Bin Laden the Scarlet Pimpernel

I forgot to put a bet on Bin Laden being captured dead or alive before the US mid term elections. They didn't have it on Ladbokes website. And now we hear he may have expired. What will Bush do without his glamorous assistant, if this is true? Every Jungian archetype needs a shadow side. Every Western needs a baddie. Every James Bond film needs a Mr. Evil. This will never do. He can't just cough his last and shuffle off his mortal coil in a cave somewhere, he needs to be Totally Precision Killed, in a way that allows his identifiable corpse to be paraded about on Fox News.

Still, blog reader Hugh points out that Rove has been promising GOP insiders an October surprise and a recent tete a tete with Pakistan's president ( who made it clear that US friendship was the preferable option to being 'bombed back to the stone age') plus shenanigans on the Pakistani border may yet allow a rabbit to be pulled out of the hat...

They'll just find another scapegoat, another patsy next in line. Easy!

Bush does not need to ¨DO¨ anything, for ages and ages now, US presidents have
only been permitted two terms. This is President Bush´s second and last term.

Oh yawn, so this whole terrorism thing is a fabrication. There were no
terrorist incidents before the world trade centre attack? Zzz! Except, of
course the world trade centre attack before that. But dippy folk conveniently
like to forget that one.

Then there were the attacks on American assets in Africa before that, Oh! do
not forget the Glorious but bloody reign of the bestial Yasser Arafat, going
beck to the seventies. He was a pretty indiscriminate murderer.

Lest it be forgotten, in no particular chronological order, Achille Lauro,
numerous aircraft hijacking and the destruction of Pan Am 103 and murder of
two hundred and fifty nine innocent people on board. Not to mention the eleven
people on the ground. Not necessarily all Arafats responsibility though, Pan
Am 103 was probably Iranian inspired terrorism.

Yea, terrorism is all the fault of Bush ´n Blair, if it wasn´t for them, we
would all be tucked up in bed and the story would all end happily.

Anonymous,

You've unfortunately missed the point of the post. At no point do I imply that terrorism is a fabrication. One clue as to why I might think that is to be found at the top of the blog.
