Bush Apologizes For Targeting Bin Laden
President Bush just apologized for vowing to get Osama bin Laden “dead or alive.” Apparently, Bush thinks vowing to neutralize the architect of the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor sends “the wrong signal.” What a freakin’ wuss.
No wonder that bin Laden clown's still sending out messages to his followers -- Hell, he might as well have his own cable channel -- President Bush just surrendered.
First, President Bush refused to use the elite US Tenth Mountain Division at Tora Bora and allowed bin Laden to escape. Then he says, "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." Then he invades Iraq. What the Hell?
Next thing you know, Bush is coming out with this defeatist talk about the war on terror, "I don’t think you can win it," and now, in a move that would shame even the French, he apologized for going after that terrorist and murderer, bin Laden, in the first place.
I thought it was a little goofy to use the term "dead or alive," but I was with him all the way in spirit. I was proud that President Bush moved so swiftly to exact righteous vengeance on al Qaeda... Five years later, our troops are mired down in Iraq, we're looking at a shooting war with Iran, bin Laden is still in Pakistan (kibitzing over the moussaoui verdict, no less), and President Bush says going after him was a mistake.
How the Hell did this Republican surrender-monkey ever get re-elected?
