Bin Laden Message/Bush Coda?

There's a new message from Osama bin Laden, the latest of more than 60 from top Al-Qaeda operatives since September 11th, 2001.




This one, which the media is calling "purportedly" from bin Laden, calls for a holy war over Gaza. Right now it almost doesn't matter what his message is. That it comes less than a week before George W. Bush leaves office is a fitting period on Bush's eight year run-on sentence.

You remember that, in the wake of the 9-11 attacks, Bush went Old West in his rhetoric on bin Laden. "Dead or alive" was the adage at the time. Our president, ever the gunslinger, promised America and in fact the world that he'd be the one to bring this terrorist to justice.

Imagine people's surprise less than a year later when he said he neither knew nor cared where bin Laden was. "I am truly not that concerned about him" was what he said in early '02. Now, he leaves the hunt for bin Laden to Barack Obama, along with a shattered economy and two wars.

Bush never understood how important it was to capture bin Laden. He didn't realize the pain and frustration Americans feel each time one of these messages is released. Whether the messages resonate with jihadists around the world ought to be a concern for the man leaving the White House next week. It isn't.

In an interview with CNN's Larry King, Bush says he's "absolutely certain" bin Laden will be captured.



However, when asked if he's ever been close to being captured since the US invaded Afghanistan, Bush said, quoting here, "I don't know. I can't answer that". Absolute certainty stands right next to a complete lack of knowledge. And this is the guy who will be spinning his farewell to the American people Thursday.

Maybe Osama bin Laden will never be caught by the US or any of our allies. Maybe he'll die of old age in a cave somewhere near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. If so, George W. Bush bears plenty of the responsibility. His lack of resolve in capturing bin Laden mirrors his lack utter inability to actually work at fixing the economy.

Given Bush's eight awful years in office, will you watch his televised address Thursday. Should anybody?
