Flirting With Disaster
The vile spectacle of Democrats rooting for bad news in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There it was at the tail end of Brian Faler's "Politics" roundup column in last Saturday's Washington Post. It was headed, simply, "Quotable":
"I wouldn't be surprised if he appeared in the next month." Teresa Heinz Kerry to the Phoenix Business Journal, referring to a possible capture of Osama bin Laden before Election Day.
As well as being "quotable" (and I wish it had been more widely reported, and I hope that someone will ask the Kerry campaign or the nominee himself to disown it), this is also many other words ending in "-able." Deplorable, detestable, unforgivable. …
The plain implication is that the Bush administration is stashing Bin Laden somewhere, or somehow keeping his arrest in reserve, for an "October surprise." This innuendo would appear, on the face of it, to go a little further than "impugning the patriotism" of the president. It argues, after all, for something like collusion on his part with a man who has murdered thousands of Americans as well as hundreds of Muslim civilians in other countries.

I am not one of those who likes to tease Mrs. Kerry for her "loose cannon" style. This is only the second time I have ever mentioned her in print. But I happen to know that this is not an instance of loose lips. She has heard that very remark being made by senior Democrats, and—which is worse—she has not heard anyone in her circle respond to it by saying, "Don't be so bloody stupid." I first heard this "October surprise" theory mentioned seriously, by a prominent foreign-policy Democrat, at an open dinner table in Washington about six months ago. Since then, I've heard it said seriously or semiseriously, by responsible and liberal people who ought to know better, all over the place. It got even worse when the Democratic establishment decided on an arm's-length or closer relationship with Michael Moore and his supposedly vote-getting piece of mendacity and paranoia, Fahrenheit 9/11. (The DNC's boss, Terence McAuliffe, asked outside the Uptown cinema on Connecticut Avenue whether he honestly believed that the administration had invaded Afghanistan for the sake of an oil or perhaps gas pipeline, breezily responded, "I do now.")
What will it take to convince these people that this is not a year, or a time, to be dicking around? Americans are patrolling a front line in Afghanistan, where it would be impossible with 10 times the troop strength to protect all potential voters on Oct. 9 from Taliban/al-Qaida murder and sabotage. We are invited to believe that these hard-pressed soldiers of ours take time off to keep Osama Bin Laden in a secret cave, ready to uncork him when they get a call from Karl Rove? For shame.

Ah well, you've said your fair share of things that have made me have little seizures, so I think it's only fair.phatmonky said:That makes me puke a little in my mouth.

There's a really fine line between being opinionated and having diarhea of the mouth.wasteofo2 said:Good god, and opinionated Woman, what next, will they want to own property, have equal rights, be able to speak their mind, OR EVEN VOTE?!
Next time Rush Limbaugh says that Liberals want there to be more terrorist attacks on America, want the economy to fail, want there to be more deaths in Iraq, and want Democracy in Iraq to fail, I'll be sure to make a fuss about it and say he's got urine in his throat, as he has much more power in politics than the woman who may be First Lady. Hell, next time Bush says Iraq's going great, I'll say he's got poop in his brain. And just because it's Tuesday, next time Rumsfeld says anything at all I complain about him having semen in his nose.kat said:There's a really fine line between being opinionated and having diarhea of the mouth.

Man, getting sarcasm across over the internet's hard. I didn't mean it the way you interpereted it, it was meant to be a jab at you, not trying to show you don't think women should own property etc. but to say things as ridiculous as you sometimes say that give me little seizures when I read them.phatmonky said:I can see how you could confuse my disgust with TH Kerry's personality with disgust of women owning property, having equa...oh wait, I can't.

I'll stick to being more blunt in the future.
There is no evidence to suggest that this actually happened. The official story is that Osama Bin Laden was killed by US Navy SEALs in a raid on his compound in Pakistan in 2011.
There are various conspiracy theories that suggest the government, particularly former President George W. Bush, may have played a role in the death or disappearance of Osama Bin Laden. However, these theories lack credible evidence and are largely considered to be false.
No, there is no record of anyone from the Bush administration claiming responsibility for this alleged act.
The official story, as stated by the US government, is that Osama Bin Laden was killed by Navy SEALs in a raid on his compound in Pakistan on May 2, 2011. His body was then buried at sea.
No, there is no credible evidence to support this theory. The official story of Osama Bin Laden's death has been corroborated by multiple sources and investigations.
