Why did the neo cons totally abandon the search for bin Laden?

[Philosoraptor]

I mean, he's the perp of nine eleven, they barely even mention his name, let alone his possible whereabouts.

Now that Musharef is out, will they seek out bin Laden in Pakistan, where he's supposedly hiding?

Would a Democratic president have gotten such a pass for not getting the most wanted man on earth after all these years?

WHY did they totally give up looking for or talking about bin Laden?

I think I know.

[YOY]

1. Because it was never about Bin Laden

It was always about the excuse to wage war for profit.

[billyoc]

2. Search?! The Bin Laden Group is building their new torture facility in Saudi Arabia.

:wtf:

[babylonsister]

3. Because they wanted to get their war on. And who has profited from

not catching bin Laden?

[Botany]

4. Because he is dead.

n/t

[newfie11]

12. I agree

He has probably been dead from early on or does he work for the US.

[Botany]

13. He was on Kidney Dialysis in 2001

The odds he is alive now are very slime .... but if he is he might be back home
in Saudi Arabia in the bin Laden family compound ... but still I think he is dead
W all but said so in 2002.


“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and I really don’t care.
It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”

- GW Bush, March 13, 2002

[Frank Cannon]

26. Yep. He is pushing up daisies.

Toe-tagged. He has ceased to be.

The Bush administration knows it, and they think we are stupid enough to buy that Osama cannot afford a $50 video camera for the taped messages he releases every so often. And for the most part, they're right.

[EV_Ares]

5. Well, you have no worries now since McCain is on his way to the "Gates of Hell" to look

for him.

[grannie4peace]

6. i think if he get to the gates of hell, he'll be sucked right in :):):)

[miles 2 go]

17. I think he has the key to said "gates" n/t

[DailyGrind51]

7. Why kill their "golden goose"?

If Bush had nailed Bin Laden at Tora Bora, it would have been over, along with any interest in invading Iraq or Bush's re-election in 2004!

[uppityperson]

8. Exactly, he is needed to be their boogey man.

[HughBeaumont]

9. A. Too effective as the Repuke Goldstein

B. He served (and continues to serve) his PNAC purpose. Keep the citizenry fearful. Makes it way easy to take away their rights, shift all of the risk and loss onto them and funnel their tax dollars to the Pentasewer.

[liberal N proud]

10. Without bin Laden where would the fear tapes come from?

[miles 2 go]

18. yeah, that other guy that they had make tapes for them

was just not convincing and scary enough.

[FraDon]

11. He's THEIR guy. They made him. They know EXACTLY where he is.

If he's still alive, they protect him and his crew and his family. Like the Shrub, like PutiePoot, he's a ninth generation made man, playing his role. • For me, "I want to know who the men* in the shadows are...".

* or women; thinking Barbara Pierce Bush, for example.

[curious one]

14. He is dead!

[Philosoraptor]

15. So why is it being kept a secret?

[baby_mouse]

27. Because he had to be killed by americans.

He went and died before anyone could fire a shot. Sort of an anticlimax. Also kinda looks like the end of war on terror (snrk).

[zbdent]

16. I heard a lot about how it was Clinton's fault that ObL did 9/11 (despite the fact

that Clinton was out of office longer than the amount of time when the Repukes blamed Clinton for Waco ...)

I believe the most damning evidence against that argument is that, if it was true, then why did George W. Bush and the Repukes fight so hard against an investigation of what led up to 9/11?

[Ghost Dog]

19. Perp of 9/11? Not according to the F.B.I. (no evidence). n/t

[Philosoraptor]

20. I should have said 'alleged' perp of nine eleven.

[SpiralHawk]

24. That's right. The republicons have never produced One Shred of Evidence

that bin Laden & cronies were the 9/11 perps.

What's with that?

America would like some truth from the republicons. For once.

[Hubert Flottz]

22. He's one of them...

neoFascists and "Islam-o-fascists" are all fascists!

[Bandit]

23. Why is Abortion still legal?

Republicans had complete control for nearly a decade. They have to have something to use for their elections. And apparently Republicans are just too damn stupid to figure it out..9-11, baby killers, Bin Laden, Gays destroying the American way of life...It is the Republican Way..

[DailyGrind51]

30. Bingo!

The Republicans don't want to ban abortion. If they really wanted to repeal Roe v. Wade, they had every opportunity prior to 2006. They need wedge issues to secure single-issue votes.
