Osama bin Laden Capture/Kill Pool -- please, no wagering
Edited on Thu Mar-04-04 06:23 PM by Paragon
How it works:

Lay out a calendar with dates from now until the election, each DUer gets to pick ONE day. Whoever picks the correct date that Bush unveils his March/April/May/June/July/August/September/October Surprise, "wins".

Your choice..?

5. Maybe...
I think that it will be more like 3 days to give the Kerry campaign minimal time to recover while faux, et al do 24/7 fawning.

6. bin laden has been dead since December 2001.
Anyone who thinks otherwise isn't paying attention. No offense of course.

9. I tend to agree
Have we seen anything to prove otherwise since then? I think he was incinerated by a daisy cutter bomb, and they couldn't even find remains for DNA analysis.

10. Just be contrarian
They won't "find" Osama before the election.

How else can lug nuts like Tom Cole claim "A Kerry victory would be a victory for Osama" if Osama is dead or captured?

18. Scary thought
Maybe they won't catch OBL
Maybe he'll escape in September
Maybe there will be another terrorist attack
Maybe there's too much infromation out now to keep the sheep in line...

19. 7-8 days before the RNC Convention whenever that is
Bush lives in a bubble, he'll want to bask in the glory of the capture in NYC surrounded by a bunch of REPtiles.
