"What I tell people, I would be surprised but not necessarily shocked if we wake up tomorrow and he's been caught along with all his lieutenants. That can happen because of the programs and infrastructure in place," he told Geo.

Let the discussion (and conspiracy theories) begin.  :smirk:

It has been my theory, for more than a year now, that he will be caught within a week of the upcoming presidential election.

Weve heard this kind of thing before. I dont think this warrants new conspiracy theories the currently circulating nonsense will do fine for now.

Do you know how stupid that sounds? dont you think people would think that was a little suspicious? do you think you belong to some group of enlightened chosed ones who are solely capable of noticing when things are incredibly obvious? if they had caught bin laden    ( or as some of the more ridiculous theories would have us believe that they had him the whole time ) dont you think people would notice they sprang him out right before the ellection? if there is every any proof of this nonsense ill cut off my right ear and dedicate it to conspiracy theories.

Do I think people are, in general, extremely moronic? The answer is yes.

Makou does, he belongs to the beta testers *bows low* :P

No I don't think I belong to some superior race or anything, in fact, I'm quite naive myself. I could easily believe that if noone had drawn my attention to this possibility I would probably have fallen for it myself.

Edit:
further more I still think that even though people might notice, this strategy still serves a purpose. Osama's capture would still be fresh in the memory of the public and that certainly counts for something.
