Stuck in Iraq

Even as al Qaeda in Iraq gets whomped, Osama bin Laden can't resist the fight there.

His latest tape displays that deep mind that has catapulted him to that corner cave office in Waziristan World Headquarters:


Bin Laden said U.S. and Iraqi officials are seeking to set up a "national unity government" joining the country's Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds.

"Our duty is to foil these dangerous schemes, which try to prevent the establishment of an Islamic state in Iraq, which would be a wall of resistance against American schemes to divide Iraq," he said.


So let me get this straight. America is trying to join the Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds of Iraq. Ok, I'm with Osama so far. Apparently, according to Osama--and this is where his logic is confusing--we are joining Iraqis in a plot to divide Iraq.

Lost me there, buckwheat.

Now don't get me wrong. Osama is a murderer who should be killed. He is dangerous with a track record of mass murder. But he is also fairly stupid, despite some animalistic cleverness. He killed many in Iraq by invading Iraq in the belief he could win there, but that scheme always counted on our lack of will to fight.

I guess when you are a cave dweller with your mail-order associates degree in jihad hanging on a goat, you have to expect to get stuck in Iraq.

Still, one wonders how much more stupid his followers have to be to still call him their leader.
