U.S. Military 'Sure' of Catching Bin Laden This Year
KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S. military is "sure" it will catch Usama bin Laden (search) this year, a spokesman said Thursday, but he declined to comment on where the Al Qaeda (search) leader may be hiding

This really piqued my interest after reading some posts here and there about them trotting out bin laden for the election. It's not so tinfoil after all.

1. Yes, they're "sure" they'll catch him
Some time in October 2004. ;-)

2. This is BS
I wish there was a way we could call them on this. It's so obvious that they are setting up for his "capture".

3. If This Isn't The Most Blatantly Obvious Set-Up I've Ever Seen
then I don't know what is. I know a con when I see one...This is all about prepping the mark and the US public is the mark.

4. Well! That tells me they've already got him
Madeline Albright wasn't kidding after all.

5. And I am sure that will happen in early October
My question is, why are people so fucking stupid that they can't see through this?

11. Why
...are you so smart that you can see what no one else does? If Bush had bin Laden, we'd all be hearing about it right now, it would drown out the Dem primaries.

That said, I do think they'll get him before the election; Bush's future depends on it.

6. They've got him on ice.
I believe they've had him for awhile and will trot him out right around election time.

7. They probably have him already, but
announcing that they "will find him" by the end of the year makes no sense. Why would they show their hand this early?

8. They'll find him if Clark or Kerry is the nominee.
They think that will destroy their reasons to challenge Bush.

The thing is, that leaves the public with no reason to keep Bush.

9. When does Bin Laden season come in?
Sounds like the hunting channel or something! I'm betting they either have him now or they know where he is! Bush's Daddy will prolly make Shrub pardon bin Laden after the election anyway!

10. Looks like bin Laden got the first punch in again!
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 05:34 PM by Hubert Flottz
Big explosion in Afghanistan several Americans dead!

"'Sure' of Catching Bin Laden This Year" = "Bring It On!"

Bush runs his mouth and people get killed over it again! That ain't a damned bit cute or funny! Just so bush can strut around and campaign a little, our soldiers pay in REAL blood!
