That would be beyond belief it they actually captured OBL.

OTOH, the Dems would scream that this was all a set-up to secure a GOP majority in Congress.

Known doesn't mean that well known.
Could be some senior people with Taliban head Omar.

But this news is always welcome. Sounds like a perfectly executed operation.

Nice going guys!

[Cyclopean Squid]

I would be tempted to believe them. But there's no way they'd keep the identity under wraps if this were OBL--something like that would leak right away.

Wouldn't it be ironic if we captured OBL today or tomorrow - we'd almost have to hold the news until after the election to avoid the clamor

[Prost1]

OBL - most likely pushing up daisies.

Ayman al-Zawahiri - he is the real brains.

[Brilliant]

They wouldn't announce it until after the election in order to stifle the conspiracy theorists.

They will accuse this report as a Rove scheme to "raise hopes" and sway the election!!! Pathetic panzies.

[Lucky9teen]

It would be great and who cares WHAT the dems think and even if it was planned!!!

[kevinm13]

OBL needs to be beheaded and that needs to be all the news on election day. Unfortunately the news of this terrorist won't really be shared until after the election.

So? They're the ones making a big deal out of not getting Bin Laden. We could just hand him over as an election gift and put smiles on their faces for election day.

It would be just like Bush to hold off the announcement until the polls close. Not that the Dems would give him credit, the Delusional Party would still be shreiking "what took so long?" and "Bush delayed the announcement so he would look magnanimous!"

I doubt this is OBL, but then again, if it were, the President would endeavor to keep it under wraps until Wednesday for this exact reason.

[antiunion person]

An October surprise in November. The Dems would have heart attacks and scream it was planned. Karl Rove is my hero if this comes true.

Are you kidding? Madelyn Not-so-bright has been trumpeting for years that the 'Pubbies have had OBL captured and held at a secret location....just waiting to spring the ultimate GOTCHA! on the poor unsuspecting Rat Party and an even more "gullible" electorate.
