The Bin Laden tape is a huge negative for Bush
Here we have a very comfortable Bin Laden.

He doesn't appear to be "on the run", or "smoked out", or even "living in a hole."

The failure to capture Bin Laden at Tora Bora is the one biggest failure of the failed Bush Administration.

Billions of dollars and thousands of lives have been wasted by Bush, and the man who did 9/11 is still out there and still dangerous.

Time to elect somebody who can give Bin Laden hell.

1. "Read my lips, we're going to get bin Laden."
They should use it in every commercial between now and Tuesday afternoon.

4. Osama UNLOADED on Bunnypants
I'm waiting for the CNN transcript to come up, but he said something to the effect that George Bush would rather read "My Pet Goat" to little kids than worry about the thousands of his citizens who were being fried in NYC.

Also, that for the 20 mintues Bush did nothing, that was 20 minutes more time the attackers had to try to finish their job on 9/11.

7. Do you want OBL unloading on Bush?
I haven't heard the tape and know very little about it but OBL talking about My Pet Goat = parroting Michael Moore = bad news for Kerry. This tape is bad news.

5. He can run but he can't hide
He is doing neither. OBL looked pretty comfortable to me.
Effin incompetent bush! How can people see his war on "terru" as anything but a complete failure? We are in worst shape since September 11th 2001.

6. Kerry was right
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 04:41 PM by madmax
bush failed to get Bin Laden in the mountains of Tora Bora. He outsourced the job to Afghan warlords and OBL is looking better than bush. He looks well rested, well dressed, and in total control. Unlike bush who is coming apart at the seams.


Kick his ass John Kerry!!

11. Indeed, Sir
All this does is re-emphasize the failures of the criminals of the '00 Coup in prosecuting the war against the Islamic fundamentalist radicals who atacked our country. It gives new edge and further sustains the line that the criminals missed a golden opportunity to catch this wretch by "outsourcing" the job at Tora Bora, and to the colossal distraction from this vital effort the invasion of Iraq reoresents. It drives home to the people that for all the bluster of the Andover cheerleader, all his "Dead or alive" and "We'll smoke 'em out" and his "You can run but you can't hide" posturings, the fact is that Bin Ladin has indeed evaded the might of the United States, as this has been directed by this criminally incompetent administration, and is still in operation and doing quite well for himself. It is an excellent and sovereign reminder of the failures of this administration in what most people consider a vital matter, and gives the lie entirely to the Andover cheerleader's pretense that he is up to the job of protecting the nation. For that, better to turn to someone who has actually closed with an armed enemy, and shot him dead....

"If you repeat a lie often enough, you are a Republican."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
