bin Laden to be caught soon?

[Lady's Human]

Even the suggestion that the government somehow has enough tactical intelligence to find Bin Laden but won't catch him due to presidential politics is ridiculous. If US forces found Bin Laden or had enough intel to track him to a specific spot he would be dead or captured in a heartbeat. There are 1.1 million troops in the US military who would LOVE to be the one that catches the bastard, and if we had captured him there would be no way to keep the story quiet until it could be used as an "october surprise". Give those of us in the military a little credit. If we knew where he was, he'd be dead and the story would be on CNN about 30 seconds after confirmation.

You are absolutely right. There is NO WAY he can be arrested just to further Bush's campaign.
