I agree with you 100%. And my guess is that "the appropriate time" will be October 2004.
BTW, I knew bin Laden was dead when Rumsfeld made his first trip to visit the troops in Afghanistan. No way in hell a responsible President would put a cabinet member in a position like that unless he knew he was absolutely safe.
I feel this way too, however once the information is released then all the bleeding hearts will demand us out of the entire mid east and we will get a whole new wave of terror on our shores before Bush's 8 years are up.
It will be nice when he reveals it to us common folk.
I don't think he knows.
If he don't, why not?
