Just What His Polls Needed

President Bush had not been informed of the new audiotape of Osama bin Laden issuing a new threat of attack against the United States on Thursday morning until after he finished a 74-minute public appearance here to tout successes in the economy – a theater-in-the-round-like event in which Bush parried and joked with his audience in the freewheeling manner of a seasoned television talk-show host.

"The president was informed about the audiotape shortly after his remarks in Sterling, Virginia, earlier this morning,'' White House spokesman Scott McClellan said later in Washington. "The intelligence community is continuing to analyze the tape to determine its authenticity and if there is any actionable intelligence. If there is any actionable intelligence, we will act on it.''

That could help explain Bush's ebullience and the playful spirit in which he fielded questions from a friendly audience on the floor of a warehouse at JK Moving and Storage. Anyone holding a BlackBerry would have learned just a minute before that event that Al Jazeerah was airing the tape of bin Laden's threat. The email alert from ABC News arrived at 10:15 am EST. Bush started speaking at 10:16 am...

Unknown, huh?

Dear Leader's family friend, detested by just about everybody in America, makes a big show of offering "truce" to Dear Leader's political opponents in America, or else. That's about as disinterested as Osama "supporting" Kerry over Bush in 2004. It's intended to produce the same result.

The CIA's covert employee said:

"In response to the substance of the polls in the US, which indicate that Americans do not want to fight Muslims on Muslim land, nor do they want Muslims to fight them on their land, we do not mind offering a long-term truce based on just conditions that we will stick to.

"We are a nation that Allah banned from lying and stabbing others in the back, hence both parties of the truce will enjoy stability and security to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan, which were destroyed by war.

"There is no problem in this solution, but it will prevent hundreds of billions from going to influential people and war lords in America - those who supported Bush's electoral campaign - and from this, we can understand Bush and his gang's insistence on continuing the war."

Addressing Americans again, he said: "If your desire for peace, stability and reconciliation was true, here we have given you the answer to your call."

Have your pseudo enemy cant the talking points of your political opponents with a spin that neither your opponents or your supporters would find acceptable.

Shrewd move, dude. Did Karl cook up that idea too?

Pulling America out of Iraq entirely today is a really good idea. Having the National Guard at home guarding the nation would be a good really good idea too. Pulling out of Iraq would be followed up with freezing all Saudi assets tracable to Saudi citizens financially supporting Al Qaeda, and treating Al Qaeda like a band of vicious criminals the same way the Israelis treated the Nazis after the Second World War.

Hunt them down individually and bring them to justice. Not "dead or alive". Alive. Especially Osama bin Laden, who is a Bu$hCo-Cheneyburton tool.

Bring them to justice in the open, with no secret trials.

Dear Leader would not like that.
