Bush and his $400 million dollar last ditch effort to find Osama...

I don't know about all of you, but I honestly think president Bush is an imbecile and should be slapped back to the stone age where he fittingly belongs.

In the 8 years of his "reign of terror", he's been bent on finding Osama for the attrocities he's responsible for on American soil. And over the years since he's began his search for Osama, his efforts have mutated to finding Saddam, and eventually to what he affectionately calls the "War On Terrorism".

And in those years, the only thing we've managed to do is kill innocent civillians and thousands of soldiers, willing to lay their life on the line for this man and his "vision", which has the stench and dirty filth of foreign oil dripping from the bottom of it all.

So again, what happened with the original objective that was suppose to avenge the deaths of thousands of Americans during 9/11? As I turned on the television this morning, I see a news report on Bush's plan to once again try to find Osama Bin Laden using an additional $400 million of our tax dollars for some "covert" mission before he leaves the White House... HELLO!!!! It's not a fuckin' "covert" operation if more than half of America and the world know that you're coming after him - which is the same idiotic mistake that he made the very first time.

This country's demise has been a direct result of Bush's irresponsible actions, and yet there still exists that small percentage of people out there that still approves of him. Historical American companies and landmarks being bought cheap by foreign investors, biotech is at it's limits as a result of the ban on stem cell research, jobs continuing to be exported abroad, terrorist activities on the rise, the economy and housing market is in shambles, and our overall global rank in the world market has plummeted to a record low.

How is it that this man can have the audacity to try and approve such a measure to spend more of America's already strained financial resources to find Osama now, when destroying him and his terrorist group should have been the first and only objective he set out to do in the first place?

 

Well, keep in mind that Bush had the opportunity to capture bin Laden in Tora Bora in 2001, but instead we let him, along with his Taliban fighters, escape into Pakistan. We know many of the Taliban fighters were actually flown out of Afghanistan. Bush has also stated numerous times that he has no concern about finding bin Laden, until now, which is nothing more than a PR stunt.

The chances of bin Laden still being alive are slim to none, and if by some strange coincidence he is still alive, they know exactly where he is and are protecting him. Anyone who believes this nonsense that we cannot find bin Laden with the satellite technology we have had better do their homework, and fast.

It truly amazes me what nonsense the public can be made to believe.

 

So why would Bush say that he needs that additional $400 million to find Osama, if he was "allegedly" dead?

 

Please find me an article where it says that Bush is spending $400 million to find Osama bin Laden. The only story I read is about Bush's $400 million campaign to wage covert operations in Iran, which has nothing to do with finding bin Laden.

 

They captured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the guy who actually masterminded the 9/11 attacks.

 

Masterminded the attacks according to whom? I am sure if you were repeatedly waterboarded and subjected to all sorts of torture and other forms of mind control, you would admit to being behind the attacks also if that's what you were told to say.

 

why the hell would it even cost 400 million dollars for the U.S. military to find one fucking person.

 

Bin Laden's name was mentioned in the same breath as the "$400 million" news clip I saw this morning, but I'm sure that all the information is in today's newspaper.

 

Was it on ABC7?

 

If I'm not mistaken, I believe so.

 

According to himself.

I don't think Al Jazeera waterboarded him when he took credit for the attacks in a 2002 interview.

Please Rat, do some actual reading. Not conspiracy websites, some actual reading. Learn.

 

Yeah, he confessed alright... kind of like he also confessed to targeting the Plaza Bank, which wasn't even founded until four years later in 2006.

But that's OK. Fox News didn't cover it, so you probably didn't hear about it.

 

Why KSM's Confession Reads False

http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1599861,00.html

It's hard to tell what the Pentagon's objective really is in releasing the transcript of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confession. It certainly suggests the Administration is trying to blame KSM for al-Qaeda terrorism, leading us to believe we've caught the master terrorist and that al-Qaeda, and especially the ever-elusive bin Laden, is no longer a threat to the U.S.

