Dateline Crawford Texas

What if Bush had done what his current critics have suggested after 9/11? What if he had left Saddam alone? The following is one Pirate's fictional accounts of what he thinks would have happened.

Today in Crawford, Texas Cindy Sheehan and her fellow sisters and brothers of terrorist victims continue their protest outside President Bush's ranch. This is day 28 of the protest that has brought an estimated 2 million disheartened people from around the world to demand that President Bush speak with Cindy Sheehan. They also demand that the President explain to them why he thinks his administration's policy of diplomacy and blockades will bring Osama Bin Laden, Al Queda, the Taliban of Afghanistan and the brutal tyrant Saddam Hussein to justice.

Nearly four years has past since that beautiful summer day, September 11, 2001, when 19 terrorists loyal to Osama Bin Laden highjacked and crashed two planes into the World Trade Center in New York City, another plane into the Pentagon in Washington DC and yet another plane in the rural parts of southern Pennsylvania, killing over 3,000 innocent citizens from around the world and primarily from the United States.

From the moment President Bush was notified of the terrorist attacks he abruptly stormed from a classroom he was visiting at the time, beelined it to a microphone and loudly protested the actions of the terrorists and promised to bring those responsible to justice. He then immediately summond powerbrokers from France, Germany, Canada and Great Britain to put together an international task force to develop a means of bringing those responsible to justice in a World Court arena that would be facilitated by the United Nations.

Mr. Bush, his fellow coalition leaders and the United Nations all have repeatedly assured the world that attrition and negoitiation is the only way to break the terrorist's will to commit such terrible acts against those they despise. They claim that going after those responsible with military force, would only enrage them and give us more terrorists to deal with in the future. Many citizens around the world have drawn weary and impatient due to the continued terrorists acts that the civilized world has endurred since that infamous day in September.

Cindy Sheehan's son, Casey was on leave from the Army when he and a group of his friends and four hundred other vactioners were killed in a terrorist's bomb blast at Disney World in Florida in January 2002, which came on the heels of a terrorist act in the sky aboard a plane that left from London Heathrow Airport on Christmas eve 2001 headed for New York City. Osama Bin Laden has proudly claimed the responsiblilty for the destruction of the plane and the bomb attack in Florida as well as the Saren gas and anthrax attacks in the New York and San Francisco/Oakland (BART) transit systems. His group has also reportedly been behind the multiple bomb blasts in Berlin, Paris and Toronto as well as in Seattle, Los Angeles, Detroit, Bali, Madrid, London and Omaha Nebraska.

Osama has claimed that the goal of his orginazation is not to negotiate anything but the complete demise of all infidels. He claims he has the support of the all Islamic nations and secular nations of the Middle East. The leaders of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan and Qatar have all been assissinated and replaced by regimes commited to Islamic world dominance.

Osama has been photographed with what was believed to be one of his old enemies Saddam Hussein on several occasions. Saddam Hussein has vowed to support Osama's goals with weapons and tactical logisitcs. He has also provided Al Queda with training camps and weapons of mass destruction in the most recent past. saddam has reportedly made a deal with Osama that will allow him to return the land of Abraham back to him and remove all Jews from the sacred land of his people.

Michael Moore, a critic of the President and a financial supporter of Cindy Sheehan told a reporter in Crawford that his recent documentary depicts the current President as a wimp just like his father. "What upsets me the most is the first Bush had Saddam in his sights after the Gulf War but he did nothing but allow the Shiites to be massacred with his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. Its obvious Bush had a business relationship with Saddam over oil." Moore has directed two commercially succesful documentaries, "Me and Roger" and "Bowling for Columbine". He is active in liberal politics and has been known to support Presidential Campaigns like Ralph Nader and most recently John Kerry. "John Kerry and all of us informed citizens have demanded that President Bush remove Saddam because of his weapons of mass destruction and the connections he has with Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist group Al Queda, but Bush just wants to talk, talk, talk them to death. He is nothing but a wimp like his daddy." Moore then unveiled some scenes from his soon to be released documentary, "While Bush Slept the World Burned". "Bush the wimp is seen on film being notified of the attacks in New York by Andy Card, it doesn't take him seven seconds before he is front of a television camera waving his arms and at the top of his lungs demanding the heads of those responsible. Now all we get is this mamby pamby approach of talk, talk, talk meanwhile beautiful young Americans like Casey Sheehan are murdered and Bush just talks." During the interview Moore then became noticably upset by holding his stomach and walked into a nearby MacDonalds.

The President's critics don't just come from the other side of the aisle or from the liberal factions, a fellow Republican Senator Chuck Hagel echoed to this reporter what John Kerry had stated throughout his campaign for Bush's job , "If I had been in charge at the time of September 11, 2001 I would have had troops in Afghanistan and Iraq by Christmas of 2001. Saddam and the Taliban would have been bothing but dust. The troops would stay until the whole Middle East was stable and democracy had taken a secure foothold in the region."

It is not known what Bush intends to do. Will he meet with Cindy Sheehan and the growing crowd? Will he continue to let Saddam and Osama thumb their noses at the civilized world? Or will he change his mind and remove Saddam from his stronghold and will he pull back the peace branch from Osama Bin Laden and send our troops into Afghanistan? Or will he continue to appear like what many say is a, wimp?
