Utter nonsense. He would still go after Democratic NY (again) because of its Jewish population.

Of course he would. But that doesn't mean that Bin Laden wasn't specifically trying to influence "swing states".

Are you saying that we can't rely on the word of Bin Laden? Right you are.

The point is that Bin Laden is trying to get states to turn blue for their own protection. Of course, he's lying, but he is trying to manipulate.

Bin Laden is taking a page or even a chapter from Michael Moore. Right after 911, Moore said that it was a shame that blue state people were hit by Al Qaeda, when the attack should more properly have been against the red state people who voted for Bush.

Additionally, the "Bush is corrupt and incompetant" and "Bush kept reading the book on 911" criticisms are taken from Fahrenheit 911.

Finally, the parts of the tape that haven't been played are said to include mention of Halliburton and Iraq was attacked for its oil, both staples of the left attacks on Bush.

The unplayed part also supposedly includes threats against Bush, specific members of his family, and at least two named cabinet officers (I'm guessing Rumsfeld and Ashcroft because those are the two the U.S. liberals hate the most).

[Cold Heat]

This has nothing to do with attacks, it has everything to do with the newly acquired knowledge of OBL about our electoral college.

It is all about the election..........

I think that Americans in every state have a long MEMRI and will do the right thing when it comes to dealing with Bin Laden...
