Why did Bush get our hopes up by saying we will "hunt down those responsible", then say Osama isn't important?

Question

President Bush turned Osama Bin Laden into Osama Bin Forgotten. He completely forgot why we entered the "War on Terror".
Nevermind Clinton since Bin Laden would have only been extradited to Saudi Arabia (if even found), Bush clearly let Bin Laden go in Tora Bora. He needed a scapegoat to continue into Iraq. All planned from the start.
Look at this Fox News video clip: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/14/barnes-osama/

Answer 1

havent you figured it out by now that BUSH should not be the one running our country and he doesent have all his buiscuits in the oven?

Answer 2

If we, and the corpotate world, had left the Mumlums alone none of this would have happened. We bow to the will of Isreal and the Religious Right and we get deeper into trouble. We need to learn to get along with other countries, although many no longer trust us. Iraq should have been left alone, using the resourses to catch Bin Laden. Most Muslum countries would have supported this. By attacking Iraq we lost their trust and led them to feel we are trying to irradicate Islam. When all these people realize god is a MYTH things will improve.

Answer 3

You forget that to enlist the help of Pakistan, they insisted on finding bin laden in the region. Mustarif did not want American troops on Pakistanian soil especially in the north where bin laden had sympathizers. The fact is, bin laden organization has been desimated, if he is alive he's moving from cave to cave. It is estimated that at least 10,000 al queda have been caught or killed.

Answer 4

for the same reason that hes maintaining this war on an imaginary enemy, even after 3100+ army deaths, 25000+ casualties. It was his intention all along.

Currently there are ties showing that hes funding terrorist efforts linked to al queda, because they oppose Iran.

Yet another alliance with al queda and organizations that will hurt us in the future JUST to propel his own agenda against Iran.

And Republicans know this -- and republicans are impeding democrat efforts to change this situation.
Next election -- I hope everyone knows that it wasnt just Bush doing this for 6 years, but it was republicans supporting his every effort for 8 years.

Answer 5

Your hopes maybe not mine, as I already new that he ws just a figurehead for the terrorist! The ones responsible have been delt with and Osma isn't that important, I'm glad we are directing our efforts elsewhere! Who wants to look for a deadman?

Answer 6

Its just that Osama is one bad apple..there is a whole orchard of them to be picked

Answer 7

A dead man is never important any more. Wanna test that?

Answer 8

He was lying the first time.
