"Where Is Osama Bin Laden?"

Since early 2003, Cheryl Stewart has updated the sign in front of her home in Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood counting the days since 9/11, and asking "Where's Osama Bin Laden?" Ever since his diversionary war in Iraq, Dumbya rarely mentions bin Laden in speeches or comments. He was warned by CIA officials at his phony ranch a month before 9/11 that an attack in the U.S. using airplanes was likely. After the briefing, Dumbya told the officials "you've covered your ass, now" and went fishing. Had he paid attention and taken the threat seriously, thousands of lives might have been spared.

Shoes, anyone?
