Pool on what day in 2004 Osama will be caught -- What do you bet?
I say October 28th, 2004 -- going into the weekend of the general election!

I hear soldiers over there say we know where he is and are just waiting!

1. No way
It'll be during the GOP convention.

No doubt about it. They'll probably have, as some brilliant prophet said in an earlier thread, Andrew Card come out and whisper in *'s ear. * will turn to the camera with a practiced, phony look of surprise and delight and cry, "WE GOT HIM!!"

5. No, that would be just too obvious
more likely they would back it up to Sept 29th so ....... horrors, who us? Manufacture an October surprise? The nerve of the suggestion that such honest christians would stoop to such a dastardly act!

6. The day before the election.
It's the only way to be sure duhbya gets the maximum bounce on the only day that really matters.

15. I'm saying October 15th, too
Gives just a couple of weeks for the "joy" to sink in with the Freeper masses, and it occurs on a Friday so that the corporate media can masturbate over it for the next two days without really asking any questions about it.

11. 911 - good one
and certainly has a poetic ring, but again, too obvious

12. September 20
No particular significance other than the 11th would be "too obvious" and anything in October would bring up "October surprise" political talk.

Sept 20 is late enough not to wear off before the election.

But I do think they will produce him before the election - even if it means invading Syria, Jordan, Pakistan, Iran and or Saudi Arabia to do it.The way other things are going, they will feel this is their only sure ticket to win - and won't care how many people are killed on the way.

13. Between the conventions
They'll let us enjoy our little short-lived bounce before they drop the Big One. Their convention in NYC will become an orgy of celebration and patriotism. They'll expect the euphoria to last the entire six weeks until the election. But they'll be wrong and they'll lose any way...

14. Earlier than that. . . .
his numbers are tanking. People are beginning to ask a lot of questions. I think that Osama could be "caught" as early as late Spring or early Summer. That way, the repugs can run one a commercial showing their "prizes" Saddam & Osama and the person "responsible" for their capture-shrubbie with the inevitable voice-over of "He put an end to the war on terrorism and caught our most dangerous enemies." Except he's a far bigger threat to this country than either Osama or Saddam ever was.

16. Can we start a real pool somehow?
This is pretty interesting and the media might pick up on it.

19. I mentioned this days ago,hoping the powers at DU would take it up
Hell,I think it would be fun. It would have to be narrowed down to the hour and minute,there would be several guess the same day. Maybe DU could give out a small prize or something.

Thats my hope too that some media would pick up on it showing how freaking obvious it will be when Bush "just happens" to pull UBL out of his hidey hole.

20. The Saddam Bounce didn't even last 2 weeks
That's why it will be the week before. Plus less time for media to report on theories we knew where he was and this is an "October Surprise"!

21. Capt Ray-gun's funeral and tragic passing will be during
our convention to eliminate any bounce we might get. Then the repub convention. Massive plot to attack us found on Oct 10 and Osama caught on Oct 25.

22. 9/4/04
Right before the convention.

Before 10/04 fiscal reports.

Before Iraq war funding ends and prior to special funding request.

If that does not work, big explosion in 10/04 to mark beginning of martial law and suspension of elections.

my 2 cents.
