    He did. Everyone knows the only reason he is president is because of his father and James A. Baker III. Bush doesn't have the brains to become president by himself.

    Look at the way he acts......

    Well, those two in combination with the Tri-Lateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Illuminati, and special cash contributions from the planet Xenu. :rolleyes:

    Oh yeah, and he got more votes because the Democrats nominated a complete fool who turned out to be morally objectionable to boot!

    Thank you, they don't like taking responsibility for it either, so they rather say Bush stole it, and dipshit was the real winner ...

    Lets not forget that democrats think Bush is cozy with the Saudis, but Gore, just the other day said:

    If we had cut off Saudi passports pre 9/11 15 of the 19 terrorists might not have gotten in the country :rolleyes:

    A customer of mine from Florida called me last year and said, "you know, in order to claim someone stole something kinda insinuates that it was yours to begin with."

    Think real hard about that...

    A more accurate assertion would be "Bush is real cozy with the Bin Ladens" ;)

    you lost that one a long time ago with your mis-understanding of the difference between the bin laden family and osama. Let it go, you look like an idiot when you bring that up.

    Yes, because we all know bush already stated it's not a priority to find osama, and that hes dosn't care about finding him...

    you know ... the guy he claims is responsible for 9/11.. but doesn't care to find ;)

    i guess that clumsy attempt at a topic change is your admission that my previous point is right. you are really just a tired, broken record - bringing up the same points over and over again without really trying to figure out what your post even means :rolleyes:

    blah..blah..blah..trolling around..blah..blah..blah

    Even if it was rational (which it's not) to believe a family wants their son, brother, cousin, etc to be caught and killed by the US it would be absolutely stupid to discredit the fact that the Bush family is very close to the Bin Laden family and they do business together.

    Surely there's no connection to the Bush/Bin Laden families ties and bush saying he doesn't care to find Osama.

    Surely there's a reasonable explanation as to why Bush said "it's not our priority" to capture the man responsible for 9/11....

    So fill it in Lorien...

    The reasonable explanation to why bush doesn't care to find Osama is ____________________________ :confused: :confused:

    If I MUST do some thinking for you...

    When we invaded Afghanistan in 2002 or whenever, how many ground troops did we involve? 30 or 40 thousand?

    The mountains where Osama could possibly hide stretches hundreds or thousands of miles. Lets say you decide to tie up 20,000-30,000 troops in the hunt thru the mountains. Keep in mind, the people who frequent these mountains are most like Osama loyalists and will fight to the death in terrain that they know far better than you. Tons of places to hide, and play a game of cat and mouse forever.

    So, you've invested 3/4 of your troops looking for 1 man, whose cost would be lots of soldiers and very little return.

    You have a choice of either trying to take control of the country - establish a new leadership and gain a potential ally or have a pyrrhic victory and capture one man who will either be caught one day or be killed. What's your decision?

    I think its pretty obvious.

    In another sense...

    if you want to take down a corporation, do you take down the CEO? Of course not, he is replacable, but if you take away the company's ability to function from underneath, the CEO no longer matters. I also think this strategy has been pretty effective.

    Apparently you forgot, or are just too ignorant to realize that the Bin Laden family kicked their son out of the country and disowned him.

    Let us also not forget that the Billy had Osama handed to him 3 (that's THREE) times, and refused each time.

    I said it once, I'll say it again. When a serial killer or murderrer or kidnapper is on the lose, do we not make it our priority to find them? They could be anywhere for thousands of miles...

    So we're just going to allow all these loyalists to roam free why they plan more attacks on the United States?

    How about finding the guy responsible for 9/11 before invading a new country to take out the guy who faught your daddy? :D

    I do to,
    Bush's + Bin Ladens + millions of dollars = No Osama

    Not in the case of Jeffery Dahmer or John Wayne Gassey.

    Nope, were gonna find them and kill them. Just like we have been doing. There is a reason GITMO is still around.. Think about it.

    You're so cool... How's the saying go? Young dumb and full of...

    Now who is trolling :rolleyes: Did I miss the substantive and logical retort?

    Again. Do you occupy 20-30,000 soldiers and try to catch 1 man and perhaps lose a country in the process; or do you secure the country, replace the leadership and possibly gain an ally. What is your choice yo-yo? Its not difficult really.
