President Bush would like nothing better than to take away Kerry's "Did You Catch Osama Yet?" Card.

[Mr. Mojo]

Bush has reportedly ordered US agencies to step up efforts to catch Osama bin Laden amid accusations by Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry that the White House has neglected the al-Qa'ida leader to the US's peril.

This kind of makes it sound as if the Prez is only going after him hard now because of the prodding by Kerry. ......so Kerry should get credit if we do catch him.

Reprehensible.

[WhiteGuy]

A little early in the election year for this...............

You'd think they'd wait until at least October.

I wonder what they have planned instead?

Bush Orders bin Laden Caught

You mean to tell me that after all that has happened, President Bush is just now getting around to try and capture OBL? That IS what the headline says, isn't it?

[The Wizard]

what a stupid headline, like the order was just given.....

[DCPatriot]

I wish he would order that I win the Mega Millions Lottery!

[bwteim]

Plus, Senator Waffle Kerry also has his own exit strategy - last paragraph - if GW gets OBL, still " would not end the war on terrorism".

[StriperSniper]

Bush has reportedly

Oh yeah, from who?

According to The New York Times,

Nevermind, this is just propaganda.

[Lijahsbubbe]

That's how it sounds to me also....

[alloysteel]

This is a new order? I had thought this had been an objective since about September 11, 2001, from the moment the probable blame for the events of that day had been assigned to Osama bin Laden. There is ample reason to believe that bin Laden had been waxed sometime in December 2001, since there are no verifiable videotapes that can conclusively answer the question whether he was still alive and only audio tapes that "may" be the voice of bin Laden.

There is technology that can change the "voice print" of one specific speaker so it closely resembles the known "voice print" of another, adding resonances and harmonics digitally. The controlling authority of al-Qaeda certainly has incentive to attempt such disinformation.

It'll be "Weekend at Osama's".....

[cyncooper]

This kind of makes it sound as if the Prez is only going after him hard now because of the prodding by Kerry. ......so Kerry should get credit if we do catch him.

That's how it read to me, too.

Of course, the facts we know and the additional details offered in the piece after that bouquet thrown Jean Kerry's way, make it clear it's a convergence of intelligence, weather, strategy and so on, that explains any "stepping up", if it can even be properly termed that. The idea that bin Laden's apprehension has ever been on the Bush backburner is absurd.

[cyncooper]

Bush wants bin Laden when they can get him. Period. Not timed for electioneering.

God willing it will work out to the best timing, but that is the fact. He just wants him because that is the objective.

[WhiteGuy]

Not timed for electioneering.

Ok, you bet.

[cyncooper]

No, I don't bet. I know that President Bush wants bin Laden dead or alive and has since 9/11/01.

Take your offensive implications somewhere else.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Hmmmmm....

[sweetliberty]

"amid accusations by Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry that the White House has neglected the al-Qa'ida leader to the US's peril."

Wait a minute....I thought I just read yesterday how Kerry was downplaying the importance of bin Laden. That slimey weasel can't make up his mind about anything, can he? Both of his faces are butt ugly.

[Las Vegas Dave]

My wife came home from work the other day with a puzzled look on her face, her best friend at work told her that "Osamma had been caught and Bush was saving it for an October surprise."

I told my bride that it was a RAT attack upon president Bush, and her friend is obviously a LIB. I also told her about MOBY and their attack on our administration.

Any suggestions on how she can handle her friend without losing her friendship would be much appreciated! (BTW: Libs husband is a gbmt lawyer.)

[WhiteGuy]

Take your offensive implications somewhere else.

Well,

I guess you told me.

please indulge me, does president bush give you your private briefing daily, or weekly?

Just wondering..................................
