Why hasn't Bush and Co. found Osama?

[Mich Otter]

Here we are, knowing full well that Osama Bin Ladin was behind the attacks on the World Trade Center more than three years ago and still the Bush administration has not found him. I cannot believe that the CIA, Israeli intelligence, and the Bin Ladin family, (who are personal friends with the Bushes), do not know Osama's whereabouts.
It looks like a deal was set years ago. If Osama would do the desperate Neo-Cons a favor, (attacking America), the Americans and Israelis would let him hide. In exchange Osama has gotten millions of dollars and martyrdom.

1. Why hasn't Bush and Co. found Osama?

DUH-bya said

Because he's hiding! Don't you listen? ;)

[Maestro]

2. They don't want to.

They need him to be the boogie man so they can continue to scare people into thinking that spending $300 billion in Iraq is worth it. Asswipes they are, really.

3. He's in the guest house at the ranch, doesn;t want to be disturbed!

They're just being polite hosts!

[whistle]

4. The CIA and military intelligence was behind the 9--11 attacks...

...Bin Laden was the patsy.

5. he needs to reappear again when Bush is close to impeachment.

6. He is more useful for the Neocons loose and alive.....

Far easier to scare the sheeple.

7. Maybe he is hiding the same place as Saddam's WMD,

:sarcasm:

8. Haven't you heard?

Bush just said he is doing everything to "find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way."

12. I was wondering when a reporter would say,

"Mr. President, why haven't we found Osama bin Laden if we have dismantled much of Al Qaeda," but then I remembered, how upset Bush gets when he has to answer a question not scripted:crazy:Guess they didn't want him to blow a gasket.

9. Because they're not trying to.

They don't give a flying fuck ('scuse the language).

10. They've known where he is all along...

but of course you are considered at best a crack pot conspiracy theorist if you try to question the issue in that way. What other possible explanation can there be for not finding him? I mean, they had no problem finding Saddam, and he was a ruler of a country, with all the resources that go with it. Hell, the man is on dialysis, for crissakes!!! You have to laugh about it or you'll cry. Or get mad...yeah that's better!

11. They'd have to find him dead

Otherwise, bin Laden will spill his guts about U.S.-funded exercises of his in the past.


Much like Saddam will never go on trial as he'll give up the ghost on the skeletons in the U.S. foreign policy closet.

13. Good ideas to put pressure on

Kerry couldn't with the deafening media silence when he raised the simple fact.

But some speculation. Osama has the singular sensitive talent of tweaking and playing the superpowers. He chose his refuge well after we bungled Afghanistan. Pakistan is imply a consuming problem with no economic or agenda benefits and might blow up into a war with India, etc.

The second is a reason, the first is why the reason rationalizes their total ignoring of the problem for greener pastures long lusted for. They will NOT be distracted.

So it is easier for the media to get thoughtful about Michael Jackson than the simplest speculation about Osama and his low priority in the Bushco "war on terror"- which is a 100% sham- something no big news outlet will bear even imagining.

This is what happens when people on the ground are knocking themselves out(maybe, they are pretty well silenced) and have no support on the upper level that is not twisted away from their mission. Same story everywhere in the focus of Bushco. Osama doesn't count. Neither do we.
But they would take DU out before bothering about Osama.

It would be another scandal if Osama was "on the team". But think. The fact that he might as well be is ENOUGH of a powerful point. Much more than enough. Where is Osama? Where are the American people?
