Bush Commits TREASON for a July Surprise
(Please forgive the multiple-forum posting - This one NEEDS to be noticed! -Ben)

From an email by Bob Fertik of Democrats.com;

Bush Commits TREASON for a July Surprise - Ignoring Nuclear Terror in
Return for Osama's Head During the Democratic Convention

Bush knows he will lose in November unless he captures Osama - or perhaps Ayman Al Zawahiri or Mullah Omar. In an explosive story, The New Republic quotes Pakistani officials who say Bush is pressuring them to deliver one of these "high-value targets" (HVT) before November - best of all, at the height of the Democratic convention. As a carrot, "Powell pointedly refused to criticize Musharraf for pardoning nuclear physicist A.Q. Khan--who, the previous month, had admitted exporting nuclear secrets to Iran, North Korea, and Libya - declaring Khan's transgressions an 'internal Pakistani issue.' In addition, the administration is pushing a five-year, $3 billion aid package for Pakistan through Congress over Democratic concerns about the country's proliferation of nuclear technology and lack of democratic reform." Folks, this is TREASON - and it's time for Democrats to start screaming!

3. Nor me.
These people will stop at NOTHING to retain their hold on power;

Fraud, Deception, Intimidation, Blackmail, Torture, Mayhem, Murder; All these are the tools of a Republican. Remember, the only good Republican is a CONVICTED Republican!

4. The time to expose the politics of a bin Laden "surprise" is now...
if you wait until after he is served up for the cameras, you will be accused of being the worst kind of non-patriotic "cry baby".

6. Hmmmm,
What is the definition of "terrorist" under the Patriot Act again?

`(5) the term `domestic terrorism' means activities that--

`(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;

`(B) appear to be intended--

`(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

`(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or

`(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

`(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.'.

(b) CONFORMING AMENDMENT- Section 3077(1) of title 18, United States Code, is amended to read as follows:

`(1) `act of terrorism' means an act of domestic or international terrorism as defined in section 2331;'.

12. And he's been cyrogenically frozen?
Oh hell, my take is that Bin Laden has been dead for years. But look I could be wrong. (I just think since 12/01 he could have shown some real tangible "proof of life" besides an audiotape, just to mess with us, which seems to be his raison d'etre)

Doesn't the closer to the election they get him though if he's still alive make it look that more political? As they say, why not last year or the year before that or January?

And dammit, I want an autopsy, and then I still probably won't believe it's him. Which, honestly, I think is better for us, that Bin Laden is out there, elusive (but really dead) and not made a martyr of, eternal almost, then his successor never needs to be hired, born or created.

13. I'd wager on the opposite...
That he was burned to a cinder at Tora Bora.

With the amount of fuel-air munitions we dropped on those cave openings, pretty much anything alive inside was wiped totally out, and probably burnt beyond recogition.

So, if Bin Laden is to be any sort of surprise this year, it will be an announcement that DNA testing has established that a bone fragment found in a Tora Bora cave was Bin Laden.

15. For The Past Two Years,
I've been saying the Bush Administration knows exactly where Osama Bin Laden is, but they're going to wait until a few weeks before the election to take him into custody. If I'm right, if he is still alive and they know where he is, I hope it backfires on him. There's nothing like trying to subvert democracy to get a few more years in power. This man has to be ousted from the White House in November.

I bet none of the "liberal press" outlets like CNN, ABC, etc. bother to report this story.
