Bush Orders One Last Push To Get Bin Laden
Clearly, Bush wants to go out with a bang.
President George W Bush has enlisted British special forces in a final attempt to capture Osama Bin Laden before he leaves the White House.
Defence and intelligence sources in Washington and London confirmed that a renewed hunt was on for the leader of the September 11 attacks. “If he [Bush] can say he has killed Saddam Hussein and captured Bin Laden, he can claim to have left the world a safer place,” said a US intelligence source.
I hope we get him, and not just because it’d be nice to see that madman either confirmed dead (I think he’s already dead) or in custody, but also because I think it would help exonerate the Bush administration’s foreign policy which so richly deserves it.
In history, perception is more important than reality. The reality is that throughout its term in office the Bush administration has disrupted global terror networks, liberated two formerly repressed nations in the middle east and set the stage for an increased US presence in the middle east that has been, and continues to be, a major threat to the rest of the world. The perception permeated by the partisan media is that Bush invaded Iraq on false pretenses and has utterly failed to accomplish anything of consequences there.
If Osama ends up in custody, or confirmed dead, it will go a long way toward replacing perception with reality.
