I've figured it out and I am SCARED to death!!

[larrysh]

Well,folks, I think I've figured out why the U.S. hasn't been attacked in the last 5 years....and why......

Osama Bin Laden has been compromised by U.S. Intelligence and is, in fact, working for us now.....or at least working for the Bush Administration....

Just as a Mafia informant is allowed to run free(in exchange for info that leads to OTHER arrest), Osama Bin Laden has cut a deal with Bush.....

It goes like this.....The Bush Administration will continue looking for Osama (wink, wink) but in reality won't look all that hard. In exchange
for this, Bin Laden is feeding US and British Intelligence info that will prevent terrorist attacks on US soil.

Bin Laden retains his freedom, and his life.

Bush can keep beating the "terrorist still want to kill us drum".

Here's the way it works....

Someone tipped off British authorities to the recent airline bomb plot.
The British claim it was one of their undercover informants. It is
extremely difficult to "turn" one of these people and even more difficult to infiltrate these organizations. I believe this informant was served up by Bin Laden on that trite old silver platter...Good for Bush, too, as this happened just 4 months before the November elections.

Just a couple of days ago, a new video of Osama appears, only 2 months before the November elections.....

Just a month before the 2004 Presidential elections...another video from Osama appeared, and dared Americans to vote for Bush....many did,
Kerry lost.

Someone tipped off the whereabouts of Zarkhari, allowing our bombs to
obliterate him.....Bin Laden supposedly did not approve of the Jordanian wedding bombings-- believing this would turn the Jordanian people against Al Queda. Getting rid of Zarkhari eliminated a stubborn
and errant underling and a potential rival.....it also boosted Bush's
poll ratings, if only for a few days....and on....and on...and on...

I believe this deal was offered thru the Bush family contacts within the Bin Laden family....quietly and secretly, perhaps only months after 9/11. An easy thing for a former President of the United States and ex Director of the C.I.A. to do. Can it be proven? No. Hard to prove a deal that was done ORALLY!!!!!!! And no one would put this on paper....

And the payoff? The ultimate destruction of the Democratic Party. I
believe that, should a Democrat be elected President in 2008, there
will be a wave of terrorist attacks right her on US soil! These attacks will begin 8-12 months after the inauguration and they will be massive and bloody. Republicans will be quick to jump on the band wagon
yelling and screaming...."Democrats opposed the Patriot Act! The wire tapping program!! Military tribunals! CIA interrogation camps!" and on...and on...and on.....

It will then be almost impossible for Democrats to convince Joe-Six Pack, slaving away on an assembly line in Detroit, that his wife and daughter were blown to pieces--at the shopping mall--to protect terrorist "human rights" and Americans "right to privacy". At that point, all Joe-Six Pack will want is someone to blame....and revenge!

We have vastly underrated Jr., and have mistakenly believed the current struggle is about the next election, and the one in 2008. We have
underestimated the cunning of Karl Rove. We have allowed ourselves to be sidetracked by "warrentless wiretaps", Guantanamo Bay, The Patriot Act etc. And, in doing so, we have allowed ourselves to be set up for the "big kill"---the total destruction of the Democratic Party as a political force in the United States.

I am no intellctual, just an average guy. I have only a two year degree. But I believe the total picture is what I have described above.

Flame away.....

[ShortnFiery]

1. Oh yeah, Bin Laden is Dear Leader's BOY!

He comes out right before elections to scare the sh*t out of the American Populace. Therefore, if they're not sidetracked though the mindless "Bread and Circuses" fluff that the corporate M$M tries to pass as NEWS, they will be too afraid to vote for anyone other than Republicans. :puke:

The Republicans are "one trick ponies" and this third time will WASH THEM OUT OF THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTROL! God Bless a free and fair election come November. :hi:

[bluerum]

2. Little flame. Al Queada is the best thing that ever happened for

the republicans.

An evil enemy to terrorize the people and the world.

The bushists have no intention of killing Bin Laden or crushing Al Quaeda. In all likelihood they could not if they wanted to.

Rather, they are using these terrorists as allies in retaining power. The terrorists are the enforcers. The muscle on the street. If we don't vote republican, we get hit. We get dragged into the alley and we never come out. That is the threat.

I agree with you. This is nothing more than an international protection racket.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Hell, Pakistan has granted OBL a safe haven.

Musharraf wouldn't dare do that without our tacit permission.

