Bush: bin Laden ordered non-Iraq attacks

By DEB RIECHMANN
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Seeking to rally support for the war, President Bush is pointing to U.S. intelligence asserting that Osama bin Laden ordered a top lieutenant in early 2005 to form a terrorist unit to hit targets outside Iraq, and that the United States should be first in his sights.

The information, which Bush was to cite Wednesday in a commencement address at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, was declassified by the White House on Tuesday. It expands on a classified bulletin the Homeland Security Department issued in March 2005.

The bulletin, which warned that bin Laden had enlisted Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, his senior operative in Iraq, to plan potential strikes in the United States, was described at the time as credible but not specific. It did not prompt the administration to raise its national terror alert level.

Bush, who is battling Democrats in Congress over spending for the unpopular war in Iraq, will highlight U.S. successes in foiling terrorist plots and use the intelligence to argue that terrorists remain a threat to Americans, said Frances Fragos Townsend, the White House homeland security adviser.

Oh wait, this story is two years old.....never mind.....

[soothsayer]

1. How did OBL order that in 2005---via ouija board?

[Philosoraptor]

2. Well, at least he was alive in 05. Maybe.

I believe bush uses the magic 8 ball. "Is Osama among the living"? Magic 8 Ball: 'All signs point to yes".

[MiniMe]

3. I thought that * wasn't that concerned about him?

Gotta get that Terra Terra Terra! message out.

[bigscott]

4. i thought the US was first in his sights

back in 2001? why would 2005 be any different? What did OBL have a meeting in 2005 for?? Did he just tell his minions to keep on keeping on?

5. Terra! The Revival!

Time to dust off the props and get out there!
With everyone but the American people aboard it's time for a gool ol' fashioned revival!

No, folks, that's not a Trojan Horse - "it's pratekting the American people".
God help us.

6. I'm still waiting for proof

he did 9/11

[Philosoraptor]

7. He hasn't been charged, by the FBI or CIA.

There is no official hunt for him. Switch bush's name to Clinton and you'd have to hang him from the nearest cherry tree.

11. Here you go:

Oh wait, Bin Laden said he didn't do it. That must have been the thin Bin Laden. Never mind.

8. Only Repukes can point to their failures as justification

for their actions. This is the new reality.

9. Nine US warships enter Gulf

Nine U.S. warships carrying 17,000 personnel entered the Gulf on Wednesday in a show of force off Iran's coast that navy officials said was the largest daytime assembly of ships since the 2003 Iraq war.

U.S. Navy officials said Iran had not been notified of plans to sail the ships, which include two aircraft carriers, through the Straits of Hormuz, a narrow channel in international waters off Iran's coast and a major artery for global oil shipments.

Rear Admiral Kevin Quinn, who is leading the group, said the ships would conduct exercises as part of a long-planned effort to reassure regional allies of U.S. commitment to Gulf security.

10. But Bush* said way back then Bin Laden was irrelevant..oh I'm sooo confused

Bush* would never lie to us would he? It must be more "bad intelligence"

[gauguin57]

12. Oh CRAP! WHERE is that duct tape and plastic sheeting?

I know it's around here somewhere.

[Philosoraptor]

13. In the Y2K shelter with the 10,000 cans of creamed corn.

[npincus]

14. does Chimp recycle his old toilet paper too?

circa 2005

[Richard Steele]

19. Yup- he has no choice. We only have the one sheet, you know.....

[Beelzebud]

15. Bush knows. He just got off the satellite phone with Bin Laden.

[misternormal]

16. The mere fact that this...

...story IS as old as it is, and that * is exhuming it in 2007 to use it as justification for the presence of US troops in Iraq is utterly absurd.

Anyone with any brains whatsoever should be able to see through this ploy...

And I won't even discuss this waffling of the congress, when the chimpinator dug his heels in over the Iraq spending bill. I would suppose that this is the method he used his entire life to get what he wants... Unfortunately it still works...

[trotsky]

17. But... but.. but... aren't we fighting them there, so we don't have to fight them here?

:shrug:

[peaches2003]

18. 2001?

But I thought he had said Bin Laden was operating in Iraq with Saddam and that is why we invaded Iraq??? Of course he was setting up cells in Iraq in 2005; we saw to it that all the terra-ists flooded to Iraq once the war began. So why is this new 'intelligence' of any importance at all. Oh, that's right- they all are booking flights from Baghdad to NYC now to follow us home.

[spanone]

20. And did he say he's alive cause we've been fucking around in Iraq for four years?

bet not.

[Philosoraptor]

21. Perhaps war boy will mention it in his speech before the military crowd

[yurbud]

22. first clause nails it: "seeking to rally support for the war"

Bush pulls out the boogie man and says "BOOGA! BOOGA! BOOGA!"
