Am I the only one
Who believes that Bushco not only knows where Osama Bin Laden is, but is using OBL to get what they want from US citizens? When Shrub wanted to instill fear in people right before the election, suddenly a new OBL tape shows up to galvanize people to vote for him...too convenient.

14. Well, the meeting on 17 July, 2001 in the American Hospital in Dubai leads
one to believe that the CIA and bin laden were involved in some affairs, together.

2. of course they do;
the Bush's have been doing business with the Bin Ladens for 20 years or more.

What I can't believe is that Americans believed that a billionaire would have been sitting in a cave in Afghanistan in freezing weather---maybe they read too many Ali Baba stories or something? Ridiculous.

We might as well just rename Saudi Arabia "Saudi Texas" or something-

24. Actually the reverse is probably more true .....
and we should rename Texas "Saudi in America".

3. no--if dead Bush would tout him out as a trophy. I think BL is dust in
some mountain that they blew up in Afgan. Just my opinion.

4. Let me also add that Americans
also believe that one of the hijackers of 9/11 rolled down the window of his plane and tossed out his passport---which fluttered to the ground unharmed like a wounded butterfly.

I give up---I live in a country full of very stupid people.

5. Of course they know where he is
but they will never capture or kill him. That would piss off the bin Laden family big time and the Bushies wouldn't dare do that. The bin Laden family is the 2nd most powerful family in Saudi Arabia. Osama knows he has nothing to worry about. Especially, after the US Military sent that helicopter to get him out of Tora Bora.

8. :thumbsup:
Thank the gods, I thought I was the only one who thought this. My husband has been subjected to my rantings, and I am afraid he thinks I have gone off the deep end LOL. Thankfully he is progressive in his views so it's all good.:thumbsup:

7. The OBL tape right before the election, soundstage?
It appeared as though bin Laden was an a TV sound stage. It was of much higher quality then other tapes I've seen...certainly didn't look like it was made in a cave, and obviously he was somewhere with electricity with lighting and such.

15. I don't think Bin Laden is dead. I think there is a very good
chance he is in Saudi Arabia staying under the protection of his extended family. He has so many followers that he could be safe in a lot of places.

17. I Certainly Don't Agree
I think the Bushco boys are so far up the asses of the bin Laden clan and the Saudis in general that they let little wayward Osama off the hook rather than risk the umbrage of a very important client.

The reason nobody in charge can find the bastard is because they haven't looked in Saudi Arabia.

18. Osama free. . .Saddam facing trial
When comparing the two we should note that Osama never tried to assassinate a member of the Bush family!

Not an accusation, just an observance.

20. I was having this very discussion last night
I believe that *ush and com, knows where Bin ladan is and right at this moment it's a moot point because capturing him doesn't fit into his agenda
