It's May 2004 and we've just received word of WMD in Iraq. A tiny amount of sarin was discovered and it's already being dismissed by experts as not "a big deal."

This item serves as a reminder that as we draw closer to November, and as Bush's polling numbers continue to sink, all Americans should remain keenly skeptical concerning "October Surprise"-like shenanigans hitting the papers. If we see Osama captured (or killed) anytime after July, I for one will conclude it was completely staged, a calculated Rove-move to manipulate voters. At this point, given this administration's established track record of dishonesty, who with any sense would believe anything other than that? Does anyone actually believe in this day and age, with all of the technological advancement at the government's disposal, that we are to accept Osama's whereabouts as simply unknown?
