Bin Ladin Threatens More Attacks if Bush Wins
SeaMax News ^ | 10/29/2004 | Fr. Michael Reilly

Posted on 10/30/2004 8:51:00 AM PDT by Hugenot

Most political pundits thus far have missed the point of Osama bin Ladin's "endorsement" of Senator John Kerry in a videotape this Friday.

Bin Ladin was not addressing the American public, but rather the remnant of al Quaeda scattered throughout the Arab world. After his stunning success in disrupting the Spanish elections and energizing his remaining supporters, bin Ladin is desperate to strike at the United States.

Unable to launch a Madrid-style attack to disrupt and influence American elections, bin Ladin is forced to settle for a pre-election bashing of President Bush in the language of Michael Moore and his Hollywood friends and then hope that Kerry wins. By threatening American voters with terrorist attacks if Bush is re-elected, his terrorist audience will be impressed by bin Ladin's boldness in taking on Bush.

If Kerry does win the election, bin Ladin will be able to claim a victory, arguing that he was successful in intimidating American voters who fear terrorism. In doing so, he will be able to convince his terrorist allies that he is still a powerful force in the world.

Those bumper stickers that say "Terrorists for Kerry" are right on the money, aren't they?

Wonder how Kerry likes getting an endorsement from Osama bin Laden?

The first thing that "hit" me was that it may have been a "secret code" to our enemies to carry out additional attacks depending on the outcome of the election.

That's the way I read it too. Blue states - safe; Red states - not safe. I'm sure the DUmmies will actually fall for it and never give a thought to the fact OBL chose the blues states for his first attack.

Supposedly we can follow France's lead and say: "If we be nice to evil, maybe evil will be nice to us."

The point is that America won't knuckle under like Spain. Islamofascism has no future in this country. No future anywhere. GW will win on Tues, and then the gloves are off, baby.

Osama bin Ladin: "Vote for John Kerry, please."

Osama was reading directly from Al Gores notes. Breaking News: Al Gore has Mad Cow Disease.

I posted last night that I went to vote yesterday. It took me awhile to choose a president. My husband asked me why it took so long. I told him I wanted to make sure that I had voted for GB and that the circle was dark and completely filled in, so no one would have any doubts.

Osama was one of those secret foreign leaders who either called or met with Kerry offering support.

On the other hand it was somewhat ironic to see Al Quaeda and binny reduced to being a spokesman for yet another 527.

If the Devil himself came up from the flames, kERRY would welcome his endorsement.

The usual response is to claim that even a broken clock is right at least twice a day, but it doesn't negate the fact that evil madmen are having the same thoughts as they are.

LOL! Only thing missing is "I'm John Kerry and I approved of this message!"

You know el_texicano may have hit the nail on the head in post #16. It could backfire on OBL.

Bring it on.

Yeah, sure....Kerry is still bruised and beaten over his stupid "bring it on" macho campaign challenge. It got brung, and he ain't gonna recover. By this time next week (election fraud challenges notwithstanding) he'll be a laughable footnote to history.

The fact of the matter is that, if Kerry is elected, OBL HAS to launch another attack on US. Pig Dropping Bin Laden KNOWS that Bush would use another attack (especially after OBL's gragging about 9/11) to quickly nuke some evil non-Christian places. With Kerry in charge, OBL would have to attract his attention, do something to get Kerry to focus on his new job and sit down and talk.

Kerry is a lazy, arrogant elitist with a very poor work ethic. He'd spend the first two years of his reign visiting foreign countries and bonding with foreign leaders. He would let his sewer dwellers loot the US and enslave most of the middle class while he was building alliances. OBL knows what a schmuck Kerry is and would have to do something to bring Kerry to the surrender table.

A Kerry win GUARANTEES another attack on the US!!

You know, that's true. I remember after 9/11, some pundit said, "And the thing is, most of the people they killed didn't vote for Bush!" (And I know this is a horrible reaction on my part, and yes, I am ashamed of it, but I immediately thought, "well, there's the silver lining.")

=====
Not many in the MSM realize it, if much of anything really, but part of OBL's strategy is SELLING PROTECTION!!! It worked on Spain..."back off and you will not get attacked.." --- this is PRECISELY WHY THESE MAGGOTS NEED TO BE KILLED...ASAP!!!
