Does anyone else find it intriguing that as W's approval rating has plummeted, the Western World's nemesis has not bothered to write or drop off an audio tape or cave-produced video at al-Jazzerra?
With al-Qaida's latest stab at coordinated attacks across England (all those busts earlier in the week only missed what became a burning car in Glascow) plus the ever-crumbling scenes in Iraq and Afghanistan, it strikes me as odd that the Sheik did not take the time to offer his infidel penpals a little extremist rhetoric.
So I have to wonder if he's dead. French intelligence reported typhoid got him last year, but no one substantiated it elsewhere. Maybe the boogeyman of the Western World just needs a new tape deck or video camera.
Or maybe the millionaire Islamic revolutionary has grown content with the simple life of Pakistan's mountain region, farms only for subsistence and has left oversight of future attacks to his eager deputies ... nah, probably not.
Not that the whereabouts of bin Landen amount to much.
At this point, his death would impact America's terror war standing as much Saddam hanging at the gallows turned around Iraq.
