- Anomaly100, on 11/02/2009, -18/+92Comment at the bottom of the article:
noseeum says:
(Bush) expressed confidence that Laden will be brought to justice which “he deserves to be” and it was a matter of time.
We express confidence that Bush will be brought to justice which “he deserves to be” and it is a matter of time. - inactive, on 11/02/2009, -9/+55I always took it when Bush said he wanted to "Smoke him out", that he was going to get High with Bin Laden.
- DevilToo, on 11/02/2009, -5/+49He always talks like a Marshall in a western.
- 10lbhammer, on 11/02/2009, -5/+39that is a great comment..............!!!!!
- sbcea, on 11/02/2009, -1/+33I think Bush meant to say "Out smoke him."
- twiztidsinz, on 11/03/2009, -1/+31MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!
Just not the mission that was publicly known. - publiclurker, on 11/02/2009, -5/+29If by marshal you mean town drunk, then yes.
- avidlinuxuser, on 11/03/2009, -6/+29Um, it's perfectly valid to say he didn't properly resource the Afghanistan war. Iraq took away troops and funding from the campaign in Afghanistan.
- wineinc, on 11/02/2009, -4/+27Many sheriffs in the old west played on both sides of the law. So did Bush.
- RogerStrong, on 11/03/2009, -4/+26"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our Number one priority and we will not rest until we find him!"
- President Bush, September 13, 2001
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- President Bush, March 13, 2002
=====
"In the early days of the Afghan war, Osama was almost captured (or killed) at Tora Bora, where Canadians were tasked with digging up al-Qaida bodies in hopes that one might have been Osama bin Laden.
The feeling at the time was that British commandos had bin Laden holed up, and were poised to capture or kill him, but they were called off because the Americans wanted to do it, and the operation was put on hold for a couple of days.
In the interim, Pakistani helicopters reportedly flew in and removed Osama and his key leaders.
That's essentially what Canadians soldiers who were there say."
- Peter Worthington - JedicodeWarrior, on 11/03/2009, -12/+28Yet another thing that bush started that he cannot finish.
- 312139, on 11/03/2009, -3/+18Good thing Bush learned from Clinton's awful presidency and caught Bin Ladin as his first act as president and saved us all from a potential attack on the US. I'm so glad 3,000 people were not killed, and the World Trade Center is still standing. Thank God for Bush, huh?
- Orbital101, on 11/03/2009, -2/+17Obama fell further and faster than any president in recent history. And once he did, where were his numbers? About 20 points higher than Bush when he left office.
- PhoenixTx, on 11/03/2009, -4/+18The New Digg? WTF?
Do you know how to keep an ***** in suspense Novy?
Don't worry, I'll tell ya next week bro. - inactive, on 11/03/2009, -1/+15many US trained and funded mujahaddin joined taliban when it formed. now that these very same people are killing US soldiers, americans like to hide behind group labels. for example, even though US didn't fund a group called taliban, it did fund most of the people who are currently IN taliban. another example of american double think is that the people that were fighting soviets were freedom fighters, but now these very same people, who are killing americans all over the world, are labeled terrorists.
- AiR1890, on 11/03/2009, -14/+27Do not forget we (America) gave the taliban billions of dollars, plus the expert training in effectively killing a large group of people, to fight the Russians at the time.
- mollydog12, on 11/03/2009, -3/+15come on novie, the "new digg". you're not saying the neighborhood has gone to ***** because of the new neighbors are you ?
that sound ominously racist. - sauron256, on 11/03/2009, -1/+12Kinda like the economy, the Iraq war, Afghanistan, Gitmo...
- DivisibleByZero, on 11/03/2009, -6/+17I heard the "why are we spending so much in Iraq instead of Afghanistan" argument a lot during Bush's reign...
- lutafin, on 11/03/2009, -6/+17And this related to obama how?
- NotAChickenHawk, on 11/03/2009, -3/+13Every single true American wants Bin Laden's head on a platter. But W? He's just like "whatever...."
- BasalCellBossk, on 11/03/2009, -1/+11quirkopatra is a liar.
The UN inspectors were allowed into Iraq - Saddam called Bush's bluff - and they found no evidence of WMDs. Hans Blix stated there were none. UN inspectors stated that Saddam had no WMD potential. Bush invaded anyway. - 4321234, on 11/03/2009, -2/+12After Israel invades Lebanon, on 8/24/82, Reagan sends Marines to evacuate Arafat and his guerrillas from Beirut, with the Marines withdrawn on Sept 10,1982.
On 10/29/1982 Reagan sends the Marines back to Beirut as part of a multinational force that includes French, Italian and British forces.
4/18/83 Suicide bomber truck kills 63 - 17 American - at U.S. Embassy
10/23/83 Suicide bomber truck kills 241 US Marines while second bomb kills 56 French members of the multinational force
2/26/84 Reagan completes cut and run - and bin Laden writes that this Reagan chicken hawk cut and run proves US is a paper tiger. Bin Laden ater states this was the moment he decided to target the US and the World Trade Center. - Scira, on 11/03/2009, -2/+12Everyone but his buddies fell into that field.
- foco2001, on 11/03/2009, -1/+11"TACOS RULE!"
