Once upon a time I wasn't so cynical, I like to remind myself. But the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw this headline on Yahoo news today was, "There's the October Surprise".
U.S. Official Says Close to Catching Bin Laden
Cofer Black, State Department coordinator for counter-terrorism, said in Islamabad the entire "infrastructure" was in place to capture bin Laden and his close lieutenants, Pakistan's English language Daily Times reported.[snip]
"Success against people that you know about, Osama, could happen tomorrow, could happen the day after, a week from now, or a month from now," he added.
Of course. Right in time for the election run-up. How convenient.
I wasn't always this cynical. I don't LIKE being this cynical. But when it's this obvious, it's damn hard to NOT be cynical.
