Bets on DOD for Bin Laden?

My $1 is on October 11, 2001, the 1-month anniversary of the attacks.

I bet that nobody will object to speaking ill of the dead in this case.

Your posts indicate a desire to assert your perception of superior intellect, while, to me, it merely indicate arrogance.

Q Scott, I have two questions for you. It's coming up on five years since Osama bin Laden ostensibly fled Afghanistan. Isn't the President frustrated that all the intelligence sources, all these monitoring of communications, all the human intelligence, satellites can't find one tall man? What's the problem?

MR. McCLELLAN: It's al Qaeda that has been frustrated, first of all. We have already brought to justice, in one way or another, some three-quarters of their known leadership. We are winning this war on terrorism. But as the President said from the very beginning -- go back to 2001 -- this is going to be a long war. It is an unconventional war that we are fighting, as I talked about. This is a sophisticated enemy that we are up against. We have them on the run. They are under a lot of pressure. We have seen, time and again, that people have been brought to justice, people that are members of al Qaeda, as well as other terrorist organizations. And he is someone who is on the run, someone who is hiding. And we've talked about that. And I think others have talked about that, in testimony last week, why that has been the situation.

Q My point is, how could he hide for five years?

MR. McCLELLAN: But, Ivan, it's broader than just -- the war on terrorism is broader than just one person. But we have to also remember that we are a nation that remains at war. And that's why it's so important that we continue to act on all fronts, we continue to use every tool at our disposal to disrupt plots, to prevent attacks, and to go after and bring to justice those who seek to do us harm.

He screwed up!
There's that 75% number again.

Rumor has it Has Been Laden survived this accident with only an upset stomach, after being treated with antacid tablets. So, we cannot declare anyone having 11/24/63 as the winner unless they submit tangible proof.
