Media readying us for October Surprise...Usama

[Atman]

CNN is all over this. After being a willing dupe to Bushler's "major policy announcement" yesterday (even though they were LIED to by Bush, they're giving the "address" lots of airtime as if it really were a policy address), today they are talking about the Oct Surprise. Of course, that surprise, they think, would be Usama, effectively cutting the legs out from under Kerry's argument against Bush. BUT -- and here it the interesting angle they're using -- they keep framing such a capture as "beyond the control of the campaigns." They want to make sure we know that when Bush drags him out on display, it will be after some brave soldier found him, not because Bush had anything to do with it.

Get ready. We're being played once again. Personally, I think this will blow up in their faces BIG TIME...America doesn't trust a word the man says anymore. This will be simply too convenient to believe.

1. Not beyond the control of the President

he directs the military's objectives. If he says get Osama now then they have to at least try.

2. Is it not at least possible...

...that some soldier, so ordered, would leak it to the press that they were ordered now, as opposed to, say, 2 years ago?

3. Yes, now?

Instead of two years ago? Would this kind of terribly obvious ploy really play? You'd think that if Osama were trotted out now the biggest question would be "why not 2 years ago?"

4. There is one thing I have learned about these slimy people

..they commit murder, so to speak, in broad daylight so that it is so obvious no one dares suspect them. The media obeys and shoots down those partisan "conspiracy nuts" and this really dumb public who is use to things coming to a conclusion in a half hour tv program, swallow it all. This is how they operate. Their whole reign has been a series of "lovely coincidences". I want to point out the last released tape of Osama just a week ago. Suddenly he was telling people to fight on if he is captured or killed. Either he knows they are sitting right outside his door and will come right before this election; or he is in captivity and is being told what to say as the US distributes these tapes. Something is up. I hope it's just hype to make the base think that Bush has never stopped searching for the Evil Doer.

5. Faux news suggesting an Osama find would be unbelievable

Just last night. Reporting that such an October surprise would backfire because America is a bit to sophisticated these days for such blatant manipulation, thanks to the media (yeah...I know...lol).

6. If Bin Laden is found before Nov 2 , Bush wins.

No doubt about it.

8. "beyond the control of the campaigns."

just yesterday a thread was talking this. i said they cant do obl because people will be disgusted at the obvious game, and to play a game with a man that has killed three thousand americans is.............simply disgusting even for bushco cult like people.

this morning listening to cnn, i absolutely clearly heard the beyond both campaigns like, capture of obl and it was wtf..............yes. they are conditioning for the pick up of obl. bushco knows he cant just do it. he needs the people to be worked first. these people are disgusting
