    On another board over a year ago, I predicted that Bush would be holding out on finding bin Laden until just before the election. bin Laden is Bush's ace in the hole. In fact, I also contended at the time that it wasn't so far fetched to believe that Bush had bin Laden stowed away in some cave (in the hole so to speak) in Pakistan until just before the election so he could claim the victory and stir up Americans for the time of the big vote.

    And sure enough, just as predicted, Bush doesn't disappoint. He has had his spokesman, release this data. Even the reporter who asked about the release of this data was told that Lehman doesn't NORMALLY speak on these things. Here's the excerpt from the article provided below:

    Yeah, they'll get him alright....... just after Bush is re-elected. ;) :rolleyes:

    HMMMMMMM. You know, it has been the DEMS and CPer's who have been saying it is the Bin Laden Stupid and saying that Bush tool his eye off the ball which is capturing or killing OBL. I guess, politically speaking, you could say that if they live by the OBL they die by the OBL. :D

    I, for one, would be extremely happy if he did get OBL. Wouldn't you? You know, I have tried to tell you DEMS before, but you just won't listen (thankfully) [​IMG]

    Appealing to the left wing extreme conspriacy kook wing of the party like Theresa Heinz Kerry does, does not help your candidate. It only helps Bush. But please, by all means, continue screeching at the top of your lungs. Please, let's see more Al Gore. More Howard Dean. ARRRRRAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

    If Bin Laden is alive, and in some spider hole somewhere, Bush would have been better off politically to have captured him on the spot and produced hi a long time ago. It would have taken away 90% of Kerry's campaign rhetoric about attacking Iraq and not going after Bin Laden. For Bush to get him right before the election would look bad on Bush's part. To hold him until after the election would be risky because if he loses (which he will not) it would give Kerry the opportunity to produce him and make him look like the big hreo. Personally I think Bin Laden is dead.

    Only to unhinged left wing conspiracy kooks. Average Americans don't care when it happens, just as long as it happens. This event, if it does happen, will totally unhinge the looney left and they will go absolutely crackers trying to convince the American Public of a conspiracy. Most Americans will either laugh at them or be appalled at their outrage. This issue is a loser for the DEMS and CPers and they really should have abandoned it a long time ago. However, I must admit that I am happy they haven't. :D

    It doesn't matter whether bin Laden is there or not. Bush only has to create the illusion that he knows where he is, and is just biding his time.

    Do you suppose if we really knew where he was, we'd let him know it?

    That would be incredibly stupid, wouldn't it? That would be like letting an Iranian agent know we knew how to decode Iranian transmissions.

    Oh, wait...

    Joseph is wrong again. The CP'ers (this one anyway) and the Dems (Madeline Albright, I believe it was) said all along OBL would be captured right before the election to assure a Bush win. [​IMG]

    Pretty much the way it is. And, as you can see, Lady Eagle, Rove figures there's enough gullible people to make it work.

    Apparently, he's right.

    Well JBot and Gershom I think I'll pass on that Gore and Dean business..... I'm not one o' "Dem".

    oh and the profanity uttered by your Cheney as well is what I'll pass on.

    I also noted that Heinz-Kerry made an apology to your Laura for remarks she made about the school teacher business. I was impressed by her attempt to be fair and honest with Miss Laura but the White House staff rebuffed her and that was totally uncalled for, just like it was uncalled for for Lynne Cheney to rebuff John Kerry's recognition of Lynne's lesbian daughter.

    Yet, this whole bin Laden thing really upsets me as Bush could have concentrated his efforts long before now to capture or eliminate bin Laden instead of invading a sovereign nation outside of Afghanistan. Bush has allowed his interests in bin Laden to be sidelined, taking the pressure off, so that OBL can set up camp comfortably in Pakistan and resume his operations.

    Just like now in the originating article. They supposedly know where he is, but they've decided to sit on the urgency to capture or kill him until later when it might be more convenient. I understand the tactics alright, but leaking the information to the American public just before the elections has politics as usual written all over it. Since they decided to sit it out with regard to OBL why didn't they wait to release that info until after the election???

    Just like Bush used the 9/11 aftermath as a base for his re-election, it appears he is using this OBL information the same way, and that's just despicable, IMO.

    Unfortunately, in my area (maybe all of Georgia), the CP won't be represented on the ballot in November, and since we use the electronic voting machines there is no way to enter a write-in vote.

    Poor fella. [​IMG]

    BTW, no apology would have been necessary if Mrs. Kerry would have kept her trap shut about Mrs. Bush in the first place.

    Let us rejoice if Osama bin Laden is in fact cornered.

    Actually, it's more like Rove decided that floating a rumor that we have him cornered is the next best thing to actually doing it.

    Kept her trap shut??? It was an honest mistake. Teresa didn't know that Miss Queenie Laura had worked even one lick. When Teresa Heinz-Kerry realized her honest mistake, she in all of her honesty had the grace to apologize. Teresa Heinz-Kerry showed more grace than did the first lady upon hearing the apology. That spoke volumes as to what Teresa was made of and what miss laura was made of as well.

    I'm sure it wasn't Laura Bush; she seems to be ordinarily well-mannered. But the campaign comes first,and so rudeness was required by Dubya's handlers.

    Sad, but that's the way it goes.

    Yeah. She should have kept her trap shut.

    You really need to get your facts straight.

    From USAToday:

    I don't know how much more "grace" you would want in Mrs. Bush's response "upon hearing the apology."

    There was nothing rude about Laura Bush's response. She was gracious. I am glad Mrs. Kerry apologized, but it would have looked worse if she had not.

    Wow. Not to blow my own horn, but I have been saying all along that 1) Bin Laden is in Pakistan and 2) we aren't allowed in there.

    I wonder if Bush's radical Muslim friends in Pakistan will set it up for him as an election prop.

    If we're speaking of First Ladies, I think Mrs. Bush is the classiest we've had in a while--Think Barbara Bush, Rosalyn Carter (yeah, I know she's a dem--but she's still graceful--must be the Southern genes! lol--I'm from NC so I can say that. lol).

    Mrs. Kerry, on the other hand, is not helping her husband's campaign one bit. To me, IMHO, she's seems to be a loose cannon--maybe a Hillarywannabe?

    Just my .02.

    If they've released this information, and it turns out either not to be true, or it doesn't lead to Bin Laden's capture before November 2, which is highly unlikely, Bush is a goner. I seriously doubt that this is reliable information. The Bush administration wouldn't dare admit something like this without being able to capture the guy. They can't look like they're holding out for a pre-election news release without actually having him in hand. If that happens, we'll see the largest defeat of an incumbent president in history--Nader will get more votes. Oh, I forgot. No matter how corrupt or bad Bush is, the extremist religious right will be good for, well, five or six million votes.

    Oh, disappointment. I see that your source for the info is WorldNetDaily. No credibility. Too bad. I was hoping for some hype before Bush falls.

    Would you please point out to me where the White House has released any information at all about this issue? Perhaps I missed it.
