are you honestly surprised by this mad? after all he has the lowest aproval rating of any retiring president doesnt he? (sorry dont know that much about US aproval ratings so im just going on whats been said here)
W was pissed, realizing he'd marble-mouthed his Decider Orders again. He knows all about Osama's burial under half a mountain in Tora Bora, years ago. Of course he can't say much about this little slip, now that it's in the open- but he meant to say "Git oBama before the enda my term". This was the worst mixup since he ordered the invasion of Iraq, meaning of course Iran, and cuz "Ahmadinejad" was just saddam hard to say ("hehe").
Georgie should have taken out Bin Laden at Tora Bora, but oh yea, he would not have a boogie man to help him get elected.
There's a bright idea, now you're thinking Georgie boy! Go get 'em. If not for the good of the nation, at least the history books won't write you up as a complete failure.
Osama is supported by Billions of family fortune and indirectly by Saudi intelligence...so it is highly unlikely, they will find him.
I think it coincides with Afghanistan's president, Karzai saying that he will send his Afghan army into Pakistan to hunt AQ / Taliban there. http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/CanadaWorld/2008/06/16/5889386-sun.html Although to be fair, it's the lawless North Western tribal areas of Pakistan where Pakistani army dares not go, so it's not really Pakistani sovereignty he threatened to violate. Another thing is that it's not certain how much operational influence OBL really has. The man Bush needs to kill or capture is the guy who is directing the attacks against Afghani government / civilians, and who is behind Bhutto's killing. This guy's name is Baitullah Mehsud.
We had a chance, but we let Afghanis control the border to Pakistan, and they were simply paid off. I heard Osama thought he was a dead man, and was then surprised we let him go. Bush just wasn't that concerned about him. He said, exactly, "I truly am not that concerned about him". He was all about Iraq even then. The incompetence surpasses anything Clinton could be blamed for.
When was the last time Binny made a video? IS he really still alive? Also, I thought that the SuperSize Me guy was going to do/did? an interview with him.
I thought he decided this years ago... Seriously, he can "decide" all he wants, but Osama has eluded folks for more than a decade, so the smart money ain't on him being caught in the next 6 months. One of the greatest of all Media myths is Osama's wealth. In actuality, he's not rolling in dough and hasn't been since he fled the Sudan, hat in hand. Most of his money comes from defrauding Islamic charities, various jihad collections, etc. He was disinherited by the bin Ladens years ago, his assets frozen. Most Saudis, or at least those with money, want nothing to do with him, either.
If they were going to catch Osama Bin Laden, they would have caught him by now. They can't be that incompetent, can they? But it would be really embarrassing for Bush to leave office with Osama Bin Laden still free. That's bullshit. Bush did not kill Saddam Hussein. The US military might have killed his two sons but they weren't exactly in the thick of the Islamic resistance. He has not killed Mullah Omar, Bin Laden, Al-Zawahiri and many others. When its all said and done, Bush and his war of terror has been a complete failure. George Bush has helped establish Iraq as a major hotbed of Islamic militant activity – Iraq is the new Afghanistan, thanks to Bush. George Bush has failed in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Karzai is a mouse, he can't do anything. He barely controls Kabul let alone the whole of Afghanistan. What the fuck is he going to do to Pakistan? The guy is losing the plot.
Heck I thought after 9/11 if bush does not catch Osama he would not win again in 2004, how wrong I was. Imagine this: there a town in which a homicidal maniac (lets say his name is Johnny) has been killing people horribly, for years on end, and the mayor of the town just before his term is up many years after the killings began says "You know what we should make a priority to catch this maniac." if I was a citizen of such a town I would put that mayor against THE WALL!
