Osama Clock Update
1,753 - Number of days it's been since George W. Bush promised he would catch Osama Bin Laden.

1,365 - number of days it took the U.S. days to defeat the nation of Japan after Pearl Harbor was attacked.

Oh, wait. I forgot. It doesn't matter, because...

U.S. NOT REALLY AFTER BIN LADEN ANYMORE

Remember when Bush promised to bring in bin Laden, old-west style - y'know, dead or alive? And then he went and invaded Iraq instead? He's also not really looking for bin Laden anymore, and he didn't bother to tell us:
The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants, intelligence officials confirmed Monday.

The unit, known as Alec Station, was disbanded late last year and its analysts reassigned within the C.I.A. Counterterrorist Center, the officials said.

3. It's either a big deception, or they honestly can find him.
Either way, it makes jr look like a no-good bastard doesn't it?

7. Old guys like Powell shouldn't go into the altitude without.
exercising caution. That's what happened to him. You have to aclimatize before you start flitting around like a gadfly high up. Clinton should be wary too. He's got a delicate heart as well.

6. Unless Osama managed to get a kidney transplant in
Edited on Sat Jul-08-06 12:51 PM by Cleita
Afghanistan or Pakistan, he's dead. Even with dialysis, your estimated time on earth when you have end stage renal disease is five years unless you get a transplant.

I believe the Bushlers know Osama is dead but find it convenient to trot his threats out every now and then. I find it very suspicious that all they show on the videos are old footage.

Arab experts have said on PBS that the language is not how Osama would express himself and that the dialect is Egyptian not Saudi. Even if the CIA verifies that it's Osama, haven't they lied to us before to back the Bushlers?

This is why they closed down the Osama investigation unit. They know where he is, whether it's his grave site or in a morgue somewhere on ice until the right time to "kill" him presents itself.
