WASHINGTON (AP) - A former Obama administration official says al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden wanted to see President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus assassinated.

But Michael Leiter tells NBC's "Today" show he didn't think that necessarily was bin Laden's highest priority, suggesting the terrorist leader dreamed of another large-scale, 9/11-type attack on the United States.

21. "4. I see no difference between his wishes and that of the Republicans/Teabaggers!"

And who's to say they were not in cahoots?

The old axiom, "Politics makes strange bedfellows" has before in history proved right in many, many different scenarios.

Just saying.

23. Uh-huh. But I didn't want to go there. ;) n/t

8. Did he also indicate that he wanted Bush assassinated?

Maybe he didn't because OBL and W were bidness partners?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. Uh-huh! And that's why Dumbya and Pappy Bush protected his family

all these years.

They're in business together and have been for a very, very long time!

[Lawlbringer]

18. And also why W went after Saddam so hard

Family business.

9. WHY???

Why hasn't it gotten more press that up until his death Osama Bin Laden still had command and control of Al Qaeda.

This was a shocker, he was not living in a cave isolated, he was communicating with his network and planning attacks against the US as the leader of Al Qaeda. This should have been headline news for months. We were lied to in order to cover up the Bush failure in Tora Bora. My god, Bin Laden was still the largest active threat to our safety and they tried to hide that from us, where is the outrage!!!???

[nanabugg]

12. It won't be a headline unless WE make it one.

Post to all MANBC pundits, CNN, and even FOX. I love to send this stuff to FOX pundits because it sends them over the edge!!

[Johnny2X2X]

17. Agree

I have been asking the same question on all of my regular sites today, it's just crazy that this hasn't been a bigger deal.

[valerief]

10. UBL aka OBL was a teabagger? nt

[Evasporque]

11. But he wanted a beer with W.....nt

him assassinated as well, so they have some company...
