There are reports on Belgian radio that Osama Bin Laden got surrounded in Pakistan and will be tracked down in the following hours/days. Any confirmation about this? Sure would be good news.

    This was reported yesterday and I almost linked to it, but I figured we'd wait until something more concrete.

    And it will all be due to the fortitude and courage of John Kerry.

    so after the Republican's bitched about the moveon.org contest and hitler references... this is ok?... har har... fecking hypocrits.



    A vote against Bush is a vote for terrorism???



    But should we be surprised that this kinda stuff would come from chickenhawk freepers?



    Remember...



    Kerry (3 Purple Hearts, 2 Bronze Stars and 1 Silver Cross)



    Bush (Community service for some undisclosed reason)

    What does that have to do with the topic?



    PS: I'll believe it when I see it, and no sooner. I just assume it's not true. I'd be more than happy to be wrong of course.

    Isn't Osama part of this topic?



    Aren't politics part of this topic?

    Seems like a derailment to me, personally. And "politics" is way too broad an area to take as a topic or direction. It would be nice if we had different threads instead of repeating ourselves ad nauseum in threads that gravitate to the same 2 or 3 issues. I thought the thread was about rumors of Osama's capture, not about neocon politics per se. Obviously, they do overlap, but the link just seems like it comes from left (or right) field with regard to the original post. now, that's just my opinion, not AO "policy" or policing.

    Well as far as Bush is perhaps waiting fo the best politcal moment to go in and actually grab Osama.



    I thought an Osama topic would be the right place to bring up the freeper crazies... I guess they may just be too easy a target. hehe

    Bush will have Osama and Saddam brought over to the USA as invited guests for his re-election bash.



    Shortly afterwards...a lone gunman on a grassy knoll using another one of those magic bullets will....



    hmmm..sounds awfully familiar...

    ...



    That certainly is as tasteless as moveon.org but the free republic isn't run by the RNC. I'm sure you can see the difference.

    Here's another, less hopeful, article.

    Military background a good leader does not make.



    Remember folks, Kerry's political idol, JFK, had a much vaunted war record, yet he proceeded to get us mired in the Vietnam conflict.

    According to CNN, Mi5 is expanding by 50%. I don't think the intelligence agencies will be in a hurry to reveal the truth even if they have already captured Osama. They seem to be making sure that they get maximum mileage out of this mess.

    MoveOn did not create the ads and MoveOn is not connected in any way to the DNC.



    But the Republican's did morph photos of Max Cleland and Osama in the Senate Race of 2002. So It's not surprising that Freepers would do the same thing with Kerry.



    And apparently being in the TANG doesn't make you Presidential material either. Not even being president proves you can actually do the job. Bush proves that.



    There's been plenty of press reports recently saying that special forces beleive that they have Osama cornered and are just waiting for the orders to go in and get him.

    Or you could just start a pertinent thread...



    Anyway, I'm skeptical that they have him surrounded or already in custody. Something of that magnitude would be awfully hard to keep a lid on, though admittedly not impossible.
