Another bin Laden victory
The Washington Times ^ | 10-25-06 | Michael F. Scheuer

Posted on 10/25/2006 4:00:58 PM PDT by windchime

In a world where leading Western experts have consigned Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda to near-irrelevant status, the gangly Saudi is on the verge of seeing the forces he leads and inspires knock off their third infidel government. Not bad for a guy running from rock to rock and cave to cave.

The combination of Democratic rhetoric and the indelible fact of the Clinton administration's relentless refusal to try to kill bin Laden — preferring to protect its Arab, arms-buying buddies at the cost of American corpses — ensures that voters will receive what Clinton-era Democrats are best at giving: barely disguised pacifism that has and will continue to allow al-Qaeda and its allies to steadily destroy U.S. security.

Not bad for a dead guy.

Dead? Not Hardly. Rove has his stashed away and will run him out 2 days before the election.

Apparently, Scheuer doesn't think he's dead.

Yes, but he's been in the basement freezer.

Well now, I think both you and pissant are right. All of us know that Rove has had Osama frozen in his freezer, and that he will be thawed out for Nov. 5th.

Michael F. Scheuer, a 22-year veteran with the CIA, created and served as the chief of the agency's Osama bin Laden unit at the Counterterrorist Center.

Now that says something!

By the way, all our little jokes aside about the current room tempature of Osama, the article you linked was informative, and probably correct.

He's wrong about Iraq and Afghanistan... but the rest is interesting.

Both the Afghan and Iraqi projects, in the fuller distance of history, will have been wildly successful.

Although Scheuer was a Bush critic, he solidly backs up what President Bush said in his press conference today.

You might remember him from his book, Imperial Hubris, which was initially released with the author "anonymous".

Our enemies are domestic. The Treason Media and its evil twin, the Party of Treason. Can the American People be so hapless as to accept their obvious lies, deceit and folly?

Weekend at Bernies...ala Washington Times.

What's next, Katie Couric interviewing a decomposing bin Laden who's lips, oddly enough, don't move as he proclaims his victory over the evil Satan Bush?

Hey...no problem with dead jokes about Osama. That's the only funny thing about him (AND the ladies' dress and funky beard...and the way he wags his finger). Guess there's more than dead that's funny. ;)

I appreciate that. Scheuer certainly is familiar with the topic and I thought his strong comments would be useful in conveying the serious ramifications our election could have.

Unfortunately, some of them do.....let's just hope there are more of us who don't.

IF he's dead, the DBM would certainly not have any qualms about using the cadaver for that purpose.

NEVER FORGET



Aided by JOHN KERRY's TV Lies about what we American Soldiers were really doing on behalf of the Freedom of others during the Vietnam War,


...Senator TED KENNEDY fooled Congress into cutting off all U.S. Military & Medical $$$ support for a then still Free South Vietnam.

This at the very time now exposed KGB Files show that the Soviet Union gave Communist North Vietnam $6 million in Military Aid, translating into over 600 Soviet Tanks and 1,000's of mobile artillery pieces being sent to a final solution in the South.

Bringing in the end for all to sadly see:

This despite Sen. TED KENNEDY's being given an up close & personal tour of South Vietnam at the very beginning of the Vietnam War in October 1965:

More than five years after the attacks of 9-11, and the pledge by President Bush to kill or capture Osama bin Laden wherever he may hide, it seems our nation is plagued by presidents that cannot deliver justice. When President Bush has delivered up our number one enemy then, and only then can he be cited for achieving what President Clinton did not.

No more excuses. Kill or capture bin Laden! If the Democrats have gains in the midterm elections, and if bin Laden celebrates those gains, it will only be because President Bush did not live up to his post 9-11 pledge. If President Bush had, bin Laden would today be a corpse incapable of celebrating anything.
