“When he [Bin Laden] says he’s going to hurt the American people again or try to, he means it. I take it seriously and the people of NSA take it seriously and most of the American people take it seriously as well”

3.13.02

“I truly am not that concerned about him [Bin Laden].”

    Bush said, “When I take action I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.”

    …BILLIONS of dollars later: no WMD, Al-Qaeda playing in Iraq, Taliban resurgent in Afghanistan, thousands of new enemies while killing a half-dozen…

    The whole possé chopping at the branches but missing the roots.

    It has never been more apparent that Bush only cares about Bin Laden when it benefits him politically.

    The last audio tape came about at a very fortunate time for Bush. Now he gets to play cowboy again, right before the SOTU. Funny that.

    Fuming Mucker is right . . . when Bush fails, he does it in unprecedented fashion.

    Did George Orwell create dubya in a laboratory before he died?

    I never understood why more questions weren’t raised about the highly fortuitous appearance of an OBL tape on the Friday right before the 2004 Presidential election.

    Gee, Kos, Atrios and OW. “Three of these are just like each other>”

    Let me help. The first remarks were in a 2002 press conference wherein Bush was addressing the OBL, the individual. The second is obviously referring to a threat of terrorism that would be carried about under the OBL organizational umbrella. So, gang, apples and oranges, plus four years apart. I know this explanation won’t matter to those who believe Bush had warning of 9-11 and did nothing, or to those who believe the White House is behind the OBL tapes, but for you others, thats the way it is.

    Good Day!

    Yes of course Dugger. And Bush always refers to broad organizational umbrellas as “he.” Just a little Texas quirk all us elitists wouldn’t understand.

    It was also interesting how about 4 hours after the latest OBL tape was released, the CIA verified its authenticity. Yet, after other tepe releases, it has taken them days to do the voice printing. How could they be so sure so quickly? Did they get a new laptop?

    British Dental Assoc. — that’s a joke, right?
