Osama bin Laden Missing From Bush's Threat 1,982 Days

Bob Geiger, each Monday, fills us in on the Osama bin Missing clock, or how long since President (man, it still hurts to type that) George W. Bush declared he would get Osama "dead or alive".

Bob's on a well-deserved vacation with his family, so here we are: 1,982 days since that declaration.

I no longer believe that Bush ever actually tried to find Osama.

There's an old saying, and yes, I think even people in Texas say it, that the truth usually lies somewhere between two extremes. Well, take the extreme from Bush that Osama was entirely responsible for 9-11 and everything bad around it as one, with the other extreme that Osama was the manufactured bogeyman that the Bush Administration, in its thirst for unlimited power and domination, put up as responsible for a series of events they helped orchestrate as the OTHER end of the spectrum.

Now, the middle ground between those extremes suggests that the Bushies have far more complicity in 9-11 than we perhaps ever will feel comfortable in accepting. and that we have no intention of finding Osama because, as our designated bogeyman, serves a much better purpose "on the loose", as a fear factor for us all, so Bush can continue his "War on Terror" which seems to create far more world terror than it resolves.
