Bush never wanted to find Bin Ladin. If he had it would have been over. He would not have been the "big hero who kept us from harm". He would have been just another little man with no idea how to be President. The so called "war on terror" gave him a reason to live and to look like a real man. The diary says it all ... or most of it I hope... and after the diary please go read what Frank Schaeffer has written on Huffington Post. They are now "proud' of the fact that republicans read them and comment (ugh) but after you read Schaeffer you will not doubt the influence that evangelicals had over Bush. They convinced him that God had chosen him... and all the people who worked with him to wage war on the world for God... well their sadistic, mean version of God.
Here are the facts: Osama Bin Laden could have stayed at the Plaza in New York and the Bush administration wouldn't have found him. The man was on DIALYSIS. He had to drag a dialysis machine and a GENERATOR around with him in the hills and the desert. He could have been found from the MOON. As long as he stayed "on the loose" they could use him to frighten us to death. First they start a war in a country that they know he's not in. They wanted to fight muslims, they admit that, they didn't care which muslims.
These crazy evangelical preachers like Ted Haggard (until he was found to be paying for male prostitutes and drugs) convinced Bush day by day that God wanted him to destroy everyone that was not evangelical. These preachers have airplanes, huge houses, boats, Rolls and all this comes from the poor people they frighten to death about the "end times because of muslims".
They got huge groups of poor and "low information voters" to attend their rock palaces, they showed them a good time and they told them how to vote. Ted Haggard and many other of these preachers bragged about the great rock concert they provided each Sunday, along with sexy singers and a sexy show. They told people with low to no self esteem how important they were. If you ask one of them they will tell you they are "Soldiers for God". These hucksters were the first people in their lives to make them feel important. Google "cult and evangelical" and see what you get. Google "cult and registered offender" and you will see how safe their children were. What makes me mad (along with the lying and danger to America) is that they do and buy all this without paying TAXES. If we made them pay taxes we could retire the national debt.
This issue is separation of church and state. Evangelicals think that they should be one and the same. They think that only Christianity should be taught as the way humans came to be. They can't believe in science... it contradicts the exact way they interpret the Bible. How scary is this? Right now in Texas this is what they teach in the public schools. The problem is Texas is so big that their text books are distributed all over the nation. They can't afford a printing for every state.
Like all fundamentalism everywhere, throughout history, they are the cause of most war.The Bush administration TORTURED people to find weapons of mass destruction, not Bin Laden. How stupid did they think we were? We shoed them in the 2008 election. Now they think they can sell their bull again. Go hang out with your prostitutes and lying evangelicals and leave the American people alone.
Wow... after I published this I got a lot of comments trying to convince me that Bush did look for him, that he believed him to be dead... did look in some places for him...such like that.... I was not trying to be funny. There is nothing funny about thousands of our soldiers dying in a war started over faux "weapons of mass destruction". But I was being a bit tongue in cheek about the Ritz part... Sincerely, thank you all for reading and commenting though... I learned quite a lot and it was interesting.
