September 11 - Still No Osama Bin Laden

As we remember the victims of September 11, 2001, we are reminded by the surreal videos from Osama Bin Laden that he is still at large six years after George W. Bush promised to capture him "dead or alive"! Yet another failed promise by a failed leader. Worse yet we are bogged down in a war that seems to have only lose-lose scenarios no matter what we do. In my lifetime I never thought we would see another Vietnam happen. I thought that event would be "seared" in our collective memories. President Bush not only forgot the lessons of Vietnam he tried to put a new political spin on it by saying we should have stayed there. How many more American lives would have been lost by that type of thinking is beyond comprehension. We can only ponder six years later the course of American history, if we elected to go after Osama instead of Suddam. We owe the answers to that question to the victims of 9/11. Instead we are getting new spin from Bush's handlers, that Osama Bin Laden is no longer that important. That is contrary to the views of most of the intelligence/security experts who state that Bin Laden is still the most dangerous terrorists we face today. Our only hope now is that the weakling Democrat's will somehow get some spine before November 2008 and really challenge Bush and his disasterous policies. Waiting until November of next year will cost us yet more precious American lives and more innocent Iraqi lives.
