"If all those yuppies can climb Mount Everest, at 29,000 feet, can't we pay some locals to nab Osama at 14,000 feet?"

- Dowd in the NYT

 

It's her critique of the armed forces' failure so far to capture Osama bin Laden. Wouldn't you love to see her in a room with special forces troops, risking their lives right now to protect us? Wouldn't you love to see her tell them that a yuppie could do a better job?
