Bush to Explain a Bin Laden Terror Plot

Hmmm. Isn’t this the same guy who said that Saddam had WMD’s? Isn’t this the same guy who stepped out onto the aircraft carrier and said mission accomplished? Isn’t this the same guy who’s lackies twisted intel to support the his reasons for going to war? Hey everyone, WAKE UP! We have an idiot in the White House and a bunch of sheep following him. Reminescent of a guy in Germany from WWII? Folks it’s time to call your congressman and tell them you are mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore.

Hi Virginia Hale,
So you are one of the Bush Dead Enders. But, come on, do you have to stick your head so deep in the sand? Or you just watch Fox for your news?
Its so easy to just bomb away all the countries we don’t like isn’t it?

Look, the left hand is doing something….no, look quick.
So easily fooled.

Be afraid, be very afraid! Only the Republicans can save you. Democrats are evil; e-v-i-l! BOOOOOO!!!
Will somebody please make the scary Republicans go away? PLEASE?!!!

I only wish that the Coast Guard academy will walk out during the speech to show Bush how sick we are of his lies. Those lies are getting our young men and women KILLED. I wish he’d go away, just please go away Bush.

Our presence in Iraq is only helping to preserve the instability that allows Al-Qaeda to function in Iraq. We are just delaying the inevitable as long as we remain there. Once we leave, there will be serious sectarian conflicts, with the Shiites most likely taking control. Shiites in control means no Sunni Al-Qaeda. The best way to defeat Al-Qaeda in Iraq is to leave. I think Bush and Cheney know this, but would rather have the next president take the blame for “defeat”. Also, Al-Qaeda already has a nice base in parts of Pakistan that we can do nothing about, unless we wish to destabilize a country with nuclear arms.

HELLO GEORGE, IS ANYBODY HOME ??? Of cousre there may be a connection now, MORON. We were concerned with BEFORE the bogus invasion !

Oh, I guess NOW I’m supposed to believe the Intel about Iraq! But I’m not supposed to beleive it when they can’t find WMD? And wasn’t this the same guy who throws a temper tantrum when everybody else but HIM leaks classified information – especially for political purposes. And wait a minute, isn’t this the same guy that said the war in Iraq WASN’T creating a new terrorist training program? And didn’t President Cheney say they were in their last throes? Bush is a Dead End.

Bush has spent trillions of your dollars and tens of thousands of American dead and maimed to create a terrorist playground in Iraq. Why did it take Bin Laden so long to come to Bush’s horribly distorted game?

Will the major news organizations wake up and please report that there wasn’t any AlQueda in Iraq before Bush invaded? The US in Irag and Bush foreign policy have fueled the growth of terrorism not abated it.

Wake up people…the fact is more people die from murder in the 50 states each day than die in Iraq “at war”. We need to concentrate on our interior much more, but the news media wants to harp on problems oversees versus the ones right here in front of each and every US citizen living domestically. We need to make it safe for the citizens at home. It is so easy to jump on Bush and his administration, but how about do something about it instead of bitch and complain. Volunteer at your local homeless shelter, red cross, fire department, SOMEWHERE, instead of riding around in your too big SUV and carrying the kids to soccer and stopping by Target and McDonalds. Wake up. We are the sheep. And loud sheep still get sheared.

ilerlily i hear you loud and clear, but being in Iraq and doing their dirty work for them is not the correct play here. The current Iraqi leaders are just sitting back and letting our boys (and girls) die over there while they are not stepping up to the plate like a “real” country who wants their freedom. IN the Revolutionary War who lost more lives? Was it the Americans who wanted to be free of oppression from Britain or the French who saved our butts? Not that we can compare here. We are not helping Iraq because it will eliminate a terrorist threat, or because its the right thing to do. We are doing it because Daddy said so and thats the way it has to be!

Same old same old never changes his tactics I guess he figures we will never figure him out.

