Bush told he is playing into Bin Laden's hands(Yet another book)

Guardian ^ | 06/19/04 | Julian Borger

[HolgerDansk]

"."The people who are leading al-Qaida now seem a lot more professional group."

Make that a lot more dead, after a few hours ago...

[rintense]

"It's going to take 10,000-15,000 dead Americans before we say to ourselves: 'What is going on'?"

Oh really. For all the painting of Imperial Hubris, seems Anonymous would do better if he stopped hiding behind his false bravado and revealed his name.

[Timmy]

Howell Raines is probably "Anonymous."

[BallyBill]

Jeez, sounds like another Bush haters dream. According to the author, Bush has done everything wrong and Bin Laden is a genius. He even know UBL's living conditions!!

[Cicero]

So this is an anonymous article by Anonymous from the Anonymous Intelligence Agency with permission from anonymous authorities to tell an anonymous story.

Either it's completely bogus, like deep throat, or that rat George Tenet approved it, which wouldn't surprise me a bit, the lousy clintonoid.

[Shermy]

In an interview with the Guardian the official, who writes as "Anonymous",

Just look at the list of Kerry foreign affairs advisers. Probably one of them.

[AmericaUnited]

"Deep Anonymous" is really Bob Woodward.

[wimpycat]

The tone of Imperial Hubris is certainly angry and urgent, and the stridency of his warnings about al-Qaida led him to be moved from a highly sensitive job in the late 90s.

In other words, he hasn't been privy to the really "sensitive" data since well before 9/11.

[Shermy]

"Our choice of timing, moreover, shows an abject, even wilful failure to recognise the ideological power, lethality and growth potential of the threat personified by Bin Laden, as well as the impetus that threat has been given by the US-led invasion and occupation of Muslim Iraq."

Well, Osama ranted about the sanctions and enforcement below so I guess the only solution was to pull out and let Saddam genocide the Kurds in their autonomous zones.

Should be interesting...sounds like another Campaign for Kerry book release.

[jackbill]

Is Julian Borger any relation to Gloria Borger? If so, it seems that they deserve each other.

If anyone watched "her" interview with VP Cheney last night, you will know what I'm talking about.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Well surprise surprise someone else writes a bush bashing book praising our enemies as genious freedom fighters

I guess stupidity falls hand in hand with freedom of speach but these people are traitorous wreches deserving of a swift traitorous justice !

[WorkingClassFilth]

The source is Bill W. from Alcoholics Anonymous. He always does this kind of thing when he falls off the wagon.

[okie01]

"Anonymous" is a Democrat.

Just a guess...

[Pedrobud]

A good guess too

[tbpiper]

I'd love to catch 'Anonymous' in an empty parking lot so we could 'discuss' some to his theories.

[nothingnew]

This one is unprecedented in being the work of a serving official with nearly 20 years experience in counter-terrorism who is still part of the intelligence establishment....... and is a cowardly piece of shit.

[joyce11111]

It's a load of crap!

[JohnnyZ]

The White House has yet to comment publicly on Imperial Hubris, which is due to be published on July 4, but intelligence experts say it may try to catch bin Laden and drag him through the streets just as this B.S. book hits the shelves.

[olde north church]

After I read this column the first thing that came to mind was: Are there still people who try and use the old "reverse psychology" thing, as in, everybody knows terrorists want Kerry to be president BUT if somebody says, terrorist want Bush, etc, etc, etc.
If the author of this book is any indication of the caliber of our intelligence officers, it's no wonder we're in the straits we're in.
