Bush Keeps Bin Laden Legacy Alive

Tweet

French President Jacques Chirac said Saturday that information contained in a leaked intelligence document raised the possibility that Osama bin Laden may have died.

"According to a usually reliable source, Saudi security services are now convinced that Osama bin Laden is dead," said the intelligence report.

There have been periodic reports of bin Laden's illness or death in recent years but none has been proven accurate.
According to this report, Saudi security services were pursuing further details, notably the place of his burial.

"The chief of al-Qaeda was a victim of a severe typhoid crisis while in Pakistan on August 23, 2006," the document says. His geographic isolation meant that medical assistance was impossible, the French report said, adding that his lower limbs were allegedly paralyzed.

The report further said Saudi security services had their first information on bin Laden's alleged death on Sept. 4.
"Today, bin Laden is certainly not in Afghanistan," Bentegeat said. "No one is completely certain that he is even alive."

Its no secret that President Bush has very close ties with the Saudi royals and no doubt was informed of Bin Ladens possible demise before Sept. 4th.

President Bush has rarely spoken about Bin Laden. Yet on the 5th, Bush came out with a detailed and rambling speech warning Americans about Al Qaeda and quoting Bin Laden repeatedly almost in the past tense, reminding us of the terror leaders goals, AS IF HE WERE DEAD. Assuming for a moment that IF Bush knew he was dead, why does he want to keep the bin Laden legacy alive?

Bush speech excerpts:
Will we pay attention to what these evil men say? America and our coalition partners have made our choice. We're taking the words of the enemy seriously. We're on the offensive, and we will not rest, we will not retreat, and we will not withdraw from the fight, until this threat to civilization has been removed.

Despite these strategic setbacks, the enemy will continue to fight freedom's advance in Iraq, because they understand the stakes in this war. Again, hear the words of bin Laden, in a message to the American people earlier this year. He says: "The war is for you or for us to win. If we win it, it means your defeat and disgrace forever."

Here is what al Qaeda says they will do if they succeed in driving us out of Iraq: The terrorist Zawahiri has said that al Qaeda will proceed with "several incremental goals. The first stage: Expel the Americans from Iraq. The second stage: Establish an Islamic authority or amirate, then develop it and support it until it achieves the level of Caliphate… The third stage: Extend the jihad wave to the secular countries neighboring Iraq. And the fourth stage: …the clash with Israel."
