OBL & CIA
National Review ^ | 7-04-06 | James S. Robbins

So CIA analysts concluded that Osama bin Laden wanted George Bush to win the 2004 election, and this is why he released a video tape just days before the election? If true, this is just more evidence that the spy agency needs a thorough cleaning.

Why is the CIA putting resources towards something like this instead of working to find terrorists?

Why are these types of people even in the CIA who would put together a "report" like this?

The same ones who would leak vital national secrets to the NY crimes.

I have heard this theory for weeks on AirAmerika..but, I just thought it was the same looney tunes, that still say that a plane did NOT hit the Pentagon.

I didn't know the CIA was actually pushing this ridiculous thought..

Get rid of them...and start over. Anyone that was there before 2001...out!

The CIA needs to be abolished and replaced with something built from the ground up over a peroid of 10 years.

"The Agency" is a joke because The Agency is populated by nitwit Stalinist fruicakes from our elite universities.

They generally work for the other side - or they're too stupid to understand that America really isn't North Korea.

These people are like college freshmen shooting sh!t in the dorm.

They have lost all respect and are becoming a laughingstock.

Whatever a laughingstock is.

The CIA, together with The New York Slimes, Al Quaeda's best friends in America.
The BJ Klinton legacy continues to haunt America.

What was his name Occam, was it Occam's razor?

We all had known up until now that one of the problems in waging the war against terror is that our enemy does not have a firm grip on reality including but not limited to natural science, economics, and a basic understanding of America, or the whole Western world.

Now the question arises whether the anti-Bush cabal in the CIA or crazed Islamists have a weaker hold on reality?

Agree.
The CIA is beyond repair.
Time to liquidate that treasonous outfit.
The current CIA people spend 90% of their time leaking classified national security secrets to The Slimes, so they can pass it on to their Al Quaeda pals, and the rest of their time trashing America.

And now word comes that the Agency is disbanding the dedicated bin Laden team? Under the circumstances that sounds like a very good move.

My thoughts exactly when I read the team was being disbanded. If they couldn't get it done in the ten years the agency admits the team existed, there is no reason to think they can get it done in another ten years.

I hadn't realized that the Agency was thinking that OBL wanted the president to win in '04. Honestly, what is in the water at the CIA that they would come up with such nonsense.

The history of NYT and CIA people hanging out together apparently goes back to the 50s/60s according to some of the on-line history of the NYT.

We know that the DBM is used to having inside sources for their "news" instead of actually covering/researching topics on their own. With W, the DBM has been forced to run more targeted "polls" to create "news" along the lines they want to publish.

Do those on the left really believe that with the war Osama got what he wanted ....infadels in Afghanistan and Iraq wiping out the Taleban and Sadams regime?

I think Osama assumed we would be like the Russians and get totally bogged down

Shooting sh#t in the dorm is a great way of putting it, but you a witnessing how the left rewrites history.

This fictional script, this storyline of OBL vs Bush, and OBL being the winner, is exactly the template of leftwing elites who teach our children and write history books.

Bastards all.

First o all, why should we believe this nonsense? Where is the proof? Maybe we believe cause we want it to be true?

Second, some people that think that OBL is wise to the ways of our media while at the same time don`t believe that the terrorists are helped when the Murtha`s of this world open their mouths.

OBL certainly must have known his reemergence would have some effect, but it appears he made a miscalculation. It might be as simple as; "I'm still heeerrreeee.....W hasn't caught me. Vote for the other guys."

OBL probably knew that the "other guys" wouldn't do squat to catch him, but so did the voting public.
