Thompson: Osama Bin Laden Is ‘More Symbolism Than Anything Else’

tpig.jpg Speaking to reporters in Iowa today aboard his “brightly colored campaign bus,” Fred Thompson spoke about the war in Iraq and the war against terrorist networks. He claimed — without any evidence — that “Americans are beginning to move in his direction in their support for the war in Iraq.” He also dismissed the threat of Osama bin Laden:

Bin Laden is more symbolism than anything else. I think it demonstrates to people once again that we’re in a global war.

Thompson’s statement echoes the sentiments of President Bush, who in March 2002 said, “I truly am not that concerned about” bin Laden, and Ann Coulter, who said in Aug. 2006 said that bin Laden is “irrelevant.”

Yet bin Laden — the man who masterminded the attacks on 9/11 — is more than just a “symbol.” Today he issued a new videotape promising to “escalate the killing and fighting against you.”

In May, U.S. News reported that “bin Laden already has a safe haven in Pakistan — and may be stronger than ever” as al Qaeda “retains the ability to organize complex, mass-casualty attacks and inspire others.” Bin Laden is behind much of this resurgence:

1. Anyone need more proof that ThomBush is the next Emperor of Amerika?

He is already announcing to the Bushie Masters who have already seated him that he knows his job is to allow Loyal Bushie Osama Bin Laden to remain free.

They in turn will rerun 2004 script, complete with massive Election Fraud by the Bushies. The MSM will continue to repoeat lies to the gullible, under the vastly discredited notion that there are two sides to every story.

Actually there usually ARE two sides to a story, but NOT when dealing with Bushies or Naizs.

Then there is only the truth, and the Bushie or Nazi Lie.

Corporate TV Pravda hasn't figured it out or more likely ignores reality (how easy that is to do for Loyal Bushies), thus we get "The Democrats say 1 + 1 = 2, but the Republics say that's Liberal Nonsense and that 1 + 1 =3."

We will get more oft he same in '08. The MurderStreamMedia has not changed significantly since 2000, and what few changes there are are cosmetic and useless.

So there he is: Our next Emperor and the Throne Holder between Imperial Family members.

5. My hope is that he will do a "Crash & Burn" faster than any Repug Candidate

has ever managed to do. If Rudi and the rest aren't enough of a joke...trying to put St. Ronnie lipstick on THIS PIG...sort of goes beyond even the dark depths of desperation we know the Repugs are capable of....

:puke: Fred Thompson...the most foolish Candidate the Repugs have EVER OFFERED! And, they want to throw him up in total Desperation as their last "Great White Hope for Wall Street!"

3. Osama Bin Laden: Fake or Real danger?

Been Lied On
Is this man called Osama Bin Laden really a terrible man with the power to order attacks on the US at will?
Or is he made up by the bu$h regime to incite fear among stupid Americans enabling the bu$h regime to attack and occupy two nations while stripping the citizens of the United States of basic civil liberties and their freedom?

4. Yeah, right. Is that what they'd say, if they'd caught him?

[KoKo]

6. Imagine any Dem President (think Carter for one) not catching Osama

and doing another WAR and Invasion...having nothing to do with "catching Osama" and saying: "We gotta fight them over there...so we don't have to fight them over here."

Imagine how THAT ONE would fly with the M$M..:eyes:

7. Right. The whole point of having a boogeyman is that you only drag him out when you want

to scare the kids.

8. and...he's easy for an actor in makeup to play. Australian Group showed that to Chimpy

this week. How easy it is to get an actor to dress up and look like binLaden. Is it the fat one or the skinny one this week. I hear this one had dyed his beard. :rofl:
