Bush dismisses al-Qaeda warning

[DoYouEverWonder]

5 August, 2005

US President George W Bush has brushed aside demands from Osama Bin Laden's deputy that the US leave Iraq, saying the US would "complete the job" there.

Ayman al-Zawahri warned that there would be further violence unless the US and its allies withdrew from Iraq.

His comments were made in a videotape broadcast on the Arab satellite television network al-Jazeera.

Mr Bush dismissed Zawahri's ideology as "dark, dim and backwards" and said Iraqis wanted to live in freedom.

Why do I have this feeling of deja vu?

[Booster]

1. Uh oh. He's ignoring warnings and he's on vacation. Now I'm

really concerned.

[grytpype]

27. ... yep... we're gonna get attacked again, aren't we?

I'm gettin the hell out of NYC pronto...

[Raiden]

34. Fool me once... shame on... you

Fool me twice... fool me... you kaan't get fooled uhgin

[Captain Hilts]

2. Bring 'em on! (nt)

[rodeodance]

3. well, he and condi et al----did brush him off in Aug of 2001 also

.....Why do I have this feeling of deja vu?

[DemInDistress]

10. good point rodeo...

the chimp blew off many 911 warnings and allowed osama to kill thousands,then the chimp denied any prior knowledge of those warnings....Deja vu, hell yes...My bet is the Bush Crime Family cant wait until America's is attacked again,hell he has Executive Orders signed,he only needs a "National Emergency" to call Martial Law...wanna bet a beer we get attacked again before the Bush-Rove-Cheney-Libby-Rice-Bolton-Millier-Cooper and Nofacs "Indictments"hit the press

[thecrow]

36. You mean as in 9-11 when the TRUE Fla.Gore vs. Bush vote count

was about to be announced?

[SmokingJacket]

4. I feel like we're being set up.

Hope I'm wrong.

[wli]

8. it's because we are

I really hope honest people foil the upcoming MIHOP's.

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. At least this time

more of us are paying attention and we have a better understanding of what these bastards are capable of.

[wli]

5. here comes the MIHOP

This is so badly staged it's ridiculous. The Emmanuel Goldstein act is really eerie, too.

They're trying to smear liberals as al Qaeda sympathizers by scripting typical liberal critiques of his agenda for al-Zawahiri to say.

[bemildred]

6. Yeah, heck, what could they really do to us?

[CelticWinter]

7. Ignoring warnings

on vacation....isnt this a repeat of Aug 01?

[Marthe48]

11. uh-oh DUCK!!!

(from an old attack poster: put your head between your knees and
Kiss your ass goodbye)

Bush is a turd with legs

[CHIMO]

12. Just In Time

Delivery. Just when questions about the name of the war and sand castles tumbling all around, guess what. The enemy rears its ugly head to get things back on tract.
Any question anymore about what al-Qaeda needs and how they are able to continue than this. Just think back before the 2004 election. They had another release at that time.

[despairing optimist]

13. "Aw, it's just another historical memo. Nothing to worry about."

Dark, Dim, and Backwards. Aren't they in Bush's Cabinet?

[DesEtoiles]

14. It's Deja Vu all over again!

[DesEtoiles]

15. Now Goddamnit! Without flight and seat #s, what's he supposed to do!!!

[DesEtoiles]

16. What will be this year's reading? The Very Hungry Caterpillar?

[warrens]

17. Bring em on, fuckwad

I want this guy hanged in public. He is murdering people for nothing. Iraq is going to devolve into civil war because this punk couldn't pass PoliSci 101 and had to get credit for cheerleading to graduate. This is the worst possible president, and I include Coolidge and Grant in that group. He is the worst ever, by a long shot.

[Caleb]

18. The last time he took a month off in August...

[Straight Shooter]

19. "dark, dim and backwards"

Kind of like what's between bush's ears.

[vogonjiltz]

20. He must be clearing brush.

[Stevious]

21. Deadly Attacks Put New Pressure on Bush

:kick:

[Amonester]

25. This is nuts:

Even so, Bush faces a real dilemma, said Cordesman, now with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "The president's legacy, if he fails in Iraq, historically is an absolute disaster. President Bush and the Bush administration can scarcely ignore that problem."

"If you pull out troops too quickly now, and you see the situation in Iraq collapse before the midterm elections, the impact is going to be far more serious than if you keep the troops in at reasonable levels," Cordesman said.

So what he's saying is that's why troops are being "sacrificed" ??? The Congressional elections?? Tell it to their families & friends!!

It's so crazy! It seems to be true... Not surprised. :cry:

[kestrel91316]

22. Hey, at least the cretin didn't say "Bring it on!"

[TheCentepedeShoes]

28. Cmdr. Cookoobananas

will save that for his Sat. radio address.

[Cha]

23. I thought this was

coming up the anniversary when the chimp "dismissed" the al qaeda warning in the August 6th memo.

What fresh hell does rove/cheney/monkey boy have in store for us?

[VegasWolf]

24. Just like he dismissed the report, "Al Quaida determined to attack US,"

back before 9/11.

[Old and In the Way]

26. Don't forget AUgust 6th...............

Bush will probably have a CIA/NSC debriefing that he'll ignore.

[leftchick]

32. and that is ...

my birthday too. :hide:

[blue northern]

29. The only thing transparent about *'s administration

Is the obvious propaganda/bullshit.

[ogradda]

30. Hhhmm...

"Here we go again" keeps running through my mind........

[The_Casual_Observer]

31. So, what does bush say when that that bastard launches

another cleaver little attack? Salute the motherfucking red white & blue?

bush is the most useless piece of shit in the world.

[leftchick]

33. "dark, dim and backwards" God, the irony....

It is truly stunning.

[ekwhite]

35. Wasn't he captured?

My nephew showed me a news story dating back to April 2004 in which the US government announced they had captured al-Zawahri, and now we have an announcement from him. Am I missing something here?

[thecrow]

37. Dontcha know?

that was filmed at Gitmo.
Al-Zawahhri got a couple extra cookies with his lemon chicken and a shower for appearing in that film.
It was either that or eat bacon for a month.

[Vickers]

38. Holy shit, I have several flights next week

:(
