DNC Blasts Bush on Bin Laden

The Democratic National Committee has launched a new push to blame President Bush for not capturing Osama bin Laden, with an Internet petition drive that calls on Bush to "change your priorities immediately and get" the al-Qaida kingpin.

"Your failure to make his capture your top priority endangers American lives," the DNC fumes, "and is an insult to everyone who lost a loved one on September 11."

Who pulled their chain?

I'm sure Bush will take their advice and try his best to get Bin Laden now, so they can run to his defense if captured alive.

Yes, then we can have a group therapy session with obl, to show him we are really not as bad as he thinks. The dems will even offer obl a green card. How nice.

Please do not ever forget 9/11/2001, and who the hijackers/terrorists were.

I believe we are doing as much as we can given the "protective" stance of Pakistan and the people in the mountain regions

Ok. Here's my big concern with Bin Laden. He is not a Zarkawi. He doesn't plan day to day terrorist activities. He is a long term, large scale planner.

I have a feeling that his next target is a coordinated attack on 3 or more Stock Exchanges within hours of each other. Great Britian, the U.S. and a European exchange. They may be also looking at the stock exchange of Australia.

Bin Laden has a real thing against the economic power of nations. His attack at the World Trade Center was not just an attack against America, I don't believe.

It seems that recently there have been incidents of people of questionable character "videoing" stock exchanges. But, I can't recall the specifics.

Bin Ladin is the "reclusive" type of individual that is willing to stay in a cave or other hideout, know only to a couple of trusted people and they "go out" and make all the contacts for him. If a person is willing to stay in seculusion and not let his face be seen by any people outside his inner circle and they don't talk about him, it is very hard to find him.

He is well aware of our monitoring of cell and satillite phones. So, while it takes much longer, messages are passed either orally down a chain of people or through written, hand carried instructions. Even "unknown" remote villages have computers and "email." They can send a very innocent meassage like "if you visit New York," make sure you get me a picture of where all that money exchanges hands. You know, Wall Street. Family is fine here.

So, while I agree we need to get this guy as soon as possible, I also realize how much this is like &quot;looking for a needle in a haystack.&quot; Unlike Zarkawi, he is not &quot;out and about.&quot; Even Zarkawi is hard to locate due to his loyal inner circle that &quot;go out&quot; for him. He can stay in hiding and move only when re-locating. So, as hard as he is to find, Bin Laden is 10 times more difficult to locate.

No. *The DNC is blaming GWB for Clinton's failure to capture bin Laden. *It would seem the Dems have totally lost it. *But if the Repubs keep suggesting RINOs for '08 the Dems could wind up in the driver's seat in '08.

[Rahjo]

While the DNC speaks someone has to say &quot;Did you hear something? I think I heard someone clanging a cymbal or something..&quot; No value added in any of their comments, no ideas, just the normal hateful empty headed talk.

[KatyJ]

I have said this before in other threads, but it bares repeating. *

http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/pinocchio.gif, you and your administration had numerous opportunites to capture Bin Laden during your eight year term, so don`t blame President Bush for doing his job. *President Bush is doing a super job than you did in the past. *

The Democrats has forgotten about what took place on 9/11/2001. *This country was attacked by Bin Laden's savages because they were not stopped under Clinton's watch. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/fire.gif

Right you are!!! But what more could we expect from the draft dodger (and long list of other offenses) who spent his young life protesting Viet Nam overseas...WHAT A PUKE OF A PRESIDENT HE WAS!!

[KatyJ]

Clinton didn't anything when the USS Cole was harmed by these savages and when the WTC was attacked in 1993. Instead, he went after big and small businesses. And, he brought scandals to the White House. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/fire.gif He is the worst President in the history of our
country.

Bile Clinton did too do something, he bombed an aspirin factory. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

I really don't think OBL is going to do much to hurt us now. Living in a cave on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan pretty much limits your ability to operate.

I wonder why the DNC views OBL as such a threat now, since when they were in power, they did virtually &quot;nothing&quot; to put him &quot;out of business&quot;? I guess their priorities changed when the Republicans came to power.

No wonder the Dems lost the election; they don't know where they stand on any issues. I think they learned that from the Clintons.

[Old Man]

I view him as a threat for the same reason as before. He has cells in every country, he plans for years, he is very good as keeping the plans secret, but some tips have been given in arrests. The filming of stock exchanges and some financial facilities leads me to believe he is plainning another coordianted attack through his cells. On the same date in more than one country he will hit stock exchanges or other world financial institutions.

He has a real &quot;thing&quot; about the wealth of the world. Maybe living in a cave does that to you.

Planning is easy, carrying out the plans is the hard part.

Now that he is a &quot;wanted man&quot;, he does not have quite the freedom to put his plans into action.

Now, having said that, we know that there are others, besides him [OBL], coming after us. If they are successful, they will give OBL the credit; even if he is dead.

Then the Dems will say, &quot;Bush never caught OBL: &quot;That is why this happened!&quot;

Even if we captured OBL, terrorism will continue. If you kill a rat, there will be another rat to take his place.

You cannot completely stop terrorism, you can only isolate it to where it does the least damage; again, this is similar of rats.

[Old Man]

This guy is not much of a fighter. He has stayed &quot;behind the lines&quot; from the beginning. He always sends others to their death.

The only reason I was saying what I though he might be doing is that twice now, once in Austrailia and then the people Britain caught, I believe, had been filming stock exchanges and other financial buildings. I wish we could just get a tip on how he s getting his messages out to the cells. Then maybe we could &quot;back track.&quot;

[/QUOTE]

Maybe he is, maybe he's not. His messengers are also liars. It's hard to tell who's giving the instructions.

For instance, if an individual does something on his own, and is caught, he might say that he is acting for OBL, when in fact, he never received instruction from OBL. Or, he might have acted on orders from someone else who said they were from OBL.

The possibilities are endless.

These types of people are so unscrupulous, inhumane, and without honor, that they will say or do anything. I hate to keep referring to rats, but that's just about what they are: A bunch of rats. And OBL is the King Rat. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif
