1.The crap that comes out of our president’s mouth.
Today in Afghanistan, George Dubya asserted that when it comes to Osama Bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar, “It’s not a matter of if they’re captured and brought to justice. It’s when they’re brought to justice.”
I’m curious what calendar Dubya lives by. My calendar is just an Outlook freebie but according to it, it’s been four and a half years since he vowed Bin Laden would be taken “dead or alive.” Since then, his “resolve” in finding Bin Laden has mysteriously gone all the way to Iraq where there’s as much chance of finding Nicole Brown Simpson’s killer as Osama. Heck, Dick Cheney has had more success in nabbing rich guys in hiding than Bush has.
I guess Dubya remembers the thunderous applause he received to his inital promise and thought that by restating it, he’d hear the cheers again and bump up his dismal 34% approval rating. It’s kind of like when a comic tells a joke that gets a great response so he tells the punchline again with slightly different wording but this time, the audience sits there in silence thinking, “What the hell? Does he really think we’re so stupid to fall for that again?”
I’ve never understood the tactic of making grand declarations you don’t know for certain you can live up to. It’s a testosterone-filled competitive behavior that only succeeds in making you look like a jackass when you fail. Whatever happened to “Actions speak louder than words?” I really do hope Osama’s caught and brought to justice but in the meantime, Bush should take a note from his own actions immediately following the 9/11 attacks and just sit tight and keep his mouth shut.

As always, very funny and right on the money. Hey, maybe that should be your catchphrase.
It’s exactly why I dont make promises. I know that something could change, in a heartbeat, forcing me to break my promise. And if you do that, you lose all trust, you know?
Hey great post. Your calendar is the same as mine so I hope mine is ok too 8O. I liked the remark about Dick, very amusing.
Unfortunately when he first said four and a half years ago most of the masses bought it. Only a small amount didn’t. As time went by a few more thought “Hang on, Saddam + Bin Laden are more chalk and cheese as opposed to two peas in a pod. Why are we going to war in Iraq” So that was changed from cos OBL is there to WMD and now we all know how that story panned out. Now more people have wised up to this latest Bush war cry of catching his dear friend Osama but not enough. He won’t be caught until it is necessary ie approval ratings have fallen too low or when he needs to scare people into signing away more freedoms, like the Patriot Act 2. OBL is a patsy which justified the war on terror. This led to the illegal war in Iraq. Next you’ll hear he’ll be hiding out in Iran, don’t be surprised if Fox News brings it to you first.
Fox will spin it so the Neo Cons and right wing evangelicals will believe in Lord Bush and that’s about 40% of the voters which is a huge amount. In my opinion even if one person watches Fox then that is one too many. Fair and balanced my (well I won’t write the next word). There is a masterplan and Bush is following it near perfect. Be on the guard America from these unelected leaders.
Anyway I could go on all day but don’t want to take up all your page space. Once again great post.
