Bin Laden's plan has worked perfectly...and it didn't really have to.

[Contrary1]

Had Junior not taken the bait.

An oldie from 2004:

Bin Laden: Goal is to bankrupt U.S.

"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah."

"All that we have to do is to send two mujahedeen to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al Qaeda, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private corporations."

"Every dollar of al Qaeda defeated a million dollars, by the permission of Allah, besides the loss of a huge number of jobs. As for the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers estimated to total more than a trillion dollars."

And the punchline:

"And it all shows that the real loser is you. It is the American people and their economy."

1. Does this mean Bin Laden won the war on Terra?

[Oregone]

2. Ug. Bin Laden is not the cause of the banking crisis...

No matter how much the right wingers will want to tell you he is. This talking point belongs in a Rudy Guiliani speech, title "9/11 and the economy, and 9/11".

We probably would of charged/borrowed/lended/invested on bad securities/squandered our asses here quicker if it wasn't for Sept 11th.

3. Bush** and his supporters/enablers over the last 8 years are the traitors who destroyed this country

SUCKERS, every single last one of them.

Hold your flag and guns close because that's about all you'll have left when your leader's fascist ponzi scheme is done, you stupid bastards.
