Where the hell is the Neo-Con OUTRAGE?

[Atticus]

Some of our fellow citizens should literally be beside themselves about the Senate report due out tomorrow. Requested by John Kerry, the report, among other things, confirms that Osama Bin Laden was absolutely within reach of US military forces at Tora Bora when the Bush administration withdrew to prepare for a push into Iraq. Only 100 Special Forces personnel were left in place and Bin Laden and his supporters simply walked away into a trackless area of neighboring Pakistan.

This must rank as one of the most bone-headed, half-assed, totally unsupportable decisions ever made by a US Commander in Chief.

So where is the spittle-flecked, eye-bulging, table pounding OUTRAGE from all the war hawks? You know, the ones who were all for anything and everything that Dim Son wanted to do in the Middle East, so long as it involved lots of death and carnage and gee-whiz weapons systems with snappy names like "shock and awe". Where are these red, white and blue "raghead killin' sons o'bitches" now that their hero is shown to be what we knew him to be all along: a hopelessly incompetent man-child too stupid to realize how he was being manipulated?

Last question: Do you think they'd be a little more upset if a Democrat had let Bin Laden escape due to sheer incompetence?

1. They'll spin their attacks to focus on Kerry.

G U A R A N T E E D.

3. Or blame Clinton

I've already seen that on another board. It went around a lot after 9/11. Clinton had bin Laden in the cross hairs serveral times blah, blah, blah.

2. Saw a very small report burried in the San Diego Union Tribune...

About 1 inch long.

Hell, I doubt the Neocons look that deep in the paper. If they do read it the word "witchunt" will appear in their defense.

4. The Dick and his daughter Liz Cheney have been out in force

Since Obama was inaugurated. So not all the cowards are silent.

5. Are you kidding? You probably won't hear a peep from them. Don't

forget, they were cheerleaders.

[SmileyRose]

6. It had nothing to do with incompetence

capturing bin Laden would have meant a quick end to the war. America would have it's bad guy and that would be the end of it.

No Iraq war, no gazillions in taxpayer money to the Bush family and friends, no American access to Iraqi oil fields.

7. Here's their response...

8. 1000 radio stations determine what outrage makes it into the mainstream

and what the acceptable outrages are

[gateley]

9. Yep. nt

[glitch]

10. "a hopelessly incompetent man-child too stupid to realize he's being manipulated"

Strange how all his incompetence nets his family and friends billions.

Let's keep the deniability plausible shall we?

[Atticus]

11. His family and friends were among his most effective manipulators. nt

[old mark]

12. I have seen this blamed on the Democrats in congress, although

what they even had to do with it I have no idea.

It's a Bush fuckup, pure and simple, and the RWers just totally ignore that or blame the wrong people.

You are giving them too much credit it you expect logical thinking from them, or much thinking at all.

13. K & R

[Kablooie]

14. Bush said himself that Bin Laden wasn't that important.

Which I'm sure had nothing to do with the fact that his family and the Bin Ladens had been buddies for years.

[Bitwit1234]

15. Oh heck yeah. Remember how they blamed Clinton because

his administration had not caught bin laden. They blamed him because, when they bombed bin laden's camp, he wasn't there. Of course the CIA gave the military the position of bin laden and Clinton had to get permission to bomb. So by the time congress approved the bombing raid bin laden had gone bye bye. Then when the CIA gave another position, congress denied Clinton approval to bomb. So who was the scape goat when bush's incompetence let those planes take down the Twin Towers, why Clinton, of course, it was his fault because Clinton did get him in the first bombing raid. They messed them selves purporting that theory after the attack. It was all Clinton's fault, Clinton let it happen blah blah blah. I bet you don't hear one damn republican admit it was bush's fault about anything.
