What IF Bin Laden IS dead, but the ShrubHouse says otherwise....
Just some thoughts.

Just suppose Bin Laden IS dead. We have NO concrete proof he is dead or alive. He (reportedly) required dialysis weekly for the past few years. If he's hiding out in the wilderness of Pakistan, how is he surviving?


Consider this.IF Washington KNOWS Bin Laden is dead, and tells the world, what happens to the "Crusade against the Evil Dooers"? What happens to the Dept. of Homeland InSecurity? What happens to the NeoCons' plans for World Domination without a "target".

Two trains of thought here.

1)The ShrubHouse knows he's dead, but need him "alive" to carry on the Crusade.

2)The ShrubHouse KNOWS he's alive, and want to keep it that way (nod nod, wink wink).


Just some conspiracy thoughts I wanted to run by the board.

1. Interesting idea but I think you are giving the WH much more credit
than they deserve. I don't think they care one way or the other because they will spin the information to their advantage and the people will buy it (Whatever "it" is at that moment.)

2. Who cares? These terror groups have all split and reformed.
We used to know something about where they were and now they are all over the world and you can bet for every big wig they got 10 have moved in and taken their place. With the birth rate in that part of the world they will never lack another young man to do things, and they are with out jobs and they fell we are to blame. This is just a start of years and years of this stuff, Anyone that thinks we can stop it with tanks and guns are nuts, and if you do not believe me look at history on this stuff.

3. I believe he is alive...
Edited on Sun Oct-19-03 10:59 PM by FDRrocks
I don't think he is in bed with the idiot son of an asshole and his buddies, however intelligence was filed away prior to 9/11 and it was basically allowed to happen.

Like I say, I think he is alive, but if he magically turned up riddled with bullets on ABCNNBCBS in Oct 04'... I would think he was captured before then. Same goes for Joseph Stalin look alike contest winner S. Hussein.

5. Chances are
They will reveal that he is dead (with or without evidence, it won't matter) just as the election season gets heated up. As for the continuing crusaide, they will just say that we need to stop all terrorism and our battle won't be easy, blah blah blah terror.
They will be re-elected, and then it won't matter, because the Dems will be so discredited (due to the "capture" of Osama and to forged documents which "prove" Iraq's WMD) that the Republicans will completely control everything.

Then, there will never be an election in this country again.

If anyone speaks out, they will be labled a terrorist.

If too many people lose faith, there will be a terrorist attack.

7. they need him to be alive.
they need a cartoon boogeyman and next to some north korean whose name noone can remember, Osama is the best cartoon boogeyman in the world. They paid a fortune to create him. Now they need him alive so they can tropt him out whenever the true Murkan zeal for revenge starts to dim.

8. One thing is for certain:
Be they dead or alive, the Regime knows exactly where bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are. These people are simply too valuable to the BFEE to be allowed to disappear.

An October ('04) Surprise scenario would feature one or both of the Bad Guys being frog marched into a cage at Guantanamo or having a (previously-refrigerated) corpse shown 24/7 on the Whore Nets, a la Uday and Qusay.
