Election Surprise: Is Osama bin Laden in Custody?

We have been expecting this as well. It is probably about the only thhing that can save their lying, criminal asses, except Diebold, of course

But, wouldn't it be obvious to anyone with more than 3 neurons firing?

Pensito Review: Politics & Media � Election Surprise: Is Osama bin Laden in Custody?:

He's baaack: My tinfoil hat has been snap-crackle-and-popping all week over the sudden return of Osama bin Laden. Starting Tuesday, the day after Labor Day, the president launched his campaign of political terror with a series of speeches intended, apparently, to terrify swing voters and security moms into voting for the GOP in the fall elections. The speeches were unremarkable, except for a surprising number of references to the world's most wanted terrorist. Coincidentally, a new video of bin Laden that was taped in September 2001 also appeared this week.

Where has Osama been? After the attacks in 2001, President Bush said he wanted the terrorist mastermind 'dead or alive.' But as months passed and bin Laden eluded capture, and with the distraction of the president's misadventure in Iraq, poor Osama became a non-person of interest to the White House political team. I think we can assume that bin Laden went from being wanted dead or alive to Osama been-forgotten because the CIA and the Pentagon simply could not find him.
