1. Someone here described the Bush*-Osama relationship as "symbiotic".
I have thusfar been unable to find a more apt term for it.

2. In a sense that is true
Bush can only do well in a world where the terrorists are fee form him to fight. A bin Laden captured quickly after 9/11 would have been a feather in his cap, but it would have been a past on, which would have held little power. I bleeive Bush was hoping to capture bin Laden close to the election and so sew up the election. Which is why you get articles indicating that the intelligence services know exactly where bin Laden is. But just like Bush made some "miscalculation in Iraq" they made miscalculations on how easy it would be to capture bin Laden. The Bush Administration was just as arrogant about dealing with Al Qaeda as it was with its Iraq plans.

Just last month the Bush administration released information that the Pakistanis's were just about to capture bin Laden, whil the Pakistani's were dsaying "no way, we have no idea where he is exactly or how to capture him".

I would bet that Bin Laden has traveled outside of Pakistan a number of times in the last few years.

5. OBL's in Saudi Arabia at his family's compound
it's obvious. And Bush is the one supporting the bin ladens, letting them out of the country. The royals in SA are supporting the bin ladens. The freepers are supporting terrorists by supporting bush. The freepers hate america and love the fact all those people die in the towers. That's why they support bush who loves the binladens.

3. Precisely
OBL is Bush's 'Bogeyman' and Bush is OBL's recruitment consultant .

6. That is good. Yes, they're like two sides of the same coin.
And the same could be said for Saddam and Bush, of course, perhaps even more so (i.e. Osama is a lot more effective and single-mindedly ideological than Saddam was; Bush, like SH, is more of a petty tinpot dictator who just loves attention and power and money).

4. If you think about it, it makes sense (in a sick way)
The major part of a terrorist's agenda is to spread fear and uncertainty.

Sound like anyone else we know?

Thus they have more in common than they would EVER admit.

Fear = form of control.
