Love the timing. Let's see, three or so weeks ago he was alive. Three or so weeks ago we had ourselves a little election. The people who stood to benefit the most from his being alive (anyone smell a Rat?) got drubbed in said election, and now he's dead again. Move along, folks, nothing to see here...

I don't know about that. If anything, Republicans stood to gain more politically if OBL was still alive since that would reinforce their national security agenda. Look at it this way. Republicans sweep the government, sign the homeland security bill that essentially destroys the 4th ammendment, and decide that OBL just might be dead after all. hmmmmm

First off, let me state that I am a broken glass Republican and I really like GWB ---- But it seemed very convenient that when various people started demanding proof that Iraq was involved with terrorism, a tape appears with OBL connecting them all: Iraq, 9-11, Bali, Moscow, etc. Doesn't this seem to help Bush's cause?

Man, the paranoia has been running thick since the election!
