So what's Bin Laden still got against us? We pulled out of Saudi, we |
|
we overthrew a secular government and made possible the installation of an Islamic Republic in Iraq and returned Iraqi women to their proper status under Islamic law.
What is really left on the "to do list" Osama sent George?

12. So you got speculation, not proof |
|
You have one article dated November 2001 saying he and Mullah Omar were executed on October 16, 2001, by the Taliban, according to reliable informants in the Bin Laden camp. You have later reliable sources in the Bin Laden camp saying he died on December 10 when a missile hit his cave. You have still later reliable sources saying he was wounded at Tora Bora and died later.
I remember reading all the conservative psychos claiming Hussein had been killed by the first bomb we dropped in the suburbs of Bagdad. Eye witnesses saw his body taken out. There was much action amongst his advisors which would hint that he was dead. Some Republican commentators were claiming we killed him that first night up until they pulled him out of the bunker. His silence, they said, was proof he was dead. He also died during the first Iraqi invasion, but recovered well.
Eric Rudolph died, as his silence proved, too.
Maybe he's dead, maybe he's alive. But we've seen no proof yet.

6. Now proof of that would be explosive. |
|
Does anyone suppose there is such proof and that he's intentionally left out there as a bogeyman because they realize that support for this war has always been 1,000,000 miles wide and 1/2 inch deep?

The bush admin has give him everything he wanted; chaos in the middle east, a ligtning rod for terrorist recruitment, homegrown self-financed terror in western countries and a secular government has fallen and it will soon be replaced with an Islamic republic.

10. Attack Iran, of course |
|
He still doesn't have his pan-global caliphate. Bumbling Dubya has yet further potential to reshape the world for the worse.

11. Who knows what bin Laden thinks? I don't. I would be interested |
|
in hearing his grievances and explanations. I think he's a murderer but I used to think the same of Nelson Mandela. I used to think the IRA was nothing but murderers - they were (are?) but I still want to know what they know.
Who's not available and why is always an interesting question.
