Osama in the Oubliette?
From an interesting (as usual) article at the Captain's Quarters:
Like many, if not most, Americans all I really wanted for Christmas in December 2001 was the evidence that OBL had been annihilated by US forces. Three years later, I’m still waiting. If Ben is right and OBL is dead, why haven’t we heard? Ben has a compelling response:
Does President Bush know what became of him? I would say, very likely. We know what did not become of him: he didn’t become a Martyr. He did not become the symbol of Glorious Death resisting the Great Satan. He did not become a Symbol or a Cause or an Example to Them All.
Osama in the Oubliette...better left in limbo, for all of us to wonder about but never know, than to become the rallying cry for all the Islamo-fascists....interesting concept. Something to think about.
