Gossip / News October Surprise?
Posted by Patrick Alan Coleman on Mon, Sep 29 at 1:35 PM
Talking with some friends this weekend, one of the topics of conversation was the fear/possibility that Osama could be served up on a platter sometime before election day. This would be huge for the Republicans and not so good for Obama, who has accused McCain, more than once, of not wanting to chase Bin Laden to "the cave where he lives."
Where did this come from? Look no further than Bob Woodward on Larry king earlier this month:
Okay. So he's not saying that Bin Laden will be captured, he's just saying that it could happen. Still, Woodward has a great deal of contacts in the upper levels of the Bush administration. It's possible that he knows something that we don't. I wouldn't get too worried about it. After all, the whole "Osama will be captured in October" gambit has been replayed several times during election cycles since 9/11. Never-the-less, if it happens, I wont be too surprised. But honestly? The guy was on fucking dialysis. How many caves could there be in Afghanistan outfitted with generators and hospital beds?

Conspiracy theorists heads will explode if he is captured/killed this close to election time. Mine included.
"Still, Woodward has a great deal of contacts in the upper levels of the Bush administration. It's possible that he knows something that we don't."
Seriously, tell me you're not actually implying what you seem to be implying... How very embarrassing.
I thought the october surprise was the deployment of American ground troops inside America to use against Americans. That starts tomorrow, Oct 1.
Look for the article in ArmyTimes tittled "Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1."
