He's still alive and on the loose.
Whatever the President has said in reaction to the bin Laden video, the one glaring fact remains...he has failed to capture the mastermind behind the fiery murders of 3,000 innocent American civilians.
Of all the crimes and misdemeanors this President has committed since taking office (and there are many, and the founding fathers are rolling over in their graves over the fact that nothing has been done about them), THIS is, in my mind, the #1 reason that he should be impeached and removed from office (along with his Vice-President).
Why Americans aren't up in arms over this is beyond me. Imagine for a second what a Republican congress would have done to a "President Gore" had he sat back for six years without capturing the mastermind behind the worst terrorist attack against the United States.
I tell you what they would had done...they would have impeached Gore and scared enough Democrats to vote for his conviction and removal from office. And we'd now be sitting through the administration of President Joseph Lieberman.
Then again, a "President Gore" would have poured all of our resources - everything we had - into Afghanistan. At the end of the seventh year of a "Gore Administration," bin Laden would be nothing but shit dust blowing around the mountains of Pakistan, and we wouldn't be sitting here reading about a new videotape from the murderous son-of-a-bitch.
But sadly, Gore hasn't been president. Instead we've had this imbecile in the Oval Office. The result of Bush's incompetence? I'll let CIA Director Michael Hayden answer that (from a speech today in New York):
al-Qaida has regained strength and its leadership continues to plot a "high-impact" attack on the United States.Impeach. Bush. Now.
