At the risk of getting everyone depressed and upset.
I saw this on Yahoo News:
Bin Laden plans to release new video
It will be 6 (SIX!) years after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, so why the ****-ing **** can't anyone find this guy? Does no one else find this to be beyond incredible??
What happened to the so-called "intelligence" agencies of the US, the UK, Israel, FBI, CIA, MI6, Interpol, etc.
The US has satellites that can read a license plate from outer space, yet we can't find this guy? Granted, we may not have maps of Afghanistan or wherever he may be hiding, but don't we have intelligence officers? What about other countries?
And let's not get into Bush's speech after 9/11 about how we won't rest until we found Bin Laden. (Anyone want to post the exact wording of his speech?)
Yet, here we are, SIX years later: the US is stuck in a losing war in Iraq and Bin Laden is still releasing video tapes making fun of us.
In related news, does anyone know if New York City has made any progress on building anything where the World Trade Center used to be? Or is it still a gaping hole in the ground... SIX YEARS LATER!
As Penn & Teller said on their show, nothing would be a bigger "F** You" to the terrorists than for us to build another set of towers in the exact same shape. Sure, they can knock the buildings down, but we will rebuild.
Instead, six years later, we still have a huge hole in the ground to remind us what happened... and remind us that we're not moving on.
So, I apologize if I think that "Is Poser art?" is a trivial question right now.
