Bush today did something I think is astonishing. He validated and support OBL statement that he wants a different vision for Iraq.
I am perplexed as to why OBL after all of this time decided to endorse al Zaquari and his efforts to dismantle democracy in Iraq.
I never believed that OBL was interested in opposing America because they hate our freedom and our democratic way of life. This has been Bush's contention for why the terrorist struck. on 9/11. This was a convenient way of not dealing with the fact that OBL and others statements never referred to our freedoms but the policies that America had in regards to the middle east and the Palestinian people. America support for the oppressive royal family in Saudi Arabia and presence in the country has been a key to their hatred.
But Bush's notions have now been supported by OBL and Bush is elated in his endorsement.
What is going on here? Is America really fighting terrorism or using terrorism to advance a theory for the region. I get the impression that the goal of capturing or killing terrorist has been supplemented with the goal to see elections in Iraq. The elections are now seen as a win over terrorism. Am I am sure OBL is very happy that America is happy with this shift in American sentiment about terrorism. It surely let's him off the hook if al Zaquari becomes the main focus of our quest to stop terrorism.
What does flip flop mean?
It is obvious to me that as long as OBL is alive and well the Bush agenda and the GOP will be alive and well in America. This urks me to no end!
Democrats need to denounce the notion that OBL is a credible source for anything! The president should not use OBL statements as a validation for anything. He is our enemy not a equal diplomat!
