BUSH ISSUES ORDER: GET BIN LADEN BEFORE I LEAVE OFFICE!

President Bush's call for US forces to “get Bin Laden before leaving office" next January , 2009 rings hollow. No doubt the capture of Bin Laden will be an enormous feat of noteworthy success. But Bin Laden’s capture or demise will be nothing more than a grand publicity ploy consisting of a two to three minutes of news sound bites, preceded with a summary of past events and his biography. The Bin Laden today is primarily a symbolic figure that releases occasional audios and videos containing lengthy declarative dictums or messages. His real power lies in the fact that he has published a manifesto that will -undoubtedly-live in infamy for present and future terrorists to use to further the movement through out the world.. So Bin Laden the man, himself is actually irrelevant since Al-Qaeda is not a centralized entity, but one that comprises many different factions and alliances with other non-Al-Qaeda terrorists groups that apply his philosophy to plan and carry out their carefully orchestrated acts of mayhem
And so it is not a reach to state, but not minimize the significance of Bin Laden’s capture, incarceration or even death, that the President is attempting to salvage whatever is left of his seriously damaged reputation as commander-and-chief, with hope of mitigating any further damage to his legacy as president.
Supposedly, Bin Laden has issued his own orders to his body guards to kill him in the event he comes close to being captured. I would venture to say that is exactly what will happen because Bin Laden prefers and sees himself more valuable as a dead martyr than as a live prisoner or incarcerated hero. You decide!
