Bin Laden is Almost Caught Again
The US has been making big progress in the last two months.

I just thought this might give you all some feeling of relief. I just read this this morning on the News Blurps.

They are just sure that one day someone will catch him with his top people.

I wonder if he is still alive. No one has really reported seeing him for a couple of year's now. We see videos - but those could be faked. How could it be so hard to spot a 6 foot eight man dressed all in white?

1. And Pres. Scaredshitless "ALMOST" protected us on 9/11
AWOL had bin laden cornered but let him go because he needed to keep him out there as the "bogeyman" to keep americans scared and in line.

They will trot him out just in time for the election.. which will be VERY obvious to any of us who've been paying attention, that the entire thing was a big set up in planning for Nov. 2, 2004.

2. They might catch him
On the day Graham's book comes out, thereby knocking Graham's story into the ether.

4. We might catch Santa Claus, too
What if we do catch him? This stuff has spread so far and has splintered to the point where it probably won't make much difference. The attacks will still go on.

Look at those poor people in Russia? That just rips my heart out.

3. Almost only counts...
In horseshoes, quoits, handgrenades and the occasional tactical nuclear weapon.

My fantasies regarding mad, passionate monkey love with Angelina Jolie, when regarded in the light of your criteria, then allow me to say I almost boinked her, right?

8. Dems need to get in front of this
in case they let the capture be made public or take him off the ice. It's nice but too late. He should have been captured long ago, before Iraq. AlQaida no longer needs him they have reorganized and they have, thanks to * increased their membership. * let this happen by not going after him but Sadaam. Now he becomes a martyr for their cause. We had the goodwill in Arab countries now even moderates think we are evil.

9. A little out there but
Does anyone doubt that Bin Laden is the one responsible for 9-11? I have some serious reservations as to just who exactly was responsible. And before everyone decides to jump on the "you are a tin foil hatter" wagon I would truely like to have a link or any credible place to go read the "evidence" and "facts" presented publicly by the administration that Al Qaida was in fact responsible. And an interview with Rice or any of them saying it was so will not be sufficient. I mean REAL facts and evidence.

12. It's not 'tin foil'.
I wonder at those stories that claim bin Laden is really CIA and works for both the U.S. and the U.K. 9-11 was just too convenient for the Bushies and from hour one I suspected there was more to the attacks then we may ever know. The stories don't add up. Bush and the top advisors in his administration KNEW what was coming and did nothing. That much I do know. I hope one day the truth comes out, but for now, we can only speculate and know that the 'facts' do not add up to the story we've been sold.

17. I just watched
In Plane sight. And I have to admit, that concreted my suspicion even more. This DID NOT happen the way it was reported.

10. They will not catch him, EVAR...
....that area they are looking in is rather large and is notorious for centuries as being wild and just a bad ass place to be. Untamed.

11. I'm surprised Rove let the media leak this story.
Wouldn't the mention of bin Laden remind Americans of W's failure to capture him? Bush will never capture bin Laden because of his ties to the Saudi's. He probably had to promise the royal family that he wouldn't lay a hand on him because it would be disaster for them.

However, I'll bet on election eve our military will have 'bin Laden' and some of his 'top men' cornered in a cave somewhere in a 'stand-off'. By the time we get the election results, bin Laden will have escaped once again.

16. Iraqis would greet us as liberators too!
How many times did we almost get Saddam? Wasn't Iraq almost going to pay for its own reconstruction? Bush isn't patient about letting people know when about something that will score him political points. He exposed a Pakistani clandestine plan targeting Al queda militants so he could show progress.
