Rhetoric circa 2001
"I want justice," he said after a meeting at the Pentagon, where 188 people were killed last Tuesday when an airliner crashed into the building. "And there's an old poster out West that says, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.'"
Rhetoric circa 2005
Some wonder whether Iraq is a central front in the war on terror. Among the terrorists, there is no debate. Hear the words of Osama Bin Laden: "This Third World War is raging" in Iraq. "The whole world is watching this war." He says it will end in "victory and glory, or misery and humiliation."
From "Wanted Dead or Alive" to "Osama Said So"? Our presence in Iraq is now being justified, by the the opinion of a madman we can't catch, who may or may not still be in the country we abandoned to create the "terrorist flypaper" in Iraq, and is like #1 on the FBI's most wanted?
Keee-rist!
We know where the madman who is justifying this was is located. We just didn't have the cojones to call him out, or the sense to not elect him for president again.

And since we know Bush and company wouldn't touch Saudi Arabia if they flew a nuke up our asses we can only ponder whether or not Osama has found a safe haven there.
