I’m pretty sure I saw OBL at a Starbucks in Tampa last week but that was only an hour after having my eyes dialated by my eye doctor. And yeah, I did drive to the mall that day in that condition. Pretty scary huh? I could be wrong because I also thought I saw Elvis at the BP station in a Cadillac but my daughter informed me it was a poodle in an Chevy Impala. So much for my conspiracy theories.

Maybe not exactly this trick, but I do believe the White House will put some rabbit from its hat in due time.
We’re still to learn what will be done with Saddam Hussein, y’ know…
I’d really like to hear one of these Garklien’s in action, could be a life altering moment. 
Do these things have the same register as say, squeaky car brakes?
What? Produce Osama like pulling a rabbit out of a hat? I thought he was still free and making home movies!Ok, all kidding aside, if they don’t produce Bin Laden before election time I’ll eat a Garklein!
Some theories regarding Yomama bin Laden:
1: He really is smarter than Dubya and the CIA and the whole US army and is hiding out in {insert country of choice}. Not really that far-fetched if you look at the utter failure of the US security apparat in thwarting 911 or in predicting those awful, ungrateful Iraquis’ reaction to their unrequested “liberation” at US hands.
- He’s already long dead. Israeli Security seems to subscribe to this one. The guy was supposed to need renal dialysis - kind of hard to do that in an Afghani cave. CIA apparently thinks the last tape was genuine - but their track record for perspicacity isn’t exactly reassuring.
3: We know where he is - exactly where we’re going to capture or kill him in the latter part of October. Live capture would be the bigger coup. but then ‘dead men tell no tales’. Personally, I subscribe to this one in my more worriedly paranoid moments.
Both Yomama and Sadama are excellent reasons why one should not go creating monsters - they evetually bite the hand that fed them.
Yeah there are, the people who like conspiracy theories. The question is: do you entertain bi-partisan theories or just this kind?
Like I said in another thread, we need Oliver Stone to tell us what REALLY happened.
Why do you think this isn’t what you call a bi-partisan theory?
Like I said before: you seem to be obsessed with bi-partisanship, yet are unable to entertain even the remote possibility that the side you support can do anything wrong.
P, I think it’s more subtle than that: Of course he entertains the remote possibility that his side can do wrong. But you have to earn the right to point that out by being on that side. Because if you are on the other side, you are not actually pointing out a wrong, you are bashing. The implication is that by being on the other side, you lose the ability to see my side fairly or at all. It’s the epistimological you’re-with-us-or-against-us.
PARTY TIME!
Now you’ll get our Weeks really episted…
Not that it’s easy to avoid dialectics or bipartisanship when your nick is already plural…
PS: how much would it cost me to officially become a Republican, complete with a card with my mugshot and all? Then, if you do can you go and vote for the obvious loser, hence defeating the Nader effect?
Ah, you guys are full of it. A REAL conspiracy theorist would also believe that Clinton ordered the hit on Vince Foster, that’s all. I was just pointing out the drab predictability of thinking Bush has Osama waiting for an October surprise is oft-repeated by the Bush haters. There are conspiracy theorists and cabal predictors, then there are the lightweights.
This was all in fun. I remember back in the 70s when Rolling Stone magazine hired a guy named Howard Kohn to write a monthly conspiracy theory about Nixon. He never had any good ones for the Lefties, but man, those Republicans really have the puppetmaster thing down. I have never viewed a conspiracy theory the same way since. I believe almost none of them. Human tendency to SNAFU is way better than Pinky and the Brain.
Chill out.
My “side can do no wrong?” What “side” is that? Sheesh, I ain’t even registered Republican. :roll:
No, you chill out, weeks. 
I wasn’t making the point that Bush would keep Osama up the sleeve until October. I can’t think of any American administration off hand that I would put that sort of thing past. Tell me what gave you the idea that I was refering to Bush, esp. to Bush as opposed to Clinton?!? There is drab predictability in what you will presume people are saying or thinking.
And do me a favor, at least when you are talking about me: don’t label me a Bush-hater or lump me with the Bush-haters. That’s not what it is about. And I frankly resent having my dissapproval of the way Bush governs this country reduced to the level of emotion and irrationality.
And I frankly resent being given the treatment you gave me, Bloom, with your “with us or against us” bit. You guys may be enjoying the gang-bang on the Weekender, but I am repulsing your advances. Too bad I returned from vacation, or you guys could analyze me further without challenge.
As for your second paragraph, I think it takes a leap of emotion and irrationality to think Osama is sittin in a prison camp. I sincerely believe that along with “junk science” and the chronicled reduction of practical understanding of logic by the general public, is this Oliver Stone view of governments. Its oft-expressed here.
I think that holding Osama for the election is even beyond the Realpolitik view that many possess of this current or other governments. Sorry I didn’t state it clearer and you felt violated. I did too, by the previous four exchanges. Read my signature.
Brilliant!
Case in point. :roll:
You mean, your putting people in boxes doesn’t mean you want to be put in a box? 
But, fair enough, Weeks. Let’s not get worked up about it. And I don’t really think that they are secretly holding Osama, in case you haven’t figured that out. So let both chill.
Best, (Oh, dear, I’m Stoned)
You don’t?? I am soooooo disappointed… 
I know how to put those smileys too: :roll: :roll: :roll:
I especially like how they all roll their eyes in synch, like nice Republicans
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
Let’s use these and be done with it.
Best wishes,

Boy, you’re fast!
