That is a scary thought, but even more frightening too me is that many Americans, instead of saying "It's about time," and then voting for Obama, would probably make the Republicans into heroes once again and vote for McCain.

As for Osama Bin Laden, how about this for a possibility: <blockquote>Pulitzer prize winning journalist Bob Woodward, who helped uncover the Watergate scandal in 1972, says that the October surprise in the run-up to the presidential election could be the death or capture of Osama bin Laden.</blockquote> Mike, no-one’s calling anyone a retard, but thanks for confirming that I am of sound mind. :-P

I don't know what happened on 9/11 but two jets crashing in to those buildings did not cause them completely collapse in to themselves... They say JET fuel burned for over an hour and melted the steel causing the steel to melt, collapsing the building.. Ummm I'd have to say that when that plane slammed in to the building all of the fuel blew up on impact! Oh and why is it that the most powerful country in the world can't find some guy living in a cave, seven years on? The answer is cause they don't want to find him. Nick is not a retard!!!

I just want it on the record again. I cannot disagree with you more, buddy. Sigh. :-/ I guess you'd say that I'm a close-minded victim of the psychological crutch of consistency.
