Osama Bin Laden -- where are you?
You have not been found yet. In fact, we don’t hear much about you anymore. There was a time when we were told that troops were closing in on you and you’d be found in a matter of days. But then that talk stopped.
Everyone who flies now has to walk around in their stocking feet, little children are patted down by airport security, and the Patriot Act has kept us Americans right under the thumb and eye of the government-- but we aren’t the ones that masterminded 911 – it was you, and you’re still out there eating bonbons and having back rubs.
Sometimes when I’m drinking my morning coffee (like today) I think about you and wonder if you are snuggled up all comfy and cozy in a feather bed or if you are dining on your favorite foods or making love to one of your many wives and it makes me sick to my stomach.
Why are you such a needle in a haystack? I could recognize you in a second if you were in my town. So how is it our prez promised to find you and bring you to justice but nothing has happened? Why are you invisible?
We’ve gone to war in Iraq because of you, in fact, the current prez might very well have been elected from the effects of your egregious deeds and his promise to protect us from you and your ilk.
Because of you, a single squirrel on a power line causing a 15 minute blackout can cause people’s blood to curdle and shoot our blood pressure up to astronomically high numbers.
Because of you we have a constant terror alert on our news channels and of course, in our minds.
So where the hell are you and is anybody still looking for you?
I’ve heard more about Natalee Holloway, Jennifer Wilkens (runaway bride aka mourning dove) Lacy Peterson and numerous other people missing…but you seem to be receding from the news with each passing day.
Anyhow, Osama, I’m still looking for you and thinking about you and you should be very thankful I am not the president, because if I were, all the manpower and money going into the Iraq war would be used for tracking down your sorry ass, Buster.

Oh Mary Bishop, your wittiness in the face of this gawd awful administration makes hanni happy.
Yes, where the fuck is he hiding?
Is this government not really looking for him for reasons we don't know? He's not even hiding in the country we've invaded, Bin Laden is off somewhere although I dont' picture him comfy and cozy, MB, I think he's in some sandy place rolling on the ground with glee, that the US can't protect itself and what to do next.
I don't think this government really wants to find him, otherwise we would have already.
I also can't punctuate properly...
sorry for the run-on sentences but I think you get my point. (=
A happy Hänni makes a happy Mary! Thanks for the compliment!
Acumamakiki - we all followed the Saddam trail ( like good little sheep) while the tiger roamed, gloated and plotted more devious deeds.
It should be our first priority to get that bastard (remember the dead or alive speech by the prez?)
Four concurrent hijackings and thousands of people dead demand that he be caught.
I think that the administration wants to find him. Could you imagine Bush's ratings boost if we had Osama's head on a pike? It would be the best thing to happen to the Bush admin. The fact that they're too incompetent to find him is well, scary.
Marie, Four years is a long time to look for someone...somehow I don't think they'll ever find him..
I truly believe like you say, that there is no competent plan or person to implement the plan to come up with a creative solution to flush him out of hiding.
Our micro-managing overbearing goverment can find anything it wants anytime it wants...which leads me to the only logical conclusion...They must have stopped looking!

Bradley...it does make you feel like that, now doesn't it?
As usual, you've brought a proper smackdown. Now if only Mr Osama were around to take it...
I wonder if he has TIVO where he is. Cause I don't think I could hide this long without TIVO.
Yay!!! Ms Plum is moved in, unpacked, plugged in and back in Blog World!
So glad to see your name on my blog and I can't wait to read your blog stories of the move etc.
I think that someone should have told the Administration that Osama was hiding in New Orleans ... think how much faster the troops and aid would have arrived!
What's George Bush's position on Roe V. Wade? He doesn't give a rat's ass how people get out of New Orleans.
Nilbo, I fell off my seat with your roe vs wade comment...
What you say is funny/sad true...
