Exactly.
Osama knows that Bush has been relentless is attacking the Islamist movement.
Osama has no clue as to how Kerry will react, honestly, I doubt anyone does, including Kerry himself.
Looking at that logically, it is obvious that for Osama, Kerry would be the one he would prefer.
It's called a net gain. While the Bush Administration will kill more terrorists, it will also radicalize more terrorists, and actually create some sympathy in the world for UBL and his crew. They well know they can't prevail in a military win/lose sense. But if they get the Muslim youth firmly on their side and the bulk of the world either against us or afraid to be too strongly for us, they have furthered their cause.
I don't buy it for one minute, but the pro-Kerry and International Socialist types say Bush is Bin Laden's best recruiter for al Qaeda. It's hooey, but it's their theory. Of course, the Left is always explaining this mass-murdering psychopath in ways that help their side. So what can we expect.
Sullivan has some blind spots.
Hmm... With Kerry constantly capitulating, it might put a dent in the rate of recruiting? It's tougher to look like a martyr when you're slaughtering those who are trying to cave in as fast as a Frenchman? With Kerry as President, the nation (that is, the MSM) will no longer be aligned with them against the White House? That's all I got. Crummy reasons, but maybe they're good enough for OBL. Let's hope he's that stupid.
Oh! Wait! I forgot the biggie!!
OBL doesn't want to ruin his Hillary '08 t-shirt production business!
