WE GONNA FIND OSAMA BIN LADEN
I'll always remember a Flip Wilson routine that used to crack me up. I do believe it had something to with Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand and Isabella. Anyway, the big laugh line was Wilson saying repeatedly in his falsetto voice a la Geraldine: We gonna find Ray Charles Always has made me laugh.
And that is just how I picture Harry Reid making the pronouncement the other day. We gonna find Osama Bin Laden. So, going on FIVE years later the dims are suddenly interested in the war on terror? Not exactly, but they are interested in winning an election.
This is from the AP story written by Liz Sidoti that I read on line the other day:
In the position paper to be announced Wednesday, Democrats say they will double the number of special forces and add more spies, which they suggest will increase the chances of finding al-Qaida's elusive leader. They do not set a deadline for when all of the 132,000 American troops now in Iraq should be withdrawn.
Of course the whole premise that if we were to find Osama, living and not dead, all our problems would be solved. We could break out the foam fingers, shout we're number one, and come home. The radical islamofascists would join us hand in hand in a chorus of I'd like to teach the world to sing. Everyone would have a Coke and go their separate ways. Not likely that.
Can you imagine that after Hitler killed himself in World War II we would have said Okay, war's over, last one leaving Europe turn out the lights, we have no more to do here. That would not have turned out very well at all now would it. By the by, we still to this day have troops in Europe and Asia. Imagine!
Also, nothing like announcing to the world you are going to be sending more spies over to, well, spy. Thanks for the heads up on your clandestine operation. Let's hope these new spies don't catch the Osamameister himself say, calling operatives in the US. I'm sure the spy would then have to make a quick trip home to get permission from a US court to listen. By the time he got back, maybe Chicago would be a smoldering ruin but, oh well, we protected Osama and associates civil rights!
Maybe the recently outed of the never in Valerie Plame could teach spy school for these new spooks? You'd have to have a school uniform: shades, head scarf, false mustache and that's just for the women! You could then take courses in how to get your spouse a job, how to manage a hectic social calendar and spying simultaneously, and how to be a leaking leaker of leaks.
Okay so my suggestions may be a tad bit far-fetched but what exactly are the details of this grand plan. Here's more from the story:
The platform also lacks specific details of how Democrats plan to capture bin Laden, the al-Qaida mastermind who has evaded U.S. forces in the more than four years since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
NO.......SPECIFIC.....DETAILS and that is exactly the grand Dim strategy on every single issue. Bash Bush, tell the American people you can do better but then offer NOTHING in the way of a solution.
Personally, I think they have a strategy but it is "top secret". I believe it involves a house, a tornado, a Kansas farm girl, and some ruby slippers. Hillary Clinton shall fly threw the air over the Middle East on her broom and write out SURRENDER OSAMA. If they can only get Osama to wear a pointed hat and paint his face green, well, then we are in business.
It is about as plausible as anything, which is nothing, that they have put forward.
Oh, I almost forgot........The secret weapon........AND TOTO TOO? oh yes TOTO TOO!
