What happened to justice? What happened to OBL? Bush needs to have his memory refreshed. Remember the day after 9-11 when W pranced about like a real "hero" at Ground Zero? He said we were going to go after OBL and smoke him out wherever he was, dead or alive. Fast forward several months when W said he didn't really think of OBL. WTF? I don't understand this sudden 180. Most people would not rest until they achieved justice on behalf of their murdered loved one.
I had serious misgivings about this whole "going after OBL" misadventure shortly after W announced we were "going" after him. For all his bluster and bullshi* at the time, the whole damned thing COULD have been avoided and here's how:
Bush demanded the Taliban turn OBL over. The Taliban said they would, but they wanted to "see" the evidence against him first. Maybe it wasn't a deliberate move on the part the Taliban, but it sure seemed to me that they called his bluff. W, much to his discredit, refused 'cause gosh darn it, he wasn't to negotiate with terrorists. Huh? OBL was billed as the "brain of al Quada" and the most evil person on the planet. It was the Taliban that responded -- we never heard that they were responsible for 9-11.
Anyway, THREE times the Taliban offered to turn OBL over, and three times W refused to do so. Call me a family values Christian, but I felt a surge of joy at first because I really thought that Bush would want to settle this as peacefully as possible and using diplomacy. Boy, did he fool me! Nope, the silver-spoon president was bound and determine to opt for death and not peace.
At any rate, what are we NOW to make of the disbanding of the CIA Team that was dedicated to OBL for the past few years? Guess what? One of the "witless" politically appointed cronies decided it wasn't necessary anymore. What happened? Do we already have OBL and they're not telling us? Are the deaths of almost 3,000 world citizens (not all those died at WTC were Americans) to be so contemptuously disregarded?
We have to remember that there were plenty of advanced warnings from intelligence -- both foreign and domestic -- that something big was on the horizon. They CHOSE to ignore it for the pursuit of their own ideologic agenda. We mustn't allow ourselves to be lulled into a false sense of security.
We can NOT trust Bushcabal. They have done nothing to warrant our respect. I have been told by some that I have to respect the Office of the President. Bull! I do not have to respect the Office of the President when its occupant is the total opposite of the values that inspire respect from me.
Everything that Bush stands for, I do not. I believe in peace, treating people with respect and dignity, minding my own business, live and let live, and trying to become a better person each and every day.
What are your thoughts?
