"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

Osama Speaks

by Lee

Tim Blair managed to get a transcript of Osama bin Laden’s State of the Union speech.

IN the interests of fairness and balance we present Osama bin Laden’s 2003 State of the Union address, as delivered yesterday to his ecstatic followers: MR Speaker, distinguished guests, earthworms and remains of faithful old kidney dialysis machine, as we gather tonight, our cause lies in ruin. Yet the forces of jihad have never been stronger!

The Western devil, he is trembling and broken, even though a massive number of our operatives in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe have been captured or killed, Afghan women are openly attending schools, and I’m a smorgasbord for centipedes. Jihad marches on.

Go read the whole thing, it’s great.
