The Democratic Convention takes place next week. I’m hoping for word that Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri have been captured or killed.

The White House is pressuring our Pakistani allies to deliver terrorist high-value targets (HVTs) during the Democratic Convention, according to this article in the New Republic. The White House reportedly told a Pakistani intelligence officer that “it would be best if the arrest or killing of [any] HVT were announced on twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight July”—Al Qaeda as counter-programming to the Democratic Convention.

If the Democratic Convention is what it takes to get the Bush Administration to move against Al Qaeda, then let’s have a Democratic Convention every week.
