That's it. Bin Laden is Bush's LONG-DEAD PR Svengali.

[Writer]

I have had enough with this. Every development in the faux "War on Terra" is followed by commentary by the evildoers, and especially the main evildoer, Osama bin Laden. It's much too scripted and convenient. There's nothing about it that feels organic in any way.

I am so far past reflecting on this. I believe this is manufactured PR as a little reminder - a bug in our ears, whether what he says supports the administration's objectives or not - that he's still about and that we need to FEAR.

Crap. I'm done with this. Where's my goddamned cocktail, because I want to be inebriated for Bush's next little "show."

1. I feel the same way, Writer.

Got one for me?:beer:

[Kikosexy2]

2. So how much is...

Chimpie paying OBL for his Osama Gone Wild tapes?....

[Writer]

4. Yeah, sure, man.

I wish I could afford to buy the entire nation a round. :beer:

3. Agreed.

He was blasted to atoms at Tora Bora. NOTHING could have survived the sort and amount of ordinance we dropped.

[NJ_Lib]

5. No, he died of liver failure way before that...

... Don't you remember...? ;)

[benburch]

6. I think it was his Kidneys.

And were that the only issue, he might still be hanging on.

There are things besides dialysis (repeatedly injecting and draining saline into the gut for example) that can work to replace kidney function, and modern portable dialysis machines are wonders.

8. It was his kidneys and my husband died of the same.

Unless he got a transplant it's unlikely he's alive today, especially under the conditions he was living in before he "got away". There is no way you can be dialyzed except in very sanitary conditions. I think the American special ops got his body in Tora Bora and have his corpse stashed away so no one knows he's dead. It would be very bad for BuchCo if Osama had died before the march to Iraq.

13. Sorry, I was being sarcastic...

... I don't believe for a minute he suffers from such a disease... Why should I, because my government said it is so...? I haven't seen any other evidence to support such a serious illness...

[Cleita]

7. No kidding. He hasn't aged a bit nor changed his clothes

since Tora Bora. His messages are rumored to be English translated into Arabic, or so it has been said by some Arab experts, and a different Arab dialect than the one he spoke in his original videos. Osama's language was noted to be very flowery and these "bail out Bush at crucial times" videos aren't.

I'm tired of these hostiles (my new word for the neo-con criminals running our government now)thinking all of us are as stupid as their support base.

[Writer]

9. I want these videos picked apart. I want them deconstructed.

I want every element of them broken apart for signs that they do not originate from their supposed source.

WE need to do this work, folks. It's up to US.

I'm starting a new thread, with Cleita's suggestion that his diction has changed since Tora Bora.

[hopeisaplace]

10. Reality TV at is finest

:sarcasm:

I agree with you, I don't believe a word of any of it now.
That's shameful in itself isn't it. I don't ever remember not
believing in a US President (may have had questions etc, but
never had doubts like I have right now).


edit: spelling

11. 9/11 MIHOP GW "Lucky Me, I Hit The Trifecta" bush and his friend

Osama Bin Forgotten. All a plan for PNAC.

14. Even for the team that created the Niger Forgeries, this is pathetic.

I read the speech. Doesn't even sound like the same person who wrote that ridiculous pre-election charade, which we know wasn't the same guy who wrote the pre-Iraq War speeches.

Like you, I really am stupified by anyone who buys this farce anymore.

[Writer]

15. Then we need to talk this up in the public discourse.

Please help!
