If Bush and Cheney had killed Bin Laden

[malaise]

that would still be the number one story.

[The Magistrate]

1. Hell, Ma'am, The Date Would Be A National Holiday

Three-day weekend, fire-works, the whole nine yards, every year till Doomsday tolled.

[malaise]

2. And they'd still be carving the pair on

Mt. Rushmore - airports and buildings would be renamed and every stamp would have the pair of war criminals.

Have a nice day Sir!!

[tularetom]

3. Yes and if my aunt had a penis she'd be my uncle

So let's just be happy that things didn't work out that way.

[Ian David]

4. Bush would still be in The White House. n/t

[Nay]

5. . . .we'd never hear the end of it. nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

6. yep. Instead, the black guy did it, sooooooo.......

BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!

[JoePhilly]

7. They'd have knocked down the Washington Momument and replaced it ...

with an exact replica of Bush's fake ranch in Texas.

[malaise]

10. You've nailed it

[lunatica]

8. There's two reasons why we should be forever grateful that they didn't

Who the hell wants Bush and Cheney to be made into gods like Reagan? It was bad enough when Reagan was canonized into sainthood by the Republican Party without having Bush raised into pure godhood too.

So thank God no one noticed it when Obama actually had him killed!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. For a while there

It seemed as though they were practically deified for simply being asleep at the switch before and during a massive terrorist attack on our soil, as well as invading a third world country and overthrowing it's tin pot dictator.

[malaise]

11. True but they weren't even looking for him

[lunatica]

14. Since when have facts ever been allowed to confuse the teabag party?

LOL!

[Taylor Smite]

15. Didnt Bush say something like

"Im not concerned with him" or "Ive moved past that?" Something to that effect.

[malaise]

18. Yes he did

[Javaman]

12. There would have been paintings of moron* and crashcart depicted as the

conquering Caesar.

[gratuitous]

13. And more people might wonder what the meaning of "justice" is

As it is, far too many people are comfortable with summary executions by our government.

[sabrina 1]

22. Well at least the Left would be wondering.

But the PTBs have it all figured out, it seems. The Right are silenced because they were stirred up into a frenzy by Bush's rhetoric 'we're gonna smoke'm outta his cave'. The Left wanted him captured and tried.

Had Bush ordered the assassination, they would have had to deal with the Left. But now everyone is silent. It's a great system, for the 'powers behind the throne'.

[spanone]

16. ticker tape parades through new york city

[libtodeath]

17. They never would have

they needed him alive more then dead.

[malaise]

19. That's the truth

[whatchamacallit]

20. Obama was just burying Bush and Cheney's crime "for the good of the nation"

Why else shoot his face off and dump him in the sea?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

21. I've been saying this since 2002: Bush & Cheney didn't want to kill bin Ladin.

A live boogieman is much more useful than a dead boogieman.
