Do you care that Bush let bin Laden go free?

Yes I do because at the battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan in December of 2001, we had Osama Bin Laden cornered, and rather than using Special Forces troops to either nab him or just kill him, our military paid Afghan War Lords to go after him, and god knows where he went or what happened. Point being, he got away. Ever since then, I think America has had a black eye because the rhetoric of our president after 9/11 was we're going to get him dead or alive, and it never amounted to what he promised.

It seems that our government has failed us at every level to me... first with Clinton, as you have stated, but his failures is no excuse for the current presidency not taking further action to catch bin Laden now... I'm not even going to talk about pre-911 failures, which I think there were some by both Bush and Clinton\n\nNow that we have seen what he is capable of, we still haven't caught him... which to me is much less excusable than not catching him before we knew what he was capable of... and I think we're open to other attacks now... \n\nwe should not look to the past and pointing fingers anymore, at Bush or Clinton, but talk about what we should be doing now... which if you ask me, is focusing on Bin Laden

Let's face it Bin Laden is a lot more useful to the US free and alive. Nice boggey man to scare your spastic population into doing whatever the wealthy want.

In his latest audiotape which was released on January 19th, Osama ben Laden had declared: "If you [Americans] are sincere in your desire for peace and security, we have answered you. And if Bush decides to carry on with his lies and oppression, then it would be useful for you to read the book _Rogue State', which states in its introduction ... " He then goes on to quote the opening of a paragraph (which appears actually in the Foreword of the British edition only, that was later translated to Arabic), which in full reads:\n "If I were the president, I could stop terrorist attacks against the United States in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize -- very publicly and very sincerely -- to all the widows and the orphans, the impoverished and the tortured, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. I would then announce that America’s global interventions -- including the awful bombings -- have come to an end. And I would inform Israel that it is no longer the 51st state of the union but -– oddly enough -– a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims and repair the damage from the many American bombings and invasions. There would be more than enough money. Do you know what one year of the US military budget is equal to? One year. It’s equal to more than $20,000 per hour for every hour since Jesus Christ was born.\n"That’s what I’d do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, I’d be assassinated."\nThe stunning victory of the Islamic Resistance Movement Party Hamas in the Palestinian elections underlines the central contradictions in the Bush administration's policies toward the the Islamic World. Hamas' stunning victory underlines the contradictions, hypocrisies and double-standard in Bush's Mideast policies.\nDemocracy depends not just on elections but on a rule of law, on stable institutions, on basic economic security for the population, and on checks and balances that forestall a tyranny of the majority. Elections in the absence of this key societal context can produce authoritarian regimes and abuses as easily as they can produce genuine people power. Bush is on the whole unwilling to invest sufficiently in these key institutions and practices abroad. And by either creating or failing to deal with hated foreign occupations, he has opened our minds to the fact that only militant Islamist movements that gain popularity because of their honest credentials is only the way forward.

I don't think it will make much difference in the war now that he's gone.  The war will still go on as long as people keep shooting.\n\nAs to Bin Laden, I really don't think we'll ever find him.  The government's been looking for him since even before 9-11 and they haven't caught up with him yet.

The Russians say they killed Osama Bin Laden 15 years ago. The video they keep posting has no validity with me, since George Bush can't seem to produce Bin Laden. George Bush wont even talk about the number one terrorist to America and I think that is really strange.

Well he did care about us when we went after Al Queda after 9/11, that war went very well and we practically had Bin Ladin however after he went to Iraq and all the mix ups with the Intel and lack of support really started to be his downfall. All groups started attacking him and he seemed to get more and more distant from the public and issues. And it seems now that he'll only get to the issues here if the people get frustrated enough and start demanding some action to be done, much like the illegal immigration problem. That issue was floating around in the air and then groups like the Minute Men started taking action and more people started demanding action to be taken, then after the illegals starting protesting i think that's when it reached the boiling point then Bush did something about it. I don't think a president who cares about his people would wait this long. \nBut even if you think Bush doesn't care about America and it's people you have to think about the other groups who are just downright against this country all together like the extreme liberals and others who think this country shouldn't have a military. I'm not as concerned about Bush as i am about these groups trying to spread their influence in America.  So you can argue Bush doesn't care, but there are groups who really don't care and are trying their best to ruin our way of life, such as the many attacks on Christmas such as no parties in schools, no public displays in places like government centers. Alot of things people know Bush as are highly exaggerated and false. Sure Bush did unpopular things but people like to take information and twist it around so it makes him look that much worse. So you need to make the observations by what you saw happening instead of reading and listening to the News because it's always gonna be biased.

Wow, crazy. Bush no doubt will decline it though. If Osama is serious, I wish we could call a truce and end this.

He doesn't care. He has ties with the Saudis, is doing this for oil, and for more would rather start a global war or one with the middle east than capture Osama Bin Laden. Amazingly, people complain about Clinton and Kerry, well I say bullshit. I would rather Playboy and Wishy-Washy over the man who has been sending our country into a downward spiral. When will he nut up, go to rehab, get UN-addicted to oil and get the man who actually HURT us?
