The "War On Terror" Is Not Working!

The latest Osama bin Laden tape is the icing on the cake. Sour icing.

The man that perpetrated the 9/11 tragedy is still on the loose! He's looking healthy, fit, well dressed and very relaxed. And issuing sound bites to the American public, trying to get George Bush re-elected. See my earlier notes about that.

Why hasn't he been captured? With all the technology and power we have, it boggles my mind that we cannot track down and capture one man. Or kill him. No matter where he is on the planet. The President says that al Qaida is on the run, but it certainly looks to me that if they are on the run, it's toward Iraq to disrupt its reconstruction.

Another amazing fact is that the cost of the "war on terror" is pushing $200,000,000,000.00 and Osama bin Laden is still running around loose!!! Arggghhh! And also, why haven't we captured the Taliban Chief Mullah Omar? Double Arggghhh!

The President says the "war on terror" is going well. I don't think any Iraqi citizen living in Baghdad would agree with him. Or the reporters in Iraq that are afraid to leave their hotels unless accompanied by American soldiers. Or the Spanish. Or any of the coalition members that are pulling out of Iraq. And I certainly would not even begin to consider taking the tour my then 75 year old mother took twenty tears ago to Israel and Egypt. Yikes!

I certainly think it's past time to change the Commander-In-Chief and his Administration in order to get something accomplished in this supposed "war on terror".
