Here is the story by The Independent...
After a week of debilitating strikes at targets across Afghanistan, the Taliban repeated an offer to hand over Osama bin Laden, only to be rejected by President Bush.
The offer yesterday from Haji Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's deputy prime minister, to surrender Mr bin Laden if America would halt its bombing and provide evidence against the Saudi-born dissident was not new but it suggested the Taliban are increasingly weary of the air strikes, which have crippled much of their military and communications assets.
The move came as the Taliban granted foreign journalists unprecedented access to the interior for the first time. Reporters were escorted to the village of Karam in southern Afghanistan, where the Taliban said up to 200 civilians were killed in an American bombardment last Wednesday"
It is believed Bush protected Osama because he realized that Osama was more profitable to The Republicans alive rather that dead, for their Election in 2004. If Osama Bin Laden was allowed to live, he would be the threat that keeps on giving...even if he was never seen again. Just the "threat" of him being able to attack us again would be enough for the Republicans to instill fear in the Republican base and thereby win the 2004 Elections. This did come to pass. Was this the "Architect's" plan?
Of course we know Bush again protected Osama Bin Laden by letting him escape in Tora Bora. It would not surprise me if Halliburton or one of the other Contractors who made Billions in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, built that Compound in Abbottabad for Osama and his Family.
Thank Goodness we have a real President now, who acts more than he talks...actions speak louder than words. Just one look at all the things President Obama did last week, before taking down Bin Laden and you will see a truly great man...and an equally Great President, who can walk and chew gum ...and string words together to make coherent sentences, all at the same time. Congratulations Mr. President, you made the World Proud!!

The entire Bush administration should be in jail, I will believe that until the day I die.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Bustednuckles. He was a criminal long before he stepped into the WH. The Bushes were Business Partners with the Bin Ladens long before Bush Senior Became President.
ReplyDeleteIf what The Independent is saying is true, then this is truly scary. Sean Hannity has continually told the proven lie that Sudan "offered bin Laden on a silver platter" to President Clinton in 1996 and he turned it down. If Bush really did what this article is suggesting, what would the Republicans call THAT if a Democratic President had done it? The same thing they would have called it had Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter sold arms to Iran: TREASON.