- charlietuna, on 11/03/2009, -4/+13It's kinda tough to make it all the way to Loser from POTUS, but somehow he managed to achieve that distinction.
- lexman098, on 11/03/2009, -1/+10Which doesn't really matter because there was never any "problem he's willing or able to solve" field.
- LonesomeFighter, on 11/03/2009, -12/+20man i felt like i just read comments on Youtube or something. I thought Diggers had more class and education than this
- inactive, on 11/03/2009, -6/+13what's funny is that even if bin laden is caught, the US government will claim that invasion and occupation of iraq and afghanistan (along with over a million civilians americans murdered) were justified. the funny part is that bin laden will probably be replaced the second he's caught. the sad part is that americans will believe that they've accomplished something and when next terrorist act occurs, they'll think it's something completely unrelated. this cycle will never end because americans are dumbasses.
if american government really wanted to end terrorism, it would stop occupying foreign countries and it would stop funding terrorist states like israel that commit acts of genocide. - avidlinuxuser, on 11/03/2009, -7/+14You, of course, forget to mention this was after the Iraq War started, and terrorists got through the border of iraq since we weakened it.
- inactive, on 11/03/2009, -2/+9americans trained and funded them to kill people who were trying to bring them civilized life. now americans are trying to accomplish exact same thing soviets were, and they get attacked by the exact same people soviets did, except now these "freedom fighters" are using american training and funding against them.
it's pretty funny how things worked out for americans with these "cave-dwelling butts." not to mention 9/11... i think these guys killed more americans than soviets by now. - taibo, on 11/03/2009, -7/+14Thanks to Bush, it is now near impossible to find Bin Laden, let alone catch him.
And your 'liberal pals' were right in that there were no weapons found in Iraq. Maybe you should listen to your pals more instead of MSNBC. - AdamGorley, on 11/03/2009, -1/+8Hey, I'm just wondering if you have a copy of that article of Peter Worthington's? The Sun's website only goes back two years, and -- oops, just checking archive.org, nope -- and I don't want to pay them to dig up one article.
All I found was this: http://rantburg.com:8080/rantburg/poparticle.php?I ...
I never heard anything like that, and I live in Toronto. I'm a bit stunned to hear it now. - BasalCellBossk, on 11/03/2009, -1/+8quirko, butthurt and on the losing end as usual.
- DeskFlyer, on 11/03/2009, -5/+12Yet another retarded comment from the far right. Nice job making the quota today.
- eh123, on 11/03/2009, -3/+10The word is presidency, not "reign"
- taibo, on 11/03/2009, -2/+9@quiropatra
Hahaha. If the UN is such a reliable source, why did we invade Iraq against their will? - RogerStrong, on 11/03/2009, -0/+7I'm looking for it. I got it off a column of his on the Sun/Canoe Canada web site a few years ago.
I found, via this link also quoting it.....
http://rantburg.com:8080/rantburg/poparticle.php?I ...
...that the original URL was...
http://www.torontosun.com/news/columnists/peter_wo ...
So the column date was 2006/06/09.
Worthington didn't just hear these claims third-hand; he spent time on the ground in Afghanistan with the troops. He's a veteran of the Second World War and the Korean War, and has been in the middle of a lot of wars - covering them as a journalist - since then. (Interesting trivia: Worthington was just a few feet away when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald.) - twiztidsinz, on 11/03/2009, -1/+8Afghanistan, the war we should have been fighting, was ignored while Bush Jr finished up Daddy's War in Iraq.
So yeah... Bush should have been more focused on Afghanistan, not Iraq.
It was all the excess in Iraq that got people pissed.
Look at who had tons of No Bid Contracts over there: Haliburton
Look at who had very strong ties to Haliburton: Bush Sr and Dick Cheney.
Look at how much goods and money went missing and then tell me that it wasn't a way to launder money to certain individuals. - Lefts, on 11/03/2009, -0/+6Baitullah Mehsud was behind that. Taliban != Al Qaeda.
- Propethic, on 11/03/2009, -1/+78 years of mistakes is hard to bounce back from
- Propethic, on 11/03/2009, -0/+6Yeah, it's tough being the son of a president
- alrightwtf, on 11/03/2009, -0/+6didn't dubya LOVE his coke?
- HornyAngel, on 11/03/2009, -0/+6Judge Roy Bean, the law west of Pecos, says - We'll give him a fair trial, and then we hang him.
- mrcoderga, on 11/03/2009, -3/+9Easter Bunny
Santa Claus
Trix the Rabbit
Osama Bin Laden
Fantasies all, for a purpose, and not a single one will ever die - V3n0M, on 11/03/2009, -0/+6Fox News even said he's dead!
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,41576,00.html - AmazingSteve, on 11/03/2009, -1/+7But, But But CLINTON!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA It never gets old. Junior was a massive ***** failure. Deal with it.
- enantiodromia, on 11/03/2009, -0/+5I am pretty sure we have all been saying "let's focus on Afghanistan instead of Iraq", but your revisionist history gland seems to be working over time here.
- BasalCellBossk, on 11/03/2009, -2/+7The Mujaheddin *are* the Taliban. They are the same groups.
Bin Laden fought with the Mujaheddin. -
