4. It will if Bush needs it desperately enough.
They would get some kind of deal done though.

5. How much do you want to bet that if we started impeachment, or better yet,
brought criminal charges against the Bush gang, that bin Laden would mysteriously be caught?

6. I'll believe it when I see it
If Musharraf is seen by his people as being instrumental in turning bin Laden over to the US, he is politically doomed.

bin Laden has a lot of support in Pakistan, heck, the Taliban was largely a Pakistani creation. Pakistan is as much our ally in the "war against terrorism" as Saudi Arabia is.

9. They need Bin Laden
he's the "Goldstein"(sp?) of the Bush cabal. They trot out ole Bin Laden when they need him for the three minute hate and scare fest. This keeps the sheep in line.

"We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true. But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you. You dress like the tube. You eat like the tube. You even think like the tube. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion." Howard Beale

11. The fact that OBL survived the presidential election....
leads me to believe that OBL will never be captured. Bush is purposely letting him roam free. Why is he doing this? It's anybody's guess...
