Rumsfeld found it interesting that bin Laden not heard from in a year
http://www.southernstandard.net/news.php?viewStory=26636

Rumsfeld, who arrived Wednesday morning local time for an unannounced visit to Pakistan, said he found it interesting that bin Laden has not been heard from publicly in nearly a year.

"I don't know what it means," Rumsfeld told a group of reporters traveling with him. "I suspect that in any event, if he's alive and functioning that he's probably spending a major fraction of his time trying to avoid getting caught. I have trouble believing that he's able to operate sufficiently to be in a position of major command over a worldwide al-Qaida operation, but I could be wrong. We just don't know."

---------by gosh by golly that bin laden is one crafty super terrorist alrighty...

1. I find it interesting that whenever he does show up, he is always
spouting Bush talking points...

2. Operative statement here:
"...We just don't know."

Duh. Then why talk about it at all?

3. Hmmm he last showed up the weekend before the election
widely credited as being highly beneficial to Bush's election hopes.

Osama wanted Bush to win.

4. He'll probably show up if impeachment seems likely
I'm sure the only reason he hasn't attacked us is because of our strong leader. :sarcasm:

5. Gee rummy shouldn't you be feeling a little bad
for not getting your man. Good Law enforcement and DOD people always get their man.

You sir, sound like a failure. Of course I know that you are only pretending to Want Osama. He was allowed to escape on your watch.

Now take your unknown sh*t and get lost!

:evilfrown:
