"You do Osama Bin Laden's work for him."

I was struck by this phrase from Keith Olberman's evisceration of Rudy Giuliani. The full quote is:

"Claim a difference between the parties on the voters' chances of survival — and you do Osama Bin Laden's work for him."

And it hit me. That's exactly what's been going on in this country for the last six + years. At every single turn, this Administraion, aided and abetted by their Republican cronies in Congress and ball-less Democrats, seem to have done everything Bin Laden was aiming for on that awful September day.

It's like he knew us better than we knew ourselves. The Constitution has been weakened immeasurably, we, in our blood lust, went after the wrong enemy and we've alienated most of our allies.

It couldn't have gone better...for Bin Laden.

How very sad.

No, I think it's more of allowing all the people in from other countries in. All becuse everyone is afraid of Stepping on everyone's else's toes. Unreal.

But it goes beyond emboldening, doesn't it?

It seems to me that this is exactly the situation he hoped for with the attacks of September 11. They weren't simply an isolated act of terrible violence and destruction. They were the first domino.

You're optimistic.

I'm thinking Jesus is gonna have to make a guest appearance and be like, 'Y'all f*cked this one up!'

And I'm serious about that t-shirt. I'll be the first to buy one!

Bin Laden knows all about oil and how the US will react to anything he set out to do. Do you think Bin Laden's funding has been cut? No it hasn't.

The Bush administration has obviously capitalized from 9/11 and the "war" in Afghanistan and war on terror. Do you remember all that Anthrax scare crapola that went on directly after 9/11? Remember how the government was set to stockpile and mass-produce Cipro? Guess what! We haven't.

i just really believe that in 2000 he was almost guaranteed a win in the election and did everything in his power to lose it...

It's very hard to forgive Gore for conceding that election. So much could be different if Bush never happened.
