Administration accused of holding Bin Laden until Oct.?

[nini]

My mom said the news tonight said the admin is being accused of holding him and waiting until before the election to bring him out. I caught just a snippet at the end of a story where it showed Powell denying this.

Did anyone else see this? Is this first time it's made the news? (well, our news at least :eyes:

[proud patriot]

1. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

:wow:

[Goldom]

2. It's so likely,

it's sickening. The only reason I can imagine to think Bush&Co. wouldn't do it, is cause 50% of the country thinks we already caught him. >_<

[lancdem]

4. They're being challenged on it already

so they can't do it becaus the cat is out of the bag.

[nini]

8. That's what I was thinking..

if they try and do it now, then we can say we told ya so.

[absolutezero]

3. if this is true

and the media runs with it (the rating would be too high for them to ignore this) shrub, and hopefully the entire republican party will be royally screwed...

[Lone_Wolf]

5. A few months ago

Pakistani officials said Bin Laden was caught in the Tora Bora region. Then it was revealed that they "made a mistake."

[CharG]

6. Does anyone really believe they are beyond doing this?

Don't make the mistake of under estimating Karl Rove. Just think of this as poker.....there's the "diebold card", the Bin Laden card, and more dirty tricks cards we haven't even seen yet..........

[OneTwentyoNine]

28. No way is Rove and Bush beyond something like this....

Those fuckers care about no one but themselves and corporate America. They didn't have any problem letting 3,000 die and are going to hold their convention literally on top of the scene of death and misery.

It will be finding UBL,total mis-information about the Dem front runner and rigged up Diebold machines. These guys are way,way beyond trying to win on their merits,mainly because Bush doesn't have any to run on. Rigging is the only way,just like in 2004.

7. If this continues to get a little bit more attention, they won't be able

to do it, "irregardless" of what their plans were. I certainly wouldn't have put it past them.

I have always envisioned when they drop the balloons at the RNC convention, OBL will come down with them.

Hey! Look what we have here!

[ComerPerro]

9. It wouldn't suprise me at all

And, imagine if they were doing this and were exposed.

I would hope that it would completely ruin the party...

[Minstrel Boy]

10. There was a German report last week

which claimed he'd been captured. US officials denied.

[slack]

21. Yes, I read it

In N-TV, a german newschannel owned by CNN. There was a newsticker - Bin Laden captured - but no other sources. After a few minutes it was deleted.
But I'am sure, if they catch him, they wait until last election week.

[PVnRT]

11. It wouldn't surprise me, if true

The Republicans are known for this - anyone else remember the October Surprise in 1980?

[if it comes from the whitehouse it must be true]

12. Maybe not Bin Laden BUT

Watch for WMD's to pop up around the fall, I am betting on it.

[treeslive]

14. Now that would be a fools bet!

Anybody who doesn't thing that some sort of WMD won't be uncovered just before the election is living in a cave. There will also be lots of "experts" testifying as to the origin of said weapons. And anybody questioning the discovery will be branded as unpatriotic and part of the Hate America Crowd.

Sometimes the plot line gets a little too predictable.

[RapidCreek]

15. Most assuredly

After all Donald says they know where they are but can't tell....It' stands to reason then, if they know where they are that they put them there before the war. Since only they know where they put them then only they can "find" them and they'll "find" them when it is most convenient to do so.

I'd almost bet money on this scenario.

As for Bin Laden being "captured" at a beneficial time.....a guy who reads kiddy books while feigning ignorance about our country being under attack...and lies about it after he's called on it...isn't above anything. After all...if you ain't got a trifecta...you better make a trifecta.

13. Madeline Albright, of all people, suggested Shrub was doing this

I'd say that's a pretty credible person to be "guessing" about this.

[Kanary]

18. Do you have a reference for Albright's assertion?

I'd *love* to have that.

Thanks.

20. well let's see what Google does here .... ya ..... go ...

found a couple pretty easily

[populistmom]

16. Wow, this is HUGE

Too bad the corporate media will bury it. Hopefully, if it's true, information will get out somehow.

[shoopnyc123]

17. This is why...

the Dems MUST begin everything with, " Even if we were to capture Bin Laden", and take it from there...anyone want to finish that line?

[mykpart]

19. "Even if we were to capture Bin Laden

it wouldn't bring back the 500 who have died in Iraq."

it wouldn't bring back all the jobs that have been lost."

[Must_B_Free]

22. it wouldn't matter

It wouldn't answer any of the open question about the causes of 911.

It wouldn't prevent another Osama bin Laden from instigating another 911.

[Qanisqineq]

23. I heard they knew where Saddam was

a few months before they went to get him.

[dbt]

24. They knew where Saddam was, all along.

They know where bin Laden is and have known since Day One--or was it the Day Before?

They know where you and I are. They can read your license plate from any number of satellites (at least the ones we know about). They can read your email.

Of course they know where bin Laden is. He'll be trotted out at either the most politically advantageous moment or when they need a Big Distraction, just like it happened with Saddam.

And our troops will still be just as dead.

:grr:

(Welcome to DU,Tolania!)

[Qanisqineq]

30. Thanks for the welcome

It was pointed out to my husband, while driving by, the farm where Saddam was found... saying he was pissed to find out Saddam was picked up at that same spot months later is putting it mildly.

[BiggJawn]

25. Trick or Treat! Hallowe'en will be the day.

The Sheeple don't have a long enough attention span. everything they've done to boost Pretzel Boy's polls only lasts about 4 days. The kurds "give" us Saddam, the bounce was good for less than a week.

I say OBL will be "captured" on or about Hallowe'en...

[OneTwentyoNine]

27. Yeah,Halloween is a good time frame....

Sure as hell wouldn't want to er..."find" UBL in late Aug/early Sept. Bush might get a small bounce but be forgotten by Nov. Yeah, Oct 31st or maybe slightly before to give Chimpboy a solid couple of weeks on TV plus let Whore TV pimp it for all its worth.

If he doesn't show up by the election then its most likely he's dead.

26. Does this mean we get no more authentic videos or audios

from FAUX News or CNN or MSNBC?

Ronnie probably is on ice also!

[radwriter0555]

29. bin laden has been dead since December 2001. So this isn't possible..

unless they freeze dried his corpse.

[waywest]

31. Could Rove and Co. PROVE it's untrue?

If they can't, then it must be true.

[Kazak]

32. Is that likely to sway any votes though?

I mean, how transparent...people will see right through this ploy.
