Maybe He's Behind Door Number 2

Quite an article in today's Washington Post regarding how little progress the CIA and others have made in the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Here's my favorite part of the article:

"There's nobody in the United States government whose job it is to find Osama bin Laden!" one frustrated counterterrorism official shouted. "Nobody!"

"We work by consensus," explained Brig. Gen. Robert L. Caslen Jr., who recently stepped down as deputy director of counterterrorism under the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "In order to find Osama bin Laden, certain departments will come together. . . . It's not that effective, or we'd find the guy, but in terms of advancing United States power for that mission, I think that process is effective."

That pretty much sums up the problem with this Administration, doesn't it? What it does is "not that effective," but it keeps doing the same things anyway. And you have to love the "certain departments will come together" part. Because everyone knows that the more government departments that are working on a problem, the faster it gets solved.

Heck of a job, Brownie.
