Please, remember me

President Bush held one of his ever increasing in frequency press conferences, where he discussed the bumps in the national road known as the Iraq War and urged the American public to maintain their support for the War in Iraq. Since only 35% of Americans seem to actually support the War in Iraq, it seems very likely that the President's with will come true.

This last week of news coverage ot me thinking, though. Does anyone remember this guy?


So, in the last week we've got 24 hour coverage of a sex tourist disguised as a child murderer and his flight back to the United States, a homeless killer running around Virginia Tech (no it wasn't Marcus Vick), K-Fed, and aluminum bats.

So it was with great shock this morning when I read Christiane Amanpour's column on cnn.com talking about how big of a threat Osama Bin Laden still was. First, it took me a while to remember who Osama Bin Laden was. Wait... Oh, right. Then, I thought: The President asked for Osama dead or alive. Apparently what he really meant was alive, and in some cave somewhere still plotting attacks against America and its allies. Then, I thought: Hey, whatever happened to Natalee Holloway? Then, I turned on Greta Van Susteren's show and was lulled to sleep by Fox News Alerts.
