Which day will Osama bin Laden be caught?

Poll question: Which day will Osama bin Laden be caught?

I believe in the Bush October Surprise.
I believe they will announce that they have captured Osama as a part of it and they may already have him in custody.

On which date do you think the Capture of Osama bin Laden will be announced?

1. depends on if they can reanimate the dead body

so it can move around a bit before its executed by firing squad live on fox news.

2. Oct. 13 for sure, my gut tells me

Isn't the Phoenix debate that day? Anyway it gives him more than 2 weeks to absorb a good bounce from it.

3. Its too late now

I've said for over a year that if they don't pull him out of the hat by the time their Convention is over it isn't going to happen before the election.

5. Why before the convention and not closer to the elections?

Wasn't the convention supposed to bring its own bounce which would be fading before the election? This would be the ultimate bounce. The timing would be close enough to the election so the forgetful sheeple would still be singing praises to Bush.

Spreading the word that Kerry would ban the bible is supposed to help shore up the base.
Capturing Osama would be the coup to gather the swing voters on his side. It would reinforce their message that Bush would keep us safer.

4. Musharraf wants Bush out

Musharraf was less enthusiastic in his support for the U.S. war in Iraq, saying the world is less safe in the wake of the invasion.

But the Pakistani president stopped short of calling the invasion a mistake, saying, "I would say that it has ended up bringing more trouble to the world."

"I think the visibility of any foreign troops ... is not at all welcome in Iraq. Nobody likes foreign troops," Musharraf told Newsweek magazine in an interview released Saturday.

"The answer lies not in bringing in more foreign troops but in raising the army in Iraq itself so it can take over security. Everything should lead to an exit strategy."

Earlier, he told CNN the war in Iraq had "certainly not" made the world a safer place.

"No, it's more dangerous," he said in the Friday interview. "It has aroused actions of the Muslims more. It's aroused certain sentiments of the Muslim world, and then the responses, the latest phenomena of explosives, more frequent for bombs and suicide bombings.

"This phenomenon is extremely dangerous," said Musharraf, adding the war "has ended up bringing more trouble to the world."

7. I think it would be hilarious is Pakistan caught OBL and turned him over

to the UN or the World Court. Even funnier would be if Russian troops somehow got a hold of him.

6. Reagan has already trademarked the October Surprise (c), so it

will have to be in the next week or on November 1.

8. I used to think it would be Osama...but then I thought...

Osama and Bush cooked up 9/11. the Shrub is not going to ruin a partnership that has garnered him unimaginable power as long as Osama is "out there".

They could still defrost Osama between now and the elections, but I think the REAL trifecta is going to be dropping multiple MOABs or "bunker buster" nukes on Iran and Syria simultaneously.

I honestly think that's the reason there are 7 MOABs that we offloaded into Iraq after "mission accomplished". You don't bother to transport such a cargo with no intention of using it.

9. The weekend before the election get shrub 2 things

The Sunday morning talk shows.
The pulpit, all praise for the capture.
No chance to repute the claim.
