1. Wanna bet it gets

scrubbed?

Thanks for capturing it!

[Beetwasher]

2. Oh Man!

:wow:

That's a keeper!

[Catherine Vincent]

3. Thanks Sabra!

Of course Binny helped him. It saved his azz! And plus the Bushies do business with the Bin Ladens anyways.

[stop the bleeding]

4. I love the internets and screen shots

:rofl:

[hwmnbn]

5. I know he helped the chimp ....

in more ways than just the election. Whenever the chimp is in trouble or embarrasses himself, he pulls out the Bin Laden terrorism fear card. That placates the bushbots and the MSM. They get a juicy story and the chimp turns down the heat.

[Hissyspit]

8. Mirror Images. Two Peas in a Pod.

Birds of a Feather. Both responsible for 9/11 happening. Long lost f*ckin' twin brothers.

42. The CNN.com link is different now!

50. nah - OBL has balls, the twit/twin has none

[slor]

6. And bush helps bin laden...

by boosting his recruitment numbers. They really do work so well together.

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. .

:kick:

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Here's the link, but the heading is different somewhat

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/28/bush.binladen.reut/index.html

But it's still a pro-bush book because it's written by Bill Sammon, he's one of the biggest Bush apologist around.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

36. You got that right. The full title of the book is...

"Strategery: How George W. Bush Is Defeating Terrorists, Outwitting Democrats, and Confounding the Mainstream Media."

[Hissyspit]

10. Can you add the link to the original article to your OP, Sabra?

Never mind. Thanks cat_girl25.

[myrna minx]

11. How long before this is scrubbed?

:rofl:

[ComerPerro]

34. Its a pad piece, a love letter to Bush. Its not anti-Bush

It lets them repeat the talking point that Osama wanted Kerry to win.

[AndyA]

12. Just when you think they've hit bottom, there's a new low

What a disgrace! A terrorist (allegedly) responsible for the worst act of terrorism on American soil helped an American President get reelected. :puke:

It truly doesn't get much lower than that, unless small children start getting raped at White House parties.

[Higans]

24. Bush's buddies the UAE enslave small children and make them

ride camel. I wouldn't put your scenario past King George.

[Rocknrule]

43. But the reelection of God's representative on Earth is worth 3000 lives!

extreme :sarcasm:

[Jawja]

58. And of course,

he says this while out of the country? Yes, this is part of the playbook: when things get tough, get him out of the country and let him throw rocks from a distance. Drag out the old boogie man, Osama, and drive home the point that the jackass * IS strong on National Security!

Haven't we seen this before?

on edit: it came to me! When John Murtha was calling for a pullout of the troops in Iraq to the borders - * was overseas and he was attacking Murtha and the Dems from abroad. The "cut and run" thing, versus "stay the course."

[NJCher]

13. pic from the story

Bush provides the international jerk-off signal to let viewers know they've been had.




Cher

[Catherine Vincent]

15. LOL!

[w8liftinglady]

21. LOL!!!!!

:rofl:

[TexasLawyer]

14. Funny how well-timed that Bin Laden tape was.

And funny how all the press at the time gave ample coverage to our glorious leader's magnificent bravery and refusal to stand down in the face of "hate-us-for-our-freedom" Bin Laden.

[Blue Belle]

16. Wait for a tape to circulate on how Bin Laden is against the Ports deal.

If only Vegas had odds on that one.

[Higans]

25. All ready has.

there was a story about it here at DU last week. Some one got the link?

[Blue Belle]

26. Really?? I thought that was satire... I didn't think it was for real.

I have been wrong before though.

[Dawgs]

17. Look at CNN's headline now... (1:38 PM)

Bush: Bin Laden helped me beat Kerry

http://www.cnn.com

[sabra]

19. even better! :-)

[fishwax]

32. great headline, but alas, they've now changed it

it was good while it lasted :rofl:

[Solly Mack]

18. That's priceless!

Thanks for capturing it!!

[Che_Nuevara]

20. Bush: DieBold helped me (n/t)

[lonestarnot]

22. heh heh heh... bin telling

[holboz]

23. Author better watch out or he'll end up dead in a hotel room...

...just as Jim Hatfield did after "Fortunate Son". I pray for the safety of him and his family.

35. This piece isn't anti-Bush. Its pro-Bush

it perpetuates the lie that bin Laden supported the Democrats and Kerry

[madmark]

27. by letting OBL get away; i helped myself with moronic voters and I

beat John Kerry....You know its hard for me to even get that pissed at Bush anymore, his fucked-up deal was there for all to see and 50 some million of my countrymen still voted this idiot back in. How could they be so stupid.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

37. And let's not forget this pic that appealed to those very voters:

[spanone]

29. This is one sick man. Thousands are dying because of this asshole.

[sunyasi]

30. OBL

Of course Bin Laden helped him! Bush WORKS for him. Has ever since the Bin Laden firm bought him out of Arbusto Oil.

[fishwax]

31. i wonder if bush thinks the timing was a coincidence

:eyes:

[ComerPerro]

33. The thing I don't like about the article is that it implies

that bin Laden wanted Kerry to win.

[LiberalinNC]

38. I thought it was 9/11 that helped him, where it should have hurt him.

[chalky]

39. And the people agree. Check out the survey....

Did Osama bin Laden help to re-elect George W. Bush?

Yes 73% 19781 votes
No 27% 7491 votes

Total: 27272 votes

[The Doctor.]

40. Going to?

Did he say "going to help"?

Holy shit!

[grateful581]

41. thats not news

We all knew that
:rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

44. LOL

How funny.

[Evergreen Emerald]

45. it was not inadvertent

Bin Laden wanted Bush to win. Bush's agenda fuels the hatred of America and helps Bin Laden's recruitment goals. Please. I can't believe anyone would buy this load of crap Bush is attempting to sell.

[BadgerKid]

46. * seems to be getting grayer on top?

There must be a bit of stress knowing that 60+% of people don't like you.

[corporatemedia]

47. Nice pickup sabra LMAO

Early this afternoon I posted the cnn.com headline (at the time) to your LbN thread on this story.

In the Subject line I posted "CNN Hdln: Bush: Bin Laden helped me...
and then in the body of the post the continuation: "...beat Kerry."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2136874&mesg_id=2137408

I was LMAO before they shortened it.

I CANT BELIEVE THEY SHORTENED IT!

STILL, LMAO.

great follow up.

props to you.

ROFL

(They must have been laughing at CNN, too.)

[savemefromdumbya]

48. Bin Ladin - Wanted dead or alive! we'll see Osama at the next quail shoot

Bin Ladin 'helped'Bush - are they still oil business partners?

[malaise]

49. Wait 'til the Freepers discover

that there is no Bin Laden - hell will have no fury like Freepers scorned.
sp.

[savemefromdumbya]

56. Wasn't the story that he was Tim Osman a CIA rep or something

You read so much stuff it's hard to remember but way back before the internet in the 80s there was something about this.

[malaise]

60. I give up

I can't remember but I've had enough of this crap.

[Brothaman2k]

51. Of course it helped him

That's why he got word to Osama through the Saudis who he and his family has been in bed with for years to make the damn thing.

[Nutmegger]

52. Hey there Brothaman2k

Welcome to DU!!! :toast:

[Brothaman2k]

53. Good to be here

He and Karl MADE my "Presidency"!!

[Dukkha]

61. Bin Laden's help extends far beyond the 2004 election

There is a long mutual relationship between the Bushes and Bin Ladens. So much I wouldn't be surprised i the two of them secretly corresponded regularly today.
