Oh this is just getting classic. I have heard that Bush is a Chickenshit, that we are to blame, that Bin Ladin should go free (after all he did deny his involvement), and nitpicking about choice of words.

Bush being chickenshit. Personally I have a strong admiration for him, and I didn't vote for him. He has made himself a target. Do you think this is not so? He shows up to examine each site, a place filled with possible dangers, from people or environment. He did exactly what I would have expected any president to do in this situation. Gather together all of the information, from a safe location. That does not make him a coward, it does make him a responsible person, knowing what sort of fury this nation would pitch into if something happened to it's president.

Our blame because of Palastine? Get over it. Seriously, no I mean it... People love waving that banner around. Because we are so uncaring about the conflict, people are going to attack us? Please, this needed no excuse, and to provide a scapegoat is insulting. If they wanted to make a point about that there would have been many other effective ways to have done so.

Bin Ladin's claim of "I didn't do it." Do I care, nope. This man is not some John Doe on the street, being fingered for a mugging. This is a man that HAS ATTACKED, HAS THREATENED, the United States. But Peg, I suppose your'e right, he didn't do this one... so lets just let him go. Please! This man has done horrible things and made the mistake (three weeks prior) of saying that there would be an unprecedented attack against the US. Hmmm.. perhaps it was a misquote, perhaps he was just ranting, perhaps he is a prophet? Or, perhaps, just on a wild chace, he knew something about this attack. Due process, it is a wonderful word when we don't wish to get our hands dirty. Our hands are already dirty, if Bin Ladin wanted to prove his innocense. He would have turned himself in. An Islamic court would try him, and may even let him go. The US would not attempt to attack him while in custody of a court. That would have a potentially disasterous backlash.

Picking and choosing words. Personally, I was glad when I heard bush say 'Dead or Alive.' It is the measure of this nation's resolve. Should he have chosen words more carefully, sure... let's see how about....

"If the Taliban would please, talk to Bin Ladin and find out if he did this. I mean, he has alot of people nervous, he has said very, very mean things about us and we just want to know that he is sorry. So, please tell him to give us a call sometime so that we can discuss this like adults."

I prefer Dead or Alive. let him and the world know the measure of our resolve, and let there be no misunderstanding of our anger.
