Bush Orders One Last Push To Get Bin Laden

• June 16, 2008

Clearly, Bush wants to go out with a bang.

President George W Bush has enlisted British special forces in a final attempt to capture Osama Bin Laden before he leaves the White House.
Defence and intelligence sources in Washington and London confirmed that a renewed hunt was on for the leader of the September 11 attacks. “If he [Bush] can say he has killed Saddam Hussein and captured Bin Laden, he can claim to have left the world a safer place,” said a US intelligence source.

I hope we get him, and not just because it’d be nice to see that madman either confirmed dead (I think he’s already dead) or in custody, but also because I think it would help exonerate the Bush administration’s foreign policy which so richly deserves it.
In history, perception is more important than reality. The reality is that throughout its term in office the Bush administration has disrupted global terror networks, liberated two formerly repressed nations in the middle east and set the stage for an increased US presence in the middle east that has been, and continues to be, a major threat to the rest of the world. The perception permeated by the partisan media is that Bush invaded Iraq on false pretenses and has utterly failed to accomplish anything of consequences there.
If Osama ends up in custody, or confirmed dead, it will go a long way toward replacing perception with reality.

Sparkie, you ignorant slut! The term originated with former lefties(mostly Jews) who were long-term liberals who saw the light and come over to conservatism.
“Neo” = “new”. Get it?

The problem is that if he is indeed stepping up the search for OBL, this implies that he was not dedicated all the resources that he could to doing it for the last 7 years.

That does not bother me though. Reality is there will be a dozen new Bin Ladens to take his place. What is important is to systematically destroy the safe havens where these folks operate, to kill them openly when they take up weapons, to use law enforcement and intel to prevent their terror attacks on the west, and to completely dismantle their funding structure so as to limit their ability to conduct operations. In all those respects, we have succeeded as is evidenced by the lack of attacks. It is not like they are not trying to have another embassy bombing, USS Cole, or 9-11. They just are not succeeding and that is the goal.

Bin Laden is a symbolic gesture. If Bush gets him, that might validate something, but the reality is the validation occurs every single day that we are free from an attack and every time we thwart one.

FOREIGN CAMPAIGN DONATIONS ARE HIGH TREASON
Any crooked governmental official, such as Podhoretz Neo-Con Bush, who accepts a political campaign donation from a foreign power is categorically guilty of treason; and justly deserves the capital punishment, if the donation illegally causes the loss of American lives.

Jeugenen,

Neither Mr. John Podhoretz, nor his father, has ever been an elected official, nor has either campaigned for public office.

As for Mr. Bush, I recall no intimation from even his most shrill and emotionally disturbed leftwing critics that he has accepted foreign campaign contributions… unlike his immediate predecessor, Mr. Clinton, whose 1996 reelection campaign was all but bankrolled by the Chinese communists’ People’s Liberation Army.

If you have any evidence that authoritatively suggests that Mr. Bush has accepted foreign campaign contributions, why not share it with the rest of us?

watashiwa – The world will always remember George’s wild west mentality that killed a lot of people but led nowhere.

Yeah, but look at the rest of the world.

Consider the source.

I disagree; in politics, perception is more important than reality, but history is all about outcomes.

…wild west mentality…

You mean the mentality of defending the town, women, children and families from the bad guys? I’ll take that every time, especially compared to the coward, liar, appeaser and rapist who preceded him; the guy who allowed the terrorists free reign for eight years, and even ran away from them in Somalia.

This is bullshit grandstanding; OBL is no longer an active part of international terrorism, and we are wasting our resources in focusing on him. Capturing or killing him won’t make a bit of difference in the war on terrorism; Iran is the real problem right now. This is distraction to pander to the lefties.

I agree with robert108. However, I disagree that Bush is pandering to the left. George just wants to go out with some kind of legacy. Just like his too little, too late push for peace in the middle east. No other country in the world would expend the resources we did to capture one man. The world will always remember George’s wild west mentality that killed a lot of people but led nowhere.

A legacy of pandering to the Dems’ totally wrong obsession with OBL? Like I said, when he tries to go left, he just appears stupid. A real conservative would be smarter than that.
Turning Iraq from Saddam’s killing field into a functioning democracy is an historical accomplishment.
Too bad you lefties don’t appreciate “free people making free choices”.

Bat: Don’t be fooled; that guy is simply repeating the litany of Jew-hate. Anyone who supports Israel is targeted for it, as well. “Neocon” is a term of Jew-hatred.
BTW, “jugend” is German for “youth”. You do the math.

What’s OBL doing in the White House?
… and why do we need British help, don’t we have enough of our own people to secure the White House?

(lame, I know, but it’s the first thing that came to mind)

Oh shoot! I just found out Bin Laden works for the CIA. No wonder Bin Laden’s came through for Bush so many times in the past!

You mean IF we can get him THEN it might deserve it.

oh, i’m calling bullshit!

“Neocon” is a term of Jew-hatred.

bullshit!

Gonzo, MLP is a 9/11 truther and all-around Ron Paul nut. The attacks were all Bush’s fault. Osama was just doing Bush’s bidding.

If you’d cover your head in tin foil like he does you’d grasp these facts.
