Fucking useless CNN. New poll question, test-marketed for morons.

[Hobarticus]

"If U.S. intelligence officials have an Ôexcellent ideaÕ where Osama bin Laden is, should they go get him?"

No. We should send a fruitcake.

[AllegroRondo]

1. Better question

If US Officials have an "excellent idea" where bin Laden is, why havent they captured him yet?

[getmeouttahere]

4. Bravo, AllegroRondo...

nail, meet head!

[zbdent]

23. Using-a Bush's "intelligence" . . .

they're still trying-a to find-a the Pope in-a the Pizza . . .

[getmeouttahere]

2. There are no words...

yet created to describe the idiocy in that question

[kliljedahl]

11. How about this one from last week?

22. kliljedahl, please tell me that's not real.

Is that for real? :rofl:

[kliljedahl]

24. According to last weeks "Top Ten Idiots" it is

It's #8: http://www.democraticunderground.com/top10/05/201.html

25. Huh?

:dunce: :wow: :silly: :wtf: :spank: :argh: :banghead: :shrug:

[Oreo]

3. Look at it this way....

We find out he's in Iran. This poll is Bush's mandate to attack.

[etherealtruth]

10. I never wear tin foil ...

..and I think you make a frightening observation.

[parasim]

14. That's exactly what I'm thinking

From CNN's story (where they talk about "the excellent idea"):

-snip

In an interview with TIME magazine, Goss said part of the difficulty in capturing bin Laden was "sanctuaries in sovereign nations."

-snip

http://www.cnn.com/

So, 90 some-odd percent is saying yes, go get him! and well, however, here in the story is our problem...

My question is, is "excellent idea" the new "fixed intelligence"?

[kliljedahl]

16. My first thought too, but not far-fetched

[woodsprite]

17. Ding! Ding! Ding! - that was my first thought. n/t

[LynnTheDem]

5. "No. We should send a fruitcake." What an EXCELLENT way to get rid of

that damn fruitcake so many of us are so unfortunate enough to receive every damn year!

[Norquist Nemesis]

6. It's all a little too Bob and Ted

except it's George and Dick's Excellent Adventure playing with real lives.

[Kazak]

7. Their poll questions are the worst,...

most sophomoric questions ever. Whoever writes those polls is pathetic!

[Maraya1969]

8. Excellent! Send it to CNN directly!

[jojo54]

9. The question should be

Why wasn't he captured in Afghanistan in '02, when he was within reach?

[Hugin]

12. I don't know what shocks me more...

That CNN is asking questions like this... or there are
people out there still watching it.

Something to ponder.

[Village Idiot]

13. "If US intelligence officials had a clue..."

"Would they not already have arrested Usama bin Laden?"

[0rganism]

15. Osama bin Laden is anywhere you want to invade

Wait for it, cos you know it's coming: "He's been commuting between Iran and Syria."

[gratuitous]

18. Are these the same intelligence officials

Who told us that Saddam had nuclear weapons? Then I'd say that their information should be taken with an entire truckload of salt.

By the way, has the promised white paper detailing Osama bin Laden's alleged involvement with the September 11 attacks ever come out from the corrupt Bush administration? Just asking.

[joanne]

20. Suggestion for tonight's Larry King

Get those two guys who were on the Today show to discuss what Saddam likes to have for breakfast.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8288955/

[Pastiche423]

28. No, the white paper

promised by Powell has never been presented to the public.

Furtheremore, no evidence of any kind has been presented to the public that OBL did the 9/11 attacks.

None.

[gratuitous]

29. That's how I remember it, too

Well, we shouldn't worry too much. After all, the Bush administration would never lie about something that important, would they?

[dbonds]

19. If we had an idea where he was, and...

we had the desire to get him. Why in hell would he announce he knew where he was. That would be self defeating. Either we don't know or don't want to get him. Why would we not want to get him? hmmmm.....

[SmokingJacket]

21. Actually, I find this poll a little bit subversive.

Almost saying, "You assholes, if you know where he is, what are you sitting around for?"

[darkism]

26. Poll being freeped by al Qaeda!

6% of people say NO!

[Ksec]

27. "No. We should send a fruitcake." LMAO good line.

They need this bad guy. They use the sovereign word when it suits them, ignore it when it doesnt.

They need the bad guy bin laden. He keeps them in power.

[Oreo]

30. So after we attack Iran because intel says Osama is there....

will we see Bush looking under his desk saying "Nope... no Osama there"

This makes too much sense. Bin Laden's name is starting to be floated again. They'll say he's in Iran and we are going in.

Granted... he was supposed to be in Pakistan but they wouldn't go in there. The Amurikan people won't care though.
