Babbling Toward Irrelevance
September 24th, 2006In France, a newspaper ran a leaked intelligence document alleging that bin Laden is dead. Everyone is denying the story, and I don’t buy it, either. It may be true or it may not be, but I’m unwilling to declare mission accomplished and say that bin Laden is dead until there’s good reason to believe as such. A French newspaper is not that evidence, and, as an aside, let me note that even if bin Laden were dead, it’d be with no help from the French. Unless he choked on a frog.
Hey, cut me some slack. I’m a Britain man, and if you ask the French President, he’ll tell you it’s all in good humor.
Gary Hart, the most famous of the suicidal Presidential candidates of the 1980s (“Go ahead, follow me, I’m a boring guy!” as opposed to, “The problems during my Presidency? They’re your fault, not mine!” [Carter] “I have no desire to avenge my wife if she’s raped and murdered; let’s talk about drug rehab!” [Dukakis] and “I will raise taxes!!” [Mondale]) has written an article this weekend, about the Bush Administration invading Iran this October. While that would certainly be some monkey business on Curious George’s part, I think that Gary is being a little paranoid with his assessment.
