Default What did Bin Laden Want?????

Infidels out of Saudi and $75 dollar oil. What did Bush give him besides those two things? The chance to escape Tora Bora and continued sanctuary in Pakistan. Who is the bitch here? For those who believe there is a free market controlling the price of oil just tell it to the conspiracy theorists. Maybe they'll believe you.

Nobody has said that a free market controls oil prices. It is the cartel of OPEC that has the most influence on oil prices. You don't have to be a CT to know this, just a basic understanding of economics will do.

What difference does it make what bin Laden wanted? He was a nobody in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government made it clear what they wanted. U.S. oil companies were invited to stay in Saudi Arabia and bin Laden lost his citizenship and was told to never return.

As for his escape from Tora Bora, if you think you can do a better job than our troops of capturing the evil one, then feel free at any time to haul your butt over there and do it. If you choose not to be a part of that solution, then stop being a part of that problem by ridiculing the job our brave troops are attempting to do. You have NO idea what they're up against over there and making such comments makes YOU the bitch here.

The difference is he got what he wanted and is playing Bush like a fiddle. Who is the bitch here. Get ready for the next pre-election Bin Laden video. Just in time to attempt to keep the Bush Regime in power to continue down this stupid path we're on. Sure as falling oil prices.

OPEC has ultimate control of the oil prices, not US oil companies. Maybe you are talking about gas prices instead, which are different. Gas prices rise in the summer and after summer they tend to fall. Just like virtually every other year regardless as to whether there is an election or not.

Bin-Laden's organization has already said there would be a video released. It is claimed that another 9/11 scenario is in the works. They have announced it already, of course some of the morons out there will downplay this and say it is not a threat. Maybe even you will.

Yeah we know, bin Laden isn't a threat. He's just a character the bad old Bush administration made up to get in power and stay there. Bush hit the towers, the Afghanistan taliban was no threat, Iraq's Hussein was no threat, Iran's Ahmadinejad is no threat, there are no threats anywhere in the world including all those places where our troops are getting accidentally killed by non-threatening peace loving dudes.

And it's all about oil.

Is that better?
