The media is reporting that after 2 1/2 years in Afghanistan, we're closing in on Osama bin Laden. Some people, however, believe that the U.S. has known the location of Bin Laden for a while now. Some world news reports claim Bin Laden has already been arrested.

It's hard to believe what is true these days.

What's your prediction?

Will Bin Laden be captured BEFORE or AFTER the 2004 Presidential Election?

I just started a poll on the home page of my Strangefinger website:

Does anyone think the Bush Admin. is waiting for the right time to "Find Bin Laden" in order to help his presidential campaign?

I think that he will be found after the election. Not due to any predetermined action by Bush... but it's not inconceivable.

It's difficult to trust the US government.

Searching the web, I've found lots of contrasting information.

I found this website interesting: http://www.mindspace.org/liberation-news-service/archives/000589.html

But Shahed, who is The Nation's Peshawar bureau chief and not its editor, denied telling Iranian radio that bin Laden had been captured.

"I never said this," Shahed said in a telephone interview with AP's Islamabad bureau. "But I have for the last year been saying that he is not far away. He is within their (the Americans') reach, and they can declare him arrested any time."

It sure is impossible to know the truth, everyone has an agenda.

Come on, take the poll!

I think you need another option in your poll. It is possible bin Laden is already dead.

Good point. I slightly changed the question and reset the poll.

As far as Bin Laden is concerned, anything is possible.

I do not trust the federal gov't, and I trust politicians less than the gov't. Too many agendas and too much smoke & mirrors to ever get the truth.

Do I think it possible that the Bush Admin, or some elements of the admin might wait until the right moment to reveal the capture of Bin Laden in order to assist in Bush's re-election, sure do. Other presidents have shown that they are not above manipulation of fact to stay in office.

I can tell you that noone in Afghanistan below the rank of Colonel has any idea.

The only thing they tell us when we go on our missions is that we are in pursuit of "HVTs" or "High Value Targets"

Exactly WHO those high value targets are or how high their value is. . .we don't know.

I wish I could offer more insight, but I'm a mushroom.

They keep me in the dark and feed me bullshit.

You know if Bin Laden didn't turn up just in time for election to give Bush that extra election push I'd be suprised.

But you do know this belongs in "Talk Story" wich says discuss anything you want here. All political threads belong in "Talk Story"

THIS IS NOT MINE!!! I just don't want anyone to think I'm stealing their idea, 'cause I'm not. I read this somewhere once-upon-a-time, can't remember where/when, that Osama's probably serving drinks as a cross-dresser in a gay bar in Las Vegas.

Oh yeah - count me in on the 'shroom crew.
