Will they find Osama or WMD's in Iraq before the 2004 election?

Poll question: Will they find Osama or WMD's in Iraq before the 2004 election?

Some have a sneaky suspicion that the Bushies will miraculously "find" Osama and/or those elusive WMDs, sometime before the 2004 election, as a Rovian tactic to ensure victory for the Bush clan. What do you predict?

1. Of course you silly

this is the October surprise

2. The WMD charade has gone on too long

for a 'discovery' to have any credibility at this point, even with the American sheeple. More likely that Bin Laden mysteriously turns up around September-October 2004.

8. I think it is very probably

that the war on terrorism will continue minus Osama. Most people know that the terrorists (whatever they call themselves, I know it isn't Al-Qaeda) exist without a hierarchy. It's a series of groups who want to kill me and you and much of Europe due to our past and current imperial tendancies (yes, reading lurkers, they do not hate us for our freedoms).

I think Osama will be the surprise! Althought in an attempt to sway many of my coworked I've placed bets that he will be caught in September or October, since they don't listen to reason.

3. I don't know about Osama.

How much longer can the "war on terror" continue, if Osama (the boogeyman) is caught? This is the major reason why I doubt Osama will be caught in the next year.

4. They'll just invent another boogeyman, ala Saddam. nt

9. War On Terror is one of the Gifts That Keep On Giving

War on Terror
War on Drugs
War on Poverty
Et Cet Er A.

Catching Usama will have the same effect on the crusade that busting a Central American cocaine cartel would have on the War on Drugs. It would be touted as a reason to step up efforts, not slow them down.

5. Maybe the other way round...

"Will they find Osama or WMD's in Iraq before the 2004 election?"

6. WMDs will not be found in Iraq. Osama may be found in Afghanistan. (n/t)

[FDRrocks]

7. Okay

They found one man in a hole in Iraq. Before all this the talk was that Saddam booked from Iraq with all of his WMD in hand. That is obvious bullshit by now. If we find them, they were planted. I don't care if the general populous knows this, but I know this. This war was the biggest propaganda war ever. In history.

I predict Usama will be found in October or Sept, maybe even August.

I would bet 100 dollars on that. In fact, I truely that either, he is already dead from his kidney dea or already in custody.

10. I predict....

1) a low-fatality (10-20) domestic terror attack in early June
2) Patriot Act III in August, complete with a reprise of the Sedition act, to prop up Herr Aschkroft
3) Usama captured in early September
4) more "Democrats support the terrorists" head morphing during October
