5. This is the best line
During the talks, Pakistan asked U.S. officials for more helicopters, surveillance and communications equipment to help Pakistani forces guard border areas near Afghanistan "more efficiently," a Pakistani official at the talks said.

Yes, yes...We are very close to catching OBL--if you give us more helicopters and stuff.

9. I can imagine...
...that the capture of Bin Laden loses its value to the admin after the election, so Pakistan would probably be wise to play that card before November if they want anything in return for it.

11. Hope they remembered to.....................
set the microwave on 25% power for a nice slow thaw, otherwise he's going to have dried out ears and shriveled nose. Won't look too good for the photo-op.

YES! How many Americans have lost their lives over in Iraq in a war that shouldn't have been started? That war was for bu$h. That's all he can run on.

50. didn't Bush stop caring about catching Bin Laden?
I thought he said that Osama wasn't his number one priority. How many times did he mention him during his speech?

40. Should read: "Osama nearly thawed out...a matter of days"
A fast thaw could damage the epidermis and would show up on the photos. These things take time.

46. I hope Pakistan catches him
and takes all the credit from Bush.

Even if we do catch them, people will think it's just dumb luck since Bush hasn't mentioned him forever and claimed he wasn't the priority. If he is caught so close to the election, Americans will connect the dots.

55. Man... I wish I hadn't missed all the deleted posts from the neoconWHORE..
Can someone PM me to let me know what crap they were spewing? It looks like it was entertaining.

As much as I cannot stand the position of neocon WHORES, it does bother me that we suppress their ability to embarrass themselves and censor their opinions... it's what Freepers do, it's suppression of free speech and I just don't like feeling like we lower ourselves to doing the same suppressive stuff they do.

RAW

56. This could also be a "we're turning the corner" tactic.
In fact, I think that's more likely. This optimistic "we've almost got him now" line is oddly reminiscent of Bush's remarks on the economy. And Hoover's for that matter.

Bush has proven completely inept at capturing bin Laden (a point Kerry is sure to bring up in the debates). Perhaps this is just Bush's preemptive rhetoric.
