It has started

Post by Kelshara »

They have started building bin Laden up before his obvious capture later this fall:
Recent intelligence shows that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, are directing the latest threat against the U.S., senior intelligence officials told CNN. "What we know about this most recent information is it's being directed from the senior-most levels of the al Qaeda organization," said one official.
Anybody surprised? Nice timing with the recent selection of Democratic VP candidate as well!

Bin Laden will never be captured, he would kill himself by closing his mouth and refusing to breathe before he would allow himself to be captured

but of course, thats irrelevent

Word from non Western sources is that we already have him, basically. The rumor is that he is being held by Pakistan who will hand him over just before the election in exchange for current and future concessions in the region.
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

Timeline:

July-August: Terror threat hyped up in the media
Early September: Home Defense Warning raised to orange

Late September scenario A: The presidential race is close...Announcement that Osama has been captured. Bush wins

Late September scenario B: Bush trails by a large margin...major terrorist attack occurs within the United States followed by Osama being captured....Bush wins.

Late September scenario C: Bush filmed snorting a line of coke off an intern's breast...major terrorist attack occurs in US...Osama captured...Hillary secretly releases pictures to the media of Kerry in the late 70's pounding a young boy in the ass while giving him a reach around...Bush wins

Would I vote for Bush if Osama was captured? Of course not. I don't see why it should matter.

I'll make up a scenario D for you!

For most of the general stupid populace, it doesn't take much to swing votes. It's been established on another thread that Bush had the stupid vote in 2000 so if he begins to lose them it shouldn't take much to get them back!

I would believe that if half of Pakistan's military weren't either al'queda sympathizers or already card carrying members.

actually, you would pass out and start breathing on your own, but of course, that is irrelevent.

You guys are unbelievable. . .you are excusing away something that has not even happened (really. . .it hasn't. . .truly).

It's their blind hatred of Bush. They laugh down other peoples ideas and label them as conspiracy nuts, but here they are with their own conspiracy....yet they truly believe in it as fact. ROFL

Preach on you hipocrits....preach on.

I can't wait to see if Osama beats Bush at Wrestlemania. And don't your dare tell me it's staged.

None of this is a surprise. Terror warning, not a surprise. Conspiracy theory, not a surprise. Bin Laden being "captured" before november? Also not a surprise.

Come on. Look at the lengths the Cliton administration went to hide a blowjob.. and that was in his second term.

Wasn't an Army Lt. quoted as saying that thought they would have Bin Laden capured by October?

You underestimate (greatly) the average intelligence and attention span of the American voter.

Godamn dude, your talking about "hipocrits" when you are more paranoid, going out of your way to interpret a SARCASTIC (good catch ave) statement i made showing Osamas devoution as an anti Bush statement)

Shit, it would be better for the Bush admin if Osama was captured dead (AQ already said they would prefer Bush to win over any other canidate). Although he is an asshole and stands for everything i stand against, he is a commited and respectable foe who would go out like Hitler not like a coward (saddam/ mussolini)

What the fuck are you talking about? A committed and respectable foe? Who gives a shit if he dies in blaze of glory or from tetanus in a ditch somewhere or stands trial for his crimes, I think you're focusing a bit too much on the means instead of the ends. We don't want him out there running free anymore, period.
