Poll question: When will Bush announce they have "Found" Osama Bin Laden?
We all know (or at least I do) that Bin Laden has been captured and that Bush is saving him for the right moment.

With Bush dropping in the polls and the election 19 days from now, when do you think he will spring the announcement on the American people and press?

Come on... you know he's got him!

1. Bush wants Osama's AK-47
We all know that Saddam's pistol is on display in the Oval office. I suppose he would also want Osama's AK-47 displayed alongside. He had the chance..but he blew it. He chose Saddam's pistol over Osama's Kalashnikov.

4. Osama and Bush are friends.
There will be no capture of that invaluable agent for the spread of eternal religious war under this administration.

6. And another thing-
They don't got him.

If they did, they'd be pre-hyping the announcement by talking ad nauseum about how important it is to catch him. If they are still avoiding mentioning his name (and they are) then they sure as hell don't have him.

7. I think it's too late for an Osama
capture to save Shrub.

Seriously, I do believe that.

11. But do you think the Osama capture
-Whether Shrub and Co. had him all along-

Will really change people's minds in big numbers?

I don't think so.

And while I wouldn't put it past Shrub and Co.
If they had Bin Laden for sometime, what do they really have to gain by it?
Why wouldn't they just say "Yeah, we got him" like they did with Saddam?

9. I agree...
in fact, I think that any intelligent person (on either side) would feel betrayed and manipulated by such a tactic and know then for sure that Bush is a lying warmongering fool. Okay, so they already KNOW that, but it would put a nail in the coffin....

16. Too late.
plus if they had him, they'd be talking about what a horrible threat he is.

That's why they'll "catch" Zarqawi.

17. They lost him at Tora Bora...
They don't have him. They'd be trumpeting it if they did. Shrub gains nothing by holding off an announcement.

18. They'll never find him
They had to feed him to Barney due to bad freezer burn. That's why * is so wierd lately, they have him on meds to keep him from screaming about how he lost the election because nobody could find a 6'6" Tupperware container to keep OBL in.
