bigsixfive 341 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Then: We will kill Bin Laden, we will crush al-Qaeda!It is a top priority for us to stamp out Al-Qaeda once and for all. Now: COURIC: A new Osama bin Laden tape was released. And in it he taunted President Bush and basically called for a new jihad to stop the aggression on Gaza. What will you do differently to bring Osama bin Laden to justice?OBAMA: Well, I think-- I talked frequently during this campaign that we took our eye off the ball when we invaded Iraq. And now it's done. My job is to withdraw in a responsible way from Iraq and stabilize the situation there. But our real focus has to be on Afghanistan, the border regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan. And we have to put as much pressure on them as possible. I've already spoken to my National Security team about how we're going to do that. And I'm confident that we can keep them on the run and ensure that they cannot train terrorists to attack our homeland. That's my number one priority as President of the United States. COURIC: How important do you think it is, Mr. President-elect, to apprehend Osama bin Laden? OBAMA: I think that we have to so weaken his infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function. My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him. But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America. http://thepage.time.com/obama-talks-to-cbs-katie-couric/ Seems he's found sufficiency in the current state of Al Qaeda and bin Laden. That's a vast difference than his stated promises only 3 short months ago. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55445-bin-laden-eh-so-what/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURainman 6 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yeah. I think Bush has accomplished that feat. So much for "Change we can believe in." Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55445-bin-laden-eh-so-what/#findComment-573117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
