Funny Thought: What if the FRENCH captured Osama?

[smirkymonkey]

How would the freaks in the Bush* Administration spin that one?

[malatesta1137]

1. they would announce it only on NOV 3

and GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!!

[KurtNYC]

2. It would prove they had "ties" and a "connection"

Of course.

Just like there was a connection to Saddam because "there was a connection."

3. Are you kidding? The French government first would refuse

to extradite OBL to the U.S. for a trial and would refuse to execute him even if the French were to convict him and sentence him.

[Jack from Charlotte]

18. I don't think they'd be allowed to extradite him here.......

Isn't against the law to extradite someone to a country that has the death penalty in a capital case?

The wing-nuts would go bat sh*t over that, wouldn't they?

[Kellanved]

4. this is quite a likely outcome

As the German-French Eurocorps has taken over command in Afghanistan, France has committed major funding and personnel to catch OBL.

[smirkymonkey]

7. Or Germany, for that matter....

Do you have more information on this? I would love to see the Europeans steal W's thunder.

[Kellanved]

14. no

Germany has pulled out it's Special Forces. The German Troops are under order not to do anything.

As to the French: I wasn't able to find the actual article, but I know that I've read it recently.


As to the command change, here:

5. I have been hoping...

that maybe some Pakistani farmer would shoot Osama, Al Jazeera would scoop the story and spread it all over the world before Bushco could claim to have any hand in it. Goodbye October surprise. Bush can't keep the world safe from Osama, but Pakistani turnip farmer Basaam Babi sure can!

6. They

do not have the nerve.

[XNASA]

8. Who doesn't have the nerve? The French? Or the Bushies?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. Hmmm.

[southpaw]

12. Freepy post!

:eyes:

[supernova]

9. Actually I hope the French do

catch OBL. it would serve Smirky right as badly as we've treated our good friends these last three years.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. They'd instantly and retroactively become the USA's Best Friends

And it would be spun like Bush himself arrested OBL personally.

[Blue-Jay]

13. O-Sammy's dead.

Think about it. He was the darling of the "Terrorist Video Club" for a long time. Since the Tora Bora bombing, he's not made a single video appearance.

If wasn't killed at Tora Bora, he's since passed. He's too much of a whore to have passed up the opportunity to laugh at the * administration.

17. I always thought it would be funny if Pakistan caught him and turned him

over to the french or the russians. Or the chicoms.
