Answer 10

We have brave men and women who are giving up their lives fighting the taliban in Afghanistan and chasing Bin Laden.

Bush is chasing him there and in Iraq.

Answer 11

binLaden was never an issue with Bush; he was only the scapegoat. From his very first day in the Oval Office, George W. Bush had been ordered to invade iraq, for three very lame reasons:

1. Bush was 'selected' as President to 'get even' with Saddam Hussein for humiliating George H.W. Bush during Operation Desert Storm. This inane 'war' was personal - taxpayers' TRILLIONS were squandered for personal revenge;

2. d**k Cheney was 'selected' as Vice-President so the rich OIL barons [who bailed George W. Bush out of one failed business venture after another] could recoup their losses and earn TRILLIONS from Iraq's vast OIL reserves;

3. The giant U.S. military-industrial complex [which Dwight Eisenhower warned us about] need to boost sagging profits from too many years of peace.

So, Bush was put in the White House - by hook or by crook, even if it took all the Bush dynasty' 'connections' and money and political power to get him elected. Even if they had to overide a popular vote and let the Supreme Court elect the President.

Next step: an event so catastrophic that emotions would run high and give George W. Bush a 'blank check' from the Congress and the American people. Larry Silverstein, a Bush family friend, was losing millions on his Twin Towers in NYC. Vacancies were mounting, and he needed a way out. Solution: a"terrorist" attack staged on U.S. soil. To make it look more authentic and less staged, a weak wall in the Pentagon (which was scheduled for repair anyway) was also destroyed by "terrorists".

George W. Bush's younger brother 'just happened' to be the Director of Security for the Twin Towers just prior to this event. Experts have testified that they believe a demolition crew had planted explosives in the building prior to 9-11-01.

After leaving the White House, George H.W. Bush joined the Carlyle Group, headquartered within walking distance of the Oval Office. Before becoming Vice-President, d**k Cheney was the CEO of an obscure little company called Halliburton, which gave him an astonishing multi-million-dollar 'golden parachute' after his brief employment there.

Prominent Saudi Arabian investors [friends of the Bush family for years] put money into the Carlyle Group, including a wealthy family by the name of binLaden [who invested $2.5 million originally). On 09-11-01, Carlyle Group investors were meeting in D.C. and were secretly flown out of the country after the 'terrorist attack' even though all other air traffic was grounded.

Since the unconstitutional, illegal and immoral attack on Iraq, Halliburton and the Carlyle Group have become two of the largest U.S. government contractors. Halliburton is building fourteen new, permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq right now. The U.S. is building the largest embassy in the world in Iraq overlooking the 'new' Iraqi government headquarters in downtown Baghdad. it is obvious the U.S. will maintain a presence in Iraq until every drop of OIL has been sucked from its sands.

The #1 non-military 'benchmark insisted upon by the Bush adminsitration is that the Iraqi Parliament surrender two-thirds of its OIL fields to 'foreign' OIL companies, which will allow corporations like Exxon-Mobil [which earned $44 billion in profit during the first quarter of 2008] to virtually STEAL Iraq's most valuable economic resource. All that OIL will almost certainlly continue to boost massive profits for the OIL industry in the U.S., making a handful of Bush friends, wealthy elitists, industrialist, OIL barons and power brokers wealthier and more powerful.

Next stop: IRAN. Expect the Bush administration to be ordered to invade Iran just prior to - or shortly after - the November elections. Bush will then be told to declare martial law [which he can more easily do since he has revoked the posse Comitatus Act of 1879, which gives him the power to declare martial law without the consent of Congress]. Bush will be told to forego the elections, claiming that it is in the best national interests not to change administrations at the time. He will remain in office until the thugs in his administration have complete control over the Iranian OIL fields.

Shortly after 9-11, Bush publicly announced that binLaden was "no longer a priority" and ordered all the government agencies to stop their searching.

binladen's family allegedly owns a huge gated, armed compound outside of Orlando, Florida. It is plausible to believe that binladen was flown into the U.S.A. on 9-12-01 and has lived in luxury at his family's estate ever since, even making his videos from Florida. It is possible that our government KNOWS binLaden is not hiding in the caves of Afghanistan.

Can all this be coincidence? If you're naive enough think so, please call me; I have some oceanfront property in Truth-or-Consequences, NM I'd like to sell you. -RKO- 05/12/08
