Will Capturing Osama be the "October Surprise" this election year? |
|
"Osama bin Laden and other terrorists are still in hiding. Our message to them is clear: No matter how long it takes, America will find you, and we will bring you to justice."--From the president's speech on September 11, 2006 That comment brought headlines like these around the world: Bush vows to find Osama as US remembers 9/11 victimshttp://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1793760,00050001.htmUS rejects reports saying Osama trail has gone coldhttp://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1793309,00050001.htmBin Laden will be found: PMhttp://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20390217-23109,00.html

3. Thought he wasn't concerned about Osama |
|
Isn't that what he said before?
This is just posturing.
Does anything think that if the Pretzeldent had just stayed home on 911 and not exploited it, we wouldn't be criticizing him? Because that's what I think he should have done and should do on all 911s.
Does he go places Dec. 7 and exploit that, too? Rhetorical question, probably. I never pay attention to him. Would Clinton have been posturing and speechifying on Sept. 11?

4. Can't capture someone who has been dead for 5 years |
|
though they might provide a "body" and claim it is OBL. I think another "tape" is more likely, probably last week in October. But first rachet up the msm to spread the propaganda 24/7.

10. Plenty of underemployed tall guys. Plenty of expendable plastic surgeons. |

Is Bandar Bush's posh Aspen home still for sale? Any evilDUer in CO with the sand to convince brokers they could seriously make an offer on it? Sure would like a lookie inside that palace. Bet there is medical facility on the compound.
Where does Cheney stay when he is in CO? Seems the REAL capital is not on the east coast anymore. Who knows who they could hide in the Rockies.

5. Nope, he is needed through Nov 2008... |
|
We'll probably just catch several more "No 2" guys and hear about a few "prevented attacks".

11. Yes, but with a qualifier... |
|
Osama's LOOK-ALIKE will be captured. The media will jizz their collective pants saying, "We got him! Praise Der Furehr! W got Osama!"
Three days after the election, "Well, he sure did LOOK like Osama, didn't he? All hail a new crop of your Republican overloards!"

12. This is starting to be like the rapture bullshit. |
|
Every election since 2002 people ask whether Bush is gonna bring out Osama-on-a-stick before the election. Face it, nobody knows where the motherfucker is hiding.
