When Predictions Go Bad

Bill Whittle, October 6:

You may call that a Terror Mastermind. I call it a greasy wet spot on the wall of a cave in Afghanistan.

The man is dead. Dead, or just possibly captured. The likelihood of him having been killed at Tora Bora by US â€œoutsourcingâ€� was rising with his deafening silence concerning each American counterstroke and became 100% when nothing was heard from the late Osama after the US invasion of Iraq.

Bill Whittle, yesterday:

I am now openly stating that Kerry will win with over 95% of the vote, and praying that my predictive ability remains up to par.

And for my part, I predict Kerry gets 500 electoral votes.

Loosen up a little – say he'll get 600 or so.

75%+ of OBL's organization is destroyed. Afghanistan is no longer a terrorist Club-Med. Libya decided the whole WMD biz wasn't working out. Afghanistan just had it's first election in 5,000 years, and Iraq is gearing up to have its first FREE election ever! Syria sleeps with one eye open.

And we haven't been attacked here. Why? 'Cause they like us?

Ya know, sooner or later we'll get this cockroach. But if in the meantime all he can do is lob home-movies out of his cave...well, it'll piss me off, but it won't be much more than a "nuisance"
