George W. Bush's continuing in office is a victory for al Qaeda

[Mark E. Smith]

- Who else could spend half a trillion dollars putting troops into the Middle East and not catch Osama bin Laden?

- Who else could could conduct a "war on terrorism" that has led to our military suffering 10s of thousands of casualties
without taking al Qaeda out?

- It is now 5 years since 9-11, why are the people responible for the killing of 3,000 Americans in New York and
Washington DC still at large and still killing Americans?

By allowing George W. Bush to continue in power we are contributing to the well-being of al Qaeda.

Bin Laden: Goal Is To Bankrupt U.S.
November 1, 2004

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/01/binladen.tape/

Al-Jazeera aired portions of the videotape Friday but released the full transcript of the entire tape on its Web site Monday.

"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript.

He said the mujahedeen fighters did the same thing to the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, "using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers."

"We, alongside the mujahedeen, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat," bin Laden said.

He also said al Qaeda has found it "easy for us to provoke and bait this administration."

This was from the Bush endorsement speech just before the election.

On Oct. 29, 2004, just four days before the U.S. election, bin-Laden took the risk of breaking nearly a year of silence to release a videotape denouncing Bush. The CIA quickly reached a classified conclusion that bin-Laden knew that his anti-Bush tirade would spur more American voters to back Bush for another four years in office. CIA analysts recognized that bin-Laden saw Bush’s policies – such as the Guantanamo prison camp, the Abu Ghraib scandal and the Iraq War – as playing into al-Qaeda’s hands by creating a new generation of Islamic jihadists and undermining pro-U.S. Arab governments.

. . .

Meanwhile, in the hours after the Osama videotape was released, pro-Bush pundits fell into the trap by defining bin-Laden’s rant as an endorsement of John Kerry. Heading into the election, Bush’s support jumped six percentage points in one poll.

3. Most definitely.

Osama is Bush's lifeblood, the foundation of the Republican Party. They'll protect Osama to the end. Or until the public wakes up, at which time they'll kill him to capitalize on him one last time.

4. If Dems were Pubs, we'd be tying Bush to Osama every chance we had.

Republicans, even those at the top of the heirarchy, have absolutely no problem accusing Democrats of outright treason on a regular basis. They shout such outrageous charges so often that a certain portion of the public accepts them as true simply because the Dems don't loudly refute them.

(Like Kerry, Democrats often make the mistake of believing that the public is too smart to believe obvious lies.) ]

The only way to negate the underhanded tactics of the Pubs is to use the same tactics on them. Make THEM deny that they are traitors; with their record, they'll have a harder time doing so than we do.

7. Agreed

And we should also be tying his stupid ass to the fact that 5 years after
9-11 al Qaeda is STILL killing Americans.

5. I Don't Think Failure Is An Impeachable Offense, But There's Plenty

Of crimes to choose from.

The man has to go, there is no question about that. Our best hope resides in John Conyers and the House Judiciary Committee after the first of the year.

And that is the problem. Bush knows full well that if the Democrats take back the house he's going to be impeached. What happens in the Senate is anybody's guess.

At the moment it looks like Democrats will get the people's House back - so the real question becomes will Bush allow an election?

8. Would also contributing to the ill-being of the Constitution, the Bill of

Rights, the Republic, liberty and freedom itself, the value of the dollar, the economy, the stock markets, the environment, the jobs market, the standard of living, the fiscal soundness of the Federal government, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, ad infinitum ad nauseam be an honest and accurate assessment too?
