a million little more pieces
The word from Pakistan is that the government has in their ready a tap of al Qaeda suspects that they tap into anytime they need to quell the duplicitious nature of their relationship with the United States, last manifested in the story that Bin Laden was being offered immunity if he just calls off his Jihad right now and starts leading a low-key peaceful existence.
And thus, floating past the headline grabbing quote that (um) “You know, there is a kind of an urban myth here in Washington about how this administration hasn’t stayed focused on Osama bin Laden. Forget it. It’s convenient throw-away lines, you know, when people say that.” (which you just place next to him saying “I don’t know where he is you know? I just don’t spend a lot of time on him” and slam your head against the wall a few times.) you get the context for this little gem showing Bush’s lack of a sense of any irony.
Pressed on why he opposed the idea of sending a large contingent of special forces to Pakistan to hunt bin Laden, Bush said his strategy was to work with Pakistan’s government.
“First of all, Pakistan is a sovereign nation,” Bush said. “In order for us to send thousands of troops into a sovereign nation, we’ve got to be invited by the government of Pakistan.

So I take us back to this sign:
Replace “Hegemonists” with any mediocre president from the past, and reshuffle this whole scene we have here, please.
