How long before Republicans join forces with Osama Bin Laden?

It's bound to happen. It's in their blood. The enemy of their enemy always, eventually, becomes their friend. And for Republicans, the more dangerous, the better!

Just look at Saddam Hussein. Sure he's "One of the greatest threats to America" now. But it wasn't that long ago when the very people running our government, our republican government, who claim to despise him so much, had no problem making deals with him:


And then there's Colonel Muammar Qaddafi "a man President Reagan dubbed “the mad dog of the Middle East”—a regime that, throughout the nineteen-eighties, sponsored such groups as the I.R.A., the Abu Nidal Organization, and the Basque ETA, and was blamed for the explosion that, in 1988, downed Pan Am Flight 103, over Lockerbie, Scotland—is now an acknowledged ally in America’s war on terror."

Qaddafi is now in bed with the U.S.? The Mad Dog of the Middle East? Who would stand for this?

Republican Congressman Curt Weldon would. Here he is placing a medal on Muammar Qaddafi.


Republicans like nothing better than playing musical chairs with some of the more dangerous individuals of the Middle East. It make be a year from now, or a decade but if Osama says the magic word, republican leaders will come running. Not for his head, though. But a handshake. Hey, they might even give him a medal!

1. Pretty sure the Bushes and the Bin Ladens joined forces 3 decades ago.

Bush has been working on delivering the services of the rest of the Republican party for the last 6yrs. Those RW preachers don't come cheap.

2. I was about to say.

I always thought that was the reason their Christmas card list was classified.

6. I had no idea that they even classified their Christmas card list.

Not that's interesting!

9. Well, I hope I'm remembering correctly.

My mind has been just a trifle off today. Forgot to put the coins in the washing machine, stuff like that.

But they pretty much classified everything.

4. Hell, didn't they "create" him to fight the Russians?

7. Osama is on Bush's payroll

at least part of the missing money goes to support AQ

8. I wish everybody could see this,

The GOP raving about fascists is like Herseys raving about people eating too many sweets.