But there is a major flaw in that marketing strategy. On the face of it, KSM, as he is known inside the government, comes across as boasting, at times mentally unstable. It's also clear he is making things up. I'm told by people involved in the investigation that KSM was present during Wall Street Journal correspondent Danny Pearl's execution but was in fact not the person who killed him. There exists videotape footage of the execution that minimizes KSM's role. And if KSM did indeed exaggerate his role in the Pearl murder, it raises the question of just what else he has exaggerated, or outright fabricated.

Just as importantly, there is an absence of collateral evidence that would support KSM's story. KSM claims he was "responsible for the 9/11 operation from A-Z." Yet he has omitted details that would support his role. For instance, one of the more intriguing mysteries is who recruited and vetted the fifteen Saudi hijackers, the so-called "muscle." The well-founded suspicion is that Qaeda was running a cell inside the Kingdom that spotted these young men and forwarded them to al-Qaeda. KSM and al-Qaeda often appear bumbling, but they would never have accepted recruits they couldn't count on. KSM does not offer us an answer as to how this worked.

KSM has also not offered evidence of state support to al-Qaeda, though there is good evidence there was, even at a low level. KSM himself was harbored by a member of Qatar's royal family after he was indicted in the U.S. for the Bojinka plot — a plan to bomb twelve American airplanes over the Pacific. KSM and al-Qaeda also received aid from supporters in Pakistan, quite possibly from sympathizers in the Pakistani intelligence service. KSM provides no details that would suggest we are getting the full story from him.

Although he claims to have been al-Qaeda's foreign operations chief, he has offered no information about European networks. Today, dozens of investigations are going on in Great Britain surrounding the London tube bombings on July 7, 2005. Yet KSM apparently knew nothing about these networks or has not told his interrogators about them.

The fact is al-Qaeda is too smart to put all of its eggs in one basket. It has not and does not have a field commander, the role KSM has arrogated. It works on the basis of "weak links," mounting terrorist operations by bringing in people on an ad hoc basis, and immediately disbanding the group afterwards.

Until we hear more, the mystery of who KSM is and what he was responsible for is still a mystery.

Nice post - and I mostly agree .... but please provide a link so I/we don't have to rely on your translation / interpretation of what you saw and heard.

And thanks for caring about spelling and the wording. It's so much easier to read and understand your point of view.

I'd much rather see him in Prague on war criminal charges.

Their online article made reference to both, "linking" the two with "in another report".

 

Sorry Rat, you're still talking about the Pentagon confession. I'm talking about the Al Jazeera article. And Robert Baer (I read his book, "See No Evil") thinks Al Queda did 911, so I guess you must have been having a real hard time coming up with sources if you had to use someone that rejects your entire theory. Oh well, I guess he's right when he says something you like and a necon zionist NWO agent propagandist when he doesn't? He is former CIA after all.

You should think before you spam your conspiracy website pre fab answers, they only dig you a deeper hole.

 

If anyone wants to get back to the 400 million, I think the spin is it's being used to catch Bin Laden, the truth is a little more complex than the funding both dems and repubs voted the Cheney administration.

When you already have the bounty subject, you can offer as much as you want for a capture than can never occur.

But the lure of big money to the ignorant will bring them out into the light of day so they can be spotted.

The more attractive the bait, the more dangerous the trap.

Still after all this time, it only reminds us of the lies he's generated over the years that have transcended from finding Bin Laden to finding Saddam, to the War On Terrorism. Congress should have been responsible enough to veto that plan, and allocated that money towards helping middle American's and the flooding crisis.

...And you want 4 to 8 more years of that kind of thinking for this country?

 

Wake up folks the 400 million is being spent on agitating an escalation of war with Iran. Please, stop focussing on your own little ego games, and look at the big one. And read my link the entire congress never got a chance to vote on it, just the high rollers, that's how this administration works. And no one ever asks the right questions. They just get caught up in the little crap.
