These colors don't run

Seven years later and still no bin Laden.  I just don't understand how one man can manage to be so difficult to capture.  It's like a bad Looney Tunes cartoon where bin Laden is Bugs Bunny and Petraeus et al are running around the desert "hunting for tewowists."  

The New York Times reported yesterday that President Bush put on his invisibility cloak again (you know, the one that allows you to be super stealthy in order to undermine any semblance of fairness) and approved classified orders allowing Special Ops to conduct ground attacks on Pakistani soil without approval from Pakistan's government.  Maybe I haven't been keeping up too well lately, but I thought we were trying to work with the Pakistani government to combat terrorist regimes.  Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's ambassador to Washington, said of one-such attack last Wednesday, "Unilateral action by the American forces does not help the war against terror because it only enrages public opinion."  Wow...way to go guys.

Sadly, no. Not surprised, just disappointed.
