It's Almost Too Easy
Sometimes these things almost write themselves: Bush said the Saudi Arabia bombers "The United States will find the killers, and they will learn the meaning of American justice."
Let's divide this sentence into its two parts. "The United States will find the killers." Unless they hide out with Osama Bin Laden. Or Saddam Hussein. Or even the runaway Texas Democrats. The point is, it seems almost laughably easy to hide from this Administration.
"...they will learn the meaning of American justice." Which is good news if any of the bombers come from money or have good political connections. And not so good if they're non-white. Or maybe Bush means a different kind of American justice, and we'll soon see the bombers on with Judge Judy or Judge Larry Joe? Either way, it seems a strange way to handle an international incident like this one.
