super tinfoil hat theory.....

[ithacan]

put on your shades...

So they have this tape, keep it under wraps until now.

They release it in a way that looks bad for Bush; The dems and maybe even the media jump on it.

Then, on Monday, they pull OBL out of the CIA tank or cave where they've been hiding him....

:tinfoilhat:

Okay, perhaps not likely, but I hope Dem strategists at least have a backup plan for this scenario...

:scared:

2. in his speech kerry must say

even if the president were to capture bin laden tomorrow, it would still be years too late.

4. Randi Rhodes said that a little while ago ...

She said they'll claim they were able to track the guy who delivered the tape and he led them to OBL ... then they'll announce his capture on Monday.

Frankly, I could see them doing this.

5. It would be a surprise for OBL

I think being in Pakistan has made Numero Uno more reticent in his speeches. Good behavior, relatively. If the deal is on, he might be indeed surprised. He's about as swift as Bush after all. In fact, he looks mentally ill prepared for an assault.

Not far off, but why should Pakistan take a risk now that Bush is losing and unlikely to the all powerful mandate god he once looked to be?

Bush's face speaks volumes. There is no confidence there any more.

Pounding the pavement for Barend(NY 29th) with us this weekend, Ithacan?

6. I thought about that too.

They would do anything to steal another election.

7. I don't think so

If OBL had been captured it would have been all over Arab TV and news.
