Maybe if our dumba-- leaders would stop responding to the stupid things, they might just stop. It serves ZERO purpose to reply. The average citizen couldn't care less about propaganda tapes shown as an "Al Jazeera Exclusive."

I assume you mean "stop responding outwardly." I don't think the average citizen wants our government to outright dismiss OBL tapes. He is known to use signals in his messages. To "stop responding" behind the scenes would be at our own peril.

Yes, I mean publicly. They should do what they need to behind the scenes. I just feel it serves no purpose to reply in public.

Hey, maybe that's why Obama hasn't captured Osama yet! If we catch him, he will have the right to remain silent!

No, he is just following the Bush doctrine, which says catching OBL is not important. Personally I think the GOP is hiding him at Becks house and when he and his girlfriend Pay Me MO Palin run for office they can trot him out and say they captured him, yeah that sounds just about right.
