Call me conspiratorial, but it almost seems as if Bush doesn't want to catch bin Laden. But that couldn't be, could it? We've been diligently searching for him ever since 9/11. Or have we? "I really don't think that much about him," Bush told the press when he was asked about bin Laden way back when.
Today, if you ask ranking members of the CIA about bin Laden, they always say something like: "We know he's hiding out somewhere in the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan, but damned if we can find him!" Thirty billion bucks a year we spend on our intelligence community and we can't find an NBA-sized Saudi prince hiding out in a cave whose family has business connections with the Bush boys and the Carlyle Group!
So whenever you hear Herr Bush and his stiff-arm saluting sycophants in the mainstream media use the term War on Terror as a pretext for eavesdropping on your phone conversations, or spying on your private activities, or curtailing your individual liberties, just remember that the term is a propaganda slogan that has nothing to do with protecting our freedom or democracy and everything to do with keeping average Americans under the boot heel of our fearless leader.
