"The Gates of Hell" by Steve Payne
January 29: on this day in 2010
senior executives of iRobot, Inc. joined US President John S. McCain on the
White House Lawn to showcase the latest PackBot model which had finally brought
Osama Bin Laden to justice. Having exhausted the supply of friendly Af-Pak
allies on the border zone, it was both expedient and also fitting that American
technological prowess had finally located the robe-wearing, cave-dwelling head
of al-qaeda. ![]() "I will look you in the eye and promise you that I will get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice" ~ McCain Bin Laden now faced an extended period of captivity in enemy hands. Which
ironically was a fate that had befallen McCain himself when his A-4E Skyhawk
was shot down by a missile over Hanoi on October 26th 1967. The very few peace doves in the administration would now argue that it was time to close the book on Afghanistan, by offering the Taliban a power-share in government subject only to a moratorium on ground operations.
