Washington Times jumps the shark on bin Laden and Obama

:puke:
"Shortly after taking office," he said, "I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the capture or death of Osama Bin Laden the highest priority of the war on terror." But of course this had been a high priority since shortly after September 11, 2001. "I want justice," President George W. Bush said on September 17. "And there's an old poster out West� I recall, that said, 'Wanted, Dead or Alive.'"

And half a year later: "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." - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

7. And half of our nation has been brain-washed by a century of

Republican propaganda and lies, and these people believe the Pubs.

2. Yeah....this revisionist shit has to stop.

Bush had no interest in going after OBL. Lets not forget that Bush gave safe passage to the bin Laden family out of the US immediately after 9/11 and then gave safe passage to AQ out of Tora Bora before they rearranged the rocks on the mountains. Instead of giving Bush any credit, we should be asking why he seemed to have no interest in bringing the real terrorist network to justice.

4. The Washington Times is not, and has never been (I think) a credible paper

6. NOTE: Wikiquotes says this quotation is probably fake.

See http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:George_W._Bush

Progressives are (again) losing the race to "correct" official history.
