Did Shrub II get his daddy's money back from Bin Laden yet?

Question

How about Saddam? Reagan and Shrub I paid money to Saddam and Bin Laden and now Bush wants to kill Bin Laden and has killed Saddam. I wonder if Bin Laden attacked our country with money given to him by the Shrubs and Raygun.

Boy, I sure wouldn't want to be friends with either of the Shrubs!!

Yalerower, I have a right to my opinion and the fact that I do care enough about my country to actually be educated about the issues makes me more patriotic than brain-dead, heartless cons like you.

here ya go Mel T.

Did you support Raygun too? Did you support Raygun giving money to terrorists that threw acid in women's faces? Please. You Rethugs support misery, hate and war. You're also the reason why everyone hates America anymore.

Answer 1

No, he just stole it out of the US Treasury instead.

Answer 2

You are indeed a TRUE PATRIOT. Only a true patriot can speak the truth without fear or favor. Please consider this quote by someone who has been there and done that....

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

Answer 3

Kind of like a Frankenstien's monster, the offspring of ill guided principles and greed, bad politics and myopic perspective.
But Bin Laden seems to still be free, while we are mired down in Mr Bush's war. I doubt if Shrub jr has any friends these days.

I note the knee-jerk jingoistic so-called patriots who flock to pile criticism on your posting. Most of these folks have not or can not see Bush has led the GOP over a cliff, since his is too stubborn to admit he has made a mistake. It may be a long, long, very long time before they win another election and all the efforts of Reagan and Bush 41 are going to unravel if the GOP can't ditch Bush and Cheney. These are interesting times.

But back to Bin Laden. Bin who ?

Answer 4

who's to assert that the U. S. needs him useless? Alive and in hiding is only about extra perfect. He should be careful the position he is going and be fearful about someone desiring that 25 million. through no longer killing him and thwarting his strikes we truly come out ahead in a lot of strategies. If lets make his strikes fail it sends the message to others that even the total Sheik Bin weighted down can no longer defeat the U. S. and that is easily worth extremely plenty, noticeably interior the eyes of an Arab. AS for no bid contracts presented to KBR i'd like to understand the call of the different corporation able to doing the artwork they do. I worked in Iraq for KBR and trust me the troops are happy to have the help. each and every activity that is carried out through a civilian frees a soldier to strive against.

Answer 5

If you are such a "true patriot" why is it you attack our nation and president? Don't you think that there is enough Bush bashing going on? OK I get it you don't like Bush, but why would you write something like this? Bush Sr. gave aid to Saddam and to Bin Laden because at the time it was the right thing to do. Read up on your history. Do you think that they were just giving out money for the hell of it? Have you ever seen Rambo III and what the Afgani's went through? Even though I'm right I'll bet I get negative feedback or even deleted.

Answer 6

Hey, you know, if they don't make good on their loan, you've got to put a hit on 'em. Just because you're President doesn't mean you can't be a gangsta as well.

Course, I think bin Laden is long gone with the dough...

Answer 7

Our troops are fighting insurgents armed with weapons that Ronald Regan traded to Iran for the hostages. There has been allot of under the table business with Regan and both Bush's.

Answer 8

Bush never wanted to kill Bin Laden the guy's family has the Bush's bought and paid for. You don't kill your meal ticket.

Answer 9

You have a right to your opinion, but not to misrepresent facts. What money was given to Osama Bin Ladin? Is there any evidence outside of conspiracy theories that he was even given money while fighting in Afghanistan. Most reliable sources (including European ones) say, "no". In fact he used his own money to fund the mujahideen in Afghanistan, he did not receive anything from the US CIA.

You might want to read your link. It does not state that Reagan gave money to Osama Bin Ladin. It only states that money was given to the Afghani resistance to the Soviet occupation known as the mujahideen. (your opinion source biasly fails to mention the Soviets). Osama Bin Ladin left Saudi and supported the fight against the Soviets as well. No money was given directly to him, to be used over a decade later to fund terrorist attacks. As a matter of fact, he gave his own money to the cause.

I was to young to vote when Reagan was President.

Answer 10

Did you know your pal Gore was at a forum in Saudi Arabia last year hosted by ,The Bin Laden Group? Well,what's going on? Shouldn't he be avoiding them ?
