Yep, here we ago again.
1) Osama takes credit for failed pantie-bomber. Why do we believe this? We all agree that Osama is a low-down-dirty, lying, stinking terrorist. Why do we assume he is even alive, let alone telling the truth about being responsible for this failed bombing attempt?
2) Osama does seem to know us better than we know ourselves, even when the truth is leading the news for months on end. The worst attack by a foreign entity on American soil since the war of 1812 while the GOP had controlled congress since 1994 and during a GOP administration, one that had been warned repeatedly by an out-going administration and practically every head-of state the world over than Osama, who had declared war on the U.S. in the late 90s, planned to hit the U.S. at home. He had had, apparently, great success abroad. So what made the Bushies think he wasn't much of a threat at home? Nevertheless, an apparent majority of Americans still believe that the GOP is so much better for our security than Democrats. Osama knew that from merely observing us from afar when we were otherwise engaged. So right before the 2004 election, just when it looked as though Americans might actually vote their own interests, for a change, instead of Al Qaeda's, Osama went on Teevee and announced that Bush was a total idiot and a cowardly one at that, thus changing changed the minds of millions who voted for Bush and Cheney. (That Osama! Who the hell does he think he is insulting our preznit like that? We'll show him. We'll, by god, vote for the gang who couldn't shoot straight, the ones who had let Osama get away at Tora Bora and attacked a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, the ones who were busy wrecking the economy by waging two wars off the books among other foul policies, thus murdering our own kids and a whole bunch of other kids as a result.
2) Osama says that Al Qaeda will continue attacks on America as long as America supports Israel. (I do not recall bin Laden being all that pro-Palestinian until after 9/11. Before that, he was all about kicking Uncle Sam's giant military butt out of Saudi Arabia, Islam's holy land)) But let's say that he really is all about Palestine now. After all, he can afford to be, since he managed to accomplish his first goal. Bush and Cheney, at the first possible moment after 9/11 moved our troops out of Saudi Arabia, showing all of the world that if you manage to cause Americans great shock and awe, our preznit will do whatever you want him to.
Nevertheless, with that statement, Osama has defeated Obama no matter what he does. If Obama takes a more balanced approached to middle east policy, the GOP will say that Obama is giving-in to the terrorists, even though we all hoped Obama would do just that, a balanced approach, when we voted for him. By more balanced, we mean that the U.S. stops it's knee-jerk, reactionary support of Israel no matter what they are caught doing. We won't even allow a meaningless, but well-deserved, U.N. resolution against Israel to pass, without a swift veto. If Obama states that our reactionary support for Israel will simply get more reactionary, the U.S. loses support with the rest of the world. Since Americans do not seem to think that the latter matters, even after the loss of world support has had such devastating effects on everything from military to our economic strength, putting us on a similar path to destruction that the Soviets walked not all that long ago, we will vote for those knee-jerk goopers again.
