How long could a story that huge stay secret?
It has been 7 days since that post.

Something to keep in mind. Did anybody get even a whisper about Libya's sudden capitulation on WMD? And those secret negotiations had been going on between US/UK and Libya since March. Not one word of it was leaked. Nobody knew.

This can't be true...Mansoor Ijaz says Bin Laden is sipping coffee in an Iranian cafe while coordinating ...what was it 25 tanker trucks filled with chemicals for a attack on Iraq. Why are we looking in Pakistan?

Military 'Sure' of Catching Bin Laden This Year

The new strategy consists of wandering around the Tora Bora region and shouting "BRING OUT YER DEAD!"

If not for geopoliticalmil reasons in Pakistan re: Mush,
it would be after a Dem nominee is close to being anointed.

What better way to pull the rug out? And boost Tricky Mush at the same time.

I am sure of it too. It's time. And Bush deserves Bin Laden's head on a platter. He's earned that right.

"It has been 7 days since that post."

Save for Saddam, every time we nab a biggie, the news comes out about the snatch happening days and days before the snatch (think sleepless nights, Barney and Metallica, and conversations with specialists). Also, any delay can be attributed to positive ID via DNA and otherwise. Thus, methinks there will be delays. Lastly, for "security/operational" purposes, news can necessarily be delayed. As to OBL, methinks we got his general area, it is being watched and monitored and we are picking up cohorts until it is time to move. That or he's listening to Barney for some of the reasons noted above....

My idea with bin Laden would be to wait til New Years 2004....you know that place in NY City where the ball drops?

Skip the ball drop this year.....Set bin Laden on fire and let Rudy Guiliani toss him over the top as millions of New Yorkers cheer in the New Year!!!

I predict that it will be AFTER the election....why?....because look what happened to Bush's father. He WON the Gulf War so everyone thought it was SAFE to vote for a Democrat since we weren't at War anymore.
