... post your guess with as much specificity as you care to.

Closest guess wins bragging rights!

I'm going to guess Sunday morning, November 2, 2008 about 4 a.m. EST.

What's your guess?

12. The race was so much closer, then.
It won't work this time. Obama is seen by the majority of Americans as a leader, the next leader, the first leader in a long time.

4. January 20th...about 4pm
As soon as boooshie is evicted...bin Laden shows up at a Service Station in Maryland he's been working at for the past 4 years and yells "fooled ya".

:rofl:

bin Laden's capture or death (and I see two different reactions) would hurt Gramps cause it would take away his greatest toy...war. By eliminating him, we eliminate the main excuse for this "war on terror" and the billions it passes off to contractors...he doesn't want that. That's why he keeps saying he's got this "secret" plan...all we have to do is elect him to find out.

15. Yes, but ...
... the capture/death of bin Laden proves the "success" of the Bush War Of Terror™.

If bin Laden is not killed or captured, that will prove that the GOP policy to go into Iraq was wrong.

They need a Grande Finale!

7. They won't do it if they are smart (and probably not anyway)
because it will give the appearance that they could have caught him (after 7 years of leaving him out there) but only brought him in trying to win an election.

ain't gonna work. that said, most of what they are doing isn't working either. if they could have fixed the stock market in short order that would have been the best thing they could have done for McCain and would've given the appearance that the Republicans knew what they were doing. of course, they didn't so...

10. The Bush Administration is breaking International Law to get Bin Laden
The CIA is using robot aircraft to fire missiles into Pakistani schools, the Army rangers are flying across the border into Syria, and who knows what else the MSM is covering up for them.

11. Who's bin Laden?
Is he that guy that chimpy vowed to get 7 years ago? The one that chimpy said he doesn't spend much time worrying about? The one mcPOW was going to chase to the gates of hell?

It may be all they have, it may even be in the plans. But, it will not "work". If anything, it will remind Americans of the shitty job the neo-cons did. We can declare, "the waronterra is over, we won, now let's rebuild this country that chimpy/mcPOW systematically destroyed."

16. I'm surprised they didn't do it already.
If they were smart, they would have done it a month ago when they weren't behind in the polls. If they do it now, people will think they could have done it all along and just saved it for the election. That should piss people off BUT there are always those idiots out there who would take any "positive" for the McCain campaign that they could get. They seem to be very good at turning a blind eye to the truth when it serves them well.

18. For the last 18 years...
The military, police and other "security" forces of at least 13 nations have failed in this quest.

What makes you beleive they will now be successful?
