<<1) When was the last time GWB mentioned OBL (murderer of thousands of Americans in a premeditated attack on our soil) in a speech? He certainly mentions Hussein often. 2) What is the ratio of GWB's OBL mentions to Hussein mentions during 2004? >>> Rough guess- one out of 200. The hunt for OBL is no longer newsworthy - difficult terrain and commications,, embedded reporters not welcome or unwilling to spend weeks in difficult circumstances for a rare event which has no time schedule. Boring. Not even sure OBL is still around, with no pics or videos for nearly 9 months. Might be chasing a shadow. Out of newsworthy names today- Moore, Zawari, Sharon, Arafat, Sadr, Sistani, Chalabi , Bremer, Tenet, Gore, Carter, Kerry, Edwards, Peterson, M. Jackson, Tiger Woods, Blair, Putin, Chirac, and that basketball player. OBL would be at about the importance level of Jimmy Carter. Big headlines if he is caught. Sig
