Why don't we catch Bin Ladin?

[mikelewis]

I'm not talking about actually catching him, because I believe he's dead already but why not run on the slogan, "Democrats will catch Bin Laden!"?

Wanted: Osama Bin Laden

Democrats Will Hunt Down and Apprehend Bin Laden
He has remained FREE too long.

Just because they created him doesn't mean we can't steal him. Why should we have to get rid of our freedom when we can simply get rid of his? If we are returned to power, we will make sure we search every spider hole in the world until he is brought to stand trial for 9/11 (alongside several other un-named co-conspirators). Our plan is simple, we will force the President to look for him.

1. Is it beyond consideration that Bush doesn't catch this guy

because he's our guy?

Bin Laden as an extended contract from the anti-Soviets-in-Afghanistan days?

[mikelewis]

3. No, he's the Lone Gunman in the Book Repository and I say we catch him...

or at least pretend to want to.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

2. I think he is a figment

of our fevered imaginations.

[davidwparker]

6. A prop used to carry out 9/11.

[mmonk]

4. Because he is a bargain.

As long as he is out there, they can milk it for total control.

5. You do not put CIA assets on trial. There is too much info on RAY GUN to

come out. Not to mention Poppy Shrubs real story.

7. I like the idea of actually hunting the guy down.

What if we pooled the money we would normally donate to idiot candidates who stab us in the back and use it to hire a group of mercs to grab Bin Hidin?

[leftstreet]

9. I think there's still a reward. Wasn't it $25 million or something?

That could fund a few candidates.

[mikelewis]

11. No no no... I don't mean trying to catch him with a reward from us...

I mean trying to catch him by forcing the President to actually look for him and stop all this invading-other-countries bullshit. We hunt for him openly and vigorously, turning this into an international manhunt. Once we are in charge of the pocket book of the country, we put up a $100 Billion reward on his ass and force Bush to give daily updates on the progress of the Hunt. If he refuses, we stop funding his right-wing Church groups and divert the money to a National Gay Sensitivity Program.

[Kierkegaard]

12. I knew what you meant. I just ran with it.

Forcing the inept ape to search for him is pointless. We have no power to 'make' him do anything. A reward isn't the idea either. Mercs aren't going to jump through hoops to get paid. Plus, they aren't likely to be keen on having their pictures taken with Ed McMahon when they get their big reeward check on TeeVee.

I mean we should actually HIRE a team to find the guy. That is the only way he'll be found alive and alive is the only way anyone will ever hear all the sordid details of complicity or impropriety between U.S. figures and Bin Laden.

On edit: clarification.

8. Cuz he's hidin'

10. gotta have a boogeyman

now that Saddam has been sidelined.

Can't scare the sheep without a boogeyman.

14. Two reasons

1. then the war on terra might have to end and

2. the freak in chief and his daddy cut a deal with their business associates the Bin Laden family

[raysr]

15. I swear Bin Laden

is in communication with Bush. Whenever they need him he comes through. In 2004 when the election was getting too close for comfort for the monkey, up pops bin laden. I don't believe in coincidences.

[never_get_over_it]

16. Oh the freak has a bunch of tapes in a drawer

and pulls them out when he needs them - or like you said they're in touch with each other - Bin Laden probably visits Georgy on the ranch during his long vacations.
