Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

"Finding" Bin Laden: Pakistan's Growth Industry


Much has been made of the fact that Osama Bin Laden was pretty much hiding in plain sight for over five years in a big house right in the middle of a Pakistani city. Many a talking head has wondered aloud how our supposed ally could have "missed" him. Many a politician has asked if our "anti-terrorism partner" could have actually helped hide the son of a bitch.

Buster will explain. Hell yes, they helped hide him! Pakistan is a slut-puppy, playing both sides against the middle. Pretending to help us track down Bin Laden was a fucking cash cow for them.

U.S. Government to Pakistani Government: "Howdy, pardner. Any Bin Laden sightings? We're still pretty damn sure he's somewhere in your country."

Pakistan (with fingers crossed) to U.S.: "Yes, we're sure he's here too, but no, we haven't found him yet. Additional funding would be a great help to us in our tireless efforts. Please send us another billion dollars."

U.S. to Pakistan: "Comin' at ya, pardner. The check's in the mail."

Pakistan to U.S.: "Praise be to Allah!"
