CNN REPORT

So I guess Bin Laden is alive and well after all.
Does anyone here think this is a bit too convenient for Bush?
He was sitting on this info waiting to 'declassify' it to share with us all.
I think if this were true, he would have made a big anouncement already.

it could be true, but he was probably wanting to keep the info on the low down. bad news for his buddies the Bin Ladens. I think it was a desperate attempt to gain ground that he's quickly losing. if he really wanted to nab Osama, it could have been done before the invasion of iraq.

btw, nice sig. pass it out to everyone you can.
