That’s why we would have to ask

Rush Limbaugh Arrested

Bark, Doggies, Bark!

Now, if only he was on the moon.

A decent question save for the uninformed snark at the end.

The answer to which is no. What you, mitter and factcheck and many Bush opponents do not take into consideration is that Bush really wants to catch Osama (hey, so does -I believe-every Democrat – well maybe our own Cynthia McKinney is questionable – but every other one) . Its a decent human thing to do, but even if you hate Bush, just consider that it would help him politically – enormously. The military is advising him on Osama and the hunt for him – every day. Don’t you think if the military had even a good idea of a way to get Osama, Bush would be after it like a duck on a june bug. Like any other politician. “I captured Osama!!!!” Instant national hero.
Now you may think we could divert resources from Iraq and then have enough to do it. Last known location was Pakistan – a sovereign nation who has been hunting him. Now lets just say we (unilaterally) say scr*w Pakistan and we are going to invade their country and find Osama. Take all the troops out of Iraq – say 150,000. Now roughly 2/3s of those are support troops and not actual ground pounders. Gives us a rounded 50,000 troops to cover Pakistan’s 300,000 plus square miles (think 2 Californias – in other words one soldier for 60 square miles) Think they can do that? Pakistan with an army of 700,000 hasn’t found him. And while you are blundering around in Pakistan, guess what ? Osama might just mosey over to … tada — Iraq and join his terrorist buddy Abu Abbas. Or go any other number of places.

If it could be done, it would have been done. Argue against Iraq on its own merits, not the false assertion that Iraq stands in the way of getting Osama.

duros: I’ll take that bet, and bet you double or nothing that it will be between MAR and SEP ’08.

“If he wants to impress his men, he should take a picture on a busy street patrolled by one of our brigades,” said Sgt. Norberto Carrasqauillo, 36, of Orange County. “I don’t think he would have the courage to face any army troop. He’s the type of guy who coerces other people into dying for his cause.”
Orale, Norberto!

And Duros, we have heard that prediction for the last three years….maybe THIS year you will be right on!

Oh Wait, there was the priority of a huge profit for Halliburton.

Once again, progressives are in the position of using terrorist propaganda as a weapon against our democratically elected presdient. Think about it. Terrorists release a statement and instantly its turnred around and used against the Pres by progressives.

Don’t strain yourself, Stretch.

“Using terrorist propaganda as a weapon against our…president”? How about “using the fact that these terrorists are still at large to point out that Mr. ‘Smoke-em-outta-their-holes-dead-or-alive’ has failed to deliver on his boasts”?

Or is any criticism of The Decider to be considered abetting the terrorists?

Of course Johnny Cochrane is dead. Think I didn’t know that? What better way to tug at the juries heart strings than… Never mind. One for you.

Hey mitter,

I don’t think the troops have been incompetent. Doubt you do. So do you think they are telling Bush of ways to get Osama and he’s just not doing it? Really, really believe that? He’d be a political power house if he captured Osama. Why, then, wouldn’t he do it? That stump you? OK. Exactly what executive decisions would you or one of your fictional books-cooked liberal TV president’s make that would guarantee the capture of Osama?? The world is waiting. I will personally vote for the Democrat who comes up with a plan that the military endorses that guarantees the capture of Osama. Now, the plan please.

Dugger, Starts Slowly Filing his Nails

You DO want to catch the terrorists, right?

Nice to see that you have no faith in the American justice system, Dugger. Way to embrace your inner fascist: “Summary executions for everyone!”

The questions of whether Bin Laden should get a trial or be shot on the spot, however, will have to wait until we actually catch the guy, right? The fact that we haven’t should reflect poorly on this administration. Are you telling me that you principled thnkers on the right wouldn’t hang a free bin laden around President Gore’s neck? Please. You’ve been blaming Clinton for 9-11 since the day it happened. Where does the buck stop now? Apparently nowhere since trying to hold President Bush accountable for anything is akin to loving terrorists and hating America. You guys are priceless.

Are you saying the terrorists don’t take heart from the living example of a man who killed three thousand Americans and created a national feeling of terror and insecurity in the US? Every time he speaks he thumbs his nose and says “I got away with it” and tells his supporters that his efforts can bear fruit.

Lastly, stop being an ass. Do you remember 9-11? Death destruction, flame, people plummeting off collapsing buildings, dead firemen, etc? I mean, right wingies have used 9-11 to justify pre-emptive war on flimsy evidence, torture, secret prisons, domestic wiretaps, the list goes on; but they don’t think the rest of us have a right to complain that the man responsible for those attacks is not a priority of the Bush Administration and still walks free. Get real.

“I want terrorists dead. Why don t conservatives? ”

You sure about that? Maybe you mean after the trial in court and if the jury finds them guilty (lets remember OJ is still free, out there hunting for Nicole’s killer, and he went before a jury). Annd after all, the number one progressive in the whole land has said:

” I’ve resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found. I will have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials.”

BTW, would you insist he be tried in a state with the death penalty? Would you be worried when Johnny Cochrane agrees to defend Osama and insists that to be tried by his peers, Islamic clerics. Maybe Democratic Rep Cynthia McKinney will be a character witness and explain the alternative theiry that Bush and the Oil Barons set peace-loving Osama up.

I want terrorists dead. Why don’t conservatives?

I have this dream of a Democrat getting elected and then coming to the military and saying “OK boys and girls, lets forget all that stuff in the past and all of us together go get those terrorists, but don’t shoot at them or damage their fragile psyches. ”

“You sure you want us Nazis to do that Mr Prez? Why not go round up that big army of progressives thats always criticizing us while we risk our lives and have them spill their blood. We’ll second guess them over a latte at Starbucks. Their’s a trillion of ‘em on the streets of Portland and Seattle panhandling and prosletyzing. A vertable ‘people;s army.’ Have at it.”
