Thompson, OBL, Taxes

I admit I was a little surprised to see this quote from Mr. StrengthProsperityUnity: “Bin Laden is more symbolism than anything else.” A spokesman says Thompson meant that OLB “is a symbol for the global war on terror,” but not that he was unimportant. A symbol worth chasing “to hell and back, if needed.”

A wily symbol, indeed! In his latest video, Bin Laden advises Americans, “reeling…under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes,” to “embrace Islam.” After all, “There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent.”

Wait until Ron Paul hears about that!

This helps to clarify which side the Pakistanis are actually on. Hint: it’s not ours. I’ll have more about this in my print column tomorrow.
