Down the Osama Rabbit Hole and Into the War on Terror
Wonderland

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTIBUTION

By Kristina Borjesson

Here we go again. President Bush goes to Israel. He talks to the Israeli Knesset about standing "together against terror and extremism." He cites the example of Osama bin Laden teaching that "the killing of Jews and Americans is one of the biggest duties." The next day, yet another unauthenticated bin Laden tape surfaces. "In a tape marking Israel?s 60^th anniversary," reported the BBC, "the speaker pledged to continue fighting the Israelis and not give up a ?single inch of Palestine.?" Once again, the lead was followed by what has now become the standard second line, "The tape?s authenticity could not be verified." Once again, the timing is interesting. Bin Laden?s message was just in time to help President Bush make his point.
