I guess he put down the bottle of Thunderbird long enough to remember

After over five years of war in a country that had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, George W. Bush has finally laid off the sauce long enough to rememeber who the hell he was supposed to go after in the first place:

President George W Bush has enlisted British special forces in a final attempt to capture Osama Bin Laden before he leaves the White House.

Defence and intelligence sources in Washington and London confirmed that a renewed hunt was on for the leader of the September 11 attacks. “If he [Bush] can say he has killed Saddam Hussein and captured Bin Laden, he can claim to have left the world a safer place,” said a US intelligence source.


Having Osama Bin Laden "out there" has been very useful to George W. Bush. It kept people afraid enough that they were willing to give up their freedom, willing to have their phone conversations and internet activity monitored, willing to have their bodies X-rayed at airports, willing to look the other way while this Administration destroyed this country. Now that Bush is a few months away from leaving office, with his so-called legacy in ruins, NOW he's decided again that Bin Laden matters.

Sorry, George. Your legacy is fucked no matter what happens with Bin Laden. Because even if British Special Forces (what, you couldn't get our own to do it?) manage to capture Bin Laden, all it will do is show all Americans what some of us have already known -- that you cynically allowed him to roam free because it played into your goal of being a dictator. There's no getting around it, George. You are the worst president in the history of this nation, and you may very well have destroyed it beyond repair.

Mission accomplished, you lifelong fuckup.

My theory for the last several years has been that Mr. bin Laden has been living in the White House basement.

Perhaps someone realized that having the moving vans show up before January 2009 would look suspicious.

And why the British? Why not a hundred New Yorkers? They at least have a stake in finding him.

Yeah - what is up with needing the British special forces for this endeavor? Could it be because our special forces know that he is a. dead or b. exactly where he is and they've been told to cease and resist?

... I've long held bin Laden is at Camp David...
