No kidding????

Bin Laden most likely hiding on Pakistan side of border with Afghanistan: U.S. official. While not quite as forehead-slappingly obvious as the "Human Genes Still Evolving" story from a few weeks ago, this still makes me want to throttle someone. Do you think I can make money by publishing a news article declaring the sky to be blue, using prolific quotes from many experts (one of whom will argue that his colleagues are rushing to conclusions and may perhaps need to examine the evidence more closely) and maybe even a big picture? I could be famous!

Right now blogging this from Shannon airport
I am on my way to promote a revolutionary
document called Euston Manifesto which possibly even more revolutionary
than 1776/1917.
Cause of supporting a democratic revolution in the broader middle east
Is a cause that must be backed unequivocally, It is the fight to wear what you want, say what you, and last of to vote for who you want. Anyone who fails to support these rights has failed liberty. You have not responded to the hyperlink I posted on your site so maybe you should consider on the new one I posted. France is 61% Muslim and europe collapsing economically, demographically and mostly importantly its cowardly. This is something you think about when visit europe this summer, so is this the fate you what to befall america?

David, dearest, I was in that miserable country. I detest the way women are treated there. But let's not pretend that that is the reason we are militarily involved with them. We don't give a shit about human rights, democracy or fighting terrorism. If we did, we would be fighting for rights and democracy in North Korea, Darfur, and every other non-democratic oppressed nation. If we cared about fighting terrorism, bin Laden WOULDN'T BE IN PAKISTAN! It's not "news" that he's there - I was being fasticious. Anyone with half a brain knows that he's in friggin' Pakistan and yet we do nothing about it. Why isn't the man who arranged the murders of thousands of my countrymen (and many other innocent people of other nationalities) dead or captured? Why is he allowed to run free in Pakistan, a country not much better off human rights wise than Afghanistan? Why David? And why aren't you in Afghanistan right now? Like I said before, you don't have to be a U.S. citizen to be in the U.S. military. You have the link to the Marines already. Here's another: http://www.goarmy.com

David T: Actually, France is only about 5% Muslim. And their social problems are in all likelyhood due more to their socialist politics than anything else. Unless you're actually willing to risk your own life, your "manifesto" is about as useful as toilet paper. Actually, probably less useful, unless you had the foresight to print it on absorbant paper. As long as you remain yet another gutless chickenhawk, us vets are going to continue to hold you in contempt.

David T,
You sound like a complete fool, if you believe half of what you wrote above, then there is no doubting it.

Hey, Sara....

David T,

Please. Go. Away.

(Sorry Sara, someone had to say it.)

And in actual response to your post - run! Run! Before they come and get you (Sara, not you David T.) and try to send your ass back to go hunt Osama in the back hills of Afghanistan.

To All U.S. Government Officials:

Sara is officially through with her miltiary service now. Thanks for the good times and memories and life altering experiences, but she's had enough, and we've got her now.

May I offer you David T.? You have the tracking software. Go. Find him. Sign him up. This man is dying to be part of the "greatest march towards freedom ever witnessed in the middle eastern world." This is your guy, gentlemen. Get him!
