"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."

Mostly because if we captured of killed bin Laden, the American peopel might stop beign so easy to scare.

a huge "IF"...yet while she is, she'll probably do an analogous element Bush is doing. She'll depart him on my own, lest she risk inflicting the downfall of the extra reasonable Pakistani government. Had Pakistan no longer chosen to be our best pal returned in September 2001, then Bin encumbered could have already been killed or captured by ability of now...and doubtless in an excellent greater massacre than what's in Iraq superb now.

Osama is the perfect enemy...some even believe (the press for truth org etc) - (and have evidence) osama has carried out these sort of red flag operations (in kosovo and elsewhere) for the us goverment and cia before...and his disappearance and letting him slip out the back door into pakistan from afghanistan...was evidence that he was employed by the us government too carry out 9/11...
I don't know but it's funny how much sense it all
makes..when you think about this for a wee while.
Only this morning you would be accused of being a conspiracy nut or paranoid...for thinking the Iraq war was about oil...and yet one of the most powerful men in america (greenspan) has just admitted as much..

I agree we need to put more effort on finding OBL, of course we should have taken him in the late 1990s when he was offered but that doesnt mean we shouldn't be taking care of business in Iraq. I bet if the left actually showed some support and the terrorists saw that we were united against them and that our soldiers were given the power to wipe them out that we could be out of their by now.

there are no corporate contracts involved in pursuing bin laden.
the war in iraq is PURELY about corporate contracts, and has nothing to do with 9/11, american security or the broader war on terror.
never have so many suffered to benefit so few...

No, he was just driven by his desire for historically lasting glory. That is what happens when you combine ignorance + arrogance + political power.

It wasn't back then. He was hiding and his base of operations had been destroyed. And if you think that he is now in control of Al Qaeda now, I suggest you actually start looking closely at the latest terrorist attacks worldwide and get back to me.

I think anti-war people have beat this dead horse enough. Are we to assume that all of a sudden the Left would stay the course with a war they voted for?
No one is ignoring OBL. We just aren't waging war on every nation he might be hiding in.
