Why is he still around?

Why the fuck is he making videos?

Anyone who thinks this is good for Bush is an idiot.

In the single worst week for Bush since 9/11, Bush's rank incompetence has exploded. Hundreds of tons of highly deadly explosives spread around the country, killing Americans.

The Lancet accusing the US of killing 100,000 Iraqis in 18 months.

Halliburton being investigated by the FBI.

Rudy Giuliani blaming the troops like he used to blame black parents when the cops shot their kids.

Now, OBL coming back to remind people he's not dead, not caught and is, in fact, looking tan, fit and rested.

Transcript of Al Jazeera Tape

"He (Bush) adopted despotism and the crushing of freedoms from Arab rulers and called it the Patriot Act under the guise of combating terrorism.....

....................

"It never occurred to us that the commander in chief of the American forces (Bush) would leave 50,000 citizens in the two towers to face those horrors alone at a time when they most needed him because he thought listening to a child discussing her goat and its ramming was more important than the planes and their ramming of the skyscrapers. This had given us three times the time needed to carry out the operations, thanks be to God...

Not only does he mock Bush for the ineffective Patriot Act, but he claims Bush's incompetence on 9/11 caused more people to die. In fact, he's saying he was surprised Bush was so fucking weak and stupid.

And rational people think Karl Rove came up with this?

You think Rove wants to remind people of this?

And Danielle Pletka responds by accusing Michael Moore of treason. I hope she has a good libel lawyer. Who knew F 9/11 would be that powerful?

The Bushies looked poleaxed. They were stunned. Kerry was not.

And idiots like Andy Sullivan thinks Americans will reward Bush's incompetance with election.

The ONLY question worth asking is this: why the fuck is this assclown still alive?

Why is Osama making tapes? Why can he taunt the US?

Even if you accepted the idiotic argument that Iraq was part of the war on terror, the absolute bungling there, like 380 tons of high grade military explosive stolen under the nose of the US Army, means we're failing there as well. Since George Bush has been president, a terrorist who kills 3,000 Americans is neither in jail or dead, 1100 American troops are dead, and the Taliban still terrorize Afghanistan. If there is a war on terror, being waged, as the Bushies say "on offense", it's a shitty offense, because it's not scoring a lot of points? For a man on the run, OBL seems real relaxed. He didn't seem worried about a SWAT team killing his ass.

Bush has failed his own American test. The US is in a quagmire in Iraq and Osama is still free. Americans die horribly every week in Iraq. They are maimed and wounded while their attackers escape retribution. And Osama is still free. Americans die in the Hindu Kush. And Osama is still free. Three years into World War II, Berlin was a smoldering ruin and most of the Japanese Navy was at the bottom of the Pacific. Three years into Korea, the South had been saved. Three years into Vietnam, the NVA had been broken in a series of battles from January to May, 1968.

Yet, three years into the war on terror, Afghanistan is the opium capital of the world, Iraq is anarchic and Osama is still free. How is this a success? How is this winning the war on terror?

Bush has failed as commander in chief. Our enemies laugh at him over the graves of 3,000 dead. He cannot catch him, he cannot stop him. No matter what cheap words he says.
