"On Sunday, Bush's homeland security adviser Frances Fragos Townsend sought to play down bin Laden's importance — and added a taunt, saying he was "virtually impotent."

But terrorism experts say al-Qaida's core leadership is regrouping in the lawless Pakistan-Afghanistan border region. The latest National Intelligence Estimate says the network is growing in strength, intensifying its efforts to put operatives in the United States and plot new attacks. "

bush's homeland security adviser is a security risk! Osama virtually impotent? This lady needs to resign!

Answer 1

Does that mean she is in bed with him?

HAHA I could not resist.

Answer 2

Whether the taunt was in reference to binLaden's significance in the 'terrorist' movement, or an innuendo as to his sexual prowess, it was still an irresponsible thing to say. Either flout implied a weakness, which binLaden (if he's as unstable as the Bushites claim) might be prone to respond to - with another 'terrorist' attack.
On the other hand, it may have simply been another example of the Bush administration's juvenile, infantile incompetence.

P.S. Does anyone else find this latest string of 'coincidences' a little difficult to fathom?? Patraeus testifies to Congress on 9-11; binLaden releases a video on 9-11; Townsend mocks binLaden just prior to 9-11. All this only escalates the 'war', helps to instill more fear in the U.S. citizenry, and creates more support for Bush's intention to 'stay the course'.

Pay attention to what Patreaus WON'T say:
Unless he wants to see his military career go up in flames, he won't mention the number-one non-military 'benchmark' that requires Iraq's Parliament to pass a low allowing two-thirds of Iraq's oil fields to be owned by foreign 'big oil' corporations.**

I've said all along - ever since the first day Bush illegally, unconstitutionally, unjustifiably and immorally attacked Iraq: this 'war' is - and always has been - about OIL and WAR PROFITEERING. Nothing else. There was never any intent to bring democracy to Iraq. There is never any intent on leaving Iraq until we've sucked every drop of OIL from its sands. If that's not the case, WHY are we building the largest U.S. embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad overlooking the modest headquarters of the 'new' Iraqi government installed by the Bush administration? If we expect to leave Iraq anytime soon, WHY are we paying Halliburton billions of dollars to build fourteen (yes - 14!) new permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq? The Bush administration lied to Congress, hoodwinked the American people, and conned U.S. troops into believing there was honorable purpose for this 'war', when - in fact - 3,800 U.S. soldiers have given their lives so that a handful of wealthy elitists, industrialists and power brokers can become wealthier and more powerful. -RKO- 09/11/07

Answer 3

More of the same, actually. One more of Bush's appointments showing their true ability. Wouldn't it be something if we actually had some leadership in this country? However,on the bright side think of it this way: This nation is so strong it successfully survived 6 1/2 years of another Bush administration. If we can do that, the Osamas of this world will have minor effect on the USA. So, Osama, if your reading this take that into your nearest cave and think on it while you color your beard!!!

Answer 4

Nope. I consider men and women over-react to matters an excessive amount of. Like how men and women are complaining that the LGBT discussion board is beside the Seniors & People With Disabilities boards... It's like.. recover from your self and quit dramatizing the whole thing. I get wherein you are coming from nonetheless I see the rainbow as openness. It has many colours which might be lovely in combination. I see it as bonding... no longer unicorns and such.

Answer 5

Te moment saw this quote, I understood it for what it was. More work on the part of the administration to explain why they have ceased even trying to bring him to justice. If they now say he's impotent and thus irrelevant, why bother hunting him down?

Answer 6

I don't know what the original text was but this morning on MSNBC she clarified the statement saying that terrorism was the real threat not OBL . . . It was odd, she was being interviewed by a conservative (Joe Scarborough) and was still incredibly defensive. She may be good at her job but she's horrible at p.r.

Answer 7

As of today, Osama is still on the loose. Give her a little bit of credit for, forgive me, having the balls to maybe incite some contempt in Osama and maybe draw him out of hiding. Mark my words, greed will be his ultimate downfall.

Answer 8

i do believe she is very wrong. He is still very important and still commands his followers even though now they also act independently, however: when Bush mentions terrorist or the war on terror, he is accused of fear mongering and using it to do his evil practices of destroying everyone's freedom...now he is accused of not doing his job...seems that Bush Bashing is the name of the game.

Answer 9

It's amazing to me how many cons here don't want the USA to bring the biggest mass murderer in the history of the USA to justice.

And they don't want to, because they think they're being loyal to bush...forgetting that they should be loyal instead to the Country.

Answer 10

There is a bunch who need to resign

Answer 11

You need to gain some perspective and learn what is intended for consumption by the American public..and what is intended for consumption by the islamic people of the world.
