Is this something that will go good with my corned beef and cabbage on St. Paddy's Day? An inquiring part-Irish lassie wants to know!Yes indeed!!! Being of about 75% Irish descent, I would say Harp goes with just about anything. Watching bin Laden in custody ala Saddam Hussein would be priceless!! It would certainly be time for a pint of Harp ... or Guinness!

"I feel confident that it will be sooner rather than later, although I'm not going to speculate on the exact date," [Ambassador J. Cofer Black] said.
Then, I'll speculate. No earlier than September 20 and no later than October 15. They already have a pretty good idea where he is and could have him in custody within a few weeks, if they were to make a major push into the area. But, the hype surrounding his capture would wear off before the election. Whenever possible, major victories, captures, etc., are always timed to coincide with elections (this has been true for both parties). Since it is possible in this case, I look for a major operation in the area to start up in late August or early September, with a view toward capture in early October. Since Dubya is not really doing anything serious to boost his poll numbers now, it's quite likely that he is rather certain of a major media coup before the election and this is made to order.
If I were a betting man, I would bet on an announcement around October10.

I just don't see how you can hide a six-foot-tall Ay-rab who needs kidney dialysis in a primitive rathole like Northern Fungoolistan for years on end without him croaking.
But maybe there's some way to smuggle a dialysis machine and a generator to run it and a doctor to operate it and all the filters and supplies, all in parts (except the doctor) (maybe) into the aforementioned rathole by goat/camel/yak/oxcart... Or something... that I just can't comprehend somehow...
Frankly I hope we never catch him, so we can go on killing rug pilots all over the Middle East forever while we "search" for him. (So many rug pilots... so little time...)
Also I don't want Al Quaeda to get demoralized and disband and go underground into disjoint ratholes where we can't find them, before we kill the lot of them, either, so we need to keep *them* thinking that the esteemed exalted almighty Sheikh (Goatfeces Be Unto Him) is still alive...

I hope bin Laden tries to escape when he is eventually captured. It'll save millions of dollars.

"I hope we catch him alive and get film of someone dousing him with the blood of a slaughtered pig. We can show THAT to all the Islamanics over and over and over,...."
Then can we take him to ground zero and cook him alive in a large kettle of pig fat or a pig greased wok?

As much as I'd like to see bin Laden hang for his crimes, it might be even better if he'd kill himself to avoid capture.
Either way, his carcass should be fed to the pigs.

I want him and his #2(perfect comparison) captured dead as hell! Mullah Omar likewise.
