You know, these ends don’t come anywhere close to justifying these means.
I mean, if all this torture isn’t JUST about humilating the Muslim world so as to ignite another generational conflict to justify our military spending, then why haven’t we caught Osama?
HENRY: You know, going back to September 2001, the president said, dead or alive, we’re going to get him. Still don’t have him. I know you are saying there’s successes on the war on terror, and there have been. That’s a failure.
TOWNSEND: Well, I’m not sure — it’s a success that hasn’t occurred yet. I don’t know that I view that as a failure.
I appreciate the long-ass Google Videos, but could we get links to view them on the GV site, too, so we can watch them in a bigger window? I don’t know about anyone else, but that “Go to Google Video” button doesn’t do anything for me, in either Firefox or IE. (I’ve never had that problem w/YouTube) As is, I’m just having to go to Google Video and search for these videos.
Of course, if the “Go to Google Video” button is working for other folks, my request is moot.

…then why haven’t we caught Osama?
Well, actually we have. In the future!

Chuck – I don’t have any control over that. I guess you’ll have to search for them like me and the other peons do.

I just meant something like this:

I could try to add an extra link like that, if you’d like. It wouldn’t kill me.
Sorry if I snapped just there. I get whined at a lot.

We whine because we love.
