1. 9/11=OBL=Iraq
I believe it is an attempt to connect 9/11/OBL and Iraq yet again. Gotta keep those murkins thinking Iraq is really "the war on terra".

2. Charles Grassley alluded to it a few months ago
when he said, "It's obvious we're going to get bin Laden before the election".

3. WE ARE BEING "CONDITIONED"
Like, have you noticed the headlines the past two days about Osama's "Number Two is surrounded?"

Yeah, Osama's "Number Two" alright. As in..this story is COMPLETE HORSE SH%T!

It's been dominating CNN the last day or so, and on my Netscape startup screen that not
only are they "hunting down Osama," but they've got his "second in command" nearly
captured!"

"Thousands of Pakistani army reinforcements joined a major offensive Friday in tribal
border villages where al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, is believed
surrounded..."

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=516&e=1&u=/ap/20040319/
ap_on_re_as/pakistan_al_qaida_hunt

And from CNN:

ROBINSON: BIN LADEN AIDE LIKELY WOULD FIGHT TO THE DEATH
Thursday, March 18, 2004 Posted: 8:55 PM EST (0155 GMT)

(CNN) -- Pakistani forces have surrounded a man they believe is Ayman al-Zawahiri, al
Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Pakistani government sources said. More than 200 al Qaeda fighters
are trying to prevent his capture, the sources said.

Yeah, "Fight to the death," as in, they already had this guy in custody TWO YEARS AGO!
"Fight to the death," so they can wheel out his corpse after thawing it out. LIKE OSAMA'S
(still to come!). They are scripting this thing just like a movie. "Wag the Dog." Again, if it
hasn't sunk in, everyone.

THE WAR ON TERROR IS A COMPLETE HOAX. (to cover up for grabbing everybody else's
oil)

Gee, Isn't this the SAME Ayman al-Zawahiri that WAS ALREADY ARRESTED over 2 years
ago? They're counting on us to NOT remember. Notice the date
on this article from the UK GUARDIAN of TWO YEARS AGO!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,1284,652071,00.html

Bin Laden's No 2 'captured in Iran'
Rory McCarthy in Islamabad and Luke Harding in Kabul
Monday February 18, 2002
The Guardian

"" Osama bin Laden's most senior lieutenant, the Egyptian militant Ayman al-Zawahiri, has
been captured and jailed in Tehran, a leading Iranian newspaper reported yesterday.

Zawahiri, the founder of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, was arrested several days ago and has
been imprisoned in the city's Evin jail, where political prisoners are usually held, the
Hayat-e-Nou newspaper said.

If the report is correct, the arrest is the most serious strike at the heart of Bin Laden's al-
Qaida network since the World Trade Centre attacks, and a diplomatic coup for Tehran. ""

Well, I mean, after all, it's not like The Bush Cartel has lied to us, right? I mean, all those
LIES and FABRICATIONS about the Iraqi War, well, how can you say that? You're just
"unpatriotic," and "hateful" and "a conspiracy theorist" if you think Bush has LIED to us
about the Iraq War or the War on Terror!

Right?

We are being "PREPARED' and stroked to accept the "Official Capture" of Osama.

Watch how this "Number Two" story unfolds. It's a template for how they're gonna "get Osama."

5. Tired of the "no cigar" reports.
We've got him surrounded.

We've almost got him.

We've got his second in command... we think.

We're closing in.

Bla, bla, bla!!

I ignore all these "almost/sorta" reports.

Even if we do get him, it will have the same result as catching Saddam:
Nothing or worse.

S#$T or get off the pot.

As Rummy would say: "Mm-hmm. It - my view of - of the situation was that he - he had - we - we believe, the best intelligence that we had and other countries had and that - that we believed and we still do not know - we will know."

10. To hide the fact that there are a couple dozen investigations into
possible treason of the Bush administration. Americans are still suckered into the OBL thing, so they can keep their addled brains away from what's really important by shouting "Look! A "terrorist"! every few minutes. Same scam they've been using for decades. Used to be "Look! A communist" Purely a distraction technique.

12. The administration is leaking plans to hunt Osama to the media
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 11:25 AM by jpgray
What are their reasons for doing this? We can guess.

edit: It also shows how obedient the media are, reporting anything the administration vomits up at them.
