Is he gone?


My theory?

He's in storage, along with OBL. I'm sure we know where he is, within a 3 meter
radius, at all times.

It would be silly to eliminate either one of them at this point. There's an
election coming up next year. If GWB isn't doing very well about mid-October
next year, watch for one of these guys to be taken out. If that doesn't do the
trick, the other could follow close behind. Remember how Bush's approval rating
shot up to 80-some percent just after we invaded Iraq? About 35 or 40 points
higher than current ratings.
We can be sure the Bush Ad hasn't forgotten, either.

If Bush seems to maintain a comfortable lead in the polls, SH and OBL may be
safe for a while. They serve a purpose by living:
"The threat is still out there! We can't start all over with a new
administration!"

Sorry if that sounds cynical. It is. I don't put any sort of skullduggery or
dirty tricks past politicians in general. Anybody who lived through the 60's
knows that politicians can be willing and able to accept American military
casualties as part of the price of politics.
