Osama Bin Laden - Republican Leader - Republican Patron
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 12:24 PM by blue2helix
If you think that Jack Abramoff is the number one gift giver to the RNC, you're way off. What OBL has provided to Neo-Republicans makes Abramoff's contributions seem puny, a mere taxi ride tip compared to an oil executive's golden parachute.

1) Who is singlehandedly responsible for 300 percent profits (gift) to the energy industry/ Calyle group/ Haliburton since 9/11?

2) Who set the precedent for Cheney's dream of carving up Iraq's oil fields as evidenced by his pre 9/11 meetings with Oil Executives (administration won't release documents)?

3) Who guaranteed Bush a second term in office by releasing a tape on the eve of the election, knowing full well that Americans are reluctant to switch Presidents while in the midst of a war (never been done before)? POLITICAL CAPITAL INDEED!

4) Who got his wish of moving U.S. troops from Mecca (now on permanent bases in Iraq)?

5) Who got his wish of inspiring a world wide Islamic Jihad spurred on by the invasion of Iraq?

6) Who is responsible for the erosion of the separation of church and state in the United States no less?

7) Who provided Neo-Republicans with a nationalistic platform based on xenophobia, intolerance and flag waving!

8) Most recently, who has provided the MSM with its most recent OBL=Democrats talking points tape. Never mind that he's still fucking alive and well!

Bush will never capture or kill OBL. OBL is his number one enabler. The Neo-Republicans would not have been able to achieve there objectives without him.

To those of you who support this administration, please think about these talking points, because for those of us who know better, we are left with only two ways of understanding you.

Either you are maliciously inspired or pathetically stupid.

1. Great post.
Funny how the media doesn't mention Osama's gotten pretty much his whole wish list fulfilled by this administration.

8. Thanks, feel free to add to the list

We need to control the debate. Get the word out on how OBL has enabled the Neo-cons.

As long as OBL is alive, we should hammer away about this failure. The lies, the mindless flag waving, the ghoulish opportunism.

Bush wants to be remembered, KILL OR CAPTURE OBL! Period. (We know that wont happen, he's too fucking valuable to the Neo-Republicans as an ex-CIA boogeyman)

14. See this Congressional report on Oil Profits
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 01:23 PM by blue2helix
fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/51075.pdf

You may have to cut and paste the link (Warning Large PDF file!)

Breaks down and analyzes net income/revenue etc..from 2002 to 2004.

Also, you can go to Yahoo and pull up charts on Halliburton, Exxon and other publicly traded companies and see for yourself by looking at the reports and charts for each company.

6. Alive or not, OBL is a myth.
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 11:57 AM by pauldp
Four years later the M$M still does not question the authenticity of that pathetically faked confession tape.
E is the confession tape Osama. Remember Sesame Street?
One of these things is not like the other...


"maliciously inspired or pathetically stupid."
That pretty much sums up Republicans.

7. I think that the Bush/Bin Laden deal is: Don't ever attack within
the US again, and we will conveniently let you remain unfound.

10. I think that if an attack on the U.S. was to benefit
either group (Neo-Cons or OBL) it wouldn't be surprising if it happened (or was allowed to happen) again.

U.S. Soil Attack = IRAN INVASION

11. UBL has never attacked the USA, to my knowledge.
I believe that he is still the same State Department / CIA asset he has been since the 1980s.

13. Here's an idea
What if OBL and our current dictator were actually in cahoots from the beginning... I was working in Atlanta on 9/11. The skies of that city were so empty it was spooky but, please correct me if I'm wrong, OBL's family did fly out of America on that day... Most officers of the law or court will tell you when someone commits a heinous crime, the suspect's family is questioned extensively. Why didn't they question his family? A prosecutor will advise family members, "don't leave town." Why did Dur Fuhrer help those Bin Laden family members leave, not only town, but the country?

15. Digging back into pre-Clinton days and going forward,
the Bin Laden/Bush partnership tied with the Saudis is very old.

17. I always like to post this little amiable divorce note:

> http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,5-2001365686,00.html
>
> TUESDAY OCTOBER 23 2001
> Bin Laden family to end ties to Carlyle
> FROM CHRIS AYRES IN NEW YORK
> THE family of Osama bin Laden is close to ending its relationship
> with the Carlyle Group, the US investment group backed by George
> Bush Snr, the former President, and John Major, the former Prime
> Minister.
>
> It is understood that Carlyle Group and the Saudi Binladin Group,
> the Middle Eastern conglomerate owned by the family of bin Laden,
> have decided to part company by “mutual consent”.
and a little quote I saved:


http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/247753p-212149c....
See tape as boost for Prez
We want people to think 'terrorism' for the last four days," said a Bush-Cheney campaign official. "And anything that raises the issue in people's minds is good for us."
A senior GOP strategist added, "anything that makes people nervous about their personal safety helps Bush."
He called it "a little gift," saying it helps the President but doesn't guarantee his reelection.

20. so why don't these impoverished anglo-types get it?
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 10:21 PM by Jeffersons Ghost
Tonight I had one tell me that the democrats in DC are compromising national security... I asked him did he think all those republicans that really ran the war were really telling them much? I mean the guy likely made $30 thousand or less a year, with a family... he can't afford to pay the tab on this war, with the american dollar's value dropping like a rock... He drove a big rig, so he must really love um, with them stealing food from his table like they do at the pumps.

21. because very few know it - it was printed in UK, not here
Most people don't go looking for their news - news find them before they doze on the couch. And those news, don't have this info.

19. um, we need a poster of OBL holding a sign saying: "Vote Republican 2006"
That will frame the security issue pretty clearly.
