A few months ago, I started a poll on my website about when Osama Bin Laden will be captured in relation to the US election.


TAKE THE POLL:

Bush is running out of time, but low and behold:

What's your opinion on this matter? I'm guessing Bin Laden will be caught in mid-October. Hmmm.

Yeah... notice how they found Saddam right when Bush's approval ratings were lowest? I think they might even know right where Osama is, and come October 30th or so, we'll get the big announcement that he's in captivity. And Bush gets four more years.

Either that or the electronic voting machines with no paper trail that are constructed by financial supporters of the Republican party will get him a win...

Anybody remember how he won the election without winning the popular vote last time?

Disgusting. Nothing since going into Iraq, and now, suddenly, right before the election, "we're getting close" to Bin Laden. It's like an efing teaser trailer. How is it that people continue to buy into this crap?

I'm writing a book: "Everything I needed to know about post 9/11 politics I learned in junior high." The RNC was a week long version of the jock sitting behind you coughing "loser" with all his pals laughing. And people respond by giving Bush a "double digit" lead. Cheney says, "We don't need a permission slip to defend the United States." Are we all twelve now? I can hear the new rhetoric now: "George Bush will not be sent to bed without any supper! He will not be grounded! He will go to the party on Friday night! He will borrow Dad's car! While John Kerrey stays home studying for a history exam! Our team is red hot, your team is doodly-squat!"

The capture of Bin Laden will be good news not only for the Bush administration, but fot the entire western world, and reluctantly, the whole world. If it comes before the election that's good, and if it comes after, that's also good. I don't think the timing is really under Bush's control.

I predicted a year ago that Bin Laden would be "captured" right before the election. If he's not already in custody, waiting to be trotted out the week before the election, that is.

It's already been made abundantly clear that Iraq had no WMDs, and the CIA admits Iraq had no part in September 11th. Yet 1,000 American soldiers and thousands of Iraqi innocents have died because Bush's puppet masters wanted Iraq's oil.

Despite that, most of America seems to blindly support Bush and Cheney, whose rampant jingoism would be laughable if everyone weren't taking it seriously.

I'm all for homeland security, but the war in Iraq is wrong, our men and women are dying over there for corporate blood money, and Bush is a tool of those selfsame corporations. He's got to go.

Kerry may prove to be no better, but at least there's a chance. Bush has proven to be bad for America and Americans. He sickens me.

Hey Succatash,

Could there be a much bigger story hiding here ?

I'd like to think we can remove Bush and tone down the insanity.

If the message in the video is true, then it's too late. We are doomed.

Hate to say it but Bush isn't really the problem...

Your countries foriegn policy from about Eisenhower on has been making enemies all over the place

Republican or Democrat they seem to want to control everyone elses business... and now instead of attacking the lackey US appointed dictator.. they are taking the fight back to America


Bush is only part of it, a bigger solution has to be found... and soon

Nice! I'd come across this information before but not in such a concise form. Thank you. At moments like this I get the feeling that the internet is gonna be the savior of us all. I think this is why there's been such a lock-down on conventional media in the past few years. Conservative forces and think tanks that have been hard at work protecting "free enterprise" from "liberal fascism" for the past 30 years have been laboring under a pre-internet model. With every passing day they must be feeling more and more screwed. So their only hope is to keep the heartland of America away from the internet and keep them watching fox news and reading USA Today. As long as they can keep the notion that "any wacko can put up a webpage" and use the term "conspiracy theory" to destroy the credibility of any information that falls outside their "mainstream" they figure they can maintain control. But it sure seems like just a matter of time before the internet matures into the primary source of news and information for people in this country.

Every time I read postings like these, I almost cry. I'm deeply grateful to read and learn from the informed, thoughtful, cogent, eloquent people who give a damn.
