Bummer. I'd hoped he was buried under rubble. What to make of the rant? The parroting of idiotic Michael Moore points was a little pathetic for an alleged spiritual mastermind. And the re-calibration of the rationale for 9/11 - again retroactively talking of Palestinians - was the usual vile opportunism. But why release a tape just before the elections? The obvious impact will be to help Bush. Any reminder of the 9/11 attacks will provoke a national rallying to the commander-in-chief. The deep emotional bond so many of us formed with the president back then is Bush's strongest weapon in this election, and OBL has just revived it. The real October Surprise turned out not to be OBL's capture (sorry, Teresa!) but OBL's resilience. I have a feeling that this will tip the election decisively toward the incumbent. A few hours ago, I thought Kerry was headed for victory. Now I think the opposite. I also have a sinking feeling that that was entirely bin Laden's objective.
Hate to ask, but is THIS the Oct Surprise?
It is the psy-op portion of Osama's OS. The murderous portion will come when the democrats tie up the election results with endless court challenges and the American people get at each others' throats ... for maximizing the chaos factor, don'tchaknow. Those democrats, always willing to aid and abet our national enemies if it will empower them. And make no mistake, if the democraps lose this election, they will be playing obstruction politics for four years in a final effort to mutate this nation into the liberal hell we know they would love.
AND, there is the real possibility that Osama thinks his ghouls will be carrying out bloody attacks between now and election day ... heard about the roadblock on I-65 coming from Kentucky into TN today?
No, I did not. Sorry, it's late, and I am at wits end with this election stuff. I am sick and tired of the DUmmies and all of their allies (MSM and UBL are 2 examples) throwing something out everyday for the last 2 years (since the day after the 2002 elections)
Gotta be kidding.
Cell phones take better video than the crap Al-Jazeera's sources are pulling from the 'Weekend at Osama's' archives. Osama is a maggot-infested corpse beneath Tora Bora and has been since December 2001. That's one body that will never be found.
Provided that America is not too similar to spain, this will work to Bush's advantage.
Of course he's bummed. He thinks the national election is really about health care policy, abortion rights, and higher tax rates. He'd sell his mother to win.
