Re: BREAKING: OSAMA BIN LADIN STILL DEAD.
I'm just realizing that my ex-roomate mikie's birthday is the same day as the anniversary of OBL's death... So Mike, you may not like Obama, you may have threatened me with violence for pointing out that there was no tie between Saddam and 911, however, Obama gave your a great birthday present last year....

The sad thing is, he probably would've been caught/killed sooner if there hadn't have been that "OOOOOH SHINY THING!" moment with Iraq.
Seriously, everyone was all geared up for sticking it to the 'Evul Nayshun of Afghunnustun (tm)', then all left-field, like a shiny peice of tinfoil, comes Iraq. And with that comes a sudden humming and hawwing from the rest of the world "Well yes invading one nation over the actions of one man (and a handful of terrorists) is all well and good...but we need something a bit more...concrete, to go invading yet another nation other than 'I want to out-do my daddy/My daddy got embarrsinated/Newkewlaw weaponses."
Although why there was a war in the first place, as if the whole nation of Afghanistan needed to be brought to heel is beyond me.
Still, I suppose it was simply too much effort not to have a war.
