yes, but…
…why is Osama Bin Laden still alive???
Bush said he wanted OBL "dead or alive"… Cheney said he’d willingly accept OBL’s "head on a platter"…. to refresh the memory of those of you just waking up, the whole justification for this "war on terrorism" was:
9/11 -> Al Qaeda -> Afghanistan invasion to destroy Al Qaeda and capture/kill OBL
yet, almost five years later, he’s allegedly still alive and well, and broadcasting press releases on TV….
tempting as it may be, i’m not going to speculate about why this so-called "world’s most dangerous terrorist" is allowed to chill out in an allied country and increase recruiting… although i suspect that our killing innocents who are supposed to be on our side isn’t helping our cause there….
no; i’ll end where i began — wondering why the only time we hear about OBL, is when he serves as a convenient jolt to scare the ameriKKKan citizenry into submission…. notice that even now, as Tweedle-D.C. offers him up as justification for this open ended "war on terrorism", there’s no mention of the fact that Osama, not Saddam, was the original target of this war
…if we can’t catch this one bastard, how confident should we be that we’ll accomplish any of our "wartime" objectives…???
