Along those same lines, some there believe that Osama Bin Laden is captive and will "suddenly be captured" just before the Nov. presidental elections to give Bush another boost in ratings.

If we did off Saddam or O. B. L. early on- the motivation for the american people to stay at war would wane- especially with mounting war causalties.
So IMHO- it is possible to play the bad guys to your advantage- and might even be a good idea war stradegy wise.

I heard the Saddam story the day BEFORE they captured him. Some guy was on one of those talk radio stations saying he knew that he had been captured already and was being held, interrogated and when the time was right, he'd be "found". The same guy said the same about OBL, saying he expected him to be "found" in late September, early October. At the time I just blew it off, funny, the very next day.....
I don't know about the missile and pentagon theory. That is too far fetched for me.

I feel its very possible, but I hope you're wrong.If we do have OBL in custody,why should we stay at war, isn't that the reason we went to war in the first place ?I'm glad you feel it is a good idea for your government to lie to you,but I disagree.when someone lies to you and you find out, do you ever realy trust them after that ? to me it seems like cutting off our own nose to spite our face.

I would be more inclined to believe that OBL is dead. Even if we caught him we would still be at war. OBL was not the end all terrisom is. (of course we can never stop that, it is kind of like the war on poverty, not winnable)
How many resources are freed up because we have Saddam? How many more would be freed once OBL is found?
So, any Republican consipiracies out their. The only one I can think of at the moment was that Clinton bombed the asprin factory to deflect attention from Monica.

I could understand them holding Sadam for a day or so untill they were positive they had him, before announcing it. thats better than having to print a retraction saying we thought we had him, but were mistaken.

Have you noticed that since I announced my campaign for the presidency there has been no mention of it in the media? Did you know that the thousands of dollars in campaign contributions that I know you have all sent have been intercepted and diverted. Have you noticed the responses I have gotten when I posted some disagreement with the current administration. There is a well organized, well funded conspiracy to silence me and derail my campaign. The foil I keep in my cap provides me some protection but the dial tone on my phone (which used to be B flat) is now A sharp. I also receive coded messages every week day in the form of pre approved credit card applications left in my mail box. If I should disappear, please notify th

speaking of conspiricies,did anyone watch the self- contradicting show on JFK last night, hosted by non-other than peter jennings. the story was so full of wrong info and incorrect time lines , it became a joke. best quote was from LBJ's adviser;" even LBJ didnt truly believe the Warren report, and that Oswald did not act alone".

What makes you think Oswald wasn't the only shooter? I have seen a lot of shows where "experts" on both sides have analyzed the Zapruder film. If just going off of that film, I would have to believe that Oswald did fire the first throat shot and the final head shot.

There's always the one that Vince Foster was murdered in the White House on Clintons orders and dumped in the park.
Or that the Dept of Commerce Sec. Ron Brown's plane was sabotaged and crashed (Bosnia) in order for Clinton to cover his tracks.

I mean, couldn't this Pentagon "air crash" be made up just for dramatical purposes?
The truth is out there... too bad we're sitting on the wrong side of the line
