Another flip flop on bin Laden???
First Bush wanted bin Laden dead or alive. Then Bush claimed he never thought much about him. Then Bush set up an FBI exclusively to find bin Laden. Then last year the office was closed . Today, according to NPR news, this office is being reopened. Another two years of this totally politically motivated and incompetant administration.

Senate Approves $63 Billion More for War in Iraq

Published: September 8, 2006

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (AP) — The Senate agreed Thursday to spend an additional $63 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as it passed a bill to finance military spending.

The measure was approved 98 to 0 after senators added money to help track down Osama bin Laden and to fight the opium trade in Afghanistan, which is helping the Taliban’s resurgence. The overwhelming support came despite Democrats’ increasing criticism of the Bush administration’s handling of the war in Iraq.

The bill now totals $469.7 billion. It grew more than $16 billion during a debate that began in July and was suspended during lawmakers’ four-week August recess.

6. I want to know where in the FUCK is bin Laden???
This piece of shit gets to address us on video (when it is most convenient for Bush) whenever he damn well feels like it. I blame Bush 100% for not capturing this mass murdering asshole. I really think that Bush is in collusion with him. I also think our CIA or some black ops division of our CIA is probably harboring bin Laden and providing him acess to video equipment. As long as he helps Bush by making a tape, he is well cared for. I find this entire situation intolerable.

8. Hedging their bets already that they can't find him; FAUX and wanna-bes.
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 09:43 AM by blondeatlast
Yesterday I saw it on FAUX and Scarborough--the emerging TP is that "Osama doesn't really matter anymore." *Because he has so many operatives out there--we political wonks can take that to it's logical conclusion, but they are betting that most Americans won't...*

The administration isn't saying it, their lapdogs in the RW media are taking the ball and running with it.

So they don't find OBL, but it shouldn't affect the R candidates in November 'cause OBL no longer matters.

See how brilliant that is?
