The October Surprise

Mark your calendars folks, cause it's on the way:

THE United States is engaged in intense efforts to capture
al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden who is believed to be still hiding in
the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the top US general
said today.
"It's been intense," said General Richard Myers, the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. "There have been operations that have gone on to
work that problem. We're organised to take advantage of the leads."
Myers refused to discuss the search in any detail, but assured defence
reporters here US intelligence agencies have spent "an enormous amount
of time" on the effort.

After spending more than two years sitting on their asses and pulling
intelligence operatives OUT of Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Bush
Administration is finally getting around to looking for The Most Evil
Mastermind In the History of the Universe.
Hopefully by autumn conventional wisdom will be that Bush will unveil
OBL as a campaign stunt. If it's expected then public reaction will be
somewhere along the lines of "well, we saw this coming a mile away."
