2. I posted a few weeks back, the fallout from capturing or killing OBL
could be frightening. Unlike Saddam, OBL is beloved. Saddam was a villian, OBL will be a martyr. Do you remember how the Arabs were outraged when they showed the de-lousing of Saddam on tv? And they hated him. I am not suggesting that we not capture OBL, I am suggessting that this administration had better have its shit together when they decide to parade him on the airwaves for their own political gain because there will be a backlash. Judging by the past actions of this administration, I think it is obvious they don't have their shit together and the consequences of that could be devastating.

They will just parade him around and declare what a hero the chimp is and then let the chips fall where they may.
