zyzylyYou know it's gonna happen--sometime between now and the presidential election on November 2, they're going to pull Osama from a hat, or a hole or an "undisclosed location". The question is not "if", the question is "when".
Your job is to select what you believe to be the most politically expedient moment for this to occur. Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's Halloween. Only your government knows for sure.
Take your best shot--the winner will receive your choice of one of twenty-seven 8X10 color glossy pictures, with circles and arrows, and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was.In the case of a tie, a random drawing will determine the winner.

an awkward thing to say because I do not
hope too many people will be killed but
as opposed to being free to kill more yes
I hope it for him, and may God have mercy
on his soul.
But at a guess I would say he will not be
in the next months...

Date: 2004-02-23 06:06 pm (UTC)in the administration at the time,
this does not trouble me much one
way or the other but I understand if
a person feels a high priority in getting
the administration replaced it becomes
a factor.
recall the Iranian hostage crisis where
the ayatollah and his advisors probably
considered whether to help out carter
or not and finally did not...thankfully though
they did let the hostages go if on the watch
of our next president.
My own feeling is that on the whole in my lifetime
the Popes have been greater statesment than
the presidents of either party but that most of
our presidents have tried to serve the republic...
anyway...
