Bin Laden branded `virtually impotent'
WASHINGTON - Seemingly taunting Osama bin Laden, President Bush's homeland security adviser said Sunday the fugitive al-Qaida leader is "virtually impotent" beyond his ability to hide away and spread anti-American propaganda.

====================
I'd say the administration has lost it again. It's not the fact that he has to hide, it's that he is a living martyr to many. He doesn't have to say a thing to get attention, his message has been loud and clear since he started.
The message, despite what most of us believe, its not to destroy the west, its to stop fugging with the middle east and propping up repressive regimes. Plus slowing down oil production and increasing the price so his people still have a life 100 years from now.
I think he has a point.
I don't like what he's doing, but then again, no one in the west is listening. Can you blame him?
Peace
Jim

America has painted Osama as an evil, ruthless man that only wants destruction, but he is none of those things, Osama gave a life of luxury to fight for what he believed in, many would not have done the same.

I thought Rush Limbaugh was impotent.
That's why he got busted with all that illegal Viagra when he was on that trip to the Dominican Republic to have sex with young boys.
The Bush administration can't keep their story straight about Osama. On the one hand, they say that Al Qaeda is stronger than ever since Bush let Osama go at Tora Bora and they had a chance to regroup in Pakistan without American interference.
On the other hand, when this new Osama that doesn't look anything like any of the other Osamas puts out a video, they say he's impotent.
One day Bush says he doesn't know or care where Osama is, and the next day he says that capturing Osama is priority one.
The bottom line is that you just can't trust the Bush administration. They will tell you many different lies at the same time if you are gullible enough to believe them.
He is just trying to keep his war in Iraq going so his buddies in the oil business can keep making record profits off of Americans.

Isn't that funny, ha ha. The last time they said that crud was the 18 months before 9\11. They repeated on all the major US news channels and programs, that all security was in place despite all these news programs showing the resolve of the enemy to bring war to our shores. Whatever, I am sure this lame duck Prez will be covered if we are attacked, and I will just make sure to pray that God will help me survive long enough to choke out Bin Laden myself.

He is so used to deceive ignorant people that when he speaks to "the west" he thinks we don't know history or we don't have already a religion, we don't know about the arab or the muslim kind of life and their "pacific countries".

Yeah and that was so cool! His organization, through world co-operation, has been isolated politically, financially, and in command/control so thoroughly that he has become nothing more then a comedian.
