Nah uh. Bush had nothing to do with "not getting him". Bush was constantly on the back of the CIA to bring home the bacon, right up until his term finished. The CIA never came good at that time. ;)Quote:

OBL was on the Jerry Springer show earlier this year when on of his wives accused him of cheating. He gave the DNA sample then.Quote:

Hog poop.
While I do care about that son of a gun (OBL) getting his proper due? what about the jobless rate in the country? Government spending? Budget woes and all the OTHER problems here in the country? I think that after the Ding Dong Osama's Dead high wears off, the political landscape and the general unease of the population regarding the WHOLE political/economic will go back to being what it was before May 1.
Hmmmm...I heard he actually stepped behind wife number.....errr....not sure, but it must be somewhere between 1 and 20.Quote:

I think this is a wise decision, too. Potentially more harm might have come from it.Quote:

I can see why youth & adults celebrated the death of bin laden. It is a weight off of their shoulders. A good 23 years of al Qaeda terrorizing the world has been enough.

You can cut off the head of the snake, but it will live - for a while anyway. There are many more of his wannabe honchos out there, ready and willing to carry on in his name and for his "cause". And they will act, as they have no regard for life - even their own. I think it will be a long time before they can be stopped.Quote:

You're kidding, right? Mr. Mission Accomplished televised from an aircraft carrier? He "took credit" for finishing a war that still isn't even finished today!Quote:

I also heard that the government of Pakistan was not notified in advance that this would be taking place and some people who live in the area felt that the U.S. forces involved should not have done what they did in a country that was not their own.
No Im not kidding. Bush didnt take credit for anything.Quote:
