"Bin Laden is dead" and a tinfoil moment (maybe)
OK, maybe this is tinfoil, but I am beginning to wonder if Bin Laden is in fact dead and that Bush was going to try to claim we made him dead in October (Rove's "October Surprise"?) but that somebody (the French) spilled the beans to ruin the party.

You know, maybe bomb the crap out of some empty cave, dig up his grave and take DNA samples to prove it and have Bush as Grand Marshall of the annual Halloween Parade in the Village (you know, the one where all the gays and lesbians march in full regalia). This way he could take credit for Bin Laden and claim to be a champion of gay and lesbian rights at the same time! It would be a coup! But those damned French!!

1. Rove will dig Osama up and 'kill' him again for October
or just put him in a hole like Saddam.

or there will be another video of Osama embalmed

2. My perspective on this ordeal...
...Its all bullshit fabricated to distract people from whats really happening. Whats really takeing place in this guise is that ShrubCo has deployed a fleet that includes the nuclear aircraft carrier Eisenhower to the Persian Gulf to stage a blockcade against Iran. The Blockcade is an act of War and Iran, Under the Geniva rules of ingadgement has all the right it needs to retaliate and knowing Iran they will do so with fury.

3. My bets are placed!
I placed a bet with some "political junkie" friends yesterday, when CNN was foaming at the mouth at the prospect of having broken the story.

The French tried to ruin Turd Blossom's October surprise. I have $$$ riding on it!

4. I am with you on that
Nothing would surprise me anymore. And the French sure would be justified in giving him some agita.

5. I think the French
spoiled KKKarl's plan.

Nevertheless - he will come up with a new one - probably another "plot" INSIDE the US on a MASSIVE scale foiled by shredding the Constitution ---- only to fall apart AFTER the election.

8. I don't think there's much question about it.
After YEARS of "Osama who?" he's important again. After not even mentioning Osama's name in a speech for years, Junior's given scripts redolent of "Osama bin Laden (booga-booga)," "Osama bin Laden (booga-booga)," "Osama bin Laden (booga-booga)!" We have the spectacle of "Path to 9/11" and Chris Wall-ass's amBUSH interview of Bill Clinton. We have the strangely-leaked report of Osama's death, allegedly due to typhoid. (Was this a counter-psyops assault?)

It seems clear they're prepared to produce the body (or a photo) in October ... probably in the week before Halloween.

I can't find any reason whatsoever that we've had this resurgent flurry of propaganda except for such plans.

9. I thought that on Sunday and had a very hearty laugh.
"Ha, ha...there's goes your October surpise and the French beat you to it. Ha, ha, ha." I had a very good day.

10. If he is dead.. and they didn't report it immediately..it was held back
Edited on Mon Sep-25-06 05:52 PM by applegrove
for political reasons. This WH doesn't make a-political decisions.

We don't know if bin Laden is dead or not. Looking more and more like a rumour.

All the reporters are speculating themselves that the rumour could be some special ops rumour..to try and track the terrorist down.

Take off your tin foil hat. Nobody has the needed information. Everyone is speculating.

12. It wouldn't matter much of OBL got dead now rather than
a few weeks from now. I do not think that there is anything accidental about an 'intelligence leak' all such leaks are with intent and the intent is to make public a specific set of information or disinformation and we can never know which is which.

So my guess is that this is disinformation intended to provoke a bit of activity from OBL HQ in the hopes that this activity can be detected and OBL in fact killed or captured before Nov.

The current october suprise is the carefully orchestrated torture crap designed to portray the Democratic Party as either a bunch of terrorist symps or else a bunch of weak willed me-tooers.

13. Some of us are way ahead of you.


Maybe the tinfoil truck just reaches our neighborhoods sooner or something.
