If Osama Bin Laden is captured
it is important to realize that if Osama is captured, and he has his trial and is found not-guilty he should be released. I mean, I doubt he'll get a fair trial...especially with Bush* Co. screwing up all kinds of human rights. But its important that we understand, in the event he is captured, just because we'd have him in custody doesn't automatically give him a death sentence.

64. That's very likely right. There has never been an investigation
There has never been an admission of guilt. You were simply told by this administration via their lying press that this was the case and 99% of America bought the con job.

4. IF we catch him
I doubt we'll get him alive. And besides, we don't even know if he is in fact still living. Why would he be not guilty??

13. Agreed.
IF he's found, chances are that he will have been dead for a while (eg - died of kidney failure - for example), or that he died in a firefight (eg: martyr). I can't fathom any situations where IF UBL was caught alive, that he would be found "not guilty" since he has already avowed (and he's proud of it) that he was behind the 9/11 attacks. If he's alive, I can't see him allowing himself to be captured, much less be put on trial.

37. Osama never took credit for the attacks.
A CIA operative in a turban who didn't look a thing like Osama did. He's commonly referred to as "fat Osama", but he's most definitely not CIA agent Tim Osman a.k.a. Osama Bin Laden

7. no
no way...if he's caught and found guilty he should be punished...I'm saying...in this world where justice sometimes seems to be in the hands of a few misguided fools (Bush* Co.) its important we try even harder to do everything possible to make sure real justice prevails...

Using "Bush*" and all that! So cute. It's like the initial stages of Carpenter's "The Thing," when it can't quite get it's human form down without getting busted.

8. yeah right.
He ain't never gonna be "caught alive."

They'll probably show us a fingernail and say that was him minutes after we bomb some Tora Bora cave.

Then if/when they ever do find him, they'll just kill him - not like Saddam, whom they needed to show alive to 'pacify' Iraq.

18. I'm new here
and I'm not a troll.

So what's the accepted name for our fearless leader.

I like "The Shrub" it's traditional but I can use The Smirk if I have to. Commander Bunnypants is too long to type.

Is there a reason for refering to him as "*" ? I'm not in the know on that one.

Kurt drew a little picture of an '*' in that book ...

Kurt says it represents a sphincter ... a rectum ... an asshole ...

I think it fits Dumbya to a tee ...

Alright, here's the skinny.

Each poster competing in the contest (their conservativeness must be confirmed by FBG in order to participate) will each sign up for an account and screenname at the Democratic Underground. At a set time, we will release all of these neo-cons on the DU forums and the first one to get banned wins. Anyone interested?

I nominate The Colonel, Politician Spock, Ivan Karamazov, Andy Dufresne, Dragons, bueno, and I'm sure I'll come up with a bunch more by the end of the day.

43. Welcome to DU, Dave
Unfortunately, you're showing up at about the same time a group of repubs is supposedly having a contest to see who can get banned first.

I saw some of your posts earlier, and I hope people go easy on you and search *your* posts before attacking based on assumptions. If you get attacked, I hope you have thick skin and just let it roll. It will get better in the next day or so.

Welcome!

36. osama trial
Edited on Wed Jul-21-04 04:22 PM by 90-percent
due process, trial by a jury of his peers, full disclosure and competent legal representation. he should be treated to as fair and impartial a trial as would be possible.

Its the American way, and it would a good way for all of us to start being real Americans again.

It would balance out sodomizing children in front of their parents. We got good principles as a country, lets dust them off and start using them again!
