What's with the snide attitiude toward Rumfeld? You think you could do a better job than this consummate military spokesman and strategist?
Where is Osama? Good question. I doubt we are being told everything about where Osama might be, or is. But perhaps the nabbing of this guy will help in the search. But Osama is no doubt getting lots of cover from The Palestine Chronicle crowd, and his friends in Iran and Iraq, the same gang that PAYS Palestinians to kill Jews (and Arabs) in Israel.

Osama bin Laden's top operational commander, who was captured four days ago in Pakistan, will face trial...
A bit of logic. The capture of Bin Laden's top operational commander just might make it a little tougher for Osama to plan further attacks on us. How is that not a good thing? Why wouldn't you be happy about that? And grateful to the folks who nailed him. He was captured after a gun battle. American soldiers put their lives at risk. Does the fact that we have not caught Osama make the capture of this guy less important? Sheesh.
I am sure he needs medical attention. Perhaps an IV, maybe some sodium pentathol....
