Bush ALLOWED bin Laden to ESCAPE Tora Bora... and yet cowardly Democrats stand in line to polish Bush's "war on terra Great Leader" boots.
Bush ALLOWED bin Laden to ESCAPE Tora Bora... and yet the cowardly Democrats stand in line to polish Bush's "war on terra Great Leader" boots and supplicate themselves to the latest Rove-Cheney-Bush talking points and endless Iraq canon-fodder quagmire. How sad, pathetic, and awful for America... the "Opposition Party" is no more than a treacherous debate body with orders from AIPAC to ROLL OVER for EVERY BushCo atrocity, including torture, kangaroo courts to blame female privates for FOLOWING THE ORDERS of the Rumsfeld's TORTURE GENERALS, etc., etc., etc., ad naseum.

Bush Cuts And Runs At Tora Bora, Helps Bin Laden Escapes, Now Blames America for Iraq

Scratch what a neocon says, and we often find the exact opposite of the truth. They dodge the draft or shirk their service, then attack war heroes of the other party. They dont give the troops enough armor, helmets and bandages then say they always listen to the commanders. They try to cut airport screeners for liquid bombs, then tell us not
to drink the bottled water
The President takes the cake for his campaign press conference yesterday, misuing the Whtie House podium for a partisan politcal speech.
First, lets get this straight: it was the President who did the cut and run at Tora Bora and might as well have driven Bin Laden's getaway car.
Imagine being Bin Laden and his henchmen at Tora Bora, and we monitored some of his calls at the time. Bombs bursting above their heads, the United States military closing in for the kill, the commanders and special forces on the ground pleading for the cavalry to come in with reinforcements to finish off the killer of 9-11.
There was Bin Laden, about to enter Paradise, apologizing to his henchmen for leading them into a trap in what he thought were his final hours.
And there was George W Bush, the cutter and runner in chief, and his neoconservative brain trust, saying no to the commanders, saying no to the special forces, saying no reinforcements and saying no killing Bin Laden.
Imagine this: as Bush refused to reinforce and Bin Laden got away with his escape, Osama and his henchmen must have been giving each other high fives that his enemy cutting and running, while Bush, Rove and the neocons were giving each other high fives that they would finally get the war in Iraq they hungered for, just in time for the elections.
So who cuts and who runs?
Meanwhile the President joins the blame America first crowd, talking about the American people having some kind of psyhological trauma over Iraq, as though there is something wrong with the American people.
Lets get this straight, too: the American people simply know what failed policy looks like, and they know a deadly bad deal when they hear one.
Here is the deadly bad deal the President offered the people yesterday. Sure, more than two thousand six hundred Americans have been lost. Yes, Iraq is degenerating into major sectarian war. Of course, much of our money has been stolen or wasted. And no doubt, major damage has been done to our global military force structure that will take many years to undo. But the President says we gotta keep doing this until he leaves office, and everybody should vote Republican in November..... or the result of his terrible failures, will be that terrible failures get more terrible.
When people react to this with disapproval, he accuses the people of being psychologically traumatized!
Kinda seems to me the people are pretty smart about this, and the psychological trauma comes from those who hungered, yearned, lobbied and campaigned for this war, for more than a decade, and didn't have a clue about how to plan it and fight it. The only thing they knew how to do, was to demean the Chief of Staff of the Army when he warned them, then use this war for electioneering partisanship.
If you agree with the President that we need two more years of what we've had, and that anyone who disagrees has psychological trauma, vote Republican. If you think we need change and a better way, a Democratic Congress is the perfect place to start.
