Why The Surprise?

[HARDCORE]

The news has just aired an additional episode of ?As The Terrorist Turns?, this time in the form of yet another communication from the dreaded "Osama bin Laden!"

Having had his own sandbox beat up a bit of late, ?Hussein The Illusive? hasn?t had all that much to say and is keeping a low profile and deep cover! Every now and then, however, another threat manages to emanate, like noxious gas, from the bowels of the Middle East! Unlike the Prairie Chicken or the Coelacanth, however, the reported extinction of the likes of Hussein and bin Laden may have been grossly overstated! ?Apparently, the bums yet live!!?

So why is it such a surprise when yet another tape or film emerges from this ?Duet of Doom?, urging their followers to violence! After all, how long did it take the free world to tag and bag Mengele or Eichmann? Besides, all of these guys seem to have escape routes planned out years in advance of their departure!

For the most part - War Criminals", unless they are on the winning side (like Josef Stalin or Ho Chi Minh), don?t just sit there waiting to be nabbed! Besides, some in power, especially within France, Germany and Russia, seem to think that it?s all just good politics to have these maniacs surface now and again to keep the public on its toes, and the politicians in the news as well! "A long-dead fish after all, eventually stops stinking and people lose interest in its decaying bones!"
