Bin Laden will be found: PM (John Howard - Australia)

Bin Laden will be found: PM

AL-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden would be found, Prime Minister John Howard said today, despite reports the terrorist leader's trail had gone cold.

...

"The world is a big place. (Bin Laden) has a lot of friends," Mr Howard told Southern Cross Broadcasting.

"But in the nature of those things, I guess, he will suddenly be found one day.

"And then people will then say, well, I guess the road or the trail hadn't gone cold after all."

1. Is John Howard as stupid as Bush?

7. Mr Rent-a-Quote.
You name it, he has something to say. Usually self-serving.

12. If Howard doesn't talk about bin Laden, he has to talk about house prices.

3. He will "suddenly" be found?
Like, what, someone is just going to stumble over him on the Riveria or something?

If he's found at all, it will be due to the diligent and conscientious efforts of a Democratic president who sincerely wants to get OBL. Follow the money. Always follow the money.

That is, if Osama isn't already dead on a slab in the White House freezer waiting for the opportune time to be presented to the world one week pre-election November 2006.

5. Sure he will, just a few days before the Nov. Election
Don't think they won't pull out all the stops. Willie Horton was peanuts compared to what we're in for in the coming weeks.

6. Yep. That's what's going to happen.
His family is, afterall, old friends with our oil royalty. We did them a favor or two: pulled our military out of their country; caused the price of oil go go up qite a bit. They owe us. They never liked him much anyway, too much of a religious radical, made them look like degenerates. Do you really think the bin Ladens can't put their finger on him when they want to? What a convenient way to get rid of him and blame us.

10. The October Surprise?
It could be why Bush and Cheney are so confident that Repubs will remain in control come November.

15. Or maybe in two years?
They are probably deciding now when they want to spring the good news.
