Why did Bush do exactly what Bin Laden wanted him to do?

Question

Continually trying to scare the b'jeesus out of the american public, alienating the US from the UN and the rest of the world, and creating more terrorist recruits by killing innocent Iraqis and forcing western morals on them. Have I left anything out?

Bush - terrorist appeaser since 9/11.

Answer 1

Lets look at how much Bush has helped Osama bin Laden

Ignored Clintons and Bergers warnings about Al-Qaida and bin Laden, scheduling NO anti terrorism meetings the first 10 months in office;
Defunded the FBIs anti terrorism unit and ignored intel reports of Al-Qaida members learning to fly airliners in the US;
Was so concerned about the terrorist threat LOOMING under Clinton's watch he spent almost half of his first 10 months as President on vacation in Texas, even ignoring the fact the FIRST terrorist attack on the WTC was actually planned under his FATHER'S watch, occurring only 39 days into Clinton's first Presidency;
Allowed members of the bin Laden family and their guests to leave on commercial and private airplanes, when there was an FAA ban on flights in the US, without them being questioned by the FBI for any info they might have had regarding Osama and the attacks on 9/11- Even if they had NO info, is it too much to ask that they go on record about it?;
Although 15 of the 19 hijackers, most of Al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden himself are all Saudi Arabian, the US State Dept prevented families of the victims of Sept 11 from filing civil lawsuits against the Saudi relatives of the hijackers;
Bush said repeatedly (every night, over and over, ad nauseam) how he wanted bin Laden "dead or alive" and how he was "gonna smoke him out of his hole". Where is Osama bin Laden, Mr President? Why isnt he in custody? Have his Saudi relatives asked you not to bother their poor boy? Or would Bush have to invade Saudi Arabia to get Osama at this point? It's obvious he's no longer in Afghanistan;
Allowed incredible corruption with a mulit billion dollar "No Bid" contract for a political crony, while doing nothing to find the man behind the Sept 11 Attacks;
By imperialistically invading a sovereign nation without UN or world support was nothing but a huge recruiting poster for Al-Qaida. But of course, you can't have an expensive "War on Terror" without Terrorists, can you?
Not to MENTION the fact we invaded Iraq to remove the ONE man in the region who had NO ties to Sept 9/11 (no hijackers were Iraqi, no funding came from Iraq): Saddam was a bad guy to be sure, and he had no problem attacking US citizens in his neighborhood, but he had stomach to attack the US after the humiliation he suffered during his stupid invasion of Kuwait). Bin Laden was quoted several times as saying the only thing he hated more than the US was Saddam Hussein, for claiming to be Muslim but taking Iraq in a secular direction (according to bin Laden). Saddam would not allow Al-Qaida to train in his country, now could they hide out there.

So you have to ask yourself, why would we remove the ONE guy who hated Osama bin Laden more than WE did?

The Republican led Congress blocked Clinton legislation aimed at tightening airport security (pre 9/11)
The Republican led Congress blocked Clinton legislation which would require the addition of TAGENTS (a way to identify where explosives are manufactured, like a chemical signature) to US made explosives, due to pressure from the NRA;

Answer 2

This is a propaganda battle as visualised by means of George Orwell in his e-book 1984. The factor is that govt is of no end result if it does now not have direct manage over humans. Therefore the worst Prime Minster you'll have is an awareness looking for manage freak, that is what Blair is. That is why there are such a large amount of new regulations and laws and legislation seeing that hes been in than at some other time within the historical past of the human race. And despite the fact that that sounds a long way fetched, I do like to mention matters like that in order that humans are amazed that anything up to now fetched may also be so correct once they get to compare it correctly.

Answer 3

Clinton and Bush Sr. were smart enough to not invade Iraq. This current regime run by Bush is arrogant and thoughtless. I disagree that he did exactly what Bin Laden wanted him to do, I don't think Bin Laden saw this in his wildest dreams. BTW Bin Laden is not the central figure without whom Al Queda would not exist. That guy has probably been rotting in the ground for a while, but yet Al Queda still exist. Please stop listening to what the politicians have to say and use your own judgment.

