Last night in the 5:00pm hour of the Producers on 570 KVI, Travis Box and Luther Haigs were discussing Osama Bin Laden. The question was, Is it important that we still get him, and Is it important that we know about it. Some great calls. I really wanted to point out two storys that related to the topic.
First is an interview with Osama from Esquire Magazine February 1999
Greetings, America. My Name is Osama bin Laden.
By John Miller
The second is a piece by Peggy Noonan. March 2003, Kind a what if look at what could be the case.
Oh Happy Day
They washed the sand away, and there he was.
By Peggy Noonan
Here is a quote from an article by Rick Joyner from December 2001 Facing our Fears
"Our government must use the sword that has been given to it, and must use it until there is a decisive victory. The war we are now in will not be over with the capture or death of Osama Ben Ladin, or Saddam Hussein, or any number of other leaders. If this war is not won so decisively that terrorism is no longer considered a viable way to accomplish political goals, future attacks will kill millions, not just thousands."
And another quote by Rick Joyner from January 2002 The Best That Can Happen
"It would also be better for us if Osama Bin Laden is not captured or killed in the near future. I say this because the United States has already become too comfortable because of the seemingly easy military successes. Because of this, the danger for more catastrophes is growing. Bin Laden is but the head of one serpent, and there are many, many more serpents. The pursuit of bin Laden will also lead our government to a far greater understanding of the enemy and the scope of the war that we are in. The longer bin Laden remains at large, the better off we will ultimately be. His trail will lead us to much understanding, and we must stay hot on his trail."
