Bush* has no intention of capturing/killing Osama Bin Laden.
Surprised? Me too. I have been thinking about this for awhile, and it is pure conjecture, but I now think * doesn't want to capture/kill OBL.

The question is why? Well, the Bushes have had a 30-year relationship w/ the Saudi Royal Family. There were many visits back and forth between these two families. (Refer to Fahrenheit 911).

And although OBL is an "outcast" from the family, he was invited and appeared at a family wedding in Saudi Arabia even when he was on the run. "Blood is thicker than water."

* doesn't want to get the Saudis upset, bec of all the $ invested in the US and many other things...oil etc.

We had a chance to catch OBL in Tora Bora and what did we do? We sent warlords into the mountains to "get" him, when at the same time we had the best of the best (Navy Seals, Special Forces etc) to get him. We didn't. OBL got away.

I really wonder whether he is in Saudi Arabia. To me, that would be the safest place to be.

What do you think?

1. Could be
It also would lead people to believe that now that their leader has been caught the war on terra (I hate that phrase) would be winding down. The fact is they don't need him anymore, they've franchaised. The neocons don't want the war to be over with, they need war, they need fear.

2. forever war = forever in power {bushes}

I not sure i agree totally with the theory, as being here and now, but an interesting theory is

... to stay in power, a clicke only needs a foreign enemy.. so a forever war would be great for the bushes.

This is a "small" war that wont overthrow us, so it is one bushes can tolerate forever.
