So now Bush says its important to capture Bin Laden. Anybody got the
quote where he dismissed OBL as "not important".

Post from "The Rake"....

"Bush confident Bin Laden will be captured"

Big talk from a guy who has spent four and one half years "hunting" Osama, which, in case you are keeping score, is now one year more than we spent on Adolf Hitler. And three years more than we spent deposing Saddam Hussein, who had nothing to do with attacking the United States, and couldn't have done so even if he wanted to...because he had no weapons.

The only more preposterous crap we've been hearing lately is from all the flacks telling us that there is no civil war in Iraq. Here's a clue, Sean Hannity: when there is a country that has two factions and those factions are trying their best to kill each other, that's the definition of a civil war.

I guess you could say it's not a civil war only if you don't admit that Iraq is really one country, and that countries don't really matter much at all in the Muslim world anyway. What does seem to matter is whether you are Sunni or Shiite. And if you define your boundaries that way, we don't have a civil war, we have a world war in the making, with the world's oil supply right in the middle.

And when that all goes to hell, Hugo Chavez will be holding a lot of cards in the big game. When are we planning to topple his statue in Caracas?

2. I wouldn't be surprised if Bin Laden or a lookalike was "captured" soon or
"killed" in a firefight.
