I'm Suspicious - There's Been Too Much Talk About OBL In MSM Lately.....
we haven't seen Condi, Cheney or Rummy recently. Could it be that the October surprise will be the capture of OBL? Are they arranging a deal now?

Do you think it will it make a difference if they do catch him? Will that seal the deal with the Repugs retaining control of the House and/or Senate?

1. I was saying the same thing last night. CNN's Know thy Enemy!
My "smell something funny" alert has been raised to code orange!

6. That isn't SUSPICION. It's common sense.
You've figured out the pattern, like 65% of the rest of America. Pay attention. It's coming.

14. That's a great idea ~ spoil their surprise
Bush said they're going to win in Nov. He said we'll 'be surprised'!

The best way to foil that, is to bet on it, and spread it around ~ you're absolutely right.

9. They will portray Bush*s failure to capture bin Laden
as an accomplishment, much as they portray his failure to do anything to stop 9/11 as his finest hour.

The way to do that is to continuously show those dark shadowy pictures of the magical maniac who is so crafty even Commander Codpiece can't catch him and then start repeating how democrats are weak on security and even though they fuck everything up, we can't have Nancy Pelosi in charge of security with a magical demon like bin Laden in the wings.

And, it will work. Because the media is owned lock stock and barrel by the extreme RW and they will use all their propaganda techniques to keep themselves in power.

It will work. People are stupid and propaganda is extremely effective.

10. Condi and Rummy are fighting over...
...which one gets to wear the robes and press-on beard in the next 'Osama' video. The regular actor is in huge demand to play "generic Muslim terrorist number 4" in a slew of upcoming 'action' movies, so one of BushCo is going to have to step into the role of everyone's favorite boogieman.

Things could get ugly (but with Rummy and Condi, that was always a given).

11. No, he's dead. He had a terminal illness. It's just booga booga. They
may use his name again for another 9-11 however.

12. I don't think they are going to capture him. I think they are going to
bring him down in a blaze of glory. It makes OBL a martyr, American's feel good, and OBL can slip quietly into the night to remain hidden, anonymous and live richly off his money in retirement on some island somewhere.

15. "...to remain hidden, anonymous and live richly off his money..."
Maybe he's got a condo with Ken Lay in the Caymans?

I see a potential remake of the "Odd Couple" for a new TV series!

13. Yeah, It's Happening More And More. Hell, it's Starting To Surpass
JonBenet Ramsey! Seriously, there is a very obvious pattern here. To go from "Osama Been Forgottn" to damn near 24/7 coverage, and a Sept. 10-11 ABC blame 9-11 on Clinton movie, and other channels with loads of 9-11 coverage, you know something's up. Yes, it is the 5th anniversary of 9-11, we can expect a little more coverage, but what I see on t.v. is a helluva lot more than 5 annivsersary type stuff.

18. George and Osama are the useful idiots...
...of their respective families. Families that are, by the way, somewhat closely tied. Families with very similar agendas. Families with similar views of the world and their roles in it. Large families of rich, not very smart yet ruthless people who are good at crony capitalism. George and Osama are the dummies of the family, the crazy uncles with a messiah complex, the brothers who didn't like business who were chosen to be the sacrificial lambs. The martyrs. The "charismatic" leaders. Ha!

Sumpin's gonna hap'n soon!

19. Will they find him in October. I figure they have him some place ready
to say look we found OBL in October prior to the elections. We found OBL because we wire tapped a phone.

20. Two Words:
October Surprise.

They probably found someone who looks enough like him to fool enough people right before the election. That's my guess. The MSM is dutifully preparing us for the inevitability of it.

Just my opinion.
