A bunch of dopers (no short-term -- or long-term -- memory) running this abortion they call an administration?
Sep 9th, 2007 | WASHINGTON -- Osama bin Laden is "virtually impotent" and does not appear to be triggering a new attack against the United States despite the release of a videotape with his first message in a year, President Bush's homeland security adviser said Sunday.
"This is about the best he can do," Frances Fragos Townsend said about the fugitive al-Qaida leader whose terrorist network is believed to be regrouping in the lawless Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.
"This is a man on a run, from a cave, who's virtually impotent other than these tapes," she said.
Townsend spoke in broadcast interviews two days before the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks that bin Laden masterminded.
*************************OK, wait, this is a guy who has out-thought and out-maneuvered these American bozos on every front.
So BEN LADEN is the new Vietnam, i.e., declare him "impotent" and declare victory.
If I were in uniform and had a C-in-C who kept taunting the enemy that's killing our guys every day, I'd have to consider the propriety as to which direction our guns were pointing.
But I'm not in uniform, and from what I hear, I don't have to put that idea in the mind of any one of those who wear the uniform and sweat and die for this band of vermin.
More than ever this confirms my suspicion that the whole idea was to NEVER capture Ben Laden, thereby creating a never-ending threat. Because if we caught him, our lust for revenge would be satisfied, and that wouldn't pay the rent at Halliburton's new Dubai HQ.
Every word they say (from Bush on up), every action they take, is either (to be kind) the result of moronic insanity, OR, to be more likely, the active tactics of treason against America for the oligarchy that wants total control.
If there had been any doubt about that, I would have to say the quote in Mr. Goldsmith's book, that "we're one bomb away from fulfilling our goal' -- meaning one attack by someone we call Al Quaedea in order for the Bush-leaguers to have absolute authority --
Ein Homeland, Ein Ruling Class, Ein Fuehrer
We'd have to change the venue to some place like Uruguay, but it would still be the right thing to to do --- they love their yee-hah absolutes so much, the only resolution is this:
Try 'em for treason.
And -- once they're found guilty
after a fair trial in Guantanamo ---
hang 'em high.
