I think you hit this one over the left field wall and into McCovey Cove. Look for the next DNC talking points repeated by the likes of Mara Liasson, "Now that OBL is dead, then the War On Terrorism is won and we can go back to Kitchen Table issues". Of course, if you know anythng about Al Queda, it is set up so that it will function even if OBL is dead.
Silly me; I forgot that a forgetful media is the RATs most potent weapon.
It's the Saddam Hussein alternative plan...
Let bin Laden take full and complete credit so that no one else can be blamed for working with him.
No need to continue the fight, America...
"The bad guy is dead now and no one helped him."
"No one, he was on his own, really he was."
Iraqi leader Hussein : "We didn't get along with him, really. Never mind those training camps or those Iraqi diplomats, those were just accidental meetings. Bin Laden is roome temperature now, we promise."
Imad Mugniyah in Syria agrees: "Uh yeah. Osama's dead now, he really is. He did the Beirut thing, not me. Yeah, that's the ticket. And don't blame it on Fatah either, they're totally innocent. Bin Laden is dead now so why don't you relax a little. Have a beer. That's it... I'll buy. "
And the Iranian mullahs want to add, "It wasn't us! Bin Laden did it all. He even did that embassy thing and the mines in the Gulf. And it wasn't us that funded Hezbollah and Hamas, it was bin Laden, and he was the one who paid to build that nuclear reactor too. Honest. Bin Laden is dead now so you guys can go home."
And the Syrians too: "Those attacks on the Druze and christians in Lebanon, and those attacks you attributed to us, were bin LAden's fault. He really got around. And no, that wasn't Atta who visited this country before 9/11. Bin Laden is dead now so you can quit."
And Cuba is quick to come forward : "No, that wasn't Castro who told the Iranians that 'together we will bring america to her knees' before 911. That was bin Laden. And we didn't have a thing to do with messing with NY's air traffic control system a while back. That was Bin Laden. Had to be, remember those Afghans picked up in the Cayman Islands a while back with the $2 million? They escaped from Cuba, that's it. We caught them and they got free and that's why they got off the plane from Cuba with that wad of cash. We were fighting al Qaeda and bin Laden. Truly, we were."
This plays to Bush's hand...
Remember Clinton's idiotic remarks last week...something to the effect of "no Saddam until we know Osama is gone"....well...
Guess what time it is?
