Bush Finally Concerned with Bin Laden

According to Rupert Murdoch fishwrap London Times, ol' Turbo has now ordered whoever to bring him the head of Osama Bin Laden, who has pulled one of the greatest disappearing jobs since Jimmy Hoffa. If the escalation (advertising copy name "the surge") was Operation Save My Legacy part one, this is the sequel. You could also brand it, Operation Flail for History.

Of course, if Bush was smart, as soon as he found out who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, he should have ordered the deployment of some tactical nukes in the mountains of Afghanistan, but oh no. Boy George, who has all the strategic acumen of a Wal-Mart assistant store manager, instead gave us warfare Pic 'n Save style, disaster inevitably ensuing, didn't have the stones. Therefore, neither the Taliban nor Bin Laden paid big boy penalties for playing with what was supposedly the world's pre-eminent power.

Then we went into Iraq, which was, as Jon Stewart so accurately observed, akin to "building a dam in Arkansas to deal with the flooding from Hurricane Katrina."

More and more, I believe that Iraq was part of Karl Rove's strategy to carve out a permanent Republican majority rather than actually attempting to create a wedge of democracy in a region still nostalgic for the 6th century. If my suspicion is true, it will go down in world history as the most heinous machiavellian act by a national executive ever.

Either that, or it was, as some others have declared, a way for the idiot in chief to salve his massive inferiority complex trying to live up to his father Scanner or brother Jeb. That may actually be closer to the actual case, but thanks to our ridiculous laws keeping many government documents out of circulation for 75 years (this is purely a vanity thing---our leaders don't want to suffer the criticism they may engender while they are still alive) I will likely never know.

Yeah, you will get slanted excuses commonly referred to as memoirs, but those are often of dubious historical integrity as the authors attempt to buff up their images for posterity, a kind of historiographical turd polishing. That isn't a Rove allusion, by the way.

Oh wait, this just in! This is what happens when you have a Secretary of State such as Tokenette, who is, and has been, in way over her head.
