Osama video surfaces...

"The reality shows that the war against America and its allies has not been limited to Iraq as he (Bush) claims. Iraq has become a point of attraction and restorer of (our) energies." So, Osama thinks that Iraq is a great recruiting tool, and perpetuates terrorist hatred of the US. Well, DUH!!!

Bush and his sycophantic toadies keep promoting Iraq as defeating the "War on Terror," always forgetting to mention that the insurgent violence pretty much goes up and up the longer it continues. They say that the media doesn't report the "good news" going on in Iraq, without mentioning that reporters would essentially be committing suicide if they left the uniits wherein they are embedded, or left the Green Zone. (A not entirely safe area, either. Too bad their missiles missed Paul Wolfowitz, a main architect of PNAC and proponent of the war, when he was there in the Green Zone. That would have been sweetly ironic...)

Whether or not you agree with W and his policies, one cannot argue with the fact that Osama is still at large, even though the Shrub vowed to get him, Dead or Alive. How can the US fail to find a 6 foot, 5 inch Arab, schlepping around a dialysis machine? This September coming up will be 5 years since the attack, but by George's own admission, "I don't spend much time on him."
