Ya know, I hate the bogeyman. The unknown scary monster under your bed, or hiding in the closet, perhaps lurking in the basement, or dusty in the attic. Always ready to spook you when you are just on the verge of sleep.
For years Hitler, although dead, was a bogeyman, because Stalin hid the evidence. Today still, because of this obfuscation, some people question that Hitler wacked himself in the bunker, and invision him sipping schnapps in Paraguay. Thank God we were able to pin Togo, no question about that one.
Osama still eludes, dead or alive? who knows. And now he has become a bogeyman to ever scare our children and wives. Where is his body?
I truly hope that they can confirm this strike, because if they can't, Saddam will always be a bogeyman as well. I thought they got him the first night, now, oh yea, we got him tonight for sure. This does not help with the "bogeyman" factor. No body found, he still exists.
Sometimes, I think, the aim of our propagandists, is to make us always believe in the bogeyman. It makes the public more tractable.
