You know, Kieth Olberman made a great observation.
13 times.
That was the number of documented cases of bad news for the White House being followed immediately by a terror event or terror alert.
Let's see now...
Libby indicted...
... India bombed.
The pattern holds. See you on the flip...
Now far be it for me to suggest that the White House and the Terrorists are in cahoots (cough, cough), but the consistency of this observation is just too strong to be ignored.
Let's say you own a dog. And you like to bet on the horses. Now, you put the racing page down on the floor. The dog "mages a suggestion" on the racing page. You notice that the horse that the dog suggests wins fourteen time in a row, you'll probably bet the rent on the next one.
I just can't help but wonder about this. Because you and I both know why OBL was allowed to escape. Bush and OBL need each other. Bush needs his bogeyman to keep us all in fear, and OBL needs The Great Satan as his recruiting tool. So ... OBL lives to a ripe old age in Kashmir and never attacks the US again. Bush allows OBL to live, and gets his wars of aggression.
And whenever Bush gets in trouble, OBL comes to his rescue, reminding everyone that they still need to be afraid.
