Washington -- President Bush declared Osama bin Laden all but vanquished yesterday, saying the al Qaeda leader -- dead or alive -- no longer poses a serious threat to America.

"We haven't heard from him in a long time," Bush told reporters at the White House. "I truly am not that concerned about him."

I couldnt find any with pictures, maybe one of you can interpret this for the rest.

What a stupid thing to say.. correct me if I'm wrong, but gunpoint monologues are never worth it.

Yea, I try to keep it simple.  A futile attempt to guide the clueless to keeping the thread replies and side topics relevent.  You should take your own advice.

Maybe I should just say that it is extremely frustrating to still have OBL terrorizing the US, even if it is empty threats.  It seems to me that he has been let off the hook.  It seems to me that the effort to capture saddam, was a bit more aggressive and ended as one would expect an allout manhunt by the US to end.  Am I wrong?  Why do we just kill al-queada leaders instead of attempting to capture them for interrogation?  If a predator can track the car load of terrorists to a villiage, why cant we send in the special forces?  We have assets nearby?  This just doesnt make any sense to me.

You tell me. Was Iraq a known nuclear power like Pakistan? Was Iraq working with us like Pakistan is? Were we already committed to a war/occupation before we went in? What do we have in the way of surplus forces to invade Iran right now as opposed to when we went into Iraq.

If you recall, the reason put forth for Iraq was not to depose Saddam.

In hunting Bin Laden, Pakistan is theorhetically and, to some degree, cooperating in the search. So your solution is go ahead and invade Pakistan?

And you think we could manage Iraq and Iran at the same time? You think we still have the military to do that? Say "peace dividend" and think again.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you can find a 12 steps program somewhere.

In areas where we have the latitude to do that, it IS done. You also have to understand that the A-Q may prefer to die rather than be captured. I think you can find a few examples of that in Afghanistan.

Now, if the village is in Pakistan and the Pakistanis deny permission to use US SF on their soil... your suggestion is to go ahead and do it anyway?

If the village is in Iran your suggestion is to go ahead with cross-border operations and ignore the risk of starting another war right now?

Toad,

There isn't a program with enough steps to be of assistance to whithawk.

Stop trying to teach the pig to sing. He has neither the capacity or appreciation for it and it wastes your time. :p
