Does it really matter where/who gathered the intel or where it was controlled from? The fact remains that the intel gathered through Bush's presidency contributed greatly to UBL's death.

There is no proof of this. They THOUGHT that UBL MIGHT have been in Tora Bora but were not 100% sure. There are conflicting reports and theories but to this day they still don't know if he was there for sure. Just as we were about to crush the al Queda they negotiated a truce with the Afghan fighters that allowed them time to surrender their weapons. This probably allowed UBL to escape. Also during this 'truce' US soldiers were ready to advance on al Queda forces and the Afghans drew their weapons on the soldiers forcing a 12 hour delay in the action. They later saw who they thought was UBL enter a cave and called in bombing runs. They destroyed the cave system but couldn't confirm if UBL was there or not.

Looks like the Pentagon supported this action to me.

Ah, the left's talking point yet again. These remarks that Bush supposedly made were cherry picked and presented completely out of context. How about looking in to where these remarks came from and what else was said. (Hint: they are from a 2003 WH press conference)

Clinton?? Wasn't he the one who shot 66 cruise missiles at UBL and missed?? It was also Clinton that pressured Sudan to oust UBL and that's how he landed in Afghanistan.

What is so hard to understand that it wasn't JUST intel gathered during Obama that got UBL? It was that combined with intel gathered over the last 10+ years.

More of the lefty rhetoric. Bush and Chaney were war criminals and traitors. Give it a rest. If Obummer had been in office, or any other bleeding heart liberal for that matter, UBL would still be alive and most if not all of the terrorists we have captured or killed would still be running around.

Again, you have no clue.  Yes it mattered who did the intel and none of the intel from cheney/bush helped.  The only credit cheney/bush deserve is their traitorous acts as commander in thief.  I really don't feel like arguing with you as you have no access to the truth, as a fox adherent, and have no idea what really happened.  Cheney/bush were failures, should be in jail and no amount of bullshit from you will change that, nor the fact they failed (after giving up) to get UBL and Obama did and that just crawls right up you nazi muther fucker's assess, doesn't it?

It's really sad that you hate Bush so much that you can't even be honest with yourself nor see the facts as they are.

Everyone, including Obummers administration admits that the intel gathered during Bush's administration was instrumental in finding and killing UBL. Everyone except for Obummer himself that is. Hell, even Pelosi called Bush to thank him.

You condemn Bush and co. for what they did but give Obummer and co. a free pass for doing pretty much the same things.

  Squawker since you hate Obama, Pelosi and Reed, please tell what bit of intelligentsia's  :spooked: the George W. circus provided.

  You sure are smart.  I hate that dumbass George W. Bush and the Republican like I have never hated anything before.  The hate goes to the marrow of my bones.  Their evil, they could be the Antichrist if I believed all that bullshit.

  Besides screwing up America economically and killing and murdering over 4,500 of our young men and women and the people trapped in the Twin Towers 9/11.  Plus over 30,000 so wounded, so badly they will never be functional again.  Permanently brain damaged and crippled with many missing limbs, eyes and burnt to a cinder with no skin or ears or fingers or toes.  That the main two hates I have for George W. and the Republican Party. 

  But the direct hurt, he cost me $63,000 in  his con-game stock market.  The same stock market he wanted to put our Social Security in.  He fuck millions of people out of Trillions on dollars.  I could go on how much I hate the Teabagging Republican Party and George W.  If you want any more reasons, let me know.  Fuck all of them. :finger2:  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :rant:

I thought this was fairly straight forward but I forgot what group I was talking to.

Here, maybe this will be a bit easier on your little brains:
"If Obummer had been in office Instead of Bush, or any other bleeding heart liberal for that matter, UBL would still be alive and most if not all of the terrorists we have captured or killed would still be running around."

