OBL wanted a hit on Amtrak: He must have watched too many old western movies when he was a kid. Turns out he wanted to blow up the tracks on a bridge so the train would fall off the tracks.
Do I see gloating in the undertone here? The NY Times is all over the bin Laden story, including this “Bush missed, nyah nyah!” article. Also, putting out as much information on our top-secret stealth helicopters as possible (thanks!). And, surprisingly, an op-ed that says it’s only human to celebrate the death of America’s biggest enemy.
Conflicting reports: First France and Britain say they’ll recognize the new Palestinian unity government, even though it’s now filled with openly anti-Semitic terrorists working for the destruction of Israel (as opposed to doing it all secretly). Now they say they’ll stand with Israel and refuse to recognize the government unless Hamas recognizes Israel. Yeah, not gonna happen. So the real question is: Will the unity government fall before the Europeans change their minds? Because they will. Let’s not pretend that they have suddenly gained a conscience regarding Palestinian terrorism and their aims toward Israel.
