So how is the hunt for Osama Going? Havene't heard much about it lately. The operations in Afganistan focusing on Osama have been disbanded in favor of spending every dime on Iraq. They're taking Marshals off of airline flights because the hotels are too expensive. They need a couple billion a day to look for Saddam. Of course Saddam, outside of the wars we've started with him, hasn't killed a single American. Osama did. Thousands in fact. I don't even think any Al Qaida members are Iraqis (of course this might change now that we're so immensely popular there). Actually most of them are Saudis and Pakitanis. But that's classified... for our own good you know, so don't you worry your little head over such things. Dub'yas got it all under controll, so much so that a month-long vacation is in order, no?

Where's Osama? Who is looking for him?

That is quite stupid, indeed. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get into a lot of trouble for that. If I were a moderator I'd edit the post.

What news story has said the operation has been disbanded?

What I have been hearing is that, according to analysts who claim to know what intelligence agencies suspect, or from such agencies themselves, that Osama is in the northern province of Pakistan. The politics are sensitive there. The Pakiistani Intelligence Agency, which I think is known as the ISI or ISA, may even be aiding Osama, but that may have changed, assuming it was ever true.

The Martial story has conflicting reports. I do not know what's going on. I think it might be that the Transportation Security Agency has asked to have the funds cut back, for whatever reason, and that some air marshalls may be removed from flights. That could mean some flights will carry none, or it could mean fewer air martials per flight, and that the Department of Homeland Security denies that they are getting rid of the marshall, or denies they're doing it to the extent some think. But I may be in error.
 
I just removed it. He can make a new one that's less violent and controversal.

I heard that a group called Task Force Eleven, in Afganistan, who's primary job it was to hunt down Bin Laden, was disbanded. It was not an official story, but rather a comment made by a panelist used to bolster an argument he was making. Apparently the reason for this is due to the fact that all the money is getting funnelled to Iraq, and a new Task Force, Tenty Two, who's job it is to hunt down Saddam, who hasn't ever killed an American outside of war.

And if Bin Laden is in Pakistan, why won't the Bush adminstration play hard-ass like they did with Afganistan? It just makes Bush seem lik even more of a liar than I already thought he was. Where is the war on terror going? What has been accomplished? Are we any safer than we were on 9/11/01? It seems to me that our economy has stagnated, our military is spread too thin, N. Korea is threatening to make nuclear bombs or sell the material to the highest bidder, and Bil Laden is still at large almost three years later. Meanwhile Bush is spending a couple billion dollars a day to have a few soldiers killed daily.

It's not good. Are we better of? No.
 
Talentless did some modding? Holy hell, what I said must have been more serious than I thought.

Score!
 
I didn't want the controversy. I don't know what I'd do if you repeated it. Or if anyone else said it, aside from confering with Jordan and the other moderators about the issue. Ironically, few would care if you said the same of a despot.

Osama's an expense at this point. He doesn't have any oil or natural resources that we could use, so what good is he except for revenge. Maybe the administration is waiting until there is better financial reasons to hit Osama...

Like maybe when he costs the US a few hundred million in damage the next time his organization strikes, not to mention the ongoing economic consequences.

Because Pakistan has nuclear weapons, and is seen as a pro-western islamic state.

Also, if he is in Pakistan, he's likely to be in the northern areas of the country, and the Pakistani government doesn't have much control up there.
 
you can tell that none of you on here have ever been in the military and or have never had anyone in your immediate family in. I have been in the military for 3 1/2 years now, and the rest of my unit is in Iraq right now, so don't tell me that we are over there wasting time money and people. furthermore task force 11 is still together and still lookin for bin laden, and yes there is a task force 22 and they are lookin for hussein, who happens to be a much bigger threat to us than any of you will ever realize, his power and ability to control the masses makes so much more dangerous than anyone we have faced, other than hitler. take it form someone who talks to his buddies in the desert every day, don't belive anything that you see on MSNBC, or anything that you hear on CNN or FOX News!!
 
two gulf wars later and the Bush's couldnt get Hussain...theyre not gonna get him now....as for Bin Laden, he is long gone....there will be no WOMD either...the whole campain was botched by the America Administration....

American and Allied troops are dying every day innocent Afghans and Iraqi's are being butchered every day also....this war was a massive fcuk up
 
Or, perhaps, they have just stopped talking about the search so Geraldo can't tell the whole world exactly where we're looking.
By letting it fade from the news, it SEEMS to be "back burner" stuff. If Osama, and for that matter Saddam thinks we have DE-intensified the search for them, they may be more likely to raise thier heads high enough from the holes they are hiding in, to take a nice solid hit from a Barret .50 cal Sniper rifle.

Seen as?

Pervez Musharraf: "The people are with me, and the ones who aren't are idiots." Pervez likes President Bush.

By the way - does everybody know that the day of the power outage in the east, the US captured the head of al~Qaeda in Southeast Asia? I prefer to call it 'al~Qaeda's southeast branch,' but either way, I'm sure vat_man will sleep better knowing he's behind bars - or chains - or whatever.

Considering that 42 British troops have lost their life in Iraq so far, I think you should "shut the **** up."

i know,

this guy is supposedly out there in Iraq and had absolutely no idea that Britian was Americas biggest ally and is indeed fighting right there beside the Americans....

is this the quality of American troops in Iraq or is it just a one off spaz? (no offence to any intellegent American who knows that the UK was heavily involved in the Iraq wars, the first and the second)

:)

He was in Iraq? News to me - I'd think if any US troop was in Iraq they'd at least know that Britain had thousands of troops with us, though I'd bet that the US was alone in some parts of Iraq, not like that's an excuse.

yes, your right...he didnt say he was actually in Iraq ...i misread what he posted....

the size of the British contingent of the western forces in Iraq is small compared to American, there is no doubt....but we did caputre several key cities single handed such as the port of Umm Qasr in the south...he should have read that in the news

...especially if he cares how the rest of his unit is doing. Britain has indeed been a very big help in this war, and Prime Minister Blair has stuck his reputation on the line for us - it doesn't go un-noticed here in the US.

:p

Until just now, between your sig and your, unique post, I wasn't sure where your politics fell.

Glad we cleared that up...:confused:

Actually, I think that if you keep up you might make a difference.

I guess this is all reminding me why I wouldnt mind some random fella with a (D) next to his name- to shut up "this population of people."

I dont think Im really gonna be involved with this thread, just putting in two cents while I wait for the results to my weekly comp... Plus debates are never fun when the other sides are about as predictable and cliched as an episode of gilligan's island.

Like me milefile is mostly liberal but conservative on one of few major issues that matter (universal healthcare). The fact that Democrats continue to push this as if it were the single truth shows just how left the party's become.
