Dear George,
I see your spin meister, Osama bin Laden, has come to your rescue again. He has parted the curtains and prepared a stage across which you can strut your manhood as you prepare for the gunfight at OK Corral. Of course, unlike Wyatt, you’ll contract the shooting out to someone else. But, the effect is the same.
You and he are locked in a Danse Macabre that has made the two of you entirely dependent upon each other. He needs you to energize his base just as you need him to energize yours. This explains why, after four years, we’ve been unable to capture a 6”5” Arab with the world’s most recognizable face. Your swagger is the perfect foil for rallying Islam, just as his tapes justify your authoritarianism.
The guy loves you, George. Why else would he bring up the unpopularity of the Iraq War.? He’s given you a perfect justification to brand all who oppose the war as traitors who are aiding and abetting terrorism. I swear, if I didn’t know better, that Karl was writing his material
The reason this all comes together so beautifully is that you and Osama are cut from the same cloth. You are both Manichean fundamentalists who do not hesitate to slaughter innocents in pursuit of your vision. He kills to bring about an Islamic world; you kill to bring about a democratic (Christian) world.
The only difference is that you bring to the GWOT an irony he is incapable of. You send our children abroad to die for the freedom you are undercutting here at home, all in the name of national security. It’s a classic lose-lose scenario.
Maybe when this is all over, you two can sit down over a couple of brewskis and swap some war stories.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
