Is *Co Saving The Finding Of Osama Bin Laden Until Just Before Nov 2008?......

I had this nightmare last night that just before the 2008 presidential election that miraculously OBL will be found and killed. This action would boost the Repugs into the WH for another 4 years. This of course was orchestrated by Karl Rove and part of his plan to continue the stranglehold that the Repugs/Neocons have on this country and the world.

Then I woke up in a cold sweat.

Thought back on the release of the hostages when Ronald Reagan took office. \

Please tell me not to worry about this. Please tell me that this is just a nightmare and can't really happen.

I'm afraid to go to sleep tonight.

OBL is *s friend. Friends don't rat out friends. *'s done all he can to keep the guy from getting caught. OBL and others will probably tell others or have already made plans for others to speak out about they were accomplices with *co in 2001. *co doesn't want them found and brought to justice because that means they will be brought to justice... esp when *co is getting ready to be out in the private sector.

board weirdness?

I figure he is dead. At least that is what the rumors suggest.

Rest uncomfortably, that nightmare will not come true but a similar one will...a terrorist plot will be foiled, gas prices will fall, dog food will be safe, the witch will melt...oh, sorry, I was distracted...there will either be a crisis that only Reps can handle or a crisis solved by Reps right before the election.

At this point I'm certain that had Osama fallen into Bush's hands, (and for whatever reason he was unable to quietly let him go again), he would have been taken off the ice in 2004.

That election was just close enough to steal as it was, and the ruse is wearing thin at this point. Osama did of course help out his buddy Bush by releasing a well-timed video tape, but his ass in a sling would have been welcomed by Karl Rove.

At this point, I'm nearly certain that virtually nobody is looking for him. In later years we'll discover that between spying on Americans and assassinating people who want to kill Americans because Americans are now in their country somewhere, there was nobody left to hunt for an actual international terrorist.

I think we'll learn that the Great Delegator delegated the responsibility of catching Osama to the Pakistanis, who instead recruited him to their own use, including the "assassination attempt" on Vice President Cheney earlier this year.

Even if you're not as cynical and conspiratorial as I am, there's another excellent reason why it's a bad idea to catch Osama bin Laden. Even if we are actively searching for him, it's actually a better idea to find him, track him, intercept all of his communications, penetrate his planning staff, and then foil his larger operations while letting him succeed in killing people whom you also want to kill, like Shiites (no, I don't want to kill Shiites and neither do you, but George Bush does). This represents a level of competence I don't normally ascribe to the criminals in charge here, but that is the sort of counterintelligence operation admired by the Republican intelligence mentor, Allen Welsh Dulles, in his book Classic Spy Stories.

Another reason why it's a bad idea to catch Osama is that his piety in the Muslim world is above reproach. Whatever else you can say about him, he lives (and many would argue, acts) as a devout Muslim and long ago achieved a very high status in his religion. His death, whatever the circumstances, will be instantly be twisted into martyrdom and perhaps an even more dangerous level of sub-deification. At this point, it may be better to let him fall into insignificance than to let him triumphantly ascend into Heaven.

else * screwed up by waiting for a good political time to release the body, now it's too late. Now it will look really bad. So on his way out the door in Jan 09 he will say, you better do a dna on that guy in the freezer, he looks like OBL.

while Repugs are in the White House.

If he were caught before the election in 2008 nobody would have a reason to vote repug.

They already got him. They just haven't found a way to get the freezer burn off his face without him melting.
