2. I thought he looked well-fed and healthy too
Hardly the worse for allegedly being forced to move from cave to cave.

8. It was an audio tape.
No video, per al Jazeera.

They released both an audiotape *and* a videotape of him today? My, my, my.

12. I saw photos on various websites
I thought the photos were current or from a videotape. Thanks for the clarification. I wish the websites were that clear.

3. The timing of this is interesting
are we supposed to buy the idea that we should give up our 4th Amendment rights because all that eavesddropping will make us "safe" from that predicted terrorist attack? And what happens if, horror of horrors, it does occur?

6. Looks like that is the basic argument
Give up those rights or... Bin Laden happens!

4. What ever happened to the kidney machine he was on?
Remember, even thr jokes about how hard is it to find a really tall skinney Arab towing a portable dialisis machine from cave to cave???

I haven't heard anything about that in quite a while. Gee, wonder if he got a transplant in one of those "medical specialist caves?"

11. As far as I'm concerned, Bin Laden being free is the MAJOR scandal
I'm no fan of all the spying, the Iraq war, etc., but evidence is out there, AND BUSH HIMSELF SAID, that BinLaden's organization attacked the USA on September 11, 2001. Why is he a free man? And now Bin Laden is threatening this country again. That is absolutely unacceptable. Can it be that hard to catch an old man who most likely hasn't got the technology that the entire U.S. has? Something very wrong here.

14. Imagine if 9/11 happened on Clinton's watch & he failed to catch bin Laden
Do you think a DAY would go by without the right-wing shitbags screeching about it?

:grr:

13. "Bin Laden is just a figurehead." Actual words spoken to me...
... by my idiotic Bush-fellating brother-in-law.

That was in answer to my questions "Where's bin Laden?"

Which I posed as a way to interrupt his phony macho-boy monologue on how the republicans are saving the world -- and shaping history -- by eliminating the world's bad guys.

Didn't even blink, I'll give him credit for that. Didn't miss a beat before issuing that little apologia. The dumb shit.

Bin Laden carries out the most horrific attack ever on American soil, crippling a city, shutting the country down for days on end, and killing nearly 3,000 people... AND BUSH LET HIM WALK AWAY.

And how do these oh-so-patriotic, tough and rugged right-wing fucktards react? "No biggie."

:puke:

15. Bin laden likes attention. The GOP will never catch him. Won't give up
their favorite trump card, for the same reason they won't overturn Roe vs Wade.

It's all recruitment for them. Fear=approval ratings, and control.

The GOP agenda is far greater and longer than that: Eternal war and control. Eternal insecurity.

Fascism is meanlingless unless the control can be sold/assumed by the next monarch.

This is more dangerous than Hitler or Castro: It's not one man who wants control: It's the entire GOP, and there's always another rat to replace each one we indict.

We have to wake up to the long game of election rigging and powermanaging. This is organized crime, racketeering.

Bin Laden and B** play the same game, together, and we're the losers.
