52 months after 9/11/2001 - why is UBL uncaught and unpunished?

[undeterred]

[PhilipShore]

1. Bush Sr. and the CIA created UBL...

if they catch him, he will like Jack Abramoff--cooperate.

[Swamp Rat]

13. yep

[undeterred]

2. Why aren't conservatives angry that UBL hasn't been caught?

This makes no sense at all.

[Zenlitened]

3. Because they are lowlife shit.

Because they have taken hypocrisy to a level never before imagined. Because they themselves are America's true enemy: craven, cowardly, duplicitous, vile.

[RC]

8. Conservatives haven't been told to be angry about OBL.

Remember the Happy Holiday/Christmas absurdity? They were told to get upset about that. That went pretty well for a first test, don't you think?

[Karenina]

4. To this day

there has been NO REAL PROOF or EVIDENCE presented to the American public that OBL was involved. Just MEDIA SPECULATION. I guess that's good enough fer y'all.

[Beam Me Up]

5. OTHER: There is no solid evidence he was responsible for 9/11.

Oh, I know, they told us he was, along with so much other bull shit they've told us. What amazes me is that so many people BELIEVED it -- because they didn't know what else to believe, I guess.

Just one thing is missing: EVIDENCE. Real, solid, hold up in court, evidence. You know, like the kind they DID NOT HAVE (but insisted they did) for Hussain's WMD?

[ArbustoBuster]

6. Bush Admin incompetence.

Whether it's incompetence in using those intangible and physical resources we had in 2001 (a strong military, many allies) or incompetence in keeping their eye on the ball (in other words, they were distracted by the Shiny Shiny Ball that is Iraq), it's incompetence.

That's just my opinion, of course. History may prove me wrong.

[DireStrike]

7. Why would they want to "catch" their own agent? -nt-

[agincourt]

10. Exactly

He was useful in the war against the Soviets, he is useful for the war against liberalism and democracy. Two things that conservatives hate even more than communism. Why the American children can't figure this out, I'll never know.

[leftofthedial]

9. the bin Laden family know that 9-11 was a MIHOP by the bush gang

the Saudi's would take out king george if he "retaliated" against one of them.

[Ignacio Upton]

11. Bush has done a shitty job

1. He outsourced his capture to Afghanistan warlords at Tora Bora

2. He took us into Iraq and did not focus on the War in Afghanistan as the number one priority.

12. kick!

14. Bin Laden is Bush's Business Partner--That's Why

I've had an opinion about this for a few years, based on the known facts about the corporate oil industry ties between the Bush family and the bin Laden family, Saudi oil interests, etc., for generations. I believe that the last thing in the world Bush wants to do is to catch, and piss off, a real oil insider who knows all the crimes the Bush family has committed over all these years involving the oil industry, doing things against the American people for the sake of profits, undercutting U.S. law, corporate and personal taxes not paid, etc., etc. Then of course there was the Bush Administration's active sabotage of the original Sept. 11th Congressional Committee report on the activity of Saudi Arabia among the terrorists, censoring the entire chapter, and all references to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld's/etc. business "friends." This was the good Sept. 11th investigation that actually uncovered things, that former Sen. Bob Graham of Florida was on.

Kevin Phillips and others have uncovered much about the multi-generation ties between the Bushs and the bin Ladens--shocking to think about all by itself--and I happen to remember an odd incident that didn't make any sense to me at the time, but does now, from when Bush I was President. During the very early '90s, when OPEC was raising oil and gas prices and threatening an embargo, etc., and we were having yet another strangling of the middle class and poor with prices, at one point Sheikh Yemani, a totally honest person who then headed and negotiated for OPEC, offered to increase oil and gas supplies and lower prices. "Bizarrely," Bush launched a complete campaign to fight this, and eventually got Yemani fired, and replaced with an obstructionist who did not lower prices, and whom Bush did not oppose. This used to baffle me; it doesn't anymore.

I think bin Laden knows so much about Bush and the Bush family and the way they do business--you think Bush is hated by the American people and close to impeachment now--that if bin Laden were ever caught (in your dreams!), I believe any number of lieutenants are under orders to release thousands, at least, of documents to websites, proving what collusion--over generations and against the best interests of the American people--there has been between the Bush family and their friend but our enemy, Osama bin Laden. When it gets right down to it, they are all rich global capitalists, together.
