UBL hend on a SPIKE

The most recent report from the French Intelligence agency (oxymoron?) that Bin Laden died from a diesease leaves me somewhat cold.

Call me old fashion, but I see a metaphorical opportunity slipping away. The various rumors about the "tall one" (another oxymoron) having kidney disease etc. combined with the supposed Pakistani compromise with the Taliban elders (a thrid oxymoron) on the Afgan/Pakistan border reminds me of how half-hearted we are fighting the War on Terror.

Nevermind the political touchdown hanging Bin Laden at ground zero Manhattan would provide...the victims, their families and we deserve to see justice. People like Pat Tilman (former Az. NFL star and army ranger) enlisted to (as Larry the Cable Guy says) "git-r-done". He did not envision being in Iraq, he wanted to fight the enemy.

I am a simple farm boy from Delaware, but I have seen far too often where the collective wisdom of the average American trumps the over-thought strategies of the well-heeled, highly-lettered, Ivy-schooled, pink-handed, Global-savvy Washington elite. (or as Forest Gump says..."stupid is as stupid does Mrs. Blue"!)

Can we simply accept that Musharraf is either incapable or unwilling to get the job done...hence we should take off the gloves and allow the U.S. military to perform their job without the mitigating restrictions the mis-guided State dept. imposes.

Those that fear making Bin Laden a matyr have overlooked the fact that everyday he evades capture or death promotes his legacy in Extremist Islam-land. I'd rather see him gravel in the courts and beg for his life as we fly a Boeing 747 into his hate-filled body during halftime at the Superbowl. (The commercial proceeds should go to every family member of the now 2,800 US servicemen casualties and the 20,000 injured).

A couple daisy-cutters a week until the job gets done or encirle the region, tighen the rope (where's Patton when you need him) while the misguided Al Qaida wanna be's come to Bin Laden's aid get picked off...now there is a global plan I can get behind!

Those that provide Bin Laden this haven of safety will not be victims of collateral damage, but rather reaping the reward for thier alignment with evil. I'd much rather set the tone and precendent that everywhere we think he is...a cruise missile shows up until the here-to-for phantom muslim moderates...seek him out and serve him up.

Moderate Islam is an illusion, they have either immigrated to the West or are so impotent asto make their existance irrelevant.

Ground zero on the War on Terror is not Bagdad...it's Pakistan!
