1. Bush family/ Bin Laden family/ Saudis
That's all I have to say.

10. Well, it's certainly not the surprise they wanted
Even after they'd let Pakistan off the hook for exporting nuclear bomb tech to every tinpot dictator in the world, the Pakistanis reneged on the agreement to cough bin Laden up. All they got was another terra tape of bin Laden thumbing his nose at the Bush gang.

I don't think this one's gonna play real well in Peoria.

Tucking into bed with the Saudis and the Pakistanis has not been a great deal for the USA, and I think all but the most dedicated Bushbots are starting to notice.

15. and calling in a favor with Musharraf
who probably has known where Osama's been all along but couldn't afford the political risks in capturing him.

3. If it is it's a


pretty weak surprize.

Even if he presented Osama to the press I don't think it'd help much.

5. It might be the smoke, but the surprise, in Nov., at voting booth
They are going to rip it off there, and corporates shills will help them. We have watched these folks too long not to know what they were up to.

12. How?
It reminds people that OBL is still alive and Bush didn't get him.

THere is no way this will bury Kerry.

8. Definitely part of it...
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 03:22 PM by bush_has_to_go
Followed by one or more "suspicious incidents" between now and Tuesday, then massive voter fraud to clinch it.

9. Seems to me that
this ultimately is not good for the chimp. Reminds people that Bin Ladin is still out there because chimp gave him a pass.

11. I am thinking more along the lines of a Code Red TerrAlert
Or something stronger, like flat out martial law "to protect the homeland from "terra."

14. It's a horribly laughable one
OSAMA BIN LADEN IS NOT CAPTURED, TERRORISM CONTINUES TO SPREAD, BUSH IS INCOMPETENT.

19. I don't know but either Saturday or Sunday, Bin Laden will be found.
Right now on CNN the Pentagon spokesman is talking about how Bin Laden has to move around because of the upcoming snow in the moutains.

24. If BL gets captured
this weekend that would be an October surprise. I don't see how this video alone does anything to help Bush. I'm not a conspiracy theory guy but if BL shows up captured or dead in the next couple of days only an idiot would not believe the timing of it was planned.

18. Yes, but predict a backfire
Yes, because it puts the American people in a state of fear...
and we know the increase in fear increases support for Bush...

but if the Kerry campaign plays this right...they can spin it for
if bush is in, we're attacked...bush is incompetent, he didn't get this guy, etc.

Very nasty for if Kerry acknowledges any of the policy of the neocons
inciting terrorism, then he gets nailed on some patriotic BS.

20. Reminding America that OBL is still alive
Despite * "looking" for him for three years can't be good for his reelection campaign. It just can't.

23. Just remember 30% of the Americans are robots and do whatever
BushCo tells them...and they vote in larger numbers.

The other 70% are on our side but only 15 to 20% of them vote.

25. nosireee,
OBL was clearing the air that KKKarl is no longer handling OBL and bush's political terror campaigns. The two political terrorism platforms are no longer aligned so it was a conflict of interest...
