Where's Osama? or Preznit'n is Hard Work

Spreadin' democracy is almost as hard a job as findin' Osama, cause you know Preznit'n is hard, hard work. (right after vacation, recess, nap time, fallin' off bicycles, and brush clearin')

The back-to-back nature of the deadly attacks in Egypt and London, as well as similarities in the methods used, suggests that the al Qaeda leadership may have given the orders for both operations and is a clear sign that Osama bin Laden and his deputies remain in control of the network, according to interviews with counterterrorism analysts and government officials in Europe and the Middle East.
Really. From the third debate last year.
KERRY: Six months after he said Osama bin Laden must be caught dead or alive, this president was asked, "Where is Osama bin Laden?" He said, "I don't know. I don't really think about him very much. I'm not that concerned."

BUSH: Bush: Gosh, I just don' think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. It's kind of one of those exaggerations.

FACT CHECK: Bush stumbled when he denied making some remarks about Osama bin Laden that Kerry had accurately paraphrased. In fact, Bush said almost exactly what Kerry quoted him as saying. It was in a news conference at the White House on March 13, 2002, after US forces had overturned the Taliban regime in Afghanistan:

Q: (March 13, 2002): Mr. President, in your speeches now you rarely talk or mention Osama bin Laden. Why is that?

BUSH: So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him , to be honest with you. I truly am not that concerned about him. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country.

51% stupid. Cause Preznit'n is hard work!

Here's a thought ... doesn't the flypaper theory contradict our other stated goal in Iraq, that of spreading democracy? Iraq would be halfway to democracy by know if we weren't also using the place as a terrorist battleground. Only a moron would choose to "fight the terrorists there" in a place where he was trying to build democracy from scratch.

So either Bush is a moron, or the flypaper theory is a bogus rationale designed to give the illusion that Bush has a plan in Iraq. It's his way of saying, "I meant to do that."
