At What Point Does Kerry Say"Where's Osama" Oct 28th?
Once it's that late we'll know they don't have him- That could be an 11th hourKnockout punch for Big John- Will this be part of the strategy?

3. The old lawyerly advice
Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to.

4. As the spouse of an evil trial lawyer- I say good point-however he
should ask why he wasn't our main priority and that the screw up in Tora Bora let him get away

5. Osama is just one "Ace" that Kerry won't play.
If he wanted to speak for US, there are dozens of Bush bumbles Kerry could attack. If the situations was reversed, we all know that the GOP would be howling "Where's Bin Laden?" a thousand times a day, all over the corporate media. There would also be reference after reference to it at the upcoming RNC convention.

As it is, though, the GOP will never bring up the subject and -- because they are beholden to the GOP -- neither will the national media. Which is a disgrace, but we ought to be used to a disgraceful GOP and antional media by now.

The Hunt for Bin Laden should have been Bush's highest priority. It became his lowest. If Kerry wanted to win -- REALLY wanted to win, the way the GOP wants to win -- he would mention Osama in every speech.

And a dozen other hard-hitting charges, too.

Instead, he wants to gaze misty-eyed off into the horizon and talk about the 'vision' he has for America. Barf. If it weren't for MoveOn.com, the Kerry campaign would have no balls at all.

6. I'd rather he dug out the quote ...
...from March 03 when Bush said he "didn't know and really didn't care" where Osama is, and ask him why he doesn't care to find the SOB supposedly behind the Sept 11th attacks ...

I'm sure Georgie and his creeps know where OBL is, hell - he's got a mailing address on his BFEE paychecks, right ? :evilgrin:

13. that should be in commercial for move on
Iraq: Bush "Bring it on"
picture showing how many US soldiers in coffins since that statement
how many wounded since that comment
then Bush saying he "didn't know and really didn't care" where Osama is,
as he is too busy with Iraq then show him fishing with Rolland Martin! or falling off his mountain bike he rides on flat ground. or him cutting brush and looking for bugs.

7. Well, it's a damn good question
It's a win-win for Kerry. They have no legitimate answer, and they can't turn it back on Kerry in any way. This has nothing to do with IWR or Iraq or even, *gasp*, Swiftboats. He should be hammering him on this.

11. If he is on ice somewhere
Literally or figuratively, Kerry shouldn't ask too soon--they'll produce him the next day and the media will jump all over Kerry for daring to doubt our great anti-terra leader.

12. That would be a huge mistake. Kerry would never risk it.
Kerry would risk Bush turning him out the next day. It would build up Osama as the be and end all of the WOT.
The fact is Osama is a tiny part of the war on terror at this point.
That horse is long out of the barn.

14. OBL's spidey-hole?
Glad I'm not the only one paranoid about this possibility.

I've been fretting off and on since March: what if W. has OBL in a cell somewhere, and trots him out third week in October?

True as it may be that the terrorist networks have now decentralized, it would still be a powerful relief to most of the US to see the 9/11 perp in chains.

15. It's not a spider-hole
(as was the case with Saddam Hussein), I believe he is not in a spider-hole, he's in an oubliette!
