If today were April 1 and not May 2, we could dismiss as an April fool’s joke this morning’s headline that Osama bin Laden was killed in a firefight in Pakistan and quickly buried at sea. As it is, we must take it as more evidence that the US government has unlimited belief in the gullibility of Americans.

Think about it. What are the chances that a person allegedly suffering from kidney disease and requiring dialysis and, in addition, afflicted with diabetes and low blood pressure, survived in mountain hideaways for a decade? If bin Laden was able to acquire dialysis equipment and medical care that his condition required, would not the shipment of dialysis equipment point to his location? Why did it take ten years to find him?

Consider also the claims, repeated by a triumphalist US media celebrating bin Laden’s death, that "bin Laden used his millions to bankroll terrorist training camps in Sudan, the Philippines, and Afghanistan, sending ‘holy warriors’ to foment revolution and fight with fundamentalist Muslim forces across North Africa, in Chechnya, Tajikistan and Bosnia." That’s a lot of activity for mere millions to bankroll (perhaps the US should have put him in charge of the Pentagon), but the main question is: how was bin Laden able to move his money about? What banking system was helping him? The US government succeeds in seizing the assets of people and of entire countries, Libya being the most recent. Why not bin Laden’s? Was he carrying around with him $100 million dollars in gold coins and sending emissaries to distribute payments to his far-flung operations?

his morning’s headline has the odor of a staged event. The smell reeks from the triumphalist news reports loaded with exaggerations, from celebrants waving flags and chanting "USA USA." Could something else be going on?

No doubt President Obama is in desperate need of a victory. He committed the fool’s error of restarting the war in Afghanistan, and now after a decade of fighting the US faces stalemate, if not defeat. The wars of the Bush/Obama regimes have bankrupted the US, leaving huge deficits and a declining dollar in their wake. And re-election time is approaching.

The various lies and deceptions, such as "weapons of mass destruction," of the last several administrations had terrible consequences for the US and the world. But not all deceptions are the same. Remember, the entire reason for invading Afghanistan in the first place was to get bin Laden. Now that President Obama has declared bin Laden to have been shot in the head by US special forces operating in an independent country and buried at sea, there is no reason for continuing the war.

Perhaps the precipitous decline in the US dollar in foreign exchange markets has forced some real budget reductions, which can only come from stopping the open-ended wars. Until the decline of the dollar reached the breaking point, Osama bin Laden, who many experts believe to have been dead for years, was a useful bogeyman to use to feed the profits of the US military/security complex.

Osama bin Laden is dead.

Barack Obama has slain the boogeyman. A moving orgy of patriotism is breaking out across the Obamanation. This moment is certain to go down in history as the highwater mark of the Obama presidency.

Good for you, Barack Obama.

You have avenged the 9/11 attacks. Osama bin Laden is burning in Hell. America has won the War on Terror. The boogeyman is lying dead at your feet. This is your moment of triumph.

A few thoughts:

(1) First, I am glad that Osama bin Laden is no longer walking the earth. He deserved to die for his crimes. Justice has been served. Good riddance.

(2) Second, the emotional outburst of American patriotism which is now spreading across the nation must be properly seen as a moment of closure. The War on Terror is over.

(3) Third, the universal cry to “bring the boys home” is already going out across the nation. We have always supported bringing the troops home.

(4) Fourth, after this brief outburst of patriotism runs its course, foreign policy will recede even further into the background and domestic issues like gas prices and the economy will become even more important than they were before.

(5) Fifth, by killing the arch enemy of America and the Free World, Barack Obama has unintentionally pulled the single most important thread that united Americans and sustained their commitment to military interventions in the Middle East.

A few questions:

(1) Now that Osama bin Laden is dead, will Americans continue to support the American military presence in Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq?

(2) Now that Osama bin Laden is dead, 9/11 is avenged, and the War on Terror is over, what is America without a common enemy?

The wild spontaneous celebrations now going on at the White House and Ground Zero only shows just how important hatred of Osama bin Laden – the boogeyman – was to America’s national identity. All that is over now.

Great job on this one, Barack Obama. Have a beer on me tonight.

It is party time!

Now playing at the OD bar: beer on tap and patriotic songs!!!

Discussion Question: Who will be cast as the boogeyman in The Boogeyman: The Resurrection?
