Osama to the rescue! Again!
Every time bush gets in political trouble - either a convenient terrorist attack occurs or bin laden issues a new video tape.

Any one with a working brain knows how Bush benefits from this.

http://www.rbham.com/articles/02-04-16-osamatotherescue.htm

Since Al Jazeera's editorial content is run by the Saudi royal family, and they are closely allied to the Bush Crime Family, it's quite easy to relize that this latest bin Laden tape is designed to influence the election.

The Saudi Royal Family and the Bin Laden group want Bush re-selected.

He's good for business.

1. I think we can argue ad nauseam
whether this tape helps or hurts Bush. In my opinion, it is not a positive thing for Bush for the people to remember that OBL has not been captured or killed yet or that his name had almost disappeared from the papers, TV and the administration for almost 3 years.

2. Bush is stronger on security by 20 points...
This issue, brought up so emotionally a week before the election, will help Bush. Thete is no doubt.

Notice Bin laden referenced the Bush "Pet Goat" incident - so people will now associate the Left's criticism of Bush with bin Laden.
The Right will exploit this - watch and see.

Karl Rove's already sent out the talking points memorandum to his minions:

"A vote for Kerry, is a vote for bin Laden."

9. and Kerry can counter by saying...
"If Bush had captured OBL when he had the chance he wouldn't be around now making tapes but he didn't care were OBL was,he said so.".Bush may have an advantage with the sheep on security however not capturing Bin Laden is still a sore point,one Kerry hit Bush with during the debates.

8. for the "4,.0000000 time"
Stop trolling with this nonsense.

If you can't find a discussion of the tape on the news, then you're obviously stuck on the wrong channel.

10. Bush polls better on security...
The American people have been brainwashed into believing that Repugs are tougher on terrorism than Dems..

But don't believe just me...

Pat Buchanan and Gordon Liddy on MSNBC tonight, gleefully declared that this tape will help Bush's re-selection bid...

11. Al Jazeerah - Qatar Not Saudi
There's a strange relationship happening here, and different than the Saudi one when it comes to this quirky kingdom. We have our military headquarters (where Franks hung during the Invasion) right down the street from the network that is the most Anti-American in the region.

Al Jezeerah operates fairly autonmously, as does Al Aribiya, which comes from the nearby United Arab Emirates. These countries have a lot more in common with Kuwait than the Saudis and seem to have some interesting connections to the BFEE in its own right.

I wonder if Poppy Bush has promised Osama some of the commission money he'll get when the Carlisle group gets their Iraq debt deal done...and of course ZERO media reporting on this.

12. Qatar is a protectorate of Saudi Arabia...
Their government is like East Germany was to the Soviet Union. On a short leash.

13. The rigged voting machines...
They can now fix the election and have a plausible victory. The American people, we'll be told by Bill Schneider, decided to stick with the candidate that is perceived as stronger on scurity issues.

Not to mention that OBL brings up leftist criticism of Bush, like his reading My Pet Goat on 9-11, which can be spun by the right wing media like crazy! Michael Moore and Osama bin Laden think alike! See! Moore and other "loony" lefties are tools of the Islamic Jihadists! aha!

So predictable - and look at the reaction. democrats sounding like Fascists - "We'll KILL him! The War Of Terror is OUR cause too!"
Once again moving the Democratic Party further to the right and assuring that "leftist" thought can be stigmatized as "fringe"...

Please, people, wake the fuck up!
