If Bin Laden Is Caught Or Killed Before The Election By *Co......
do you think it will sway votes to McCain?

In the last few weeks it seems like I've been reading every few days that rocket or drone's have been striking Pakistan - around the Afghan border and killing people.

In my mind this is a concerted last ditch effort by *Co to try and get Bin Laden before the election. I think they are hoping that if they are successful that it can tip the election in the favor of the Repugs.

Any thoughts on this?

1. Honestly? At this point... too little too late.
The fact that he's evaded us this long is a national embarassment.

18. Was used. They've lately taken to pretending that Bin Laden isn't even the 9/11 mastermind.
They CAUGHT the REAL mastermind! He is already locked up and the world is safe.

2. Bin Laden doesn't matter anymore, remember??
According to Bush admin, he wasn't the mastermind of 911. They won't find him, because they aren't looking for him.

3. The execution of Saddam didn't help in '06
It would look WAY too obvious. And besides, Bush would have no choice but to bring the troops home.

4. I'm not sure who they'd prop up.. I'm pretty sure the original is dead.
He had kidney failure.. he was on dialysis.. I think the original is dead.

6. No because it will make McSame look foolish.
He says that he knows where Osama is, but he's not sharing until he gets elected. It will take away his one last hope for any victory.

8. It would not even make a big splash now
With the economy being such a problem, it would be like, Osama who?

9. Which one would they bring back?
The fat one, the one with the fake beard or the one whose mouth doesn't even move with the words he's saying?

10. Or the Disney Animatronic Osamabot from the October 2004 hit video release
Damn Disney engineers built a robot that was way too short, and nobody even realized it until after Ken Blackwell stole Ohio.

14. No, the opposite will happen. McCain is against striking targets in Pakistan
and has called Obama naive for suggesting this.

17. I think it helps Obama. The election becomes only about the economy
and the national security fear factor is gone
