George W. Bush Plays Chess With Osama Bin Laden – Part Three

Continued From Yesterday.

“I heard that you were dead,” said President George Bush.

“The game has just started. There is no reason to think I will lose,” said Osama Bin Laden as he adjusted himself in the chair and moved the tubes that came from the dialysis machine that was being operated by Osama’s doctor.

“What is that?” asked Bush.

“It is called the Sicilian Defense. Very effective,” said Osama.

“If it so effective, how come you never used it before?” asked Bush.

“Oh, but I have used it. Many times. Not with you, though,” said Osama.

“Sicilian? That’s an Italian thing,” said Bush.

“I suspect the Sicilians do not consider themselves Italian. The world is filled with human beings trying to identify with a clan, trying to separate themselves from other clans. It makes them feel special. To us, Sicilians are Italian. To Sicilians, they are Sicilian” said Osama.

“Well, you think that silly Sicilian pawn is going to bother me? I control the center. I control the center,” said Bush.

“And so you do. And so you do,” said Osama.

“How come you never move your king pawn on the open? How come? It’s standard. It’s solid. It’s tested,” said Bush.

“It’s boring and everyone does it. Chess is a game to be re-discovered with each new game played. Should never go with what worked yesterday. Never,” said Osama.

“But it is the center. You avoid the center. You avoid it,” said Bush.

“Yes. I avoid the center. I do not need the center to win. The center is for suckers, no disrespect intended,” said Osama.

“This is why I will win, Mr. Osama Bin Laden,” said Bush.

“Yes. It is good you think that. Keep doing what you are doing with the center, and believe firmly that you will win. This is good,” said Osama.

“You’re damn straight it is good,” said Bush.

“Yes. It is good. It does not matter that I have won the first four games. I think you are right to be firm with your approach to the game. It is a good approach. In fact, it is a sign of weakness that I keep changing my chess strategy. It clearly represents that nothing is working, that I lack confidence,” said Osama.

Bush does not know if Bin Laden was being sarcastic. But it did not matter. Bush believed in his strategy. He looked down at his board and tried to figure his next move. Hey, why try to figure it. he will do what he always does. So Bush moved his queen pawn one space, proetecting his king pawn. Tried and true. Solid.

Bush smiled. Osama smiled. Everyone was happy.

1. us, them, and after all we are only men. Me and you. God only knows it is not what we would choose to do. Foreward in time and the man child still dreams of daddy bush’s dream, of running the world. Baby bush is lost in his greedy mind filled with OIL instead of brain cells. The crazy man is in my home. The paper boy brings more bad news and every day the paper boy brings more. Time to lock the door and throw away the key. This crazy man needs to be sent to the moon. The dark side of the moon, the darkest side. to match his evil, evil greedy mean and nasty ways. He is just evil. Evil is in his blood, which bleeds black the color of his love and greed OIL. The paper boy will bring more today of all that is to come, because of this crazy lost man child.

2. AND NOW FOR THE INSTANT REPLAY.

   And it is so true…the very definition of insanity: we keep banging our heads against the wall expecting it to disappear.

   Now here’s the important question–one day, whether by virtue of our own efforts or not, one day Osama will be gone. What’s next? Will it be any better? Will we?

   I just was “googling” around and found a book called THE NEXT OSAMA. It’s about viral fear and what it does to these four people in upstate NY when Osama is really dead but the guy who comes up to replace him is a real triple threat. What then?

   This isn’t a fantasy question. This is the real deal. What do we do then?
