Did you know that George W. Bush has just awoken from a four-year long
coma?

In the wake of the latest audio tape from Osama bin Laden, Our Great
Leader had this to say:

I understand there are some in America who say, "Well this can't be
true, there aren't still people willing to attack."

All I would ask them to do is listen to the words of Osama bin Laden
and take him seriously.

When he says he's going to hurt the American people again or try to,
he means it.

I take it seriously and the people of NSA take it seriously and most
of the American people take it seriously as well.

Perhaps if George W. Bush had taken it seriously when he was handed a
daily briefing on August 6th 2001 titled "Bin Laden determined to
strike in U.S.," the world would be a different place right now.

But he didn't.

Still, Bush started to take bin Laden seriously after September 11th,
right?

For example, here's what he had to say on March 13, 2002:

Q: But don't you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won't
truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I
wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure.
And, again, I don't know where he is. I - I'll repeat what I said. I
truly am not that concerned about him.

And then Bush invaded Iraq.

So why the sudden exhortations to take bin Laden seriously?

I'll tell you why - because with the White House and the Republican
party mired in scandal, a tape from bin Laden is like a breath of
fresh air for Our Great Leader.

Look out everyone!

The boogeyman is coming!

Terra terra terra!

Frankly it's a little odd that Bush can still play the "tough on
terrorism" card when the evidence of his failure is blasting from an
Al Jazeera audiotape, but there you go.

Look George, the American people have been taking bin Laden seriously
for years now.

Perhaps if you'd taken him seriously before 9/11;

perhaps if you'd tried to capture him in Afghanistan instead of
charging into Iraq;

perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess now.
