I think you will find polls that show that a very large percentage of the Islamic population supports OBL & his cause. By this standard, he wins. I don't think Moonbeam meant to say that, I mean that would mean admitting someone is mroe teh eval than Bush, but that's the case.

I personally think the war is justified purely for the oil extraction business once that takes place.

Did you post in the "summarize your belief system in one line" thread? I'd really be curious to see what you have to see. Based on your recent posts it would seem your belief system is: kill and steal and don't feel bad about it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Bush isn't smart enough to be evil :p

What Bush has let happen to this country over the past 4 years is evil... (puts on flame suit)

I try to exercise caution in the use of my words to try as best I can to say what I mean. I try to think how what I say might be understood. Naturally I am not perfect and can easily make mistakes. This was not one of them. I said what I said with the full awareness that there are many many people who call themselves Muslims that believe as Osama does. One problem here though is that Osama is not the single source teacher of Wahabism. He is just another of disciple I believe. Of course Bush also didn't invent PNAC.

I guess I have to spell it out for you. :roll: I'm not sure if OBL had the final say on 911. If you have a link, link it. Then I'll tally up 3,000 in OBL's column.

Come on, man. That view just crosses the line, IMO. *shakes head*

It depends on how you define evil. In terms of people who have died, Bush has caused more.
Well in that case, Infotroll, then Bush isn't responsible for Iraq. he didn't finance it, and he didn't plan it. The current obsession with him needs to stop. :D

A -> B doesn't mean B -> A.

The Reflexive Property states otherwise. :)

I'm not so sure. Put aside what you believe for a moment and focus on what you really know. While I'm inclined to believe OBL was behind 9/11, I realize this belief was formed mostly from information provided by the Bush administration. As we know now too well, the Bush administration is capable of distorting information to match its agenda. I can't honestly say I know OBL was behind 9/11. All I can say is I assume he was based on possibly misleading information.

That raises interesting questions. Does anyone have links to independent sources of information corroborating the OBL-9/11 link? Can we determine the level and extent of his involvement? If it wasn't OBL, who else would have the motive and means to attack like that?

Before the YABAs rush in to attack after ignoring most of what I said, let me be crystal clear. I do believe Osama bin Laden was directly connected to 9/11. I am objective enough, however, to recognize there is a chance I was manipulated into holding that belief.

Did bush get credit for stopping the UN Oil For Bribes Program that was directly repsonsible for the death of over 10,000 Iraqis a month during it's glorious corrupt tenure? How long has it been since we removed Saddam, at 10,000+ a month I think bush is way ahead. Does he get extra credit for not restoring, but giving, certain liberties and freedoms any normal human being would kill or die for to 25,000,000 plus people, MOST of which never enjoyed any basic human rights at all.

I wish I could give Senior OleMamaAsshat (OSBL) credit for personally flying a plane into a building, but hes a coward, those that actually do his dirty work are at least brave enough to die for their beliefs.

Would you agree the 9/11 attack was an attempt to cause maximum harm to as many innocent people as possible? How many innocent people do you think Bush COULD kill if he used the best option available to him under that pretext? Has he, do you see the difference yet?

BTW you are forgetting a tremendous amount of lives OSBL and his minions have taken in multiple acts around the globe.....

BTW THE BELOW POST IS SARCASM, intended to remind the masses of the intentional EVIL acts certain people have employed to kill innocent people.






Don't bother to answer that question, your in Utah. I plan on taking over Utah soon, I have enough weapons now. I'll just throw you in the wood chopper after I rape your wife in front of you and behead your son....

Not exactly sure of the EXACT number of people killed by AQ or EXACT number of attacks, are you not aware of their "work"??????

I would have to say that as leader of AQ he would be responsible for all of them, just as Hitler was responsible for every holocaust victim......

You don't have to be exact.

Also, it seems like most of the attacks are by groups with only a loose collection to bin laden. It doesn't seem like there's much of a chain of command.

So the 9/11 report wasn't good enough for you...

Yes, it could have been the Trilateral comission.

Fine, well call them loosely affiliated franchises then, lol, WTF is your point? OK, ya convinced me, Bush is more evil than OSBL if you can prove Bush instructed his military to intenionally kill any innocent people. I'll give you 5 minutes......
