6 years after 9/11 and yet no bin Laden?
Edited on Thu Aug-09-07 11:46 AM by Botany
So how is bush keeping us safer? In 2008 if the Dems do not own
domestic and international security as an issue then they should not
run.

6 f****** years no bin Laden, the leadership of the Taliban is still free,
and al Qaeda is stronger than ever.

6 years of the Global War on Terror and what do we have to show for it?

WW II Dec. 7th 1941 to Sept. 2 1945 (U.S. phase)

In 6 years we beat Germany, Japan, and Italy then we started the Marshall
Plan to rebuild Europe and helped set up modern Japan.

the Marshall Plan


Sorry to be so disjointed and rambling but I am pissed what the hell has
bush done?

1. Shift the Blame
Bush and the Republicans are trying to figure out
ways to blame us for their own dismal failings.

Jerks.

2. Bin Laden
Bin Laden is just like a Scarecrow figure, used to put fear in the minds of Americans.

CIA is the actual mastermind............
"Scarecrows and magic and other fatal fears do not bring people closer together. There is no magic substitute for soft caring and hard work, for self-respect and mutual love. If we can learn this from the mistake these frightened men made, then their mistake will not have been merely grotesque. It will have been at least a lesson—a lesson at last to be learned."

3. Bush never wanted to 'get' bin Laden.
Never. Ever. That's why we're in Iraq, and bin Laden's still on the loose.

8. That's OK, Obama is all of a sudden a tought guy, he'll smoke him out.
One minute he wants to talk to our enemies, the next he wants to unilaterally invade Pakistan.

9. Obama was right on point
Talk to anybody and go and get people who attack us.

Besides, has Venezuela, Iran, or Syria attacked us?

11. Obama isn't the Commander In Chief.
That would be "Dead Or Alive" Bush.

Maybe you have a problem with attacking the enemies who plotted the attack on NYC.

I don't.

I know I don't. So when do we attack Saudi Arabia?

10. More important to get the US Army on top of those oilfields.
Forces could not be spared for Tora Bora because Afghanistan has no oilfields.

The criminal Bush oil mafia wants to make money, not catch the people who attacked us.
