The date Bin Laden will be captured?
I personally believe the Admin knows where Bin Laden is (if not exactly, surely within a small area) and and is waiting for the right political time to get him. I think they will capture and parade him before the upcoming election. Then they will say they have gotten Saddam and Osama and thereby deserve anoterh 4 years.

My prediction date: Monday, October 11, 2004

But hey, I may just by crazy about all fo this and its true that the worlds most powerful military and Intelligence agency cannot find a 6'-5'' man on dialysis who is the leader of one of the largest terrorist organizations in the world and who is hiding within a region of a few hundred square miles.

11. They will never capture him
Or get a hold of his body. In the providence where he is supposedly holed up he is a hero. The most popular name for new babies there is Osama. He is said to have a 150 km long circle of fighters and tribesmen surrounding and protecting him. They will not catch him. If we go into that part of pakistan all hell will break lose. The Pakistani government has never been able to control the area. They cannot even find the bodies of fighters killed on the streets of Iraq, I seriously doubt that Bin Ladens followers would allow his body to be captured. There will be no "Osama surprise" and even if there was it wont save Bush. His credibility is ruined.

4. Why it doesn't make sense
If they knew for sure were bin laden was, and how to secure the capture, I do not believe he would have found the need to appear on meet the press, scramble to defend his national guard record, and start putting out anti-Kerry ads on the internet.

Time will tell...

5. Osama is in Cuba right now.
He is scheduled to be 'captured' on October 18th at noon. Any earlier, and Shrubbie's poll numbers will have time to fall back to reality.

6. You Will Never See Him Alive
There isn't a chance on earth that he will come up captured alive. There's a whole host of reasons why not. First off no matter where he was held the host nation would come under almost constant attack. Even that Jackass Bush could not begin to concieve the war of terror that would rain on this country if he were held here. The second reason is that there is a chance he might disclose his sources of funding.

Now just think about it for a minute .....

7. The ace In Bush's hole. Let the people know.
Staged Capture of Bin Laden Coming Soon

<snip>

Around 16 months ago nationally syndicated radio talk show host Alex Jones was told by a source close to the Bush family that bin Laden was already dead and that the body had been handed over after an agreement with the bin Laden family. The source said bin Laden was on ice and his death would be announced only right before the 2004 election.

Madeleine Albright recently told Fox News that Bush already has bin Laden and is waiting to roll him at a politically expedient time. Understand that when she said this she was stern faced, she wasn't joking.

The Associated Press reported the comments of Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty, who stated that bin Laden's general location was known and that he would be found within months. The recent rumblings about troop movements into northern Pakistan betray the fact that such an operation is in the works. (More) <http://www.prisonplanet.com/analysis_watson.html>

12. any other sources
speaking about Madeleine Albright's comments? I doubt Fox would post anything that damaging to the Administration. Has anyone else heard about her comments?

17. Madeleine Albright was scheduled to appear on Fox News
Madeleine Albright was scheduled to appear on Fox News to talk about the capture of Saddam, and she said in the waiting-room something to the effect of that the Bush Administration was waiting for the right time to trot out Usama. Mort Kondracke made a big announcement of her comment on the air, though it would have been more polite to consider a comment in the waiting-room off the record.

I don't think Albright was speaking out of personal information, just making a sarcastic remark about the potential of the Bush Administration for manipulation.

9. I'll take Sept 27
Late enough to still give a bump, but not October to avoid being called "October Surprise". Also a Monday so it gets the full week of prime coverage.

13. Ouch!
My mental picture of the orgy of jingoistic emotionalism that OBL's "capture" on that date would unleash is gut wrenching. Weeks and weeks of raging collective insanity.

15. Try Oct 25, 2004...
Close enough to the election that people will not forget.

It's also the anniversary of Wellstone's death.

Of course, I think this administration has fewer active brain cells than a glass of milk does.

The (mis)administration is more likely to LIHOP again and spin it to their advantage.

One thing is for sure. If Bush wins legitimately this time, the middle class is doomed and the lower class will be worse off.

When do we tell the poor to stop killing each other and start looking for something better to beat up?
