Will "finding" bin Ladin still help George&Co win the election?
Senator Charles Grassley apparently has stated that he thinks we will find bin Ladin before the November election.

So, if the guy actually is found will George receive jubilant adoration or will the American people just be tired of the whole charade? Will the grim realities of everyday life, the economy that doesn't respond to the magic of tax cuts and trickle down, the growth of a regressive tax system, eroding public services, a crumbling infrastructure, and an appalling scarcity of jobs take precedence over an arrest of a sick criminal and common terrorist?

Will Americans finally be tired of the divisive posturing and manipulation that has characterized this administration since its' inception?

2. Of course it will


And you can plan on it happening too.

If I knew where to go, I'd put money on it happening anywhere from the time of the Dem convention to a week before the election.

3. the question to raise would be


Why the hell go to Iraq and put the hunt for the man behind 9-11 on the back burner? Now that we know for sure Iraq was not any kind of threat,we should drive home the point that the "real threat" was left at large the entire time.

4. Exactly, we need to be prepared and have our issues clearly defined.
Earlier today, I was looking through CNN and saw a reference to who, Kerry, Edwards, or Clark, would be president in 2005. Now I can't find it, it was a CNN article. But, with all the things that seem to be cropping up in the last day or so, it makes you wonder if the media is turning. Is public awareness driving the change in the media?

5. The correct wording is When will bin Laden will be PRODUCED
He probably has already been "found" whether alive or not is the question.
