2. Bush has already said.....................
Bin Laden is not all that important, that terrorists in general are the problem. But watch them flip-flop on that when the Pakis trot his iced a-- out. I suspect they have had him for months, waiting for the right timing.

3. Small boost
But a small boost could be enough to put Bush over.

You give him another term, and he will take that as a mandate for more wars.

4. Nothing but my opinion,
but I think he would get a major boost.

There is still alot of pent up frustration out there.

And rolling him out and parading him around would pretty much make it impossible for Kerry to get any sort of message out.

It will be all people will talk about.

Even for me it would be hard to focus on much else, at least for awhile.

Not that I would change my vote or even give *Bush any credit after the way they blew Afghanistan.

But I think Bin Laden would be on 24/7 for months, maybe even years if he is taken alive and subject to the legal system.

5. I'm afriad
It would be a huge boost. People would see it as "leadership" and success.
