btw, I'll assume you didn't mean me specifically here, since I don't promote the Democratic candidate, won't be voting for him, and I don't believe you would question a fellow poster's Christian faith in any event.
Bin Laden, according to special ops types, is hiding in Pakistan. Obama knows that, everyone knows that. Pak has not given us permission to enter their country and look for him. It would be rude to cross an allied country's border and go hunting.
Without their cooperation, we'd have to find another supply route into Afghanistan. Geography dictates that would leave Iran or Russia.
GW Bush turned DOWN an offer by the Taliban to deliver bin Laden to a third nation for trial.
Bush said that we didn't need a trial.
We already knew he was guilty.
Why did Bush turn down an offer to put bin Laaden on trial?
He didn't want for him to tell the truth about 9/11.
Bush rejects Taliban offer to hand Bin Laden over
9.30pm update: * Taliban demand evidence of Bin Laden's guilt
Sunday October 14 2001 22:19 BST
President George Bush rejected as "non-negotiable" an offer by the Taliban to discuss turning over Osama bin Laden if the United States ended the bombing in Afghanistan.
Returning to the White House after a weekend at Camp David, the president said the bombing would not stop, unless the ruling Taliban "turn [bin Laden] over, turn his cohorts over, turn any hostages they hold over." He added, "There's no need to discuss innocence or guilt. We know he's guilty".
In Jalalabad, deputy prime minister Haji Abdul Kabir - the third most powerful figure in the ruling Taliban regime - told reporters that the Taliban would require evidence that Bin Laden was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US, but added: "we would be ready to hand him over to a third country".
I'll get off your back when you stop making disparaging remarks about "Christian conservatives" and "Right-Wingers," etc. and stop making triumphant remarks about Obama will be the next president, etc. as lame attempts to get a rile out of people.
This is a discussion board and we are all personalities.
We are not robots who impassionately talk about facts, so quit playing the "I'm not the issue" card.
It's getting old.
Your attempts to be a vindictive thorn in everyone's side do not go unnoticed.
In summary, your posts make you come across as a royal jerk.
Neither do you.
I am a welder, not the president or an CIA official, and neither are you.
However, according to the intelligence reports that have been released (I am sure we only hear a small percentage of what really goes on because of national security issues), Hussein was funding several terrorists groups.
Ken, you hate Bush, and will never admit anything that he has done was the right thing, and, you will make any excuse to protect and promote the liberals, regardless of how many babies they kill or how they change marriage, or how much socialism they force on you.
(I use the word "force" it is really a slick indoctrination that fuzzy warm feeling people fall for)
First, you have made an accusation that the GOP and its supporters are using "cheap shots,"
but you failed to identify of the supposed "cheap shots."
So at this point the OP just looks like a cheap shot...
Yes I did...the intelligence reports that were released, and common logic would lead one to believe that , as an enemy of the US that Hussein was funding terrorists.
But mostly the intelligence reports.....they cant all be misleading.
