WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. intelligence agencies believe Osama bin Laden is isolated from al Qaeda and spending much of his energy merely surviving, the head of the CIA said on Thursday.

Lol, be glad I didn’t post it 6 times in a row!! heh

I tend to do that sometimes
Of cours you did. If you make a large nice graphic then you go and post it on every thread that it applies to. Otherwise it’s a waste.
And, I would go to each one and reply - for years.

the years dwindle down
A lot of good Americans sacrificed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sadly Saudi A, UAE, China and others just bought our election.
And don’t forget Chicago.
After numerous rounds of ‘We don’t even know if Osama is still alive’, Barrack Hussein Obama has now been telling everyone he will capture Osama Bin Laden when elected.” So, Osama himself decided to send Barrack Hussein Obama a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game. Obama opened the letter and it contained a single line of coded message:
370H-SSV-0773H
Obama was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Howard Dean. Dean and the DNC and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to Joe Biden. Joe Biden could not solve so it was sent to the FBI and the CIA. Eventually they asked John McCain and his Staff to look at it. And within minutes McCain’s Staff e-mailed Obama with this reply: ‘Tell Obama he’s holding the message upside down’.

and Syria. Both Syria, now sandwiched between the see, Israel, Turkey and American forces in Iraq, and Iran, sandwiched betwee our forces in Agfhanistan and Iraq, are largely incapacitated. When we withdraw... well, that's another matter.
Why not try it. Force his hand.
Ask why does Osama runs while he asks others to die? Compare Osama to Hussein. Show how Hussein's sons fighting and dieing, while Hussein ran and hid in a hile.
Ask why doesn't Osama want 72 virgins?
Ask if his plan was to blow up our buildings and then hide for seven years? Ask why is he himself is not standing and waging his jihad against us?
You know, a lot of times it’s not that easy keeping dialysis patients alive in the US, with the finest facilities and the best and most sanitary medical care in the world. I’m not seeing this working out too well in caves.
370H-SSV-0773H
Lol, the minute I read ‘coded message’ I could actually read those upside down letters instantly!
Thanks Meek.
NUKE IT , GIVE BUSH his do’s ...
See posts #143 & #152 - Regards -
hahaha! :^D
Me, too. :)
Yes, we were legally at war with Hussein. Yes, a cease-fire is only a cease-fire, not a peace treaty; and if one side violates the terms of the cease-fire, the other side may take military action.
Yes, Hussein broke the cease-fire by refusing to fully and completely cooperate with UN weapons inspectors. He broke the cease-fire by continuing to build missiles that had a greater range than he was allowed to have. Hussein never verified that he had destroyed all stocks of WMDs. These were a substantive breach of the terms of the cease-fire.
The UN Security Council unanimously agreed, in its November 2002 resolution, that Hussein was in “material breach” of the previous resolution that had created the cease-fire. It should be a no-brainer. Hussein violated the cease-fire. We were legally at war.
I agree that the war to remove Hussein was very successful, and eventually we did catch him. The Iraqi government, which is a true government “of the people, by the people and for the people” of Iraq, put him on trial and executed him. But al Qaida chose to extend that war. They poured in men, guns and money. And on our side, many mistakes were made. This is a continuation of the war against Hussein. It’s obvious that both Iraq and Iran recognized the Jidahi-prophesied capital of a future “Worldwide Caliphate” was to be in Baghdad. Iran wants to dominate not only Baghdad, but the entire region.
Terrorism is one of the weapons that both Iran and Iraq have employed to further their own dominance and influence in the region. Even if there is no proof of a pre-invasion alliance between Iraq and al Qaida, such an alliance was (in my opinion) almost inevitable. The enemy of Hussein’s enemy was his inevitable friend. This was a possibility that we faced in March 2003: a strategic alliance between al Qaida and the Hussein regime. Whether it was an existing fact or a future risk doesn’t really matter. What matters is that we couldn’t afford to allow it to continue to exist.
The war in Iraq has drained al Qaeda dry. It cost them a lot of men and weapons to sustain that war. This is a tremendous victory for America, for the Iraqi people, for our allies in the region, and for George W. Bush. But because it is a victory for George W. Bush, the news media make very little mention of it.
