When does Shrub and Co produce Osama Bin Laden?

[VotefurKerry]

I say a week before the election.

[Goldmund]

1. I say never.

[mrbassman03]

2. Never...

If they had him cornered, there is no way they would risk losing him.

[Kierkegaard]

3. I say a week after the election.

The way his campaign has been bungling things up lately, this should be the ultimate knee-slapper to crown his legacy as Pretzeldent.

[VotefurKerry]

4. I believe they have him hidden away

They can produce him anytime.

JMHO

9. If that's the case, he better be dead.

They aren't stupid enough to try bringing bin Laden out a month before the election. Why wouldn't he just say "They've had me in custody for 6 months."

5. I say never.

But if they do, they obviously haven't told Bush. With the way he acted at the debate, it's obvious he has Saddam on the brain and has completely forgotten about Usama.

6. Third week of October.

A week before the election cuts things too close.
They know where he generally is. I expect
an all out manhunt in the next week.
Possibly sooner now that * is down
in the polls.

7. If they have him...and

they very well might... They'll trot him out about a week before the election. Maybe sooner if he keeps making an ass of himself in the debates.

[Randi_Listener]

8. Won't matter.

Not as much as you think. Iraq is still a shit clusterfuck.

[enough]

10. Here's why I think they do NOT have him.

Kerry was all over the missing Osama in the debate. If W knew something about Osama coming out before the election, he would not have been able, in his desperation, to restrain himself from making at least some little smirking hints and references to it.

Up until then, I was assuming that they did have him. Seeing that, I don't think so.

(Unless, of course they are keeping it from him also, which seems unlikely.)

11. If they don't get him, I look for them to find a cave in Afghanistan with

possible remains of Bin Laden. After the election they could say after DNA testing they determined it wasn't him.

[Geek_Girl]

12. Never

They will never get Bin Laden. And I believe the reason is because that will cost too much trouble with their middle eastern business partners if they capture and incarcerate someone so closely tied to the Saudi Royals.

13. He's gotta be dead

Didn't bin Laden have massive kidney failure and was hooked up on dialysis before 9/11? How the hell are you gonna get treatment for that in Afghan caves? Also, bin Laden ain't exactly a spring chicken.
