Quiet as it's kept, US military is OUT of Saudia Arabia...!

[morebunk]

Osama can truly say, "Mission accomplished" But notice how Iraq is the only focus of the media because they don't want to talk about the 'mission not accomplished.'

[arcane1]

1. pulling out the troops was Bush's payback to Osama

for giving him the extra police powers, and terrified obedient populace...

back-scratching like this goes back to the early days of the BFEE

[StClone]

5. Laugh until you realize

This can't be the way things work -- but as shitty and decietful as Bushkins are it wouldn't surprise this dimming optomist.

[arcane1]

9. well, the bin Ladens are Bush's business buddies

and poppy trained, funded, and armed the mujahideen for YEARS

if they aren't still working together, then why did they have a falling-out?

just like Saddam...

same story

[dutchdemocrat]

2. Osama WON

That's what he became a terrorist didn't he? He wanted the infidels out of the holy land.

[bahrbearian]

7. He has us on the run.

He'll search every cave and Bunker till he end's U.S. imperialism..

[Kitsune]

14. In a word, yes.

Also, he hated Saddam with a passion and wanted an Islamic state in Iraq.

Not only did he get everything he wanted, he made us do it for him.

[peabody71]

15. Was it the plan all along?

[dutchdemocrat]

3. Link?

Link?

[DUreader]

6. No link but it is old news google must have it

many sources, I would think

[bowens43]

4. Two of osamas primary objectives were

getting US troops out of Saudi and getting Saddam out of power in Iraq. Good work George!!

[leetrisck]

8. Are the Defense Contractors

out also - like Lockheed Martin, etc.

[lostnfound]

10. and Vinnell? I don't think so..

Vinnell's got an interesting history.

[revcarol]

19. Vinnell trains "police officers" to prop up unpopular regimes.

Who finances this? Probably jointly between the King's regime and the U. S. government. It was one of their buildings that was bombed in Saudi Ariabia in that kept-quiet bombing.

Osama also wants the royal family of Saudi Arabia out, because this royal family portrays itself as the guardian and protector of the real Islam, not quite Osama's variety.

(When I was a National Geographic scholar,I received a copy of the Koran as a gift from the King of Saudi Arabia. The English translation was also official because it was authorized by the King.) "See: my brand of Islam is the right one..."

11. Bin Laden Bush Connection

Everyone pick up your copy of Michael Moore's new book "Dude Where's my country?"

Chapter one talks about ties and favors between Bush family and Saudi Royal Family / Bin Laden family.

pg.6 "on and off business relationship for the past 25 years"

p. 19 "allow a private Saudi jet to fly around the US in the days after 9-11 to pick up members of the bin laden family and fly them out of the country without investigation by the FBI"

I wouldn't be suprised in the Saudi's said "If you go after Osama we will stop giving you oil" and Bush said "okay I'll attack Iraq instead".

[forgethell]

12. Frankly,

i think it is a GOOD thing that we left SA. They didn't want us, we didn't need them. Now, all we have to do is get them to release our citizens that they've kidnapped over the years.

[Nottingham]

13. I know OSAMA got what he want!

YEP!

WASHINGTON — Of all the mysteries surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the most mysterious may be the most basic: What did the terrorists hope to achieve?

/snip

But in writings and interviews over the last five years, Osama bin Laden -- the attack's suspected mastermind -- has laid out political goals that extend well beyond a primal rage at America. Indeed, those who have studied him most carefully agree that bin Laden seems as intent on toppling Arab regimes as weakening the United States -- though he clearly sees the two goals as interconnected.

[opihimoimoi]

17. Osama laughing all the way to the Cave.

[morebunk]

18. And life will never be the same in America...

Osama know or knew that we would be our own undoing. It's almost as though if drafted the Patriot Act.

[screaming_meme]

20. You guys sound like you're complaining

Dont you see how this helps us? A victory for Osama is a defeat for Bush!

[morebunk]

21. I'm not quite that synical...yet.

But the truth really hurts.