It amazes me after 911 why anyone would want to shy away from terrorism. We need to go wherever terrorism is and defeat them! There is no question whether or not we can defeat them, we can, its a fact. America’s job becomes more difficult when we have to watch out for innocent lives.
It is very easy for most people to criticize the president but he is doing his duty by protecting this country. If we want to go into protective mode and wait for the terrorist to come in and kill thousands then thats fine we can, but then you guys would be criticizing that hes not doing enough to protect us.
We will get our revenge once we get a democrat in office and see how bad things get screwed up.

Do you TRULY think that terrorism can be stopped?? It’s just like our ‘war on drugs’ that we haven’t even come CLOSE to winning! It’s evasive. It lives in the hearts of men and women. We have to continue to educate, and preach political answers, not the force of all out war. The poison of radical religious people need to be bred out of humanity.

Unfortunately this administration has lost credibility with its claims of “reports”. No one believes Bush or his cronies anymore. He needs to resign. WAKE UP!

I pity the fool that believes anything this administration says anymore.

I’m so confused that who is right and who is rong. God bless America.

Don’t blame Bush. As long as we have blind patriotism Bush and Cheney will reap the benefits at huge cost to the nation. How did Saddam become from a friend (of President Reagan) to an Enemy. Go back to eighties, remember 8 year Iran – Iraq war? We gave Saddam the weapons to attack the evil Iran and UK (Margaret Thatcher) gave WMD’s to kill his own people (Kurds in 1988). How was OK then and not now when he has nothing. I have watched numerous times the President say Saddam has no connection to Al Qeada, no connection to 911 and not building nuclear weapons. We groomed him for benefit and we took him out when we are done using him. Please Mr. President don’t bring in the false intelligence. Saddam was a rogue, thug and a criminal all his life but we rewarded him with Apache helocpters (which he used gas his own people). Patriotism without researching what your government does secretly is fatal to the country.

It is so easy to be an armchair critic. We have always had them and always will. If the people who are so critical of the way things are would make an attempt to do something about it instead of just mouthing off, perhaps this situation would be taken care of. Note likely.

From an objective standpoint, it doesn’t really matter what Bush says anymore because the majority of the American people no longer trust him, regardless if he is telling the truth or telling lies. When you enter war, you tell the people that it will be a difficult and costly war. Never be optimistic about a military engagement because that will set you up for failure every time. I’m sure the Iranian government “appreciates” us very much for handing them the whole region on a silver platter.

He has no credibility. He has taken no accountability for any decision made by himself, his office, or those he has appointed (he still has ultimate accountability for that, just like any CEO). While this information may, in fact, be credible, the boy has simply cried “wolf” too many times. From color-coded, poorly organized general fear hysteria to WMDs to Brownie to Gonzalez. From Iraq to New Orleans. Believe him at your own peril, at this point. He has not proven himself trustworthy by action or word.

To ALL Republicans and Democrats.
GW has finally getting done what what he had promised to do in the 2000 elections. Be a uniter.
He is slowly getting us all united against that nut case in the White House.

So many lies from this Administration it’s hard to decipher what the truth is anymore. I can only believe that all this Administration feeds us are lies and half truths. What credibility does this Administration actually have anymore? Only 28% actually care what this President has to say. Pretty bad numbers for a career politician. Hope the 28% listen to him otherwise he should be giving his speech in a box…at least that way he can listen to himself. For the record I’m a moderate Independent voter and would be saying the same thing regardless of party affiliation.

Unbelievable that what was once the greatest country on earth is led by this moronic liar. How can his approval rating even reach 28% ? Bush should be charged with crimes against humanity in the Hague.

Well…when the next terror attack occurs (and it will occur)and it happens to be your friends or family that is affected – then remember your comments about “lies”.

I agree ARSailorMom, I don’t want to be in Iraq just as much as the next, but we are there and we need to complete the mission!
I support the president and his fight to end terrorism.

Anyone wanting to withdraw has forgotten 9/11 in my opinion.

I believe the Democrats were right with the administration on all the intel. Oh, by the way, I believe the Iraqi military was soundly defeated, also. I don’t believe everything he is doing is correct, but name a president who did everything that everyone agreed with. To be truthful, some of these are so full of paranoia, I’m afraid to think where they want the country to head.

