Is there no good news in the world? There's precious little in this thread.

Does it not bother you that bin Laden now sets our foreign policy for us? Bin Laden wants us to attack Iraq and we oblige. He taunts us not to leave and we don't. Lovely! We are puppets on a string, while 36% of the population continue to insist that the chief puppet is a strong leader.

What's particularly ironic is that we wouldn't be chatting so amiably about these issues if the President had taken out bin Laden like he promised instead of leading us into this disastrous adventure in Iraq.
