11 ways that Bush has helped Al Qaeda
Once again, we see an item of pure genius come from a Liberal Yahoo Poster. As far as I know, this is an original idea.

1. Bush has diverted attention and resources away from the hunt for Al Queda to his unneccessary invasion and occupation of Iraq.

2. Bush has given Al Queda an important new anarchic failed state in which to operate - Iraq.

3. Bush has increased sympathy for Al Queda in the Middle East and around the world.

4. Bush has been the best recruitment agent that Al Queda ever had.

5. Bush has failed in finding or even encouraging a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Israel/Palistine, keeping passions inflamed and support for Al Queda's goals strong.

6. Bush has deepened the split between the West and the Islamic world that is one of Al Queda primary declared goals.

7. Bush has destroyed American credibility and leadership in the world, and weakened American civil liberties and self-respect at home - something Al Queda could never have done by itself.

8. Bush has unnecessairly overextended the American military, leaving America unprepared for future attacks by Al Queda.

9. Bush has divided America by demonising opposition and manipulating nationalism and ignorance. And a divided America is a weak America, suseptible to political, economic and social turmoil following another Al Queda attack.

10. Bush has legitimised Al Queda, making it seem bigger, more important and more powerful than it is - all to further the fear that is the source of his hold on the American people.

11. Bush's vacationing incompetence and his administration's obsession with Iraq took attention from the 9-11 attacks - despite warnings that they were in the works.

And he STILL hasn't caught Osama.

13. Not much choice in that with the demise of King Fahd
Remember it was Bush I that kept the increased numbers of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia after Gulf War I.

After the old king got ill, relations (military-wise) weren't as good with his successor.

11. The CIA has been turned into an Al Qaeda front.
Actually, the whole Bush regime now appears to be working for Osama.

10. How dumb can you be?
It's so simple and the dumbass in DC doesn't get it; muslims do not want non-muslims in the middle east; it is an affront to their religion. US, Israel GET OUT! Listen to Cindy!

They just don't like us killing their women and children.