NO ONE disputes that al qaeda and every other insurgency is in Iraq NOW… let’s see some evidence that al qaeda was in iraq BEFORE we invaded.. The fact that Bush rolls this out as justification for Iraq seems a desperate attempt to show connections.
I supported our actions in Afghanistan.. but we lost our sight, and my support, when we went into Iraq.

What do we need to worry about terrorists for when it seems like we ourselves as a nation are ready to rip each others throats out? Are we heading in to another Civil War? The way we are acting as Americans why do we even deserve to live in this country? The only way it seems that we are going to win against the terrorists is to have our Civil War. Once that is over, whichever side is the victor either goes on to finish off the terrorists and re-establish this Great Nation OR give in to the terrorists and sing our kumbuyah’s to Allah.

ARSailor Mom,
I notice that you didn’t respond to the fact that there were no ties between Saddam and al Queda. I find that to be so typical of righties that I argue with. They can never seem to acknowledge when they are wrong. They just skip over it and move on to some other talking point.
And there is no way that the war in Iraq is going to solve the problem of terrorism. Do you seriously believe that ALL of the terrorists are in Iraq? Do you seriously think that they’ve all been frightened into not attacking us because we invaded Iraq?

remember the saying about lies? another will follow. and whatever lies told ? will be exposed as such in the light of day.

No, I’m not blind to the fact that there are terrorists in our own neighborhoods and in countries other than Iraq. Jeez…. Also, the reason I have not commented about any connection between Sadaam and the al Qeada is because I don’t know whether there is or isn’t and I haven’t formed a solid opinion on the matter. I try to keep my comments to what I either know or what is my opinion.

Question for all my fellow americans. How many of you know the difference between the factions of Sunnis, and Shiites? and when you learn the differences? will you realize the faction america is backing is the wrong one.hum.. funny i saw a modern irag when saddam was in power, women dressed modern and progressing into the future. funny i see a trade off, america freeing the afghan female but now the iraqi female has been enslaved. i guess this is freedom and democracy. and america is footing the bill for all this.

Folks, read the print. “in 2005 Osama bin Laden tasked Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to go to Iraq to set up terror cells that would plan and plot attacks against the U.S. and other countries”.
Had we not INVADED and OCCUPIED Iraq in 2003 (2 YEARS EARLIER), then maybe we would NOT have made the country weak enough, mad enough and vulnerable enough for it to be a base of operations.
All this intelligence says is that we created the Iraq of 2005 that was primed to be a base of operations for terrorism and now we have to fight to stop what we created.

This report is about the Al Qaeda’s intention or interest in Iraq at 2005.
I don’t see how this report justifies the war in Iraq.
Saddam Hussein is a nationalist and dictator whom all the Middle East specially the Iraqi people suffers from. But Saddam Hussein and his party were propagating completely different ideology that never intersects with Al Qaeda’s idiolgy, actually his ideology but him in conflict with Al Qaeda’s.
What I am trying to say that trying to establish link between Iraq(Saddam) and Al Qaeda’s just doesn’t make sense specially for people like me how grow in the middle, it is simply doesn’t add up. The united state invade Iraq to increase it is control in the area and mostly because of the oil.

What difference does it matter that the intel was from 2005 and we invaded in 2003? If Bin Laden had not set up shop in Iraq, he would have just done it somewhere else. Like Mr. Twister said, he has shop set up in Lebanon right now. I’d bet he has shop set up in a lot of places. The little dab of intel we’ve been made privy to came from 2005, it doesn’t say when it all started. People, wake up. The fight is against terrorism and it is everywhere….and our troops are not fighting it in Iraq only, they are other places as well, too.

Can we just IMPEACH him for being STUPID and a LIAR ? (He has turned Iraq into the terrorist-breeding-ground that Afghanistan used to be and NOW IS again.) I bet he can’t even spell I-r-a-q.

When was Afghanistan NOT a breeding ground for terrorists? So, I guess Bush is to blame for the fact that people become terrorists? The way some of you are talking, do you think Bush wants there to be terrorists just so he can have war games? Do you honestly think ANY administration wants war just so they can get out their guns and raise the level of testoterone in the world? And, you call HIM stupid…

Does he really believe all Americans are stupid? Why doesn’t Bush go after Bin Laden and stop trying to terroize Americans with this BS – now that his rating are the worst of any president EVER – Be scared, very scared…I am sure the news of his “secret” war with Iran will make us more friends in the region.

