I'm not usually a cospiracy theorist by any means, but I have a hunch we'll be finding him, oooooh mid- to late-October. Y'know, just a hunch. And, of course, if we don't find him by election day then we really don't know where he is. That's my little theory anyway.

Kerry, today:

The administration told us we’d be greeted as liberators. They were wrong. They told us not to worry about looting or the sorry state of Iraq's infrastructure. They were wrong. They told us we had enough troops to provide security and stability, defeat the insurgents, guard the borders and secure the arms depots. They were wrong. They told us we could rely on exiles like Ahmed Chalabi to build political legitimacy. They were wrong. They told us we would quickly restore an Iraqi civil service to run the country and a police force and army to secure it. They were wrong. In Iraq, this administration has consistently over-promised and under-performed. This policy has been plagued by a lack of planning, an absence of candor, arrogance and outright incompetence. And the President has held no one accountable, including himself. In fact, the only officials who lost their jobs over Iraq were the ones who told the truth.

You know, Red, your comment made me take my conspiracy paranoia one step further. What's to stop this administration, which has actively and intentionally deceived the public before to serve its own agenda, to just, y'know, say we caught him DOA and finding a "hero" who gunned him down (like in Wag the Dog with that crazy Schumann guy played by Woody Harrelson)? They'd only have to keep the facade going for a couple weeks, then say "Oh, guess it wasn't him. Musta been a body double." And what could anyone do about it?

<h2>Yeah it may be out there and it may be completely paranoid on my part but just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. ;-) Hey, it could happen! lol.</h2>
