Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.

War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.

War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.

-GEORGE ORWELL

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

-H. L. Mencken

The Obama campaign needs to get ahead of this story *now*. For example, get the buzz out in the media on why the Bush Admin has waited until Sep/Oct 2008 to do this? Why have we wasted the last six years not chasing OBL like this? Also point back to Obama’s own, ridiculed position last year where he said he would chase OBL and AQ into Pakistan if that’s where they were.

Reacting to this after the fast will be impossible. Getting ahead of it is the only way to keep this from being a nightmare.

Yeah! Well by the time this capture of Bin Laden is done, I have lost my house and my job. Throw in outrageous gas prices and real $hitty economy getting worse and worse by the minute.

A delayed capture of Bin Laden taking place sometime before Nov. elections would be so obvious. It could also be staged.

It’ll take more than that to lure people to vote republican. GW has screwed up so royally these last 8yrs it’ll take way much more to clean up his mess.

Ok, small bit of personal info, I do special effects for movies and commercials for a living for 24 years, you can easily mock up a fake video of old OBL, too easy, little makeup here, little makeup there, some room some where and preso, you have OBL…no biggy, any amature with half a brain could do it.

Guys, this Mafia Government we have now, will just kill off any person who looks like him and say they got him.

It’s not like they have a proven record of being honest or anything.

Duh!

sort of like Hitler, Jesus, and/or George Washington? Irrelevant and symbolic?

One possible reason why Bin Ladin wasn’t snatched long ago is probably that nobody wants to make him a martyr.
And besides that, he’s rather irrelevant today, rather a symbolic figure than someone who’s really in charge of an organization.
AQ is no organization any more, it’s the brand of a movement.

Bin Laden capture could be ‘the September or the October surprise.

That might have been effective a few years ago but today everyone’s more worried about making their paychecks meet, or even getting a paycheck, to care about bin-Laden.

So, just like poachers the Bush administration would tie Bin Laden to a tree waiting for the right time to shoot him.

Poachers and Bush are equally hideous.

I call bullsh#te all this whole “magic killing technology thing” the pentagon is touting. it see it as a cover for a massive, multimillion dollar terrorist bribery campaign, and most likely some good, old fashioned, reagan era “central america” style human rights violating death squads.

im sure the pentagon has plenty of new toys thier playing around with, but to somehow chalk the relative (VERY relative)current stability in iraq up to anythign more than genuine old fashioned bribery and brutality is a mistake..
