"Even if Kerry IS elected (G-d forbid!), US gets hit anyway."
I think so. I just get confused in wondering what the next excuse for any attack is going to be. Although I'm sure they'll come up with something, up until now it's been hate Bush campaign so I have to wonder if this is really his vote for Kerry campaign or if he/AQ's counting on the American people telling him to go to hell via electing Bush. That'll just hand him his justification of attacking innocents on a silver platter.
Yes.
But ... get this scenario from a Jihadi publicist's viewpoint ... the US election gets tied up in court until CHRISTMAS, and they have to figure out WHICH candidate they're going to address in the next attack! (j/k ... I do understand that it's actually the American people they're trying to manipulate ... )
