Rep. Hinchey: Bush Administration 'Intentionally Let bin Laden Get Away' In Order To Justify Iraq War

“Don't forget, the Bush regime needed the boogey man out there in order to propagate the fear. Without bin Laden on the loose, there's nothing for the sheeple to visualize and get their tiny minds around.

I can't say if what this story claims has any validity to it, but a bin-Laden-­on-the-loo­se was a key requirement of the right's fear-mongering strategy.”

SeattleKurt replied on Nov 30, 2009 at 22:41:01

“It's interesting that this rep's observation seems to strike a fresh chord in the theory about why we shifted focus so quickly away from getting bin Laden to Iraq.

Get bin Laden and soon everyone's anxiety drops. That much harder to get people to go along with a voluntary war against Iraq.

Great observation tone.”

“Even if they had killed UBL they would have dressed up an ex-NBA player in a beard and kaftan and paraded him around Waziristan to keep their hope alive.”

“And don't forget the Bin Laden family has been in bed with the Bushes for decades.”

“Hardly. That's the way it was...well into the 60's.

I grew up in Chicago in the 60's during "white flight" to the suburbs. Today, my mother is well into her 80's, and while her views and opinions have balanced and tempered, I know how she thinks...a­nd why.

It's the way it was.”

“Maybe. Perhaps...­.6 months ago. But not now.

Ahead of the pending CC regulations kicking in early next year, the CC terrorists have changed the rules.

I do agree that if one is to walk, they cannot even consider looking at their credit score for years. Buy what you need now, before you pull the plug. And live with it.”

“So consumers are stupid? I think that's it!”

“No, VOTERS are stupid. They have a congress that has sold them out, and they allow them to keep their jobs.”

“Agreed. We consumers were stupid. I rue the day I bought that condo in Downtown Long Beach! If I could go back in time and pass on it, I would. But the pressure from all around made it sound like the deal of a lifetime.

So yes I WAS STUPID. I admit it. But that didn't give me bonus points when I went into foreclosure.

BTW...go to downtown Long Beach and take a look at those 6,000 brand spanking new condos built in the last 5 years....s­itting empty. So I guess it wasn't just consumers.­..but builders, lenders and banks, too!”

“Right. Get rid of that 29% rate and negotiate for 14%...mayb­e. Negotiating is no longer an option with these terrorist card companies. They won't negotiate, not within any semblance of reason.

I have mixed emotions about people who spend recklessly and have no hope (or intent) of paying off their credit cards. But for those who pay on time and still get absolutely scr*wed with add-on fees, unwarranted interest rate hikes and "late fees"...bi­te the bullet, pay off the cards and tear them up. Use a debit card. Live within your means.”

AnnfromCA replied on Nov 29, 2009 at 14:50:51

“You have to laugh at your credit score to negotiate. You have to say, "Take it or leave it."

And mean it.

They will negotiate. Why not get some back?

Negotiate the interest rate and the terms and insist no credit tick be entered.

Then, pay.”

“Fair question.

More than half of these losers are self-important nothings, glorified by the slack jaws who read People Magazine.

The Byrds were my time. That band, and many like them, spawned the greats that have empowered Classic Rock. A far cry from the generally talentless bands around today.”

edwoodjr replied on Nov 30, 2009 at 11:31:34

“If it makes us "old timers" feel any better, my wife is a teacher in an inner-city school and is always borrowing my "classic rock" CDs to lend to kids. Thankfully, there are kids who cam still appreciate the timelessness of The Byrds, Led Zep, The Beatles and many. many more of those 60's and 70's bands we all grew up with. So, there is still hope......­....”

“This started under Reagan. Since the 1980s Republicans have done all they can to blame and destroy unions, send jobs overseas, and cut social service spending for those in need.

To blame Obama is to be the biggest chump on the planet. Republicans have been had, but they don't have the maturity to own up to it.”
