Are Dems prepared for OBL's capture?

[JPJones]

Pakistan is on the case after years of doing nothing. If they decide they want Bush instead of Kerry, they'll deliver OBL. It's a risk for them though. The General, General general, Mooosharef will have to put down a revolution if they deliver up OBL, but it's a price he may be willing to pay. Pakistan has already gotten untold billions from the War on Terra (and some F16's?). http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3158456

Also notice the three al Quieedah captures in the last two weeks. I'd put the chances of an OBL capture before Nov. 2 at 70%.

So, are the Dems prepared? I wish Kerry was saying, "I would have captured OBL a long time ago". I wish Dean was on TV every week talking about the politicization of the The Struggle Against Ideological Extremists Who Do Not Believe In Free Societies Who Happen to Use Terror as a Weapon… To Try to Shake The Conscience of the Free World.

There, I said it. I don't think we can win this thing without anticipating the capture, and I don't think we can win without Dean on the Sunday talk shows speaking the truth.

1. If OBL were to be captured

It would be thanks to our military and foreign intelligence and assistance NOT the "great" leadership of Shrubya.

3. Irrelevant - voters will vote for the administration that gets him

Doesn't matter what the facts are.

6. Yea but the other thing is it'll be just a little too much of a

conincidence if he gets captured just in time for election day....only strong bush supporters would not notice this..I think swing voters would still question it..

7. I hope you're right, on the other hand, see my post below..

10. Not if they don't have a job

Bush has stated he's irrelevant.

2. dude, we're a catch-all party

of course we can find a way to spin it. what we're not ready for is the media making it sound like * got on a plane and captured OBL single-handedly and the public believing it.

4. My only hope is this: the bump from "getting" Saddam was short and small

5. It would backfire if only the Dems were willing to play

the "Watch for the 'October Surprise'" card.

8. We forgave about a half billion in debt to Pakistan

a month or so ago, combined with a billion written off last year. I figure that OBL will be wheeled out pretty soon.

9. I think he's been dead for 3 1/2 years.

Not one video has been released by OBL since late 2001. I think he would have made at least one video that shows it was made in 2002 or beyond; yet there have been none.

Maybe he's dead then, huh?

I doubt he's being silent simply to make us think he's dead. The urge to make a video and taunt the west would be too great for a man of his ilk. His compatriots are making videos, but he isn't.

And for that reason I don't think they can produce him before any election, so Democrats should be safe from that Republican propaganda victory.
