1. I swear
October Surprise is beginning to sound like April Fools. If he's captured it will reek of politics and Americans will reject it.

34. Okay, I'm In Los Angeles & I've Turned on KFI....
Art Bell's Coast to Coast is on.

I just listened to the 1am news report on KFI. And guess what?

No mention of Bin Laden being sighted or hunted. None whatsoever.

4. Are you sure it's not Yeti??
or maybe the tape we saw was recorded as far back as March (when we knew it was Kerry/Bush)..and they have had Osama for a while...just waiting for the "perfect moment" to "capture" him.. Like Saddam..

I think they knew where saddam was for a long time.. They were just negotiating the price for him.. I would bet money that the Kurds had him from early on.. When the price was right, they dumped him into that hole, and called the US military..

6. Pardon?
Hahaha, you MUST be joking...

Ossama, the day before the election. That would PROVE to so MANY people that Bush and bin Laden were working together. From such a bonanza, both would achieve their ends. Ossama would become a martyr, and Bush could style himself a cowboy. WAY too convienient.

22. No, because it's not LBN...
... this was reported as from Indian intelligence many hours ago by Fox News, without enough fact to justify even a moment's passing notice.

I'll never discount the next to impossible, but I think this is mostly a wild-assed news report meant to make the freepers feel better. They need something like that about now. :P

Car convoy spotted by Indian intelligence heading for the Himalayas, where bin Laden would stick out like a sore thumb amongst all those Buddhists, and so far away from his friends in Pakistan?

Doubtful.

Cheers.

dammit, how about some real information? Where'd you hear it?

How is it possible a radio station would be able to know what troops in the mountains of Afghanistan/Pakistan were doing up-to-the-minute?

18. There was a rumor going around that the Indians spotted him
up around Pakistan/India/China/Kashmir region (it wasn't very specific) and added that it had put them on "high alert".

It sounded bogus to me. This sounds like it could be the same report.

Or the Yeti.

19. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there are lots of false reports
of Osama sightings out there. And I also wouldn't be surprised if the right wing would make an attempt during the final campaigning days at trying to sensationalize such a false report in such a way as to convince Americans that OBL is about to be caught.

21. Too late to roll out OBL. Too many people would call bullshit on this
tactic being just one day before the election.They'd vote against Bush just for that reason alone. The window of opportunity for an October Surprise is over.

23. I'm not sure I can buy this...not sayin I don't believe you.
Saying that maybe they're full of shit.

Firstly if this is a radio station they'd be reporting news from the wire. Yahoo and Google both have searchable wire stories. I've done searches for bin Laden, timed it down to one hour and have gotten NOTHING that even REMOTELY says he's been spotted.

So where else could they be hearing this?

Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 04:00 AM by high density
We heard the same thing in September that they were "very close" to capturing bin Laden. The main source of this latest crap is Fox News. I think the GOP wants just one more bin Laden news cycle since everybody is already done rolling their eyes at the latest video.

32. Osama MAY be in Kashmir
This has been one of many guesses. They could catch him during the day, but I find it highly doubtful it will happen. Even if it happens Tuesday it could have an effect - swing some stupid undecideds.

Considering that newscaster did mention Bin Laden. Just nothing at all about him being seen or hunted.

And the mention wasn't even the lead story.

47. Gotta Say. I'm Having Trouble Believing Your Story.
If tomorrow proves I'm wrong, I'm willing to give you credit.

The newscaster didn't even lead with national news but instead chose a pretty insignificant local story.

Why would they drop the biggest story of the last four years in a half-hour? They wouldn't, IMO.

50. So if they spotted him a couple of days ago.....
Isn't it fair to say that this isn't breaking? So why is this RADIO station making it sound like it is? Moreover, it seems not even FOX itself has jumped on this story as I've not heard ANYTHING the past two days about it.....

54. It's just a low-grade rumor
Started with Debka, got to FOX, Times of India...I could see such a thing falling on to late night radio pretty easily.

My point is not that the story is accurate, but that I don't think MeowMix just made it up.

52. According To The Poster...
KFI reported a story that Bin Laden was spotted and special forces were moving in on him as we speak. Not only is Bin Laden public enemy #1 in this country but his capture could change the election.

It's a big deal.

And I find it strange that there's no confirmation on KFI. The "Times of India" does not confirm the KFI report, IMO.

Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 04:18 AM by Hoosierdaddee
to list amongst Limblow, Sludge and Dr. Haura (pronounced horror), "Jesus Christ" as one of their show "host".

see for yourself: http://www.kfi640.com/main.html

Streaming now (1:14 am PST)- woman talking about "sexual dreams" invoked by living in former SS barracks in Germany. ?!?!?

Breaking news or not nothing listed on the "news" page and nothing "breaking" on any of the major news/entertainment outlets.

Related: I have seen stories which push a rumor that OBL is hiding in the border area of China and that the Chinese have allowed this as a placation of the Muslims living in the NW.

Yeah whatever!
