Osama's rantings and ravings don't frighten us, but it does show how utterly important it is to find and destroy him (and Omar, and all the others we haven't gotten yet) just because of the effects his lunatic ravings have on his followers around the world. For months we've heard the Bush administration tell us on cable news that it isn't important if we get Osama, he's just one man. Well that is total poppycock, as this latest diatribe reveals. One MUST destroy one's enemy completely and totally and that includes their top leaders who spur them on to more violence. I hope the Bush administration takes this latest missive from Osama as a cue to keep the presssure on Pakistan to let the US military into those areas controlled by these militants. The bombing campaigns should be allowed to continue in those areas of Pakistan where he is suspected to be hiding. The locals can be urged to leave if they want to minimize civilian casualties for PR purposes. But since Pakistan won't let us in there, there is no other conclusion to make but that they are deliberately sheltering Osama bin Laden.
