Interesting & thanks for the links. Being rather skeptical of all things USG, wonder if there will be more mention of OBL in the media now .....to divert attention from the "memo".....and calls for investigation.

It DOES seem that it might have been a lot "wiser" to stay focussed on this "war" on terrorism, utilize all known strategies to capture the "terrorists" and aim to deter terrorism.......than to divert attention into a war that was not even related to the issue, and therefore creating more anger at the US...which in turn is a potential for more terrorism.

It just might have been a tad arrogant to assume "they" could handle both with efficiency /finesse and accomplish both objectives with some reasonable success.

But then Military WARS /invasions are not the solution /deterent to terrorism either. The create a combative response, more rage and potentially foster more terrorism. (IMO)

.......Spain had it's tragic 3-11, and handled it more effectively. It did not go off half cocked invading nations "to make a point" to put on a "show of strength" but went about it quietly, strategically, without sensationalizing the terrorists , and have been making productive arrests along the way. It would be safe to say that 3-11 was a bi product of the bush invasion in Iraq. .....one of the many far reaching consequences that skillfully ,deceptively are not being addressed by the USG.

RE: So, WHERE is OBL ???

Maybe there is a reason they have not found him, Maybe America does not want him found? With all the ties his family has to the Bushies, it could embarrass "W". If certain things were to come out?

or "W" needs a world villian to continue justifying his "war on terror"?

Bin Laden not being found would be a convenient reason or excuse to attack or invade another country like Syria or Iran, as all he would say is "The war on terror continues and country A,B or C has him". So we must go in and find him and while we are there we will bring freedom and democracy to Country A,B or C and get rid of their dictator/terrorist supporting leader.

this is exactly the premise I have been working with. The Bin Ladens and the Bush's go back some ways anyhow. Remember how the OBL family members were "escorted" out of the US ...so quickly.....even during the peak no fly times .........when planes were being diverted elsewhere??? Bush needs the "Image" , figure of OBL free , as he can use "terrorists" as an excuse to futher his own agenda. .........under the guise as you present. In a sick way , both need each other to further their own cause.

In an "Ordinary" legal case.....the family would be detained or discouraged from travelling anywhere due to "questioning". Not sure the "family" was even "questioned" before being flown out of the US "for security" reasons.

If one recalls correctly , the last remarks bush made about OBL were rather dismissal in nature.---as if he was not that important anymore. ( who can keep up with this kind of mindset?? :?
