You want him to go back to spinning things up again?

Kerry would let him.

Lordy. What loony bizarro world was that posted from?

It isn't Kerry's family that has longstanding ties with the bin Ladens. It's Bush.

It isn't Kerry who dodged conflict in the 'war of his generation.' It was Bush.

Bush has had 3+ years to dispose of OBL. But he can't make up his mind to do so:

-------------------
“I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run.” He described bin Laden at the time as “marginalized” and said, “I just don’t spend that much time on him.” (March, 2002)
---------------------------

We've seen endless Bush PR about 'top al Quaeda leaders' being killed or captured. But AQ operates loosely, in cells... have we really hurt them, organizationally? They've allegedly had a membership growth spurt post-Iraq invasion.

And what evidence do you have that we've hurt them financially?

Did anyone ever follow up on all the put option activity and short-selling of airline and other stocks in early September '01? Somebody made miilions based on foreknowledge of 9/11. My guess is that it was AQ operatives. Not to mention OBL's supposed $300 billion... (s/b MILLION -- thank you, Tabs)
