Poll question: Is Bin Laden dead or alive?
I have noticed a higher volume of UBL threads, and I like it.... This really should be one of the top things that we should be pressuring the * administration on.

So what do you think, "dead or alive"?

Voting "other" could mean "not sure".
I personally think he's alive.

9. other:
one moment he's claiming he's not responsible for 9/11. stock market tanks, consume or the terrorists win. then a bunch of consent manufacturing videos show up on the networks where he is gassing dogs, and strolling around in fatigues with an AK looking insidious. next, an audio tape shows up where he claims that the infidel pig-dogs deserved the righteous attack of muhammed and his holy army.

enter: terror alerts abound. anthrax and black militant snipers loose in the DC area. consume, or the terrorist win.

america wakes up, yawns, rolls over. then goes out and buys a bunch of bumperstickers so the terrorist won't win. terror alerts go the way of boy who cry's wolf. alert effect wears off, and the American people go back to sleep.

'bin ladin' lays low until bush's poll numbers drop, then he mysteriously shows up to remind us that terror is alive and well, and we should all pay attention, and run up those credit cards.

'bin ladin' shows up again right before the election. his face and nose got wider, and he looks a little darker. cnn claims that bin ladin preferred kerry. bush 'wins'

when you juxtapose this information with George H.W. Bush running the CIA training of the Mujahadeen to fight the soviet invasion, while using the BCCI to funnel drugs into the country, and government financed defense contractor arms out of the country, you get a bad taste in your mouth. like maybe the CIA trained our enemy, or the CIA puppeteers our enemy. or hell, grover norquist is holding the damn cue-cards that 'bin ladin' is reading. in any event, there is more information to prove that 'bin ladin' is a government financed rove-roving boogey-man to keep us in place, than there is to prove that 'bin ladin' just plain ol' hates america.

so my opinion is: bin ladin isn't alive or dead: the truth is, he doesn't exist, except for a script.

4. Binny's just a Wag the Dog creation
Some CIA guys found some videotapes once, and Lo! They've come in handy when a foil was required. They dubbed it like a kung-fu movie and as fast as you can say ooga-booga, the official replacement for the cold war/evil empire was born. Rally around everyone, join together.

I'm half kidding.

7. I voted 'alive' but that is because...
the * admin doesn't care if he is or not. They would rather have everyone believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11. If that works to their advantage, to them it doesn't matter if he's alive or dead. But those of us who know right from wrong, hope that someday... someone will have the balls to find him and make him pay for the tragedy of 9/11.