Your first mistake, thinking, it's apparently not something you're used to or comfortable with. This fact is evidenced by the fact that you obviously "think" bastardizing Obama's name is clever and the cliche "bleeding heart liberal" is cutting. The last, but quite humorous bit of evidence is the way you keep trotting out a hypothetical as if it actually supports your point. :biggrin:

  Since you are a birther, I don't want to muddy your thinking.  No, I am not a truther.  George W. and the Republican Party couldn't possibly have pulled something like this in the time frame of the event.  They are not nowhere that smart.

  They would fuck up a wet dream.  But they sure sat on their ass when they were told about Bin Laden's plan to fly plane into buildings and Arabs taking flying lessons and they didn't want to  know how to land of take off the plane.  Just how to fly it.  :flap:  :flap:

  When I took flying lessons and I got my pilot's licence.  Taking off and landing was a very important part of flying an airplane.  Of course you don't need a licence to fly.  You're so right wing, all you could do is fly circles and go nowhere.  :biggrin:

  Again the Republicans are caught with their pants down, like so many time before.

  General Motors has almost set a record since the came out of bankruptcy.  They made billions in in profit in the first quarter.  Also GM has invested $3.4 Billion in the U.S plants and 9,000 high paying jobs.  Henry that ain't chicken feed.  Also Chrysler is making money and going to pay back their loans next year and General Motors is not far behind.   Talk about Moorooons!  The bird brain boys.  How in hell can these boys be wrong so many time.  It's a wonder they haven't forgot how to breath.  They have already stop :stop: thinking.  I say these boys, I say boys can you hear me. Sons you're really SLOW.  Hee, hee, hee.

  But we have several  people on this Zone who didn't want to save the American auto companies.  Henry and NightSquawk.  Just think how unAmerican that would be not to save two of our greatest assets.  One of reasons they have UAW union workers in them.  These children are so right wing that if they attempted to fly their huge right wing at take off would turn them sharply to the right and over on their backs to one hell of a crash.  Hee, hee, hee.

  Them boys are probably unhappy that Old Feeble  John Mc Cain and his dummy Sarah Palin didn't win and really wreak this country.  They sure don't wish for Obama and the Democrats any sucess in turning around George W. pile of shit, the economy, he left us.   :yes: :yes: :kiss:

I'm a birther?? Since when? And by what are you basing this on?

You may not be a truther in the strictest sense of the word, but you do have LIHOP leanings.

Let's see, you say that Bush & co. sat on their asses even though they 'knew about bin Laden's plans to fly planes into buildings'. I have researched this fairly well and at best they knew of two of the hijackers before 9/11. One was mentioned by a field agent in a memo that never got to Bush. The second was Moussaoui who was mentioned in an August 15, 2001 report, less than a month before 9/11 but investigations into him were blocked by the justice department. Again, Bush was never informed.

As long as you're finger pointing why not look into all the warnings and reports that were done during Clinton's administration? He (they) had just as many if not more than Bush's administration but they did nothing about it either for fears of upsetting the aviation business.

Even with that, neither administration had any concrete information that pointed to how, where or when the attacks would take place. It's easy to sit back after the fact and say "if we would have done this or acted on that, the attacks would never have happened." Hindsight is 20/20 you know.

that is great that GM is showing a profit. I will hold any major applause until the government sells all of their stock. Of course, at today's stock prices for GM, the taxpayers stand to lose about 11 Billion on this deal. We'll just have to wait and see.

When are you going to start bitching about GM's 45.4 Billion dollar tax exemption that they get for being a TARP company?

  When did you become a Birther, the same time  you said I was a Truther.  I never heard you say that you knew that Obama was an American. :doah:

  The new head of the the Republican Party said, that if the economy was still bad at election time Obama couldn't be elected.  Now just watch the Republicans destroy what is left of the shitty economy George left us with.  They  will do anything to win and I do mean anything to win.  The Crafty Bastards.  :devil29:

  Giving  American car company tax breaks. I rather do that than give bonus to foreign oil companies.  Like the Dutch, British, and the Mexican oil companies.  You're a true Teabagging Republican, nothing for the middle class business men, but all of the money the rich and oil companies can stand.  Another stupid person who's head could break a hammer. :biggrin:
