Why Won't the Bush Administration Tell Us the Truth About Terrorism?
FoxNews ^ | 5/26/04 | Bill O'Reilly

Posted on 05/26/2004 10:05:25 AM PDT by pookie18

Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly. Thanks for watching us tonight.

Why won't the Bush administration tell us the truth about terrorism? That is the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo."

President Bush continues to believe that the fight in Iraq will eventually make Americans safer. And I think he's right, but I also think he doesn't make a strong enough case. Let's keep it real simple so even the far left fanatics can understand it.

Does any clear thinking person believe that Usama bin Laden would not use a nuclear weapon to kill millions of Americans if he could? Does anyone say he would not do that? If you know someone who doesn't believe that, get away from them fast. Bin Laden would use anything he could to kill as many American civilians as possible.

Yeah, and we have some guest here in JAX.

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- A ship, a long way from home, is anchored off the First Coast for the next five days.

The British aircraft carrier HMS Invincible arrived at Naval Station Mayport, Thursday.

The HMS Invincible is part of a task group that has gathered on the eastern seaboard to carry out exercises with units of the Second Fleet.

For many Invincible crewmembers, this marks their first visit to the United States.

That was a good show, as much as I watched.


I have not been a regular watcher!

I haven't watched O'Reilly too much since he started leaning Ketchup Boy's way.

However we have some excellent news here:

Report Details Saddam's Support for Terrorists Who Killed Americans

The above link is the FreeRepublic discussion thread.

The actual article is :

"Saddam Hussein’s Philanthropy of Terror"

It is a pdf document with substantial footnotes and put together by Dewey Murdock of the Hudson Institute.

"It is a war against militant "Islam"."

And more specifically, the war between The One True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob ... and the false, imposter demon god, Allah.

The demoniac of Gederra could not be freed from his possesion except by God, himself in the second person, Jesus.

The answer here is going to be a supernatural intervention from on high.

2 chronicles 7:14,

"If my people, which are called by name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways ... "

Unfortunately, the abortionists and queers are giving God the finger.

Regarding your post #11, I completely agree with what you said:

"That fact is President Bush has told us the truth about terrorism. Many in the media clearly have not been listening. We also need to back away from saying "Why doesn't he tell us the truth?". Bush is not a liar and I vehemently challenge anyone to give me an instance where our commander and chief has not been fourthcoming on the terrorist threat."

I especially agree with the idea that people should back away from the "Why doesn't he tell us the truth?" line of thought.

Personally, I wish he would have gone over it all again in his address for all of those who are diligently not listening or refusing to hear. Ours is a forgetful nation. We have already forgotten about 9/11. It's a surreal memory and one that's painful, thus quickly forgotten. I am very worried that we will soon get another reminder...or a new president, or both.

Thank you sir! FR is now inhabited with little robots that would follow Bush to the end of the world. I guess Lemmings come to mind. The population of the US of A better wake up or we will have incidents that make 9-11 look mild.

Thanks for posting that. I recall when Deroy Murdock wrote an NRO piece referencing it. Now, if only the administration would use some of it. Hopefully, this & several other things will be part of the "October Surprise". My only fear is that (since everything seems to leak) there won't be one :-(

I assure you the War On Terrorism is not part of any "little" political agenda. We are at war and it is about time that people realize that the success of this war is tied with President Bush's re-election. You are right that extremists want to kill as many of us as possible. My point to you is this, appeasement which is what the President's chief opponet this year is advocating, will embolden the terrorists into thinking we are perpetually soft targets who will cater to their every demand. I don't need pundits or politicians to open my eyes to this fact. This election is the most important in decades and the Bush haters don't understand we are at war and have no concept of how much danger their man Kerry will put us in.

The only person Bill O'Reilly supports is...Bill O'Reilly. He virtually defines the word arrogance. But there actually is someone out there who's worse in doing the on-step-for-Bush, two-steps-against shuffle, and that's Michael Savage.

O'Reilly is just another ass-clown with a big ego who likes to hear himself talk. What a jerk. I haven't tuned in his show in months.

Utter non-sense.

O'Reilly is just like Rush, looking for ratings. miloklancy is absolutley correct in stating how much danger Kerry will put us in. The terrorists are out to kill us (period - end of statement)!

They are now emboldened thanks to the yellow spanish who all rolled over for them. I predict this summer is going to be one hot time for democracy and freedoms.

Because they are still politicians and LIE is all they do. That is all they have ever done and ever will do.

Interesting ... About Jeb Bush's Excuetive order before http://www.state.fl.us/eog_new/eog/orders/...1-09-07-01.html Very Very suspicious

.. I hope Fahrenheit 911 explains some of this ... I also hope the Take back the media clip on Bush in the Sarasota Elementary school is also dissected in the movie... http://www.takebackthemedia.com/true911.html

One of the largest problems with the war IS Bush's reelection. The June 30 deadline handing insovereign sovereignty to the Iraqis is strictly attuned to the election. Bush's handlers hope that the public will be impressed with the progress being made without questioning whether the Iraqis have indeed gained their independence.

The media and UN critics will have a field day with it. Instead of being a plus, the sovereignty issue will be played out against Bush. Russia and France have already asked for the US to leave. Turning Iraq over to the UN guarantees that we will get the scraps while they get the whole carcass. Not a very smart move after the troops we have sacrificed and the expenses connected with the war.

The Bush administration often tells the media things which go unreported.

Yesterday's meeting with the men are one case in point.

The things that O'Reilly said are facts that are out there.

No need to blame Bush...why aren't the media reporting it is the question.

So we have an equal chance of success with J F'ing at the wheel. To quote a great mind:

Utter non-sense

I simply do not like O'Reilly, no matter what he says. His big claim of "looking out for us" is far more ridiculous than any of his so-called "ridiculous items".

O'Reilly is looking out for O'Reilly and his pompous, know-it-all personality became easily recognized when his FNC show gave him boosted notoriety.

Unlike he tries to convince viewers, I think Bill O'Reilly isn't at all about heartfelt conviction. His loyalty is to whatever promotes his too-smug-mug and fills his wallet.
