OBL will be captured or killed prior to election day. US and
Pakastani intelligence know exactly where he is in Pakistan.
Pakastan does not want to capture OBL themselves fearing a backlash
from Pakastani citizens, many of whom support OBL.
They also have been unwilling to give the US authority to do the
job themselves for the same reason. The US has not taken action
hoping Pakastan will come around and has debated whether to just go
in on its own. With the election almost here and Bush sliding in
the polls, the US will disperse special forces to the Pakastani
safe house OBL is located and either kill or capture him.
Kerry needs to get ahead of the story and point out that they've
dropped the ball for 3 years on this and that the only people who
will derserve credit here are the military who were finally given
the authority to get the job done.
