The October uprise is... WON'T be the capture of UBL
Karl Rove will wait for the Packistanis to capture UBL and hope that it happens during October. Obviously that's the big one. But it won't happen, so instead Rove's backup October suprise is a November suprise.

BushCo will announce on Nov 1st that UBL has been killed in a firefight with US Special Forces.

Only after the election will the public learn that the report was false (and another BushCo lie to deliberately manipulate the public).

1. Wouldn't put it past them to pull something like that.
And the media would not even ask the question, "does this look like a political stunt?"

2. It's too late to produce Bin Laden without skepticism.
Even the Kool Aid drinkers would know that there are thousands more Bin Ladens trying to attack their BFE Wal-Marts!

Bush* has told them so!

He's already told them that Bin Laden has been marginalized.

The question to ask when UBL is captured: Do you feel any safer?

3. "Zarqawi" would be a better choice, in my opinion

If you take a look at the various photos presented by the regime of this well-known deceased composite character amputee with supernatural gifts for omnipresence and limb regeneration, you will notice that in each one, his appearance is quite different.

While I concede that in the current climate, they could bring out Dan Rather with a beard, decree that he is "Osama," and anyone who suggested otherwise would be dismissed with the effective "tin-foil hat" dismissive, erring on the side of caution is always recommended, making "Zarqawi" a better choice, if the "high value target get" strategy is the one chosen.

4. Expect Rove's October surprise after
The last debate which is scheduled for Oct. 13th (if shrub shows up). Actually he was quoted after the first debate as saying he has a couple of surprises planned (during an interview with Sean Insannity).

5. Very plausible....but I'm afraid that whatever they are cooking up will
result in some phoney threat that will cause them to declare that we cannot have an election.

8. Rushbo Says He's Dead...
Sorry...had to tune in to hear pigboy squeal about losing his court case...go Palm Beach County DA!!!!

According to OxyRushbo, bin Laden was killed at Torra Borra...he hasn't been seen or interviewed by a "Western" journalist since. Al Zarwari, his number two, may still be alive, but is a beaten old man hiding in a cave and not a threat.

Yep, folks, according to the mighty Hillbilly Heroin Hero we're safer than a bug in a rug thanks to pResident Bunnypants.

9. Pakistani's aren't looking at the moment
They have recommitted forces to protect their border ahead of the Afghanistan elections. They fear movement of people across the border and possible violence. They are not now looking for OBL.

10. If UBL is capture the collective response
has to be "So what? You said you had stopped thinking about him in '02, o why should we care now?"

12. That wouldn't suprise me at all
Typical Bush BS... Issue a statement for political gain, and then after a day or two the "corrections" appear on the bottom corner of page 10 in newspapers...

Then they can say, "It isn't a lie! It was bad intelligence!"

And, its certainly not a flip-flop...

:puke:
