Where The Hell Is Osama?

Everytime I think I'm done with the 9/11 attacks, everytime I think "Well, it doesn't matter now, the story is official.", something, something leads me back. It's like a little voice in my head.

Now, besides the usual questions regarding the towers falling into their footprints, the internal steel melting at a point below what it was designed for, and the fall of WTC 7 for no apparent reason, etc...my questions these days revolve around the Osama. His continued freedom, the trial we will never get to see.

On 9/11/01 we get smacked. All manner of "accidents" happen at the same time which result in 3000 people dying (and in, let's face it, horrible ways. You should never have to make the choice between a plunge off the world's tallest building or being burned alive.).

On 9/28/01 Osama denys any role in the attacks.

On 11/12/01 we have him cornered in Afghanistan, which the White House later confirms.

this from the Christian Science Monitor:

'Pir Baksh Bardiwal, the intelligence chief for the Eastern Shura, which controls eastern Afghanistan, says he was astounded that Pentagon planners didn't consider the most obvious exit routes and put down light US infantry to block them.
"The border with Pakistan was the key, but no one paid any attention to it," he said, leaning back in his swivel chair with a short list of the Al Qaeda fighters who were later taken prisoner. "And there were plenty of landing areas for helicopters, had the Americans acted decisively. Al Qaeda escaped right out from under their feet."
The intelligence chief contends that several thousand Pakistani troops who had been placed along the border about Dec. 10 never did their job, nor could they have been expected to, given that the exit routes were not being blocked inside Afghanistan. '

On 12/13/01 The White House releases a tape, on which they say bin Laden confesses.

On 12/20/01 The German televison channel Das Erste disputes the White House translation of the tape, which they say is not only wrong, but "manipulative".

And since then, and usually on important occasions, he sends us messages. Not George Bush. not Tony Blair and the Brits. He sends them to us.

And oddly enough, his continued correspondance fails to remind most of America that George Bush failed in his promise to capture Osama - oh, what were the words? oh yeah..

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01.

Dead or Alive, right?
