bin laden could have been dead for years and it would not have mattered.
the bush administration was the best pr outfit bin laden could have asked for, but the paradox is that the publicity he has recieved does not and did not require that he actually be alive--he worked just fine as the recurring bogeyman used to sell the entire fraud that is the "war on terror"--a fuzzy video image done far away referenced on fox news to assure the conservative set that there is some coherence behind the policies of this administration.
it is interesting to me how this story got into the press, and i wonder what might have taken place had this not happened--perhaps a bit of noxious theater showing the american capture of the corpse---from which would follow claims that this capture of a corpse vindicates everything and everyone. of course these claims would be tempered with rationales for not beginning to wind down this idiotic, self-defeating "war on terror"....
but now all that is shot to hell.
no wonder you get the bizarre turn in this thread above, the one that seeks to blame clinton for all this.
if the right didnt have clinton, they;ve have to face the disaster that is their politics.
can't have that.
