5 years and Bush hasn't gotten Bin Laden yet
Who is giving Bush a blow job that is keeping him from doing his job?

2. Washington Post is reporting today on how Bush let OBL go at Tora Bora
I got it on dailykos....

Intelligence officials think that bin Laden is hiding in the northern reaches of the autonomous tribal region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. This calculation is based largely on a lack of activity elsewhere and on other intelligence, including a videotape, obtained exclusively by the CIA and not previously reported, that shows bin Laden walking on a trail toward Pakistan at the end of the battle of Tora Bora in December 2001, when U.S. forces came close but failed to capture him.
...
That was December 2001. Only two months later, Bush decided to pull out most of the special operations troops and their CIA counterparts in the paramilitary division that were leading the hunt for bin Laden in Afghanistan to prepare for war in Iraq, said Flynt L. Leverett, then an expert on the Middle East at the National Security Council.

"I was appalled when I learned about it," said Leverett, who has become an outspoken critic of the administration's counterterrorism policy. "I don't know of anyone who thought it was a good idea. It's very likely that bin Laden would be dead or in American custody if we hadn't done that."

5. Yeah I just posted about that
I was in a car wreck and in a coma for 10 months and then rehabbing for another year and alot of this is all new to me.

I'm absolutely STUNNED at what GW did over Tora Bora. The only explanations for Bush deliberately letting Osama get into Pakistan are all out there in Tin foil hat country.

And it explains a lot about Fahrenheit 911.

7. bush Dynasty and Bin Laden Dynasty have a lot of history.......
Edited on Sun Sep-10-06 11:10 AM by Double T
including business dealings and friendship. bush hates MOST AMERICANS unless they are filthy rich NEOCONs and/or running a corrupt corporation traded on wall street. bush loves having the 'Big Fish' Boogieman still at large so he can justify his 'war on terror' overspending, over hyping and illegal government activity. Also HE does NOT want to kill the son of the Bin Ladens, a family friend.
