"bin Laden arrested a long time ago, Bush (will) use it for propaganda"
Edited on Sat Feb-28-04 06:55 AM by Paragon
While I'm not inclined to believe you could keep that a secret between more than two people, it is encouraging that the mainstream press picked up the story. - Paragon

The report said that U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's visit to the region this week was in connection with the arrest. In Washington, a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, denied early Saturday that bin Laden was captured.

The report was carried by Iran radio's external Pushtun service. The director of Iran radio's Pushtun service, Asheq Hossein, said he had two sources for the report that bin Laden had been captured...

Iranian state radio quoted its reporter as saying the arrest happened a long time ago.

"Osama bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the presidential election," he said...

1. Would'nt surprise too many people at this point.
Everything these guys do is orchestrated to benefit them, and them only. They have zero respect for the lives, or even the intelligence of the populace.

2. Republican bastards extended the Vietnam War just to insure
a Republican win. The war could have ended earlier, but it was a presidential election year and a win would have maintained the current Democratic administration. So the Republicans managed to extend it until Nixon came into office. How many Americans died for their political ploy? Human lives don't mean anything to these people.

3. Pentagon doublespeak
Notice the language the underlings are using:

"Larry Di Rita, the chief Pentagon spokesman who traveled with Rumsfeld this week to Afghanistan, denied the report. "I don't have any reason to think it's true," he said Saturday.

Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty, a spokesman for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, also said he had no information to suggest bin Laden had been caught."


No one will say, "He has NOT been captured." Because that would be too damning if all the dots were connected.

4. We will see on Hallowe'en.
I figure that will be the latest Rove can bring him out to boost The Chimp's numbers before the "election". Much earlier, and the short-attention-spanned Sheeple will be back to looking at jiggle-boobs on cable Tee-Vee....

I wonder if they'll present him in a cage, with a yoke chained around his wrists and neck and filthy?
