Brave John Ashcan smiling big as he holds up a trout or some catch.

PS: That story is something, Roland99. Proof they knew and did nothing.

Bush was warned OBL hijacked jet threat. So Bush avoided the hotel and slept aboard a missile destroyer in the harbor.

Here's the story from July 2001:



Why would Osama bin Laden want to kill Dubya, his former business partner?

By James Hatfield

Editor's note: In light of last week's horrific events and the Bush administration's reaction to them, we are reprising the following from the last column Jim Hatfield wrote for Online Journal prior to his tragic death on July 18:

July 3, 2001—There may be fireworks in Genoa, Italy, this month, too.

A plot by Saudi master terrorist, Osama bin Laden, to assassinate Dubya during the July 20 economic summit of world leaders, was uncovered after dozens of suspected Islamic militants linked to bin Laden's international terror network were arrested in Frankfurt, Germany, and Milan, Italy, in April.

German intelligence services have stated that bin Laden is covertly financing neo-Nazi skinhead groups throughout Europe to launch another terrorist attack at a high-profile American target—his first since the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen last October.

According to counter-terrorism experts quoted in Germany's largest newspaper, the attack on Dubya might be a James Bond-like aerial strike in the form of remote-controlled airplanes packed with plastic explosives.

Why would Osama bin Laden want to kill, Dubya, his former business partner?

FTR: Hatfield died a few days after this was published. A suicide. By hanging.

Uttered by appointed pretzeldent George W Bush, Feb. 14, 2007 at a White House press conference in which not a single of the callow, cowed press corpse saw fit to ask a follow-up. Then the third generation warmonger laughs.



Cindy Sheehan tried to bring the Warmonger in Chief's ode to profit to our nation's attention. Unfortunately for the nation and planet, in all the intervening years, not a single member of Congress or the Judiciary, nor even one journalist, bothered to ask the little turd from Crawford about it.
