Will the Bush administration pull an Osama out of their hats in time of the election? Personally I think if they did try that trick it wouldn't go over so well with the American public. Because pulling an Osama out of the hat when the elections are a few days away will seem fishy even to people like Rush Limbaugh. Plus you'd have to make up a timeline leading up to his "capture"

Whaddaya mean, 'pull an Osama?' :confused:

Yeah, not to mention, after all this time, it'll be a bit of an anticlimax.

I was thinking about Osama-election type things . . .

Yes, no, maybe, I don't know can you repeat the question?

There's a conspiracy theory floating around that we captured Osama a long time ago, but didn't make it public. They were saving him for an election ploy to use at the last minute to get votes.

According to the theory, 2-3 days before the election that'll say that "we captured him yesterday, here's video. We have him now! We weren't asleep at the wheel. Vote for us!"

*shrug* That's the theory anyways....

Very fishy indeed :mad:

Interesting. If that did happen, I'd have mixed feelings.

Happiness that the dirtyrottensumbitch was captured, disgust that the shrub resorted to such a filthy tactic.

Man it would be funny though if they did try to pull an Osama (out of the hat) and it completely backfire on them. Thus giving Kerry a landslide victory.

That would be nice,very nice :p

I often thought the same thing...

I can see Kerry's face when that happens.. LOL :headbang:

I will laugh when they find out that Osama voted in the elections...

EDIT: In the Afghan elections.

I would laugh if they found him right under there nose,conducting ops in Iraq

I would laugh if hes been hiding out under Bush's bed. :p

There's no way in hell that would happen. If they had Osama, they would have unveiled him the moment they got him.

or in cheny's closet!

But really...probably what happen is like in December 2001, some Democrat captured Osama, shipped him off to a prison in Russia or something...and if Kerry wins in November, that soldier will drag Osama out around February or so...

not if the media had 'live coverage' of a high speed chase through the streets of tehran that interrupted prime-time sitcoms

Nah...if it happened during Friends or something, they'd put the coverage down in a little box in the corner...

If you account all the sneakny things bushes regime has commited this is the most likely

Soon...soon very soon, right before November 02. It is his only chance to beat Kerry…
:eek:

Granted, but there's no way a person of even mediocre intelligence could fail to see the convenience of unveiling Osama 2 weeks before the election. It would be the most obvious political prank in history. Not even Bill Oreilly could fail to see it. It would ruin the Bush ticket and send Kerry to a landslide victory.

Knowing this, the Bush administration would unveil Osama the moment they capture him, for fear of word leaking out. However, there probably is increased pressure to find him quickly by the Bush administration, however, they don't have him yet.

Hardly. Kerry would destroy Bush if the Republicans resorted to something like that.

Bush's only chance to beat Kerry comes from the usual family values, small government (except when we need big government), latent homophobia, and redneck appeal that sent Bush to the white house 4 years ago. Kerry is not really in the lead at the moment. :(

Indeed it would be fishy! and i agree with you, but somehow I can't shake the feeling it could happen simpley cause I don't trust u.s. gov, further more they may truly think they could pull the wool over everyones eyes, but we are to smart for that.

Why would they?

Bin Laden the Martyr would be a bad thing.

I once saw an interview of an SAS operative(blacked out of course) and they asked him about Bin Laden being alive or dead. He said he didn't know but pointed out that it's kind of hard to martyr somebody if there is nobody to report what happened and there is no body.

I disagree. I think that a lot of thier work as of late has been to train a kneejerk reaction, a sort of cynasism to the cynasism about under handed things, to react to people suspicsious of them as looney or suspicsious themselves. I think that anyone who pointed out in the three days leading up to the election that Osama's capture was a little 'convinient' would be shouted down as a partisan conspiracy theorist. Three or four days is like some sort of national waiting period on skeptisism

for some reason.

I tend to agree with you on this issue.

If they did it would be sheer idiocy. It would backfire on them. Yeah like anyone's gonna believe THAT magnificent coinkydink

They would have done it by now, I think.

Maybe they think it's better to keep us scared than to deliver Osama, do you think? Even if he was in custody right now, DUmbya might get more votes based on fear (that's all he's got to run on after all. jobs? Nope, net loss, worst in history. Prosperity? Don't make me laugh. Even the stock market is sinking. Education? "The Left behind" program is broken promises and nonperformance. Peace, stability? No chance. Ethics? Who ordered the tortures? Why can't we have a senate invrestigation to trace the authorization for the "contractors", their authority, and their orders?) than on anything else.

Maybe if we had Osama and knew it people would be less afraid and vote with their minds instead of their sphincters.
