Osama is Dead!?! Wha?
Remember the story last week of a predator drone capturing video of 100+ taliban officials and commanders at a funeral and we did nothing? Could they have been there for the funeral of Osama bin Laden?
Well, if it is true, those who know will never admit to it. And if by some chance the muslim world accepts it as true, they'll only blame the U.S. for his death. After all, were we not chasing him he wouldn't have had to live in the condition he did and contracted typhoid.
And, realistically, what would change in the War on Terror if Osama were dead? For those who claim victory will be achieved with the capture or death of Osama bin Laden, may I remind you all of Abu Musab al Zarqawi? He's dead, and the conflict continues. Besides which, this war was never about capturing and killing one man. It's always, from the very beginning, been about killing one ideology. But, as I've said in the past, the only way to kill an ideology is to replace it with another greater ideology.
The question now is: How realistic is it to expect Democracy, a system of government, to replace radicalized Islam, a system of religion?

Wait a minute...
I thought that Bush/Cheney had him in a cage, waiting for October!
I was a little curious to know what had all of those Al-Qaeda big-wigs gathered up in one spot like that...
We absolutely should have bombed that gathering...
How cool would THAT have been?