Answer 4

Tens of Thousands of terrorists are dead because of This appeaser. You hate The Republican party , therefore you hate Bush. If Clinton had kept Bin Laden detained when he had the chance 911 would never have happened. And there would be no war on terror . There is a threat .It would be irresponsible to say otherwise. Radical Islam wants Americans dead.Mostly because of the Liberal ideals. Everything you stand for they hate. Thumbs down only mean you are angry that i have a valid point.

Answer 5

I love questions like this. Gives me a chance to vent. :)

You are one of those people who criticise everything, but never offer any solution yourself. It's like the joke about the guy who, upon seeing an old man walking to work, says "Why can't these old people just move out of the way and let the new generation have a chance?"

Then the same guy sees some old people just relaxing and chatting, to which he remarks "These old people are just a drain on society. Why can't they do something productive?"

Read the link to Stephen Colbert's comments in the link below regarding cynicism.

Let me explain something to you: if you knew the extent of the terrorist attempts against the U.S., you wouldn't sleep at night. For every story (discreetly covered in a non-sensationalist way by the press) about a terrorist plot we foiled, there are probably ten we will never hear about. The terrorists tried to blow up the largest building on the West Coast. They also had their eyes on the Sears Tower in Chicago. Have you ever heard Bush try to capitalize on this? NO!!! Your assertion is ridiculous. In fact, you would accuse him of incompetence if we had a big attack again and he wasn't warning us.

The UN should be on their hands and knees in abject gratitude to us. Members of the Security Council, such as France and Russia, kept refusing to proceed with military action against Iraq even though their SEVENTEEN stern resolutions against Iraq called for the use of military force if Iraq did not comply. Do you know why????? Just read any article on the Oil For Food Scandal. These members of the UN were getting millions of dollars in bribes from Saddam, so that's why they didn't honor their resolutions.

The United States of America, one of the only countries on earth with any resolve, had to honor the UN's Charter, or the UN would become IRRELEVANT. If the UN never backs up their word, then they might as well stop talking.

Do you undertsand this?

Don't use that tired, old reason that what the U.S. does causes new terrorists to sign up. Do you not own a calendar? 9-11 happened BEFORE we finally took action. (prior to this, we didn't respond to the other terrorist actions against us, which only emboldened them! .... example: WTC bombing #1, the USS Cole, the bombing of our Embassies, Kobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, etc.) Terrorists only need a pretext, and they'll always be able to come up with them.... they are dealing with very ignorant people who they can brainwash into believing anything, so there is an inexhaustable supply of new terrorists.

How are we forcing Western morals on the Iraqis? They drafted their own Constitution. They enact their own laws. They have their own judicial system. Believe me, we're not happy with many of the provisions in their government, such as the importance given to Islam, but WE DON'T WRITE THEIR LAWS. They do! Don't you understand that?

By the way, it was Bin Laden who did what Bush wanted him to do: Bin Laden issued a warning against the U.S. right before the elections, telling us NOT to elect Bush. What a dumb a**

Answer 6

Howz about kicking out the only secular leader in the entire Arab nation. Regardless of what he may have done, Saddam was against Bin Laden's goal of orming a Muslim Caliphate simply because in order to do so, he would have to surrender his power.

Bush's removal of Hussein only played into Bin Laden's hands.

Answer 7

since when has the un done anything for america?it is dominated by anti/us countries that have no intention of helping us.do you really believe if we stop going after terrorists they will leave us alone?if so/you are truly a fool.and 9/11 was planned by bin laden under clintons watch.

Answer 8

I think you have your facts wrong. CLINTON had Bin Laden in custody but pardoned him and released him. This was prior to 9-11 of course.

I would do some more research.

Answer 9

Don;t forget blowing a hole in the budget as well

Answer 10

Terrorist appeaser? OMG. Put down the bong.
