Why is Osama bin Laden alive and Saddam Hussein dead? Dick Cheney decided

[tj2001]

who lived and who died.

Dick Cheney decided the deaths of 4,241 U.S. soldiers and 100,000+ Iraqis. Not mention the 30,182 U.S. soldiers that were maimed and wounded. All for his private entertainment.

That answers all the questions about the USA and Saudi Arabia.

2. UBL is probably NOT alive, in spite of his greatest hits regularly appearing.

The reason UBL hasn't be declared dead is simple. Bush and Cheney wanted to use him as the focal point of their propaganda, the shiny object their dull followers would watch.

3. Al Franken's explanation is as good as any one that I've ever heard

Osama Bin Laden simply fell out of favor at the WH when he proved difficult to capture. SH was also obviously easier to capture and Iraq obviously an easier target for our "demonstration project" for "preventative" war-making. Of course, in regards to Bin Laden, there is that whole "is he or isn't he even still alive?" issue to consider as well. Until we are (allowed) to see a body, it will be hard for me and probably anybody else to actually believe that he is dead. His most recent "public appearances" have been rather infrequent and questionable, however. I'm not really sure if anybody has really talked much about what we know about the state of AQ right now, particularly since we have most of their first-wave bigwigs. Haven't heard anything about/from Mullah Omar either-although he is presumed to still be alive and in charge of the Taliban but us "average people" probably will never really have much of a clue about what the situation really is regarding the state of the so-called GWOT. :shrug:

7. Trial, sentence, execution

With all that's coming to light about how SH was seeking our help against Iran and said he had
no WMD's, it was mandated by the puppets Cheney put in place to dispose of SH before he could
tell his side of the story.
That administration from top to bottom should be jailed for life, hopefully a lawyer who was a parent
of a soldier killed in Iraq will take Vincent Bugliosi's advice and take them to court and serve them
their just rewards.
F'n greedy bastards who simply wanted more wealth.
May they all rot in jail.
If I had it in me to hate I would express harsher emotions.
