You hadn't heard? Well, I'm not breaking news, President Bush knows damn well that UBL has been dead for quite some time. But why would Bush keep it to himself? If he were to disclose his knowledge that UBL is dead he would blow John Kerry's doors off in the election, and yet he remains silent. Why?
Maybe you're wondering how I know he's dead. Perhaps one of my SEAL buddies let me in on the secret? NO. I know because a publicity whore and grandstanding scumbag like UBL could not possibly resist the multitude of opportunites to inspire his cult members. His number 1, Zwahiri, has appeared on video or audio broadcasts every few months since 9/11. UBL has not been heard from since Tora Bora despite developments in the GWOT in Afghanistan and Iraq that make it unthinkable for him to have remained silent. Not to mention successful attacks in Bali, Madrid, Turkey, and Jakarta to name a few that remain unremarked upon by UBL. The invasion and occupation of an Islamic state by the US and not a word. Elections held for the first time in Afghan history, and he had nothing to say about it in the lead up. AQ tried once early on to air a tape that never mentioned key developments in the Afghan campaign and was quickly discredited as an attempt to put one over on his followers by airing a previous recording. Zwahiri decided that it was better to just pretend that UBL was alive because there was no plausible martyr story to tell. UBL went out running for his life like a coward. He is dead. His remains are turds shat by scavenging animals in the mountains of Afghanistan blown by the wind and stomped on by US troops.
By why not make it public? After all, this is the one thing that could ensure the President's re-election. Have you noticed how coy DOD officials and high ranking officers are when the question is posed? They know. They certainly have intelligence to this effect. Of course, the President could have instructed subordinates to start saying that intel indicates UBL is dead. This would have put pressure on him to prove otherwise by issuing a statement which he is clearly unable to make. This process could have started 6 months ago, and if UBL did not answer, it would in effect prove the case. But it didn't happen. Why not?
Because the President knows that making UBL a martyr would serve to further inspire his minions, and he realizes that preventing this from happening is more important than his re-election. Instead, UBL remains forever silent even as his recruits yearn to hear his voice. Eventually these cultists will realize themselves that UBL went out like a punk, not a martyr and that the AQ head shed has been lying to them for years. That realization combined with US combat boots knocking their teeth down their throats will go a long way to beating this cult into submission. But it is important to recognize that the President's committment to killing terrorists supercedes his committment to his own re-election. I'm sure he hopes that the American people will come to this conclusion on their own and vote for him anyway, but it is quite a risk to take in the ultimate ME situation.
This kind of integrity and committment stands in stark contrast to his opponent. Kerry has proved to be a Blue Falcon, a traitor, a louse, a shameless opportunist, and an lazy bureaucrat that pads his resume. Kerry is a smart guy too, and he realizes what is going on. But it hasn't stopped him from trying to bait the President into abandoning a critical propaganda victory in the GWOT by incessantly peddling his Tora Bora "outsourcing" charge in all three debates. He knows that the President will not respond to this charge so he is free to make it. Just like the Cheney lesbian scheme, this is a coordinated hatchet job, but this is on an issue that Kerry knows the President must choose to either defend the SOF troops that got the job done or remain silent. To his personal credit he never took the bait, but to his professional detriment he must let an unanswered charge linger. Do you have that kind of discipline? Especially in crunchtime? I don't know if I do, and I'll be happy to never have to find out.
President Bush, meanwhile, has just continued to keep the pressure on the terrorists, get us out of a recession, protect the homeland, and generally put the country's interests ahead of his own. He deserves your vote.
Well, before we went into Afghanistan, UBL generated videos fairly often. Now there are only audios. That says something, IMO.
Nice dad. :^)
Most people in the know seem to hint that he is likely gone and decomposed, but there is no proof, one way or the other.
We can only hope that somewhere, someplace, a DNA sample might tell a story, but it is not likely.
If the worst happens and Kerry should actually happen to win, you'll never hear anything more from the so-called mainstream media about Bin Laden, he'll just sort of conveniently and gradually vanish into the memory hole. You heard it here first.
OK so I guess you have contacts too? If so, then do you think it will ever be let out to the public?
I bet that is what is going on, but he cannot say anything. This has got to be driving Bush nuts. Just imagine how Bush could smoke Kerry with all his "where is OBL, we outsourced our work, etc". I would love it. However, I know I am fantasizing.
Why should Bush take a position on this?
If Bush says OBL is dead and OBL shows up, it hurts Bush's credibility and helps OBL maintain cult status.
If OBL doesn't show up, a number of liberals will use the opportunity to declare the war on terror over, when it clearly is not.
If Bush doesn't take a position, liberals can't help themselves and will declare Bush is holding OBL for just prior to the election. This will only hurt liberals and help Bush.
hmm, i never heard of this video (maybe because i wasn't signed up to FR then)...
got a link?
ping.
BTTT
bump
This would explain his comments on why he's not worried about him. On the flip side it shows that Al Queda doesn't need him either, which is more frightening that these A-holes cannot be stopped no matter who gets killed in their leadership!
"There is no way that Osama could keep off TV if he was alive. It's too easy to produce a video now."
He may be dead, but it will never come to light. All the Bush administration needed to do was say Bin Laden is dead then on October 25th, he is shown on video being interviewed by Al Jazeer.
Best it be kept quiet.
He's Dead, Jim...
.
I hope so! Now Alzawri (sp)
No, but this was the first vid he did after Tora Bora. He is definitely not using his left arm, and looks, well, sick.
Al Qaeda middle managers have many opportunities for career advancement, courtesy of the United States government...
LOLOL!!! It IS !!
"President Bush, meanwhile, has just continued to keep the pressure on the terrorists, get us out of a recession, protect the homeland, and generally put the country's interests ahead of his own. He deserves your vote."
Amen ! he's got it....
