Bin Ladens President (more...)

H+E Stoeckl Nov 05, 2004 08:41 PM

The president of the Bundeskriminalamt in Germany (that's about the same like the FBI in the U.S.) believes that Bin Laden wanted Bush to be re-elected. On that score Bin Laden published his video tape several days before elections.

I think it is safe to assume that this was the real reason for the video. I don't know what advantage Bin Laden has that Bush is re-elected now. But Usama will have his reasons...

And one can say a lot of things about Bin Laden, but NOT that he is stupid. He was even able to manipulate some undecided voters.

Bin Laden has got the president he wanted.

I was going to refrain from anymore political discussion for a while BUT, your ignorance can not be ignored.
The last thing Bin Ladin wanted was for Bush to be re-elected. He knows that Bush fully intends to finish what he started and that means not stopping until he (Osama) is captured or killed. He also knows that Kerry would've turned a run!

I trust the assessment of the president of the German FBI more than yours.

Also, there are a lot of people who think that Bush would already have caught Bin Laden if he really wanted to.

According to Fahrenheit 9/11 Bush even was not in a hurry at all to start the chase of Bin Laden.

And I also hope you forgive me when I am say that I am not sure that Bush is more intelligent than Bin Laden. I think he (Bin Laden) will have had a good reason to publish the video at exactly that time.

Don't you think?

Eric East Nov 07, 2004 08:02 AM

Nothing to forgive. I just strongly disagree. I wouldn't put any stock in Micheal Moron nor would I care to take advice from the sissies in Germany!
BTW, we don't know that those tapes are Bin Ladin. He may already be dead. Who knows...

You think it is true that Osama wanted Bush re-elected but you had no reasons to believe that?

The more likely scenerio is that Osama assumed that Bush would lose the election and could not resist throwing a barb at him...Kinda like you missed me!

Moral: Wait till after the election before you comment.

... all the polls showed an equal race of the two candidates. Bin Laden must have known that his video will have an influence on the voters.

A video just to taunt Bush would have been more apt one day after the elections.

Speculation is a nebulous as anything in this world...If we could read his mind then we would have captured him a long time ago. Until then, one theory has equal weight to another.

The BIN LADEN family has been and are *friends* with the BUSH family for years.

Lets look at the following scenarios:

Bush is elected president(As has happened)

Bush THUS far has shown no true motivation or drive to capture Bin Laden. In fact we didnt even HEAR about Bin Laden until we neared ELECTION time or thereabouts. What we heard instead was that:

a)Saddam had the potential to create nuclear arms and use them upon either our ALLY(Israel) or us.

b)That there was a tie in between Bin Laden and Sadaam.

c)That Bin Laden was actually hding in IRAQ.

d)That we needed to bring "democracy to a region that has NEVER known any.

Whats ironic is that all these things have been DISPROVED and the pentagon and administration have said that they were WRONG about all of them.

Meanwhile Bin Laden still runs around..free..plotting, planning and of course RECRUITING from a veritable smorgasboard of young men who have been raised up to see the UGLY truth of U.S. occupation of their lands(Both Iraq and Palestine by the Israels)

Now...under Kerry..the same scenario:

Kerry states that he would track Bin Laden down. And that he would NOT withdraw from Iraq immediately but leave troops there to promote STABILITY(What stability do you have when you fight a gorilla war with people that appear to be citzens and often are?)

Long story short: If you think bush gives a *&%& about tracking down Bin Laden, or that Kerry really cared about it, then you just ought to sit back, read your CORPORATE owned and run newspaper, and watch any of ther MANY CORPORATELY run and controlled TV newstations and beleivfe what you hear.

PS

There never was a real choice for a president OF the people.

rearfang Nov 06, 2004 03:46 PM

Ok....So we play the devil's advocate and go on the assumption that your arguement is credible. It is easy to complain and point the finger....How about trying your hand at something constructive.

How would you solve the problem Fred?

Did you refer to all the people you scammed as "sheep"? Did you pay them all back yet after being exposed on the BOI???

There is often a lot of wisdom in sayings.

I am from Germany.

Another saying (one from Germany) that I am very fond of is:
"Gut gemeint ist das Gegenteil von gut."

Translation:

"Well meant is the contrary of good."
