This needs to be seen !!!!! GWB's own words about BinLaden
someone posted this link below and I feel it puts things into perspective and would be a nice comeback to ANY RW bullshit


"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

"I want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"
- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI

"...Secondly, he is not escaping us. This is a guy, who, three months ago, was in control of a county . Now he's maybe in control of a cave. He's on the run. Listen, a while ago I said to the American people, our objective is more than bin Laden. But one of the things for certain is we're going to get him running and keep him running, and bring him to justice. And that's what's happening. He's on the run, if he's running at all. So we don't know whether he's in cave with the door shut, or a cave with the door open -- we just don't know...."
- Bush, in remarks in a Press Availablity with the Press Travel Pool,
The Prairie Chapel Ranch, Crawford TX, 12/28/01, as reported on
official White House site

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)

7. Bush never mentioned Al Queda before 9-11
Wolfowitz mentioned Saddam hundreds of times and Osama few times before 9-11.

That tells you what was their target from election.

Pnac--Israelites almost totally.Israel and Oil.

5. I agree we need this stuff up front but how? I have tried.-See Waffle Hous
DNC-Spokesmen-Carville-Begala not response or use.
WAFFLES LIST
Rush Complains About No Advance Notice of Search Warrant

This is almost too funny. Rush Limbaugh is under criminal investigation for massive amounts of illegal heroin pills, and Rush is now screaming and complaining that criminal prosecutors and police did not give him advance notice of a search warrant.

Ha HA! So Rush thinks that the police should call up a suspected criminal and tell them 'hey, we are about to search you for illegal drugs tomorrow, just wanted to give you a heads up'.

I'm sure Bill Bennett finds this kind of behavior completely immoral and will be on every cable channel condemning major drug addicts who want special notice from criminal prosecutors.

Full story is HERE
