More rumblings of an idiot (A.K.A. George Bush)
Here are some choice ramblings of G.W. in his recent interview with Katie Couric. (in part can be seen here: http://movies.crooksandliars.com/CBS-Couric-Bush.mov)
One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.Uhhh.. I believe it, as I told you Osama Bin Laden believes it, but the American people have got to understand that a defeat in Iraq, in otherwords, if this government there fails, the terrorists will be emboldened, the radicals will topple moderate governments, I'm worried Katie, strongly worried about a world if we, i-i-i-if we lose , you know, our confidence and don’t help, uh, defeat this ideology, I’m worried that fifty years from now they’ll look back and say, “well how come Bush and everybody else didn’t see the fact that these that these group of people would use oil to effect our economy?”
I am not sure what point he was trying to make, I am however sure that he has been shown to be wrong regarding Iraq's connection to the terrorism (Osama specifically), the rest just does not make any sense.
In regards to Osama:
He’s always been dangerous, he’s always been dangerous.
And yeah we disrupted their safe have in Afghanistan and they want it back. Just like they want to have a safe haven in Iraq. That’s the struggle.
What struggle are we talking about here? It seems the struggle to capture bin Laden and put down the Taliban and Al Qaeda has been left for others.
And I thought the struggle in Iraq was about:
-First their involvement with 9/11 (proved not true)
-then, that Sadam was a threat to the U.S. because of his possession of WMD's (once again prov-en not true)
-and then it was finally about instilling a democracy in Iraq and securing the middle east while actually all that has happened is that
*the struggle in Iraq has recruited more individuals to Al Qaeda's cause
* it redirected the emphasis from Afghanistan to Iraq (allowing for the Taliban to make a resurgence)
*the worldwide perception of the US has been harmed
When asked, "why hasn't he been caught fiver years later" (in reference to Osama)
Yeah, no, that’s a good question, he’s hiding and we’re on the hunt…obviously.One thing is for certain though, he’s not moving like he used to. Another thing is is he’s, you know, not communicating like he used to. And, and we’ll get him. It’s just a matter of time.
I'd be interested to see him explain the concerted effort that is going into this endeavour. If they are aware that he's not moving like he used to, does that not imply that they know where he might be?
The good news for the American people is that we’re, we made a lot of progress in dismantling Al Queda, the Al Queda structure that ordered the attacks not only on the U.S.S Cole and our embassies, but o-o-on 9/11.
Does anyone believe this?
