Have you noticed that every time G.W. Bush gets into trouble, up pops Osama Bin Ladin? Is it any wonder why we haven't apprehended this Terrorist yet?

When the Bush Administration and the Republicans are embroiled in a Culture of Corruption, unabated deficit spending, huge growth of Government and illegal domestic spying, low and behold here he is again.  Osama--the Right wings Cash Cow.

With the 2006 political season at hand and with nothing to show for 12 long years of Republican rule they use the only tool they control! Fear! Yes, when in trouble or in doubt, scare them to death.

After chasing the Taliban out of Afghanistan and having Bin Ladin in the crosshairs at Tora Bora the Bush Administration supposedly let him go.  It was not too long after this incident that throughout the Arab world it was reported in hundreds of press reports that Osama Bin Ladin was dead!

Is Osama dead? Who really knows? If the current Administration knows would it be more beneficial for them to have caught the Beast or to keep the Beast at large for just such occasions? Maybe Bush does know, He said: "I don't know where he is and frankly I don't spend that much time on him". That's a far cry from "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE"!

To the Republicans, Osama can never die until they can come up with a legitimate way to rule instead of their corrupt illegal ways. In 1994 they gained rule by promising to clean up the corrupt Democrats. Little did the American voters know that the Republicans would give new meaning to the word corruption? The Abramoff scandal is now just scratching the surface of their corruption.

Can you believe that the President does not know this man, (Abramoff) as he seems to be claiming? A member of his transition team in 2000, a pioneer and republican Ranger who contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Bush campaign. A criminal who has been in the White House to meet with who knows who over 200 times.

Mr. Bush, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night!
