So, when will Bush* parade bin Laden before the cameras?
With all the negative crap cascading down on these murdering bastards, they h ave got to be going nuts.
bin Laden is probably the only thing that would distract the public and a press that may have located it's missing backbone.
Terror alerts haven't worked in over a year and a 3rd 9-11 may prove to be a bad move.
What do you think, does Bush have to bring out his "October surprise" a little early?

1. Osama could roll out in mid-to-late August
Edited on Wed Jan-28-04 07:30 PM by 0rganism
That would give bush a nice boost for the NYC convention, when republicans come to dance on the graves of 3000 terror victims. It'd also be a convenient way to kill momentum for the recent Democratic nominee and give bush lots of terra points to use in the debates.

In October, bush could start the invasion of Syria if his campaign needs another shot in the arm.

2. I don't think Bush can wait that long.
My thought is, IF osama is under wraps and being saved for a "Surprise", (notice the headlines now of a new get osama military venture?)with all of the negative crap hitting the airwaves just the past two days and Kerry beating Bush in a poll, the Administration needs to get the upper hand and soon.
How can they do that? Waiting till Aug or later may be too late because these stories will "get legs" and take off.

The Iraq invasion was in violation of international law and David Kay has thrown all of Bush*s WMD claims right out the window.m they were not there after 1991! Ergo, Bush LIED.
Impeachable offense, because the whole administration spewed the same lie (conspiracy) and outed a CIA agent to punish a detractor(violated law).

The house of cards are starting to shake and quiver..If they tumble down, PNAV goes on the back burner for how many years?
Bush has to come up with something to distract America...Another
9-11?
You tell me.

4. Nothing would surprise me..but
If bin Laden was in our custody, I can't believe al-Qaeda would sit by silently and allow him to be used as a prop for the west.

I *can* believe we know where he is and are waiting for the right time to get him.

6. There should be a DU contest on the closest time and date for UBL
This is a card that Bush will have to pull out of his ass before the election. Can't play that chip to soon though,you'll dealing with a country that lives for reality TV and 3% think Congress chooses the winners for the Golden Globe Awards show. The same 67% most likely still think SH masterminded 9/11.

I think DU should have a contest,maybe it'll get picked up by Hate Radio or one of the networks. There will be so many guesses will have to have it down to the hour and minute of a certain day and month.

Lets do it!!

David

7. Maybe Los Vegas can make book on it.
Set odds for OBL capture before the election. I'd start at 2:1 odds.

8. You all give * a lot more credit than I do.
The guy can't get the days of the week straight. I doubt he'll ever find bin Laden.
