Bin Laden before the election: What are the odds?
on: September 09, 2008, 01:57:02 pm
Woke up to the news that several top Al Qaeda / Taliban members where just blasted by the US in Pakistan.  Report said that the Pakistani government was cracking down as well and unlike previous US strikes weren't condemning this one.  That got me thinking.  Is this the beginning of the lead up to a pre-election capture or killing of Bin Laden?

There are a lot of holes in the ground in the world. Three years after he started running, he could be anywhere by now.

Conversely, three years a long time and you will eventually run out of holes.

Yeah, I suspect they'll be taking him out of his prison cell soon and making him look all "captured" for the cameras.

If he's still alive.

A 2000 pound bomb could evaporate quite a few people, so he might have been lucky enough to get those virgins already...

In answer to the topic, the odds are currently 441,630:1 against. I suggest you make an even spread possibly contacting a bookie to arrange more bespoke conditions.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

Wouldn't it be easier to clone Bin Laden, than to find him? It's not like it has to be a perfect working model, either.

Fine, you delay the election the fifty-odd years we'd need for it to grow enough to be realistic, and then somehow prevent everyone from noticing.

Yes, yes indeed. I really shouldn't bother actually being on topic here, as somehow my "conspiracy theories" with "no evidence" never get anywhere, but it's simple really. The US paid Osama/Gave him protection to hit the WTCs, we use it as an excuse to go into Iraq for oil. It's not all that hard to work on in your head >_> But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they dragged his ass out of whatever Cell/Mansion/Cave he's currently in for the election. Lord knows things have gotten wierd enough already

First seriously:

and:
http://www.loosechangeguide.com/LooseChangeGuide.html

It'll take hours to watch and read, but there's some interesting stuff on physics, architecture, chemistry, fire fighting, aeronautics and modern history that are worth knowing when you stumble upon a conspiracy theorist.

@videos: I know all this already, i'm not saying the US flew holographicly disguised missiles or whatever the **** else people say. They simply paid osama/maybe gave him protection for him to do it.

@comic: It didn't work out quite like that I don't think, but meh. The pentagon thing was really wierd though. a plane almost certainly didn't hit it.
