We've heard the accusations of the bin Laden family and their financial ties to the Bush family and other officials. We've heard about the ties to terrorism former and current administrations have had. We've criticized the Bush administration's infatuation with Iraq in spite of the real culprits behind 9/11 having no links to Iraq. We finally learn on April 5 a possible reason why Osama bin Laden was able to escape in the mountains of Tora Bora and remain at large today. Like you and the approximately 71% of Americans who want out of Iraq, Osama has US representation and that representation listens when Osama speaks.
On April 5, on The Rush Limbaugh Show, Vice President Dick Cheny said:
"There's no way you can segment out and say, well, we'll fight the war on terror in Pakistan, or in Afghanistan, but we can separate Iraq, that's not really in any way, shape, or form, related. That's just dead wrong. Bin Laden, himself, has said, this is a central battle in the war on terror."
Osama has spoken and the Bush Administration listens. They listen to Osama bin Laden, one of the financial and technical backers of the atrocities of 9/11. They heed his advice to keep the war in Iraq going. Vice President Dick Cheney and the Bush Administration think 71% of Americans are wrong, but Osama bin Laden is right. Does VP Dick Cheney and the Bush Administration count Osama bin Laden as one of their constituents? Why would they do that? Is it even thinkable that Osama's support is helpful to them?
A skeptic might say, Osama bin Laden is kept alive which keeps the threat and fear of terrorism and 9/11 alive. Imagine a Bush Administration without Osama bin Laden as, what appears to be, a constituent.
