Osama Bin Laden Captured!
That's the headline late this summer.

Who do we want facing McCain when that happens?

1. Not Hillary Clinton, that's for sure.
McCain would have months worth of material about how Bill Clinton let BinLaden go, yada yada...and don't for a second think that he won't use this on her just because they share a last name.

2. Just like in 2006. And 2004.
It was right in between the first draft and the second one.

Oh, and the economy collapsing. Happened right before that too.

He's still dying to meet that Al Queda guy.

26. Yup...Damned Dumb and mean spirited too.
Obama knows who Been Forgotten is and he knows that our preoccupation with Iraq let him get away. I think he can use this to his advantage, whereas Hillary would just sputter. After all, Hillary supported Bush's War Resolution

8. We'll need someone people have a reason to vote FOR
instead of someone who just isn't as bad as the Republicans. Clinton doesn't fit the bill.

9. No, there will be a video endorsing Obama
If he's the nominee. If Hillary's the nominee, probably an attack.

16. Howard Dean.
He offered to give him a fair trial, while Kerry criticized him for that.

17. what? who? bin laden? No, you got it all wrong.
Hell, he must already be dead or something. I mean, we don't even have any resources chasing him, do we? We have lots bigger things to worry about than him. He poses no threat AT ALL to us. Well, not right now, anyway. I imagine around August or September(?) somebody in the WH arm of the CIA will call Kabul 411, get Osama on the phone and remind him to at least send some threats on tape or something. He might be real to you and me, but the people who have exploited his work for their own gains (all those flag-waving, code orange, neocon 'do you love your country' sob's) don't need him to appear any too soon. Timing is everything. That's the hook of every stage show. Sadly, he works better for them "Alive, not Dead". Dead guys only scare you in your nightmares.

23. I think the Gov. knows EXACTLY where he is and will not
go after him because every extremist nut and fringe extremist nut who thinks Osama is god will go ape s**t around the globe.

24. any democrat, the question would be: it took Bush How Long to get that done?!
and with how many lives and resources wasted?

bin Laden being captured would be a celebration for America, not republicans!
