why would the Bush Administration, on multiple occasions, not pursue the chance to take Osama bin Laden out?
Because, as Thom Hartmann observed when BuzzFlash was recently on his program, the Bush-Cheney crowd needs him as a bogeyman. In order to achieve the corporate profiteering goals of the GOP, you need a distraction to keep Americans from figuring out the sleight of hand that is going on -- and nothing distracts people like fear for their lives.
Patriotic Americans -- true patriots, not the cognac swilling, cigar smoking shills in the right wing echo chamber (bought, owned and salaried by the corporations getting fat off the hog under the Busheviks) -- should be daily reminded that demagoguery is the means by which the Republican Party has maintained control of the terms of the debate over the Iraq War and the impending air attacks on Iran.
It is a primal emotion to fear for your life against people who would do it harm. Giuliani is the symbolic and Bushevik-backed heir to the cudgel of 9/11 used by the demagogues to fatten the pockets of their corporate backers. (Remember that Giuliani's police chief and short-lived Homeland Security Chief appointment by Bush was the mobbed-up and corrupt Bernard Kerik.)
Palast also argues that the goal of the Bush Adminsitration is not to seize the Iraq and Iran oil fields to make more of the black gold available, but rather to control the output so that supply is limited in order to raise the profits of the oil companies. Since Bush and Cheney invaded Iraq, the price of oil has skyrocketed and the oil corporations have pocketed billions and billions of dollars in record windfall profits.
The goal of the Bush Republican Party is not to protect us from terrorism, but rather to use terrorism to advance their international and domestic economic agenda.
