Posted on 01/26/2010 11:11:44 AM PST by ColdOne

A tape of Osama bin Laden claiming responsibility for the Dec. 25 attempted terrorist attack is proof that the Al Qaeda leader is too weak to give orders himself, President Barack Obama said in an interview with Diane Sawyer on Monday.

“Al Qaeda, itself, is greatly weakened from where it was back in 2000,” Obama

“Al Qaeda, itself, is greatly weakened from where it was back in 2000,”

Not due to anything he has done.

Would Bin Laden have been too weak IF THE BOMB HAD GONE OFF?

Similar to Obama, Osama just isn’t getting his message out effectively.

Sounds like a belittling challenge to Bin Laden to prove he can still do something. Almost reminds me of “Bring it on.” Might be a good tactic, if it leads Bin Laden to pop his head up. On the other hand, if he were to strike forcefully, Obama’s taunt would be blamed.

Just another thing you "inherited" from Bush, eh, Bambi?

Wait a minute, I believe it was in 2006 when Obama was bashing the Bush Administration, he said Al Qaeda was as strong as it ever was before 9/11. I don’t get this guy. One day he says one thing, the next he says another.

“Obama’s taunt would be blamed”

I highly doubt that.

2000? Gee, I wonder why Obama chose that year instead of, oh say, ... 2001?

Because he is a megalomaniacal, petty little son-of-a-Hillary who cannot stand to give his predecessor credit for anything, ever.

My thoughts exactly. He’s daring Osama to do something big by challenging him as a weakling. Of course, who better to recognize a weakling than the Obummer.

It all depends on which teleprompter he is reading. The left one or the right one. That way he still has an excuse after the “It’s all Bush’s fault” wears out!

Never seen a dead man cause so much trouble, I’m talking about Osama not the brain dead. The talking point memo must be crammed in the back the desk draw by now.

Most of the time since 2000 consisted of the Bush admin. Is 0bama finaally admitting that the Great Satan Bush actually accomplished something?
