Meanwhile Back in Afghanistan

By Robert Scheer

What’s up with Osama bin Laden?

Remember when capturing him “dead or alive” and eliminating his Afghanistan-based al Qaeda, as Bush promised, was what the War on Terror was all about?

Instead the president got distracted with his idiotic invasion of Iraq where al Qaeda had been effectively banned by the secular dictator the U.S. deposed. Now we are left holding the bag in two desperate countries with bleak futures where perpetrators of 9/11 are reportedly thriving and guerilla warfare and terror bombings have continued to increase.

“Al Qaeda is quickly changing and we are not,” warned Timothy J. Roemer, a member of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission appointed by President Bush, last month. “Al Qaeda is highly dynamic and we are not. Al Qaeda is highly imaginative and we are not.”

1. Must I say once more that this group in DC makes nothing work

I do bet their is one thing we can bet on. China and India. Both are educating their people in such things as science and China is even moving into So,. Am. Once China gets in the right place they will pull the cord on our banking system that they are backing. Did a man named Toland wrote a book about China's take over once?

They are devolving as well as decompensating before our eyes.
