Richard Cohen declares defeat in the War on Terrorism, blaming Bush's "incompetence," and Sean Penn calls Bush "a Beelzebub -- and a dumb one." Well said, Screwtape.

Here's Cohen's opening:
I hear bin Laden laughing. I heard him all day on Sunday and Monday as the mass murder of Sept. 11, 2001, was memorialized at the Pentagon and in that field in Pennsylvania and, especially, here where the most people died and where countless cameras recorded it all for posterity and an abiding, everlasting, anger. He laughs, the madman does, whenever George Bush says, as he has over and over, that America is "winning this war on terror.'' Osama bin Laden knows better. He has already won.
And where is bin Laden? In hiding in a cave somewhere. Some victory. I'm sure Saddam Hussein and Zarqawi are pretty jolly, too.
