Speaking of the Bin Laden Tape:
Does anyone have a count of how many "NUMBER 2's" we have supposedly killed since the "Mission Accomplished" banner was atrociously and dubiously hung by the deserter?

It is all a ploy, friends.. Tricks and mirrors.

However, people on all sides are growing weary of the magic show!

1. I tend to think that the UBL threat is real. I also believe that the US
government response to this threat has been, for whatever reason, completely ineffective. I am pissed that after all is said and done, the bastard is out there still making threats.

3. Assuming OBL is still alive, which I doubt,
He is in the employ of the white house gang, headed by cheney.

4. I think that the thing that prevents that from happening is that
somebody would tell. Those guys seem to stick with doing bad stuff that is out in the open, that has the cover of some sort of hack quasi-legal cover, things like Halliburton, the IWR, and so on.

11. I haven't heard the tape in its entirety..
Many may disagree with this, but I honestly do not think that terrorism, Bin Laden, and such are the most pertinent dangers we are facing in our country today. Rather, I think that imperialism, fascist policy, and constitutional abandonment by the President and his ilk are far more dangerous. This is especially dangerous to our soldiers, who must risk their lives in spite of the ideology behind the President's illegal whims.

2. I am certain that somewhere down the line:
Mr. Rove or Mr. Cheney decided it best to keep him out there somewhere..

Mr Orwell did a great job of outlining the necesseity of "Perpetual War" in order to create and perpetuate the Dystopia.

6. Al-Qa'ida "central" #2s?
Or in Zarqawi's branch office?

If Zarqawi's is what you have in mind, I have no clue. Except that it's rather like disposing of the ranking staff member. There's another in line for the '#2' slot.

For AQ 'central', we haven't gotten any, a ridiculously easy number to keep track of. You start counting, and before you get to one, you stop. It's been the same CEO and COO since '01. After that, you get into various jobs, and it's unclear there's ever been a single #3.

12. "Number 2" aka "collateral damage" aka "civilians".
Just new terminology for the slaughter of civilians.
