Can Osama be blamed for everything?

"Foreign mercenaries and Libyan militiamen loyal to Moammar Gadhafi tried to roll back the uprising against his rule that has advanced closer to his stronghold in Tripoli, attacking two nearby cities in battles that killed at least 17 people. But rebels made new gains, seizing a military air base, as Gadhafi blamed Osama bin Laden for the upheaval."

Although I'm not at all a fan of Osama and his politics, is it wrong to ask that he only be blamed in instances in which there is some credible evidence of culpability?

Do you mean Obama? He seems to get blamed for everything these days.

That Gadfly guy is nuts. Though I don't know if he really believes that. He's desperate. This may be a very pathetic attempt to throw the US and our allies a curve ball. Like we'll suddenly be sympathetic or come running to his rescue to fight Al Queda.

You could call it his Cheney move - blame everything on Al Queda.

Eventually, Osama and Obama are both going to eventually leave our collective minds.

Can't someone organize a game show in which the contestants guess who gets blamed afterward?

Fast forward to the year 2020.....

For $5000, name the "cause to all of our problems"

Contestant 1: What is "immigrants"?

Contestant 2: What is "people on welfare"?

Contestant 3: What is "the rich"?

Crowd: Good answers, good answers!

Can Osama be blamed for everything?
