Progressives weakly ask, why hasn’t Bush “captured” Osama bin Laden?

Question

As most intelligent & well informed people know, OBL (may a million sand fleas infest his crotch and his arms be too short to scratch them) is a small fish in a big pond who will be replaced within hours by another Muslim hell bent on killing Americans (military or not) and destroying the West in general.

Furthermore, this cry to capture OBL is nothing more than a cry for revenge and not for a tactical advantage (other than for info acquired through conventional persuasive measures) and revenge for any reason leads straight down that road to evil.

Therefore, is not the cry of those who claim that President Bush has not captured him nothing more than a weak attempt at attacking and discrediting President Bush?

notyourdaddyposeur - did you even read anything I wrote? wow... there you go, don't read just attack.

Unfrozen Caveman - WTF are you talking about? Molested a 6 year old? Are you referring to Mohammad? If so, you really need to go educate yourself before you try to trade words with me you uneducated dolt.

g - These are my own thoughts, there is no proof. If you are incapable of engaging in intelligent dialog then why do any of you bother?


Oh… I see. It is an opportunity for some of you to attack like the hateful rabid hyenas you are.

Bert T - You had me for a second... I thought you were headed for some good analysis and dialog but then PPHHHHBBTTTTT, diarrhea of the mouth engages and the true Lefty in you came out. Good luck with that.

Answer 1

I'd like to see OBL captured. But unlike many of the Liberals, I do not see this as mutually exclusive from the war in Iraq or the war on terror in general.

They hate this President and will not accept his reasoning on anything. But watch them defend Hillary's flip flops and Obama's irrational remarks about a pin.

And to the people who think we should have continued in Afghanistan, it might serve you to remember that there was Congressional consensus for the Iraq invasion. The consensus isn't there with Afghanistan.

Answer 2

The question regarding OBL's capture has more to do with Bush's persecution of this war than actually capturing OBL. The people responsible for the 9/11 attacks were based in Afghanistan and that is obviously why we attacked Afghanistan. After an excellent beginning and nearly wiping out the enemy, Bush withdrew most of our forces and gave the enemy a chance to regroup and connect with allies in Pakistan. At the time Bush withdrew our forces, the expected time remaining to defeat all enemy forces was about a year, current projections estimate it will take another 10 years. The question about OBL is actually a question of why didn't Bush complete the primary mission of defeating those responsible for 9/11 before opening another front. If Bush had kept his focus on the original front, it could have been stabilized and held with a much smaller force after only one more year, instead of the current long-term timeline to accomplish the same thing.

Answer 3

It's not just a matter of revenge. It was Osama bin Laden, not Saddam Hussein, who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, which were the ostensible reason for the so-called "War on Terror". For some reason, though, within 5 hours after the attacks Rumsfeld ordered his staff to dig up as much "evidence" as possible linking Iraq to the attacks. It's as plain as day that they wanted to go to Iraq all along, and they merely saw 9/11 as their excuse. They claimed that they knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that there were WMDs in Iraq, but just a few weeks before the 2004 elections, Bush and Cheney FINALLY admitted that no WMDs had been found. Meanwhile, the global terrorist situation has been exacerbated, because the war has become a cause celebre among the Islamic fundamentalists, and as a result, a whole new generation of terrorists is being bred.

Answer 4

Hey Shipmate,

It will not suit the needs of a liberal to give the President credit for anything. They mumble about OBL yet they shrink away when the FACT that their Messiah, Bill Clinton, was offered OBL, without a fight, probably already handcuffed and turned the offer down because he was concerned about OBL's rights.

To be a liberal allows you to choose which facts you like and to make up or change others to suit your needs.

I HOPE OBL is alive and well in a cave somewhere. He is in a very small part of the world if he is alive and we can get him when it would be to our advantage to do so.

Whenever you rattle the chains of these liberals they come at you from every direction. Its unbelievable to see what has become of this country.

Answer 5

Why didn't we hold the Bin Laden family some of whom were in Washington having a business meeting with Bush Senior the morning of Sept. 11th 2001? Why were the FBI and CIA not allowed to speak with the Bin Laden's before they were secretly flown out of the country? These are indisputable facts and questions that must be answered.

Answer 6

I have two points of view.
1. Bin Laden has been holed-up and is more or less a nonthreatening factor.
2. By not capturing him it leaves more trails for soldiers and investigators to follow by capturing everyone connected with him.

To the "ab-users" claiming republicans don't have any 'facts' to go by... By the looks of some of your zany counter-parts and your constant drooling over stupid and utterly unsupported questions, statements and accusations, I find it F-ing FUNNY that you GLOWINGLY use such a 'standard' and 'juvenile' double-standard while talking and drooling out of both sides of your mouth.

Answer 7

Wow, you sure blow out a lot of crap attempting to put down "progressives". Fact is when Osama bin Laden is captured or killed will deal a huge morale blow to recruiting efforts and a rallying point for al Qaeda.

Bush is a failure and the American people know it.

Answer 8

Progressives weakly ask ............. LOL.

This coming from the same people who claim that it was Clinton's fault that he didn't get Osama Bin Laden, sure when it is their time to put up or shut up than Osama is just a small fish in the pond.

I guess that President Bush was being an Idiot, when he said that he will get Bin Laden dead or alive. Furthermore he redefines his limitless stupidity each time he releases those Bin Laden tapes to scare Americans.

Each time a conservative mentions 9/11 and then makes excuses of not trying to kill the man who claimed responsibility for that day, it shows how Conservatives and Republicans betray us on a daily basis.

Answer 9

OBL is being hidden in some of the roughest area of the world and being protected.

Remember Rudolph was in a smaller area and no one was helping hide and Clinton couldn't find him until he came out for food.


Liberals can grasp the idea that this 9/11 was not all about OBL it was about all the Muslim terrorism that has been going on and we done nothing.

Now we have president who has the guts to take the fight to them.

Answer 10

Revenge? But you supported the killing of Saddam and that was exactly a revenge killing.

Using your retarded logic: Why go after any of these terrorists leaders if someone is just going to "replaced within hours"?

It's very obvious what you're doing, you're defending the president because you know that if you admit the president is wrong in this case then you'll be forced to acknowledge his failure at almost everything. Your blind faith is what is destroying this country.
