I have to believe that the public is prepared for any sort of military "October surprise." We've done a pretty good job of making ourselves paranoid over the last 50 years or so, and a magical capture of Bin Laden on October 23 would strike a lot of people as more than a bit suspicious.


This quote (taken from another thread obviously) got me thinking. How bout we have a sweepstake on the exact date that Osama's 'capture' is revealed?

Place bets now!

Some claim he's already dead, some claim he lost the ability to communicate with his followers... indicates that he might have already been captured or killed. Chances are, seeing the developments in the US in the last 4 years based on deception, lies, secrecy and elitist policies, I'd not be surprised if Osama suddenly shows up on the US TV screens as the grand present of Bush to his peons.

Hence the betting on what day it will happen :D

My bet would have to be sometime in the week leading up to election day. Enough time to get the word out, and to get initial good reactions, without too much time for rational thought or debate.

October 31st...

That would be just so cool.

I can only hope the computer that's morphing Bin Laden's face breaks into a Max Headroom-ish stutter in the middle of the "capture video."

lol.. if that did happen, it sure would blow holes in lefties theories that Bush has simply forgotten about OBL. :D

well he did--until it became politically necessary to remember him again

they're still waiting for the plastic surgery on their lookalike to heal. ;)

I reckon he's hiding in Antwerp. No, I don't have proof, I just like saying 'Antwerp'.

I don't blame you. It's a cool word. :D

Maybe Osama really just doesn't matter anymore?

People don't remember 9/11. They confuse it with Iraq.

Anyhow, Bush made a mistake bringing out Saddam so early. :p

C'mon people, have a go :D

October 24th (for my birthday, 'I want an Osama Bin Laden mom!' :D)

After the first debate Bush loses.. LOL

Seriously. umm I'll guess Oct 11th. (It's a Monday)

annnnnnnnd Free Soviets ruins it by showing that my idea's already been thought of. Shitty.

Keep placing bets. Please :D

November 1st, All Saints Day. Then Georgie can pretend to be a Medieval Knight too and be nominated for sainthood and all sorts of other pseudo-Christian savior-fantasy things. God talks to him, you know...

Bush makes me ill.
