1. Earlier this year, our military announced that they were "sure" they would capture OBL by the end of the year.
2. It's an election year, and Bush would benefit greatly from the capture of OBL, but it's not yet time to tip his hand. Like the October Surprise. Also, I think if we did have him, we would keep it quiet while the terror threat was high. We could have some serious terrorism problems if the world knows we got him. Kind of a last ditch effort to retain credibility and relevance.
3. Now we are getting reports that we have him surrounded in Pakistan, and it's only a matter of time before we swoop in on Blackhawks and grab him??? Very strange story, if you ask me.
4. Reports of media converging in Pakistan for a huge event. The same country where OBL is supposedly holed up in a cave.
I'm sure I've missed some pieces, but you get my point. All the news sounds way too convenient.
