Osama's Military Strategy

Authored by Michael Pate on December 17th, 2003 at 9:38 AM

And the most vile part of this campaign against Mr. Bush is that the terrorist war is being used as a tool to try to defeat him—which means that if Mr. Bush does not win, we will certainly lose the war. Indeed, the anti-Bush campaign threatens to undermine our war effort, give encouragement to our enemies, and cost American lives during the long year of campaigning that lies ahead of us. Osama bin Laden’s military strategy is: If you make a war cost enough, Americans will give up and go home. Now, bin Laden isn’t actually all that bright; his campaign to make us go home is in fact what brought us into Afghanistan and Iraq. But he’s still telling his followers: Keep killing Americans and eventually, antigovernment factions within the United States will choose to give up the struggle. - Orson Scott Card

We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th…What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? …What do they have to hide? I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9-11. A complete investigation might reveal that to be the case. - Cynthia McKinney

I don’t know. There are many theories about it. The most interesting theory that I’ve heard so far, which is nothing more than a theory, I can’t—think it can’t be proved, is that he was warned ahead of time by the Saudis. Now, who knows what the real situation is, but the trouble is that by suppressing that kind of information, you lead to those kinds of theories, whether they have any truth to them or not, and then eventually they get repeated as fact. So I think the president is taking a great risk by suppressing the clear, the key information that needs to go to the Kean commission. - Howard Dean

Do you suppose that the Bush administration has Osama bin Laden hidden away somewhere and will bring him out before the election? - Madeleine Albright

There’s too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing. I don’t know that it was definitely planned on this weekend, but I know they’ve been in contact with people all along who knew basically where he was. It was just a matter of time till they’d find him. It’s funny when they’re having all this trouble, suddenly they have to roll out something. - Jim McDermott

…David Icke says that the Bush administration was aware of the danger of the 9/11 attack, but let it happen in order to gain the immediate political advantage of shocking 90% of Americans into supporting the Bush agenda. Okay, I don’t know David Icke and can’t speak for his authority, but I have heard that the White House has been stonewalling the official report on 9/11, refusing to allow it to be released. I don’t see how there can be legitimate reason to suppress that—unless it indicates administration complicity. I know that the nefarious Patriot Act was rushed through Congress in the immediate wake of that tragedy, while public attention was distracted. (I understand the lurking sequel, Patriot Act II, is even worse.) So now I must wonder: were 3,000 innocent people deliberately sacrificed on the altar of rightist politics? If so, this smells like treason. - Piers Anthony

ever heard of the afganistan oil pipeline or operation northwoods?

UNDOUBTEDLY PRESIDENT BUSH WAS AWARE>>>>LOOK>the fbi had info since early 90's about total intent to take DOWN both towers. presidents bushs friends at UNICAL CORP who meet taliban officials discuss the afghani pipeline....NATURAL GAS...Enron was already set up in India to recieve the gas....LOOK IT UP....Clinton's bombing of the afghanis in 1998 (BIN LADEN) caused the deal to go south...until days after 9/11 that is....AMAZING STUFF. . I BEG YOU to look it all up....good reliable sources that is ...too many to list!!!!Some best sellers even document this stuff on amazon.com. The saudi relationship with BUsh is WELL documented and then there is this...--1 or 2 days after 9/aa who was the only people allowed to fly in an airplane in the usa? answer--members of the saudi royal elite and bin laden family members......with authority of commander and chief flown out of usa with no FBI investigation allowed....and they wont answer to why cause of national security...blanked out 28 pages of SAUDI involvement. ALSO...ON 9/11----------THERE WAS NO US RESPONSE TO AIRSPACE SECURITY ISSUES. Not NORAD, the FAA, The US intelligence agencies who knew of plan to take down towers, No ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE in DC!!!!!! NO response...President BUSH knows of FIRST tower and goes and read s to children....OH MY GOD!!

Any one who golfs or watches it from time to time heard of PAYNE STEWART. He died in plane crash few years back.....it was before 9/11.. When the gas in plane made them all pass out...the plane was acting funny with no response....within 15 MINUTES there were 2 us military jets (fighters) to kindly escort said blip.......it is us policy to respond. NORAD know of every thing in the sky. The FAA is keenly aware of all issues. If transponders were turned off like THEY SAY then that is a sure warning signal to FAA that a plane is in trouble. If they didnt turn them off then they would have identified the aircrafts intentions immediately. Either way they are f-ed. I can't take the american media which control the people theough tv....god helpp us all..
