Bush Still Doesn’t Think Catching Bin Laden Important
September 15th, 2006 | by Ken Grandlund |Despite telling the American public in his national address on 9-11 that “Osama bin Laden and other terrorists are still in hiding. Our message to them is clear: No matter how long it takes, America will find you, and we will bring you to justice,” in a recent meeting with reporters in the Oval Office, Bush said that “capturing bin Laden is NOT a top priority” for America in the war on terror.
NOT A TOP PRIORITY?
Isn’t this the guy you swore to haul in “dead or alive?”
Isn’t this the guy you hold responsible for targeting America in the first place, thus launching the entire War on Terror?
Isn’t defeating him and his organization a better way to end international terrorism than continuing to fight a war against a country and people who, as you have now stated, “had nothing to do with 9-11?”
Capturing bin Laden won’t end all terrorism, but it sure would go a long way towards healing the gaping wound of 9-11.
Mr. President…everything you say is worthless horseshit. Can’t you at least make up your mind one way or the other and be honest with your country? Or when it comes to your old family friend bin Laden, are you just ready to ‘cut and run?’

He is not a priority because I think he will be the October Surprise.

No way they pull Osama out of the hat like a friggin rabbit Steve O..because they need him to keep making his shitty little movies about attacking us..its the only way they can milk the taxpayers for more money for the GWOT..AND keep removing our rights..one amendment at a time.
If they caught him..what cause would they use then?
