Who's next?

Now that the #2 most wanted man is dead, who will the white house spin doctors create to replace him? After all without a bogeyman or monster under the bed, won't funding and support for the occupation dry up? I know what you're thinking, Osama is still in that cave out there or hanging out around the pool down in Crawford, Tx. but I hardly hear him mentioned anymore.

So to help the script writers in DC in their search for the next "Al-Qaida Idol", I've compiled a few snippets from the daily rags:

He would have to be fleet footed - "The White House on Thursday also linked al-Zarqawi to the execution of 20 bus passengers near Baquba last weekend, and the separate discovery of nine heads in boxes along a road near the city."

A double agent - "many speculated that he was either an American creation or, at the very least, a convenient foil whose reputation and role the U.S. military encouraged and exaggerated in Iraq. (It was disclosed earlier this year that the military had launched a psychological campaign to magnify his role.)"

A religious man - "godfather of sectarian violence in Iraq"

An entertainer - "Zarqawi was a showman and a renegade, playing to radical Islam"

And a west point graduate - "He certainly has been a mastermind for terrorism and the insurgency"

 

This will be a tall order but as long as the Bushites are in control I expect a new and more sinister evil doer to emerge into the TV addled consciousness

of America.

Please dear god, tell W to kill me before I post again!

Hhhmmmm. The new boogeyman is a Sheikh Abu Hafs al-Kurani. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I thought the Bushites would come up with a catchier name. Remember "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit" line. Dumb it down to reach the audience. Brilliant that was.

Anyway, lets see Sheikh Abus CV, explosives expert... led hard operations.. well he's got some crazy eyes thats for sure.

My guess is that we'll see a ratcheting up of evil deeds attributed to Shiek Abu, maybe some bombings to start, kidnappings and general terror ops next. I wonder if he has the contacts to obtain those phantom WMD? Now that's the sort of thing that could leapfrog him into the big league with OBL. The US war machine would benefit from those sorts of rumours.

Yessiree, we got ourselves a new boogeyman!

Get used to it.
