JALALABAD, Afghanistan –– A senior Taliban leader said Sunday that the Islamic militia would be willing to hand over Osama bin Laden to a third country if the United States halts the bombing of Afghanistan and provides evidence against him.

President Bush quickly rejected the offer.

How Hussein negotiates:

QuoteAND to Harry. constitution does not call for libraries but we have them?
Government run libraries.
what part covers Interstate highways?

Quick history lesson.
The first lending libraries were private institutions. Started in Philadelphia by Ben Franklin IIRC.

Now the interstate highway system is a public improvement, too large for any one state and crossing state boundaries.
Not to mention it was sold as a defense measure. Eisenhower learned from his experience fighting the Nazis how useful a highway system was for national defense. The Autobahn allowed the Germans to defend against the Russians in the east and the US/Britain/Canadians/French in the west.

Explain to me while you are wrapping yourself in the constitution,
what the constitution has to do with NOT reducing the debt?

constitution provides for an armed force to protect us, but not sure it calls for HUNDREDS of bases all over the world and the power to destroy the planet a thousand times!

I thought conservatives were concerned about the national debt?

typically when a conservative has no real answer they wrap themselves in the constitution or the flag.

going to use the flag next?

AND to Harry. constitution does not call for libraries but we have them?
Government run libraries.

The interstate highway system was built to facilitate the movement of military equipment around the country for defensive purposes. We learned from Germany during WW2, and the advantage such a system gave them.

Yup, Eisenhower started it. I personally think it took the local personality out of America, but that's just me.

I knew Eisenhower started the project I just never understood why. It makes more sense then people in New Hampshire saying "right! we desperately want to get to Florida but those traffic lights are a killer."

Try what again??

AND as an added bonus, The highways also work pretty well to move a little freight around here and there.

They certainly do, but that is a side benefit. The reason for the interstate system is as I described it.

what enemy has the ability to even bring a war to our door?

I'd say they set the tone with 9/11 and all...

Isn't that what you want?

Big business would not like that.

Like what?

Military industrial complex might like it, AND they certainly want you to believe that so you will keep sending them tons of money.

How does that negatively affect you?

Ron Paul is the only GOP that seems to get THAT big picture!

It's already been brought to our door.  Have you forgotten 9-11?  That was a massive kill in a matter of minutes.  That was the beginning.  It's a world war without the name of WWIII.

Unconstitutional, though, MD, as was the trans-continental railroads that used taxpayer funds to basically make a select number rich. Quite frankly, the US moved an awful lot of men and materiel' during WWII by railway and by trucks. Ike was by nature liberal and/or moderate, so unconstitutional undertakings were not outside his purview.

We missed our best bet by not electing Bob Taft in 48' or '52.

If anyone cares, here's a bit of the history of the inter-state system in the U.S.   The thought popped into FDR's head in the thirties, but WWII occured, and the thought had to be put on hold, but it never disappeared.

LOL, you just proved Hussein has no clue to the customs of our allies.
Bush knows this is customary in the m/E, but Hussein bows, which is a sign of submission.

Oh wait, that's what hussein has done all over the world, submit to dictators like Chavez....

It's a skirmish, between small factions.
They do not have much in the way of hardware or infrastructure.
Small and light weight. something we don't need to build a new aircraft carrier to defend against!

Which is why Obama using seal team 6 is SO much wiser than sending in the 6th fleet and reducing a country to rubble so we can later rebuild it, in the name of democracy! (and a few trillion)

Surgical operations that cut the head off the enemy with little to NO loss of American lives and very cost effective.
Now that's leadership!

Bush quotes about Osama. Gosh how he spun it around and an around!

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

"I want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"
- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI

"...Secondly, he is not escaping us. This is a guy, who, three months ago, was in control of a county [sic]. Now he's maybe in control of a cave. He's on the run. Listen, a while ago I said to the American people, our objective is more than bin Laden. But one of the things for certain is we're going to get him running and keep him running, and bring him to justice. And that's what's happening. He's on the run, if he's running at all. So we don't know whether he's in cave with the door shut, or a cave with the door open -- we just don't know...."

- Bush, in remarks in a Press Availablity with the Press Travel Pool,
The Prairie Chapel Ranch, Crawford TX, 12/28/01, as reported on
official White House site

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02 (how quickly he lost focus.  Can't a war president chasing a terrorist!)

"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)

Such leadership, no wonder you reelected him!
He follows through on his commitments! (oh wait, that's Obama)

Obama has basically cut the head off of Al Qaeda.
It will grow back, but then he will just cut it off again.

That's certainly going to come up during the elections!
