liberation of Iraq. Slam dunk, smoking gun mushroom clouds, weapons of mass destruction, Saddam a threat to us and the world, terrorist connections to al Qaeda. How can the Bush administration have so much solid intelligence but not know where Bin Laden is?

It is painfully obvious they had no solid intelligence, and much they knew was not factual, such as the forged letter regarding Africa! And later Wilson's report, which upset them so much they leaked Valerie Plames (Wilson's wife) name, a CIA agent!
Even the Hans Blix report to the UN said Saddam had none. Of course we will never know the full report as the US had 8,000 pages redacted from the report!
Bush is too busy going after Americans personal Internet habits than bin Laden.

Because they never really wanted to find Bin Laden. They knew that if they did the American public would stop being so afraid. They needed us to be afraid so they could "convince" us of the necessity to invade Iraq. Since we were so afraid, they knew we wouldn't be thinking logically and would accept whatever "intelligence" they put in front of us.
While I am not at all convinced that the administration knew of 9/11 in advance, they have certainly manipulated the event to do what they came into office wanting to do: invade Iraq. 9/11 provided the "Pearl Harbor" they needed to get the American people behind a pre-emptive strike in Iraq. I have included a link to the Project for a New American Century document entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses"--this document was written before the 2000 election and shows clearly that the "Neo-Cons" wanted to invade Iraq. And who helped write the document? Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Pearl.
So, you see, if they ever catch Bin Laden, the American public will be forced to ask, "Oh, yeah...why did we invade Iraq?" It is all so Machiavellian, but those in our society for whom critical thinking is an evil concept that could lead people to doubt what the powers that be want us to believe have bought the whole charade hook, line, and sinker...and are still being reeled in.

Cuz Osama was not in Iraq. Was no argument that he was there. He was either in the mountains of Afghanistan, or, more likely, the mountains of Pakistan. Iraq has NOTHING to do with Bin Laden. Never did until we toppled Saddam. If we were gunning for Bin Laden, we would have stayed in Afghanistan or declared semi-war with Pakistan.

In actuality the Bush administration had very faulty intelligence on trying to justify the invasion of a country while still occupying it 4 years later. They made a pre-emptive strike against a country which posed no threat to us whatsoever.
But I do agree, how in the world can they not find bin Laden? I really believe it is because they don't want to.

i presumed he picked out particular intelligence on the time, yet not any extra. i develop into questioning irrationally in a positioned up 9-11 international. I might want to've regular extra efficient than to believe him. I remember back contained in the 2000 election, and the debates most popular as a lot as that election that "intelligence" and "Bush" are 2 words that should not be used interior the same sentence. i do not comprehend why I relied on him with reference to Iraq.

Ok. Now try inhaling.
We need Bin Laden. Plain and simple he's worth more to us loose and collecting/recruiting new terrorists. The people he'll gather are a known type. His mo is easy.
Why do you think, the stink about having him in the cross hairs and missing? Bin laden's credibility.
You can breath now.

Well, the fact that every bit of the "solid intelligence" turned out to be wrong, self-deception, and/or outright lies, that should give you a clue.
Besides, it's pretty obvious Bush doesn't care about catching bin Ladin--or fighting the terrorists. Or we wouldn't be in Iraq in the first place.

That's easy.. The Bush family never gained anything from Sadam like they have Bin Laden. Bin laden had ties with the Bush family.

Perhaps the Bush Administration has something to hide.
When this so-called war against terror comes to an end, I hope we see George W. Bush and his administration making full use of Camp X-Ray as permanent guests.
Those folks deserve a full dose of what they tried to make the rest of us drink from.

Because Bin Laden is dead,
he lives on in film clips.
