Political Opinions / where's osama
« on: February 20, 2003, 07:38:11 PM »
after reading several posts in this section of the forum, i developed a question: where's osama bin laden? what happened to him? it was over a year ago now that the "war on terrorism" began, i still haven't seen his head on a stick or heard it on the news. is the government actually telling us that this old, poor, dirty muslim(not that being muslim is a problem) outsmart us just by hiding in a cave? what the hell? are we not the country that rebelled from the british with a half-assed army? are we not the country that helped in vietnam? are we not the country that was involved in dessert storm? are we not the country with an army bin laden couldn't even afford to dream of? i think we are. so if we can do all that, if we have more man-power, if we have more heart, why is it then, that we can't find osama bin laden? this really does baffle me. i mean, here he is just toying with us. he sends us a video tape from half-way across the world, and we get all riled up about it. personally, i think he knows this. he knows we cant find him. but why cant we? we have the technology, dont we? with all the people in the country paying taxes to the government we should. we should be able to monitor the country and find where "unusual" activity is taking place. i mean... its not like there are any new yorks or chicagos for him to hide in. just a few run-down shacks and some mountains. now maybe im looking at this the wrong way, but i think this "war on terrorism" should have ended already. and for that matter, are we even still looking for him? how can we afford a war with iraq when we are at war with terrorism? is there really enough room in american minds for 2 wars at the same time? i would think not. am i wrong?