[bluerum]

11. Correct. Safe haven by proxy. nt

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Wrong in 1 detail.

The deal was made BEFORE 9-11, and included 9-11.

The date of 9-11 was chosen by the same evil genius that named "Shock & Awe," and had to be an American. No foreigner would quite appreciate the linkange of the (phone) number 9-1-1 to "Emergency," "disaster" in the American unconscious.

[Demit]

6. That has always bothered me. It is said that there are no coincidences.

And I just can't see the terrorists thinking that hard about the significance of a date. Or if they did, it would've been something historical, like Independence Day.

[democraticinsurgent]

7. absolutely, and long before 9/11

My feeling increasingly is that OBL has been on the neocon team since the 80's, when it is widely agreed he worked for "us". I think he's continued to work for the Reagan/Bush/Neocon axis of evil ever since.

In fact, this may be exactly why Pres Clinton did not go harder after him. He couldn't. His hands may have been tied by the neocon shadow government and all he could do was "act" like he was going after him.

[havocmom]

9. Bet your ass neocons stopped him - the ones in the Senate

http://www.cnn.com/US/9607/30/clinton.terrorism/

They were more interested in Monica. Trent Lott was not in the mood to let Clinton do ANYTHING.

[Eurobabe]

16. Nah, it was a German conspiracy: think hard, what is a nine eleven??

[notadmblnd]

5. So you think if a Democrat is elected that they'll just sit on their hands

I know you didn't say that. But the part about being flooded with attacks within the 12 months of taking office. I think we can do a lot to secure this country, once in office. Securing our borders would be one of the first. Perhaps establish some programs that put unemployed back to work? I think, that as Americans, we all want to do what is necessary to keep everyone safe and I have trust that the American people are up to the job. We're a great people with many talents and resources, and yes, I believe Democrats can keep us just as safe as the republicans with out stepping all over the constitution.

At this point there's nothing I wouldn't put past this regime to remain in power, but I also believe that the Democrats are up to the job of fighting not only foreign terrorism, but our own domestic ones too.

[larrysh]

8. They are already here.......thru our southern border.....which Bush

will not defend in any meaningful way.....They are here now, ready and waiting. Targets have been chosen, rehearsals complete. And there is nothing a Democrat President can do to stop it....this war on terror
is a tool of the larger civil war raging in the US....us against them.
And them got the jump on us this time....We, as Democrats, reacted exactly as Rove expected....we opposed every national security program Bush put forth....Hell, on the FISA program all he had to do was go get the warrants after the fact. Bush DARED us to raise a fuss about it!!! Rove threw down the guantlet and we took it.....We, as Democrats, are always concerned about the VERY NEXT ELECTION!!! The BFEE is playing for the next 20 years!!!!

[notadmblnd]

13. what are they supposed to do right now?

the Democrats are powerless. Republicans control congress, why don't people understand that?. In actuality, Republicans are the ones doing nothing. Democrats can't even get their bills to committee let alone debated on the floor. The current regime is the gatekeeper, they decide what get through congress and what doesn't. This is the reason we need to take back congress. All I know, is that everyone is fed up at this point. Change is in the air, what type of change that occurs is up to us, the people. With a defeatist attitude, you're absolutely right, we'll be defeated. I may go to my grave fighting this fight.. but it's ok.. I refuse to live my life paralyzed by fear and terror. And I absolutely refuse to give up my only child for fascism.

on edit, I'm not trying to flame you, but I think their tactics have worked very well on you.. you're scared. I hope in time you'll gain the strength you need to be able to see through your fear. there IS hope.

[leftofthedial]

10. bin laden and king george have ALWAYS been partners in crime

osama should beware though. saddam once was partners with the neocons.

[area51]

12. "there will be a wave of terrorist attacks right here on US soil"

They don't need to do this to get nazi party members "elected"; for the most part, they control the means of electronic voting.

[leesa]

14. OBL had a terminal illness and is dead. I have no doubt that Al Qaeda

is a construct of this administration however, so your theory can go with that.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Kidney disease.

Not necessarily fatal. He was apparently on dialysis, & probly got a transplant by now, courtesy PNAC.

18. My Unka Artie is ALIVE!

;-)

[laundry_queen]

15. No flames here.

This very scenario has occured to me more than once.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

19. Not out of the question

Bin Laden started out as a CIA asset fighting in Afghanistan for Reagan and Poppy, and the Bush family is still friendly with his relatives.
