Re: Mission actually accomplished (4.00 / 4)

Well, that's bin laden's mission accomplished. Our mission is finally seeing the light of day, though i would guess there's still a fair amount of work to be done.

That's a brilliant catch, J. Though lo and behold, he didn't do it, we did. With our own addictions, with our own blindness, and with our own refusal to see reality.

Silver bullet or not, it's nice to know we're providing a reasonable alternative to the insanity that goes for conventional wisdom among the Serious.

And where is bin Laden now? Serving justice for 9/11, or playing chess in some embassy in Islamabad? I ought to be sure the White House has him where it wants. Still a useful prick after all those years...
