Osama Bin-Forgotten

Remember this guy?


Osama released another selection from his "greatest hits," which mysteriously gets from a moutain top in Pakistan over to Al Jazeera without any fingerprints whatsoever, as if it just fell from - the U.S. governments hands...err, the sky.

Everyone's heard the news by now, but the tape relay an encouraging development. Bin-Forgotten spoke of Iraq has becoming a point of attraction and recruitment of qualified solidiers.
The bad news is he wasn't exactly speaking of the Iraqi army we've been waiting to get trained so we can leave the region.

After the tape had been released and beamed into the homes across America, Bush made an appearance in Sterling Virgina to campain for himself.

Bush's thoughts on the tape: "What tape?"

That's right - the gossipy soccer mom down the road from you knew about the tape while she was making that evening's meatloaf but President Bush didn't have a clue.

It prompted the following question from a reporter:

Q: “Scott, during the appearance in Sterling, Virginia, the President didn’t find out about the reported tape until after that was over –”

McCLELLAN: “That’s correct.”

Q: “– and you have a situation where millions of people are watching television, they’re learning about the tape before the President does. Doesn’t the White House see that as – view that as kind of awkward, and was any thought given to perhaps giving him a note or somehow concluding that event –”

McCLELLAN: “No, I don’t think – he was briefed immediately after the remarks, and I think that was an appropriate time to inform him of it.”

I have an idea - perhaps Bush can explain in his own words:

"So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him...to be honest with you. " - March 13, 2002

(note: the quote above was recently edited by the RNC, where it was preceeded by, "you know...I'd have to be one hell of a fucking idiot to say,...")

You'll notice the Osama clock in the lower right hand corner of the site is still going strong.
