Prediction: Osama will release a video tape on Friday or Monday

[Ignacio Upton]

Why Friday? Because October/November surprises are effective right before the weekened starts, so the newscycle gets consumed by Friday's event. For example, Bin Laden chose to release a video tape on the Friday before Election Day 2004 to get as much publicity as possible, and to swing the election to Bush. I won't put it past the ass-clown to do the same thing this year to help Bush.
Why Monday? Well, another scenario I have heard is that Bin Laden will release the tape on Monday as a statement in response to the Saddam trial verdict (he will be GUILTY, but the MSM will make it look like it is a shock to boost Bush's job approval.)
In both cases, I expect him to make a ringing endorsement of the Democrats. I wouldn't be surprised if he is wearing a Ned Lamont button.

1. It won't matter any more. Only the dead-enders who'd vote Repub anyway

would even believe it's real. And Saddam's conviction is a foregone conclusion. Yawn...

2. Oh really?

The MSM will be ready to go to hype Bin Laden and Saddam and make those event a spectacle of fellating dwarfing the Kerry spectacle.

3. How are they gonna hire another actor to play OBL on such short notice?

Besides, wasn't that the gimmick they used in the last election? Chimpy might be dumb enough to think that will work twice, but I don't think Rove is.

4. ....only this time he'll be speaking perfect English....

....and thanking both Clinton and Kerry for giving him the money to build radio-controlled airplanes that can drop atomic bombs on every pre-school in America with only 15 minutes notice.

Only his lips won't move quite in synch with the words, but the picture will be blurry enough that Rush Limbaugh won't notice thru his drug-addled stupor.

6. Osama wants Republicans to win and continue their destruction of USA

If Republican Americans are so easily duped maybe we deserve the country and government we got.

8. Or an attack on Iran. Or a terror "alert".

I'm going with another bullshit terror alert.
