No, Cohen came to the same conclusion as I did in that thread, yet you haven't said a word to him. That proves that your attack in disingenuous.
Hey juan, maybe you should brief the Senate Intelligence Committee on whether or not Osama is dead because they apparently have other ideas: U.S. Gaining on Bin Laden and Saddam, Senator Says Sun August 17, 2003 04:16 PM ET By Jim Wolf WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts said on Sunday the noose was tightening around both al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Roberts, who receives regular briefings on terror threats, said bin Laden apparently was hiding in a mountainous tribal region with peaks reaching 14,000 feet on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. "But that noose is tightening as well, as is the noose in regards to Saddam Hussein," said Roberts, a Kansas Republican. Roberts, speaking on CNN's Late Edition, said bin Laden was using couriers and other low-tech communications methods to evade U.S. signal-tracking technology. In Dubai, Arabic television channel Al Arabiya aired on Sunday what it said was an audio tape from an al Qaeda spokesman who said bin Laden was alive and well. Al Arabiya attributed the recording to Afghan-based Qaeda official Abdel Rahman al-Najdi, who also urged Iraqis to continue their jihad or "holy war" against the U.S. troops occupying their country. Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the tape or the identity of the speaker. The United States blames bin Laden, a Saudi exile, for the 1988 bombings of two embassies in East Africa, the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden, and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center that killed about 3,000 people. Saddam has been sought since U.S.-led forces invaded Iraq in March. Roberts hailed what he described as growing counter-terrorism cooperation from Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Thailand, where Southeast Asia's most-wanted terror suspect, Hambali, was captured early last week. Hambali had been hunted as a suspect in bombings at a Bali nightclub strip last year and a hotel bombing in Jakarta this month before his capture in Ayutthaya, about 50 miles north of Bangkok. "We are seeing the realization of many countries, the value of really cooperating with the United States, whether it's Afghanistan or Pakistan, or whether it's in the Mideast or whether it's in Southeast Asia," Roberts said. "And so, basically, we're making a lot of progress," Roberts said. Probably 60 percent of the al Qaeda leadership had been "taken down," he said. Roberts gave Saudi Arabia relatively high marks for its intelligence-sharing since a bombing attack on Western residential compounds in Riyadh in May killed 35 people, including nine attackers. "Ever since the Riyadh attacks and ever since they came to realize that their own government was threatened, I think they've been working much better with us," he said.
Yes, we found many "dual use" objects, and there was chemical residue in the Tigris. I believe, just as General Clark believes, that the WMD were sent to Syria and hidden in the desert. In my opinion, they will be found, if they haven't already been found. You think he is alive, and I think he is dead. Neither of us have proof, so this is not a point worth arguing. Clark WILL NOT be the Democrat nominee. His WMD stance disqualifies him. You will see.
That's not an answer. Did we find WMD's? yes or no. Ithink that's a yes, but I'm not sure. But the question is not, will we find them, or did we find dual use objects. I think he is alive, as does every intelligence agency that has spoken about it, you think he is dead...as does...umm....trader jorge maybe. I thought we already found WMD's according to you, so if Wesley thought they were there, and we already found them, then how does it disqualify him?
In my opinion, we did. We know there was residue from chemical weapons in the Tigris. We know that labs buried next to a munitions factory were mobile agricultural labs that could produce WMD. We know that nuclear components were ordered buried by Uday. That is enough for me. No, the Israelis think he is dead. If Bush and Blair make the blockbuster announcement of proof that is rumored, then Clark may have a chance to lose to Bush convincingly. If I am wrong, and no proof of a WMD is found over the next year, then Clark destroys that as an issue for the Democrats. I have typed this to you twice, so comprehend it this time please.
That's enough for you? I have a feeling that if the Bush Administration found a flaming bag of sh-t it would be enough for you. But that's a pretty lame "it depends on the definition of the word is is" type answer. You say yes, but your overriding concern about Wesley and the political capital he apparently can't gain from this issue belies the fact that the rest of the country apparently believes otherwise in your mind. Thank god for that. Yeah, the rumored blockbuster announcement. I guess Matt Drudge was taking tea with Sir M___, the director of operations for MI6, who must have passed this rumored blockbuster announcement on to him, who passed it on to you.
1) Conceded. Stated that I had not heard follow up. 2) Hardly supports your contention. 3) Opinion. Ok. 4) US intel, again, disagrees with your assertion. 5) Hardly. I asked this point with, as evident is my last post, honest curiosity. Your subsequent points are exactly as I sadi; opinion stated as fact.
Lol! Cohen said, at the time, that I should have been more gentle in my stating that the US didn't want to get in, out of respect for the US soldiers that died. Don't agree with his point, but it was not yours, which was that I was wrong in my statement of fact. In no way defelects from the fact that you were...again....proven to be lying or at least incorrect in the extreme while calling other liars.
