    No hard feelings, I also respect you very much as a poster.

    Now let's just hope they do catch the crook :).

    Similar rumors about the U.S. capturing Bin Laden were floating about 6 weeks ago or so. The Truth: Bin Laden is in a cave somewhere being watched by 6 or 7 Marines and will not be trotted in front of the public til 9/11/04. Hence, Bush wins the election and All Dogs go To Heaven.

    Would anyone like to accept wagers on how long it takes the liberals to complain about Bid Laden's arrest, once it is announced? My guess is less than one day. Who will be the first?

    glynch: even money
    rimrocker: 2-1
    No Worries: 4-1
    RocketManTex: 6-1
    ROXTXIA: 6-1
    Woofer: 6-1
    "The field": 10-1

    I don't buy it. No way could they keep the capture of been layden a secret for more than a day, much less 6 months. No way. As far as the source, what SJC said.

    By the way, I don't care when we do it, how we do it, who the president is when we do it, when it's announced to the American people and the world, who takes 'credit' for it, I don't care!

    Just get him.

    Some Pakistanis at a store down the street were celebrating. They said that all of their relatives back home say he's been captured, and that Rumsfeld was there.

    Yup the liberals are already teeing up their qualifiers and reasons to not be excited that Bin Laden will be caught.

    ...and I'll lay $100 on glynch at even money as the first to complain. I'd also like to wager $100 that rimrocker will start 10 new threads that day attempting to divert attention from the news.

    You never know, SJC, one of the new rabid liberals could sneak up on you! We have some eager beavers among them, with the addition of thadeus and Chump. We also have the extremely frustrated, angry, and bitter segment of the liberal clan, which includes Batman Jones, andymoon and Deckard. You sure about those bets?

    Only if I can cheat!

    By the way, I won't comment about the others since I haven't read their posts enough, but Deckard never appeared angry and bitter to me.

    "the field" includes some powerful mid-majors, including:

    Rocketman95
    myself, "Sizzlechest" as it were
    SamFisher
    and let's not forget the one who transcends the "mid-major" label:
    .. Major.

    These posters don't necessarily start many threads, but it would be foolish to overlook us when putting your good, hard, tax-refunded money on a wager.

    Sizzler,
    Selected posters have been left out of the draw to increase their ire and prod them to respond. Hey, one of them just did!

    Yes, I dropped in a *sizable* donation after reading about the server upgrade costs.

    Funny how it was almost immediately after I pointed out that you hadn't donated...

    So one could say...you get an assist? But how is the assist/turnover ratio?

    Only Clutch could answer that question :cool:.

    Man,

    I don't care how they announce it....it would be a major coup for the free world.

    My guess is they would not announce it until they have milked him for all the info they could get to hunt down the rest of the Bin Laden Gang.

    Take this for what it's worth... I have a friend who is a producer for a foreign television station, who works in LA. She said that there is rumor going around that Bin Laden has been captured, and it will be released next week.

    This is just another in a line of rumors. But it does seem like efforts in Pakistan have been stepped up recently. Maybe the yeilded Osama. Maybe the rumors just started because of the increased activity and aren't true at all. I just thought I'd pass on what I've heard.

    SJC is jealous that Mac slept/is sleeping with with Tera Patrick.


    Me too, for that matter. :)
