Bush talked about Osama today -- does this mean he shows up in October?

[DeepModem Mom]

How long has it been since Bush mentioned Bin Laden by name? Hasn't he been downgrading him as a concern?

Today he compares him in a speech to Lenin and Hitler:


BBC: Bush compares Bin Laden to Hitler

President George W Bush has compared Osama Bin Laden to Lenin and Hitler in a speech to US military officers.

"Underestimating the words of evil and ambitious men is a terrible mistake," he said as he quoted extensively from Bin Laden and other al-Qaeda figures.

He said the world had ignored the writings of Lenin and Hitler "and paid a terrible price" - adding the world must not to do the same with al-Qaeda....

"Bin Laden and his terrorist allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them," he said.

But, he added, the US and its allies could be confident of victory in "the great ideological struggle of the 21st Century" because "we have seen free nations defeat terror before"....

Is Shrub ready to reel in the big fish? I say the Dems should factor this into the political schedule, and prepare for it.

1. What country does bin Laden command?

Give me a freakin' break!

[liberal N proud]

2. Is there an election in November?

Of course Osama will make a late October appearance. I am sure he is scheduled to pop out of his cave somewhere between Oct 20 and 30th

4. the mere mention of his super scary evil name is enough

its worked wonderfully for six years.

3. The Dems need to get on top of this! They should be screaming about

the GOP's planned October surprise:

COMING SOON TO A COUNTRY NEAR YOU!

An achievement of brilliant proportions!

Timing so perfect it could have only been planned in advance!!

Forget about everything we've done up to this point - the high gas prices, outsourcing, the lies, the deficit, the cronyism, forget it all!!!

VOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER, BECAUSE WE'VE DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB CATCHING OBL A MERE 6 YEARS LATER.

5. You Can More Or Less Bet On Seeing Him In October

I really believe it. The asshole might be freezerburned, but he'll be dead and in our hands.

[TahitiNut]

13. I agree. Distract from Iraq. Thaw out Osama from his Pakistan enclave.

I gotta believe he's been kept corralled and ready for the grabbing when most convenient for political purposes. I'd put the probablity at about 65% that he'll be pulled out of the Pakistani Hat in mid-October. Makes too much sense to be viewed any other way.

6. Isn't It Too Late And Too Much Damage Done...

to pull this stunt now? I am of the mind that OBL and Bush have some kind of Iran/Contra deal going, as long as they both benefit from terra terra terra they stay out of each other's way. Those two and their cabals are the only ones benefitting from any of it...

7. You bet. They already have the taping studio reserved for 10/18 at 1:30

It's located in Langley...

8. Misunderestimating isn't it?

:silly: Why did Pinhead** ignore the warning of Aug. 6th, 2001? Wasn't convenient for him to pay attention an "evil and ambitious man then? But it is now, because the Head Cheerleader says so? Listening to Pinhead** is a mistake, imho. Besides, didn't Pinhead** say he wasn't concerned about Osama Bin Forgotten a mere 6 mos. after the attacks of 9/11, that he didn't spend much time thinking about him? Which is it Pinhead**? Can't have it both ways, you Moran!

9. As soon as they remember which freezer he's in

:)

11. Great Advertisement For Ziplock Bags, "Look, No Freezer Burn"

[RaleighNCDUer]

10. And, surprise surprise, just today I see a headline saying that

NATO forces have the Taliban cornered in Afghanistan.

So has OBL been marginalized enough to no longer be a good bogeyman? Are they going to spring his capture upon us for the 06 election, rather than save him for 08?

They could be pulling out all the stops, because they cannot bear to lose the House to the dems - that would mean investigations and indictments.

Is this our October Surprise?

[CrispyQ]

12. Let's all dress up as OBL for Halloween.

:rofl:

[kimmerspixelated]

14. It's all BS, OBL has been dead for at least 3 years.

However the propaganda will continue..

[seabeyond]

15. personally i think he paid off bin laden and there was an agreement

i say no