Bush lied and cheated his way into the office and he lied about the war in Iraq. In his second election, he scared everyone into voting for him. Blame the idiots that thought they were doing our country justice by voting for him again. The last thing I would call him is an idiot, because some how he remained in office this long and the war is still going on. Maybe a liar and a cheat, but not an idiot.

Intellegence and The Bush Administration. A complete oxymoron.

Chris has it right, and he has his facts right. That is a refreshing thing to see on this blog.

> Hmmm. Isn’t this the same guy who said that Saddam had WMD’s?
Yep, him along with Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Tony Blair, Colin Powell, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards, The CIA, Russia, France, Egypt, Jordan, and Saddam Hussein… just to name a few.

>I no longer believe a word Bush says. He keeps saying there are WMD’s in Iraq,
He does??? I haven’t heard him say that in years.

Does he really expect us to swallow his crap? You mean Osama commissioned a terror cell in Iraq, 2 years after we invaded and we are supposed to accept this as THE link between Iraq and Osama that we have been waiting for for 5 years. I don’t know if he is insulting my intelligence or if I am overestimating his.

How many UN resolutions and deadlines did Iraq ignore prior to Bush doing what had to be done (with congressional approval I might add). Working within the confines of the UN is a dead end. The UN is as anti-American as some of the countries we are currently dealing with. Russia and China will take the opposite side almost everytime in an effort to minimize our influence and to protect their own economic interests which definately do not coincide with ours. Wake Up Liberals before its too late.

I posted defending Bush but when I came back to the site it was gone! Guess you just want one opinion. Figures!

This just goes to show how very important the selection of a vice president can be. Voters usually vote for who they want for president, giving only an afterthought to the vice president. Cheney is the ventriloquist here and Bush is his puppet. The media is saying Cheney was pushing for war with Iran. Is anyone surprised by this? Who can stop this madness?

I heard this already. This info was leaked back around the time al-Zarqawi was killed. We Americans have short memories. Plus Hello anyone could have guessed what Bin would want to do inside Iraq. Use it for an OJT and a base.

Just a comment to those that believe we will be okay when Bush and Cheney are gone…get a grip! These guys are only the head of the snake that is threatening our country. Lots of so called moderates on both sides voted for the Patriot Act and for warrantless wiretaps and for the suspension of habeas corpus and for indefinite detainment sans attorney or charges in “camps” out of country…etc. If you read the language of what all this means, you’ll find a country quite unlike we were only ten years ago. When Reagan dismantled the FCC rules of “in the public interest”, the First Amendment teeth within the Fairness Doctrine, he was setting the stage for a shift in policy and limiting a public forum for discussion or debate. It has taken them twenty years of “little changes”, but look at what has happened. Since then, you as a citizen have essentially the right now to shut up or get locked up. We need to take back the basics of our Constitution and demand a rollback of this crap. If you don’t want to live in a perpetual military state vote, get active, and get pissed off.

Well I gotta say one thing for you Brian…you really ate your Wheaties this morning! I hope you won’t take it too personally when I say that Bush, Cheney, and their minions need mindless dupes like you to stay in power. What I find comforting is that you and your ilk are in the distinct minority now, less than thirty percent of Americans support these creeps any longer. I’m betting that less than 5 percent have the blindness that you have. Thank god for that. Let’s get on the impeachment bandwagon and rid ourselves of these vermin before they can cause any more damage to a potentially beautiful society.

The American people wanted revenge for the attack on Pearl Harbor so President Truman dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan and the American people were very contented. The American people wanted revenge for the 9/11 attack on the twin towers in New York City. President Bush invaded Iraq without dropping atomic bombs on Iraq but the American people were not contented and now despise and humiliate President Bush. The American people must learn to realize that you just can’t drop atomic bombs on human beings for instant gratification. Revenge takes time to deliver using only military man power.
