Question for you, or anyone that wants to answer. If Obama launches that raid to kill Osama Bin Ladin, and the copters are shot down all men killed.

Bin Ladin gets away. Everything else in the Country is the same as it was last election other than that one fact.

Does he lose the election? I say yes. It was so close that one big blunder right or wrong that would have been pinned on him would have cost him the election.

Just a little late Night speculation

He still wins. There would have been a price to pay but not a heavy one. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 06:27
well, i don't think Bin Laden gets away because they could have still leveled the compound with a cruise missile - charlie Feb 22, 22:17 2
- I know that the Democrats used Tora Bora against Bush. Our last chance at Bin Ladin before we finally got him -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 22:19 1
  - there's a difference between taking an action that fails and not taking any action at all - charlie Feb 22, 22:22
If they were all killed would we have known about it - or would it just have been helicopters shot down by rebel fire? -- nm - Meg Feb 22, 22:16 2
- It was in Pakistan, I think it would have made news. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 22:19
- I think for the purposes of my hypothetical question. We follow the rules of the failed Iranian Hostage Rescue. The media finds out about it. -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 22:18
