Osama Bin Hidin and George Doesn't Care...

Stardate 4473.3

I was merrily browsing through a few of my links, and I came across some quotes while reading Osama: Wanted Dead or Alive? on The Martian Anthropologist.

Remember September 11th, 2001? I do. In fact, I have written about it, exposing some of my fears, thoughts and stages of emotion as that day, and future events unfolded... Well the attacks on the US that day were the impetous for the monumental "War on Terror" that began with the invasion of Afghanistan, and later became perverted and distorted into the War on Iraq (or "Operation Iraqi Freedom" as some call it to make an illegal war actually sounds nice).

The quotes from The Martian's site are simple and quite clear in their meaning.

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." - George W. Bush (September 13, 2001)

"I don't know where he is and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - George W. Bush (March 13, 2003)

I am starting to think that the President himself has become so deluded with his lies and lack of clear thinking that he has forgotten what the "War on Terror" was to begin with. It has become a "War to Obtain Oil" now, and it is quite clear that whatever glimmer of noble intentions were originally there, have become so transparent that they may as well be forgotten.

Shame on him. Double shame on the people who continue to throw their hats in his ring, without stopping to think about what is really going on.
