D2, Bin Laden is brain-dead when it comes to American politics. He completely misread what our reaction to 9-11 would be, and likely believes that Americans, like Spaniards and Filipinos, will tremble at any more threats to the country.
Best part about this? When Bin Laden wanted to influence Spain's election, he bombed a few trains. To influence our elections, however, he has to release a f-ing video tape. Isn't this proof enough that Al-Queda is damn near wiped out?

petre,
You show what a fool you are. Everyone knows it is impossible to operate in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's impossible to send large number of troops in without suffering major casualties and if we did the liberal media would bury America. Do you remember what happened to the Russians when they sent 1000's of troops into the mountains? The majority did not return.

Good grief!
Let me see...
Bush benefits if Bin Laden were captured or killed.
Bush benefits if the guy is wandering around free to make lengthy tapes.
Yeah, that makes sense
ONE MORE POINT:
Are citizens here brainwashed by "Austin Powers" movies? Do we really think our leaders are intelligent and "street-smart" and our enemies are insane and naive in important ways which will always lead to their downfall?
Bin Laden is many things, but I feel safe in assuming he is not stupid. He has had years to consider how to design a message before our election. He wouldn't criticize Bush if he wanted him OUT OF POWER. He feels confident in the non-subtle, non-street smart, fearful, gullible American populace to shift just enough in the wake of this tape to perhaps guarantee a Bush victory.
The US hasn't the resources to invade and occupy as many countries as the Bush administration fears and thinks we need to preempt. We will run out of troops and have to go the way of a draft - regardless of who is the President - if we are poorly calculating and inefficient in our war on terror. Our economy will implode as well.
Bin Laden and his like are playing to undermine us over the long haul. Bush et al and the lemming-like sheeple who find safety in his "conviction" and "steadfastness" are responding with the predictability of novices playing chess.
It would be nice if intelligent, game-playing, street-smart Republicans on this site would stand to the side of their visceral partisanship for just a moment to consider what I have written here. You needn't change your vote to at least pause to think.

Bin Laden suggested Bush was slow to react to the Sept. 11 attacks, giving the hijackers more time than they expected. At the time of the attacks, the president was listening to schoolchildren in Florida reading a book.
"It never occurred to us that the commander-in-chief of the American armed forces would leave 50,000 of his citizens in the two towers to face these horrors alone," he said, referring to the number of people who worked at the World Trade Center.
"It appeared to him (Bush) that a little girl's talk about her goat and its butting was more important than the planes and their butting of the skyscrapers. That gave us three times the required time to carry out the operations, thank God," he said.
Excluding the hijackers, the Sept. 11 attacks killed 2,749 people at the World Trade Center, 184 at the Pentagon and 40 in Pennsylvania. In planning the attacks, bin Laden said he told Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers, that the strikes had to be carried out "within 20 minutes before Bush and his administration noticed."

Kerry and the left have went on and on about this whole terrorism talk is just to alarm the people. NO! it's real and they plan to cut your throat no matter who is President. When your hero Clintoon was in office for 8 long years the radical muslims attacked many times. Wake the fukk up they are at war with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are we winning the war against terrorism?
Answer in a word NO. Not when the most wanted man in the world for more than 3 years ($50,000,000 price on his head) can turn up looking none the worse for wear on every major network in the country talking about our president and pet goats. The Bush adminstration should be very embarassed by this tape as it points out how badly they have failed in the war against OBL. The tape is a confession by OBL for 9/11 but we are busy trying to pacify Iraq. Unbelievable.
