The Ghost of bin Laden

They dumped his body in the ocean, but I suspect the ghost of Osama bin Laden will hover over repugican super-hawks for some time to come as a stinging rebuke to their incompetence.

When they might have captured Osama nine years ago, they let him slip away.

They launched two incoherent wars in his name.

They used Osama’s phantom existence as a pretext for restarting the cold war with borderless possibilities.

This great nation mobilized its awesome military resources to engage in a bellicose version of Where’s Waldo?
