If this is true and the other events that I think will unwrap between now and the flushing of Saddamn, the Rats will have an overdose of your great acronymn: STFU! It is indeed great news. I have only one concern to temper my enthusiasm. The general public, still somewhat lacking in understanding the threat of Saddam remaining in power, may look upon the capture of Bin Laden, himself, if it happens, as a culmination to 9/11.
I can picture the liberal media, framing the public thoughts as: Well we got HIM, now what is this war with THE OTHER GUY ABOUT?
I am sorry to say, that after watching the pass that Clinton was given, the general public has fallen in my esteem to waive off the poor calls by the media. If Osama is captured, I hope it is later.
I really think that Osama became cave temp (his bits and pieces) in December 2001.
So catching him is not really relevant.
However, you are right. If we did capture him, the left wingers from Da$$hole to Osama Mamma Murray would be crying stop the slaughter of the innocent Iraqis and Iranians. We got the bad guy!
Also, 60 to 70% of Americans want GW to eliminate the Axis of Evil. They know that OBL was just a part of the terrorist problem. The other 30% hates America and cheered when 9/11 happened in the privacy of their closets.
I have a feeling that his sons have been splicing and taping his words to make him appear to be alive.
