President Bush must think we are stupid. He wants Osama Bin Laden captured by November 4th. Gee, I wonder why? It wouldn't have anything to do with the election.

Realistically, this is the only thing he can do to help McCain and Palin because to have Bush come out and speak on their behalf could be a major blunder with Mr. Bush's speaking skills.

The smart people out there though, like me, should be asking themselves why now?

To do this now is a selfish and too little too late approach. This president has had 7 years to capture Bin Laden and instead of keeping the heat on him he concentrated on a pre-emptive war on a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and wasted trillions of dollars in the process.

Osama Bin Laden should have been the focus from day one and should never have left the public spotlight. Instead, it morphed into Saddam who was never connected to the attacks of 7 years ago.

Some aggressive diplomacy immediately following the attacks of 9/11 and you might have had Saddam helping the US track Bin Laden. Saddam didn't want Bin Laden around anymore than we did. Bin Laden was a threat to Saddam's Power as dictator of Iraq.  

There is no excuse for this administration not capturing Bin Laden. They blew it and capturing him now will create a cynic out of me and many others Im sure. The reason why this is happening now is for the sole purpose of propping up John McCain and the republican party as the ones who caught Bin Laden.

This could have been done years ago and it was not. There is no telling me that the most powerful and sophisticated military in the world couldn't track down one man. Instead they wait until now, before the most important election in the history of this country and probably the direction of the free world.

Remember this was a President who as he was promoting his little war in Iraq stated that he really didn't think about Bin Laden:
