Kill Obama: Bin Laden plotted to assassinate President Obama before 2012 election

:shrug:

...regardless of whoever it is or what party they belong to. Just because the Bush administration and the Republicans used the reality of terrorist organizations as a way to scare people into allowing massive power grabs doesn't change the fact that these people actually do exist and they actually do want to strike at America and other Westernized countries. We shouldn't let Bush derangement syndrome blind us to facts.

Remember, especially with the Derivative Crash of 2008, this IS about currency markets.

how he wanted the U.S. to react...by going overboard, inciting violence, killing too many non-terrorists so that could be used as a recruiting tool.

Evidence: OBL's video shortly before the election Bush v. Kerry, knowing full well the American reaction to terrorists & OBL is to go to the right, perceived stronger in National Security.

Killing the U.S. President: Killing just ANY U.S. President only serves to act as recruitment tool and show your strength, IMO. That is because in our government system, the leader has a substitute if he is killed, and the leader #2 has a substitute, and so on and so forth. But killing a SPECIFIC U.S. President is personal, IMO. OBL would know the VP would take over, and the country would go on.

So I totally believe that OBL perceived Obama as a personal threat to OBL's cause. And maybe he was right...witness the wave of revolutions across the Middle East, and the rejection of jihadi, recently.

Whether Obama caused that or not, it's clear that his Presidency has ushered in a major change in the Middle East. Yeah, I can imagine that OBL wanted Obama taken out, personally.

maybe because McCain doesn't torture? And wasn't prone to go overboard in fighting wars that can be used as recruitment tools for the Taliban?

But I forget....was McCain in favor of the Iraq War?

If these people really want to kill him, do you think they care that everyone else knows about it? I don't. I actually think they're less likely to try it. When you shine a light on the cockroaches, they scurry back into the dark.

funneled money to bin Laden /AQ.

know which is which, given their track record with outfits such as that we saw represented by Saddam Hussein and that guy Screwball (sorry, I've forgotten that guys name - what ever happened to him, btw).

We'll see.

because he believed Pres. Obama had "violated" a faith that he is not part of....
or is Garrett insinuating that Bin Laden believed Barack Obama to be a Muslim?
And why would Garrett believe that he knows this bit of news? Or did Garrett
simply pull this out of his ass? :shrug:

Not exactly sure how he came to that conclusion.

Why would Garrett assign to Bin Laden this kind of an assumption?
Was there something that Bin Laden has said in reference to this
particular train of thought at some point? Because if not,
Garrett should stick to knowns....That if Bin Laden had such plans,
that they were based on the best way to disrupt the politics of this country.

spent too much time listening to Rush Limbaugh.

And saw the Teabaggers say Obama is a Muslin! LOL!

"out of his ass".

Violated the Muslim faith! Puh Leeessse!

when you need to hype a story.

Obama was more of a threat to him than Republicans ever were.They In iraq helped his recruiting.
