bin laden

I was eating meatloaf with a friend today, and he looked up (from a half a forkful of mashed potatoes) and said a bit malevolently "Osama bin Laden is a pussy!"
The purported murdering part of the man is not admirable, the fanaticism is stupid and dangerous, but a "pussy?" No, it's not that. I think maybe compared with Joan of Arc for one, he is pussy-ish.
But it would be stupid of him to just step out and get caught and then say public stuff to rally his peeps and write poetry before he got executed. He probably would not actually write poetry. Remember he's just a rich kid with an exotic hobby that has cost him his health and comfort. I don't believe him to have a great deal of creative drive, though he must have some charisma and some imagination. Anyway, he's so 2 thousand and 1.

What I want to know is why my government has spent, what, billions trying to catch this guy, and they haven't spent a penny trying to catch me. Is it that I don't know what to do with a Kalashnikov? Hell, he probably doesn't either. I was growing a beard last week, but they come in so grey now I always cut 'em back to the flesh before I get even a week's worth.

I have been laden. What will you give for him?
And more importantly, why? I'll see you to martyr.
