Didn't OBL say in his pre-election broadcast that states that vote Kerry would be spared? If truthful, this would put South Dakota, (a.k.a. #7 coalition partner) at the top of the hit list.

Tactically he may need a time out. Electing Kerry would have given him some time to regroup and reconsolidate his forces. But if you think that would have ended the war, you're mistaken.

The long term goals remain the same: The destruction of the West through the rise of Islamic resistance.
