Mitt: "It's not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions... just trying to catch one person."

[pnwmom]

Mitt Romney, 2007: “it’s not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person.”

Joe Biden: “We will follow the SOB to the gates of hell.”

Hope this comes up in the foreign policy debate.

5. Repukes are only interested in starting, and continuing wars . . .

it's all about the $$$. They don't give a damn about bringing war criminals to justice. Gitmo is evidence of that!

2. The major problem as I see it is, I doubt that Bin Laden had anything to do with 911.

Have no facts, but 911 is still a major mystery, as is the Bush/Cheney Administration with regards to this event.

[pnwmom]

19. Not a major problem for the 99%

who are not conspiracy kooks.

Bin Laden took full credit for it. That's good enough for most of us.

[teddy51]

23. You can't speak for the 99% cause you do not have that authority. As for conspiracy kooks,

lets just say that the 911 investigation is extremely incomplete. And no, Bin Laden did not take any credit for it, in fact.

[pnwmom]

28. Yes, he did take credit for it.

Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden appeared in a new message aired on an Arabic TV station Friday night, for the first time claiming direct responsibility for the 2001 attacks against the United States.

The militant Islamic group decided "we should destroy towers in America" because "we are a free people... and we want to regain the freedom of our nation," said bin Laden, dressed in yellow and white robes and videotaped against a plain brown background.

In the 18-minute message, parts of which were played on Qatar-based Al-Jazeera just four days before the American presidential election, bin Laden accused U.S. President George W. Bush of negligence on the day 19 suicide hijackers took over four American passenger jets.

He also threatened new attacks if the policies of the U.S. government do not change.

According to translators, bin Laden told American voters: "Your security is not in the hands of [Democratic presidential candidate John] Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands.
"Each state that does not meddle with our security has naturally guaranteed its own security."

30. "Sorry, we can't find the page you requested." On your link!

I will say again, bin laden has never taken credit for 911. My guess is he never will now, and he never was involved in the first place. There has never been a reality check on what really happened on 911!

32. Here's the link again.

3. That was before he thought he could make political points on Lybia.

Now he wants answers why Obama hasn't made those responsible for the attack on the consulate.

[2on2u]

4. I bet he'd move lawyers and henchmen to save Exxon Mobil from paying up for the damage

they have done in South America, I could see him trying to interfere with that, but then I do believe that money and powerful people are a tad more important to him than national security.

10. LOL

Our men and women wearing the uniform, my hats off to you all....

7. And.. "We will kill bin Laden" Senator Obama Oct 7, 2008

“What I have said is we're going encourage democracy in Pakistan, expand our non-military aid to Pakistan so that they have more of a stake in working with us, but insisting that they go after these militants. And if we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take them out, then I think that we have to act, and we will take them out. We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al-Qaida. That has to be our biggest national security priority.”

Thanks for the thread, pnwmom mitt is useless.

[Politicalboi]

8. I actually side with Rmoney on this

The search for Bin Laden was like Bill Murry going after the gopher in Caddyshack. But then, I don't believe Osama was responsible for 9/11. I go on facts, and all the facts aren't in yet. I actually believe we did the wrong thing killing Osama and Saddam. Kill them before they talk. It's what we do.

[ChiTownChavista]

11. :eek:

But then, I don't believe Osama was responsible for 9/11.

Pass me the j, bro.

[Skittles]

12. Romeny only said that because repukes COULDN'T catch him

it's got nothing to do with whether or not it was the right thing to do - that is NEVER a factor with republicans

[pnwmom]

21. The fact is that Bin Laden took full credit for 9/11. n/t

[Lucinda]

26. When? I saw him compliment them, but I never saw him take credit.

Is there video I missed?

[pnwmom]

27. Apparently you missed this.

[Buddaman]

[LeftInTX]

14. Kick this thread up

[AspenRose]

15. Funny, when I read that title I thought it was Mitt lying about the billions he's spending

trying to "catch" (or snatch) the WH from Obama.

[zbdent]

16. "Ladies and gentlemen ... WE GOT HIM!"

Who, Osama bin Laden?

Nope ... Saddam Hussein ...

WTF????

[JI7]

17. But he seems ok with spending Billions on War and having more Americans die and innocent

civilians in those countries.

i guess he profits more this way.

[reflection]

18. Oh it will. Count on it.

I'd bet the farm.

[GetTheRightVote]

20. I hope it comes up as well..

Way to go Joe!!!

[PoliticAverse]

22. Unless that person is Saddam Hussein ? n/t

[ncav53]

24. Please bring this up Obama.

[lumpy]

25. The only thing that is of importance to that SOB Romney is money.

I repeat, he is a SOB and a money-loving, grubbing, rackateering SOB.
