But, no, he and his magic troop of mountain dwellers seem to be too much for our super duper shooters and trackers and covert James Bonds.Â
Why go after the guy who did it, if that's what you insist on believing without bothering to read that "other crap" which you know has no merit? No. Listen to the Front Man tell you it was bin Laden and then hang Saddam Hussein. And, most importantly of all, no matter what the facts may prove, stick your fingers in your ears and say, "Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, I can't hear what you're saying, nah, nah, nah, nah" like big boys and girls.
I really didn't want to write quite so much of what's already been written by people who've poured hour upon hour over all the evidence from all angles.
I did want to write that Obama has finally proved that he is the new Front Man.
"See these? These are memos that prove The Regime tortured in violation of domestic and international law. But we must move forward so that it never happens again. If we release these memos, it'll teach some future Regime that it better never commit war crimes or maybe the next administration will publicize those war crimes. Of course, they'll also want to look forward."
"OK, your honor, sure my client murdered his wife. But will prosecuting him bring her back. Of course not. She's gone, your honor and I promise that my client won't do it again, especially now that everyone knows. Wallowing in the past won't bring her back. Looking to a future where no other wife will ever be murdered again is what we have to do."
"Oh, you're so right. You're so forgiving in a Christian sort of way and, as we are a Christian nation, your client is released pending the promise that he will not kill another wife and, as far as he's concerned, no man will kill another wife for fear that the murder may be revealed in a court of law."
We invaded Iraq. It was wrong. We never captured bin Laden because, let's face it, our lame special ops forces on whom we waste so much taxpayer money are just not up to the task. Mark that down, another tea party aimed at wasting the taxpayer money on special ops groups who can't capture one man because they just don't have that kind of talent.
Obama's as much as admitted it, right? He's not sending any special ops forces to Afghanistan to capture bin Laden. Like The Regime, he's sending thousands of troops to build a Kabul Disneyworld. And when the first of his troops dies, he'll make a speech, like the Front Man before him, saying, "Oh yeah, well it hurts my feelings, too, ya know. I almost started crying last night. But we must continue the effort so that Al Qaeda and The Taliban have no place to go and practice. If we make Afghanistan a democracy in our own image, where will The Taliban go and practice? Afghanistan is its last refuge. Turn Afghanistan into a democracy with a Starbuck's on every corner and that's it for The Taliban. Where else in the world could they go to practice being bad guys? We will have stopped them. It's a small world after all."
Politicians have to spend upwards of $70 million dollars to buy the presidency. That's the way Americans like it. They like two years of stupid, brainless political commercials which talk about everything but the issues. $70 million to run for president. Is the most qualified person to be a really effective president residing here in the US? My guess is absolutely. Will he or she come up with the $70 million dollars to make a run at it? Probably not. However, if he or she does come up with it, he or she will have ceased to be the most qualified candidate. It's just the nature of the game.
I saw my two and a half year old granddaughter today. I hadn't seen her in a over a year. My she's gotten big. I couldn't wipe the smile from my face or the joy from my heart. She may be taxed to kingdom come when she's older in order to pay for what was done well before she even knew what a tax is.
Right now, today, I saw her and, believe me, she's just beautiful. I love her. And that, my friends, is life! The rest of the stuff I wrote about above should be land-filled, along with the thespians who make their dirty money perpetuating the hate between right, left, red, blue, green. It's their living. Keep this half of America hating the other half and the money will continue to flow into your pockets.
Rush Limbaugh, Keith Olbermann, Bill O'Reilly, Thom Hartmann, Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, all of you. Your paymaster is hate and as long as he's alive, you'll do well for yourselves.
Even Thom Hartmann who is maybe the most knowledgeable of all who own voodoo dolls does nothing with his impressive repetition of history short of validating that hateful division between one half of human kind and the other half. This keeps vegetables on the tables of people who make a living of exploiting the division.
Meanwhile, I've got a beautiful little girl to spend a week with. Keep up the good fight, no matter what side you're on. It's good for you and your bank accounts.
