1. Do you think that He will announce ... |
|
that Bush has been captured.
That would be rich.

25. Or perhaps Bush knew more about the 9-11 than he has revealed. |

10. Of course--it's an opportunity for Kerry |
|
to remind everyone that Shrub is "not that concerned" about OBL.

28. Pssst. Hey W, He's Alive |
|
This should focus all voters on the fact that Osama is alive and the primary threat to our security. We are mired in Iraq while Osama makes videos freely.
Could you imagine in WWII if we attacked Mexico while leaving Hitler to roam freely.

14. Is this the "Open letter to America" tape? |
|
If it is, ignore... well, ignore it regardless.
The "Open letter to America" from OBL is psychotic.
Interesting read into the mind of a mad man however.

15. on friday afternoon? Rove only dumps BAD news on friday |
|
afternoon, so that it doesnt make it through the weekend news cycle.
The way things are going for bush, OBL will offer to end all hostilities if GW steps down.
- not that thats likely, but Bush is having a really bad week.

19. Maybe al Zarqawi will appear at the end of the video tape, |
|
and saw off Bin Ladens's head! That's a tape I'd like to see. (Sorry, I'm not usually that blood thirsty.)

21. I swear to God if any of these networks show the tape and play the speech |
|
They should be convicted of treason for giving aid to the enemy.
Hasn't every attack against America by Al-Qaida been after a bin Laden tape?

OBL takes precedence over 380 tons of explosives in weekend news cycle.
OBL makes the fearful more fearful, usually a winner for Bush's approval.
OBL saying that Bush is bad and kills Muslims also works for the fraidy party.
And, even better for people (Bushco) who don't care who's killed for their political ambitions, OBL gives them a superficial justification for the hit on Fallujah.
So why shouldn't we suspect the mother of all dog-wagging, if Bush makes a big macho military move 2-3 days before the election as a response to OBL?
Did Bush call his pals the bin Laden family to ask for their help, or what?

31. I think it's pretty clear that W is OBL's preferred choice. |
|
He knows that these tapes are helping W, so why does he do it? Here's why: If * is re-elected, then OBL will have an easier time of recruiting pissed-off Persians to join him. OBL wants more conflict - and he sees * as his ticket to get it.
