Bush Intentionally Lost bin Laden

I've been saying this for a very long time, for many of the same reasons. Iraq was certainly one of the reasons, but it can't have been the only one. Read the PNAC Document. Certainly, it had been a Neocon wet-dream for decades to re-order the middle east to better suit U.S. interests, as they saw them. 


One must also factor in the Bush family ties to the bin Laden family; financial ties that go way back. W, himself, was bailed out, financially, by Salim bin Laden, Osama's eldest brother. 


It would be very difficult to create another boogie man quite like Osama; super-wealthy, religious fanatic and madman who declared war on the U.S. for purposes of scaring the American people apparently witless.

Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) on Monday accused former President George W. Bush of “intentionally” letting Osama bin Laden escape during the American invasion of Afghanistan.  “Look what happened with regard to our invasion into Afghanistan, how we apparently intentionally let bin Laden get away,” Hinchey said during an interview on MSNBC. “That was done by the previous administration because they knew very well that if they would capture al Qaeda, there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq,” the Democratic congressman continued. “There’s no question that the leader of the military operations of the U.S. called back our military, called them back from going after the head of al Qaeda.” When host David Shuster followed up to ask if Hinchey really thought Bush “deliberately let Osama bin Laden get away,” the congressman responded: “Yes, I do.”  “I don’t think it will strike a lot of people as crazy. I think it’ll strike a lot of people as being very accurate,” Hinchey said. “All you have to do is look at the exact circumstances and see that’s exactly what happened.”  “When our military went in there, we could have captured [the Taliban],” he insisted. “But we didn’t. And we didn’t because of the need felt by the previous administration, and the previous head of the military, that need to attack Iraq.”
