Wait! Let me see if I've got this right...

It provides people so inclined with the amunition to say "this wouldn't have happened if we weren't in Iraq." It's a play to impact elections, nothing more.
So you're saying that Bin Laden wants to influence elections so that governments that are less likely to hunt him down (hound, harrass, whatever...) are put into place?

It's a sign of Bin Laden laughing at us as we help him change the face of geopolitics to something that's clearly a lot less harassing of him.
Ok. Just making sure.

The worst thing that could happen for Bin Laden is for Bush to loose this election. He'd loose the predictible heavy handed thug he needs to persue this strategy with the rest of the world.
Um... What's the difference between Bin Laden manipulating other nations into electing governments that wont harass him, and manipulating the US into doing the same? It would seem to me that getting someone other then Bush elected would be a huge win for Bin Laden.
At least if that's a "win" for him in Europe, then it would be a "win" for him here as well.
Just verifying that you're basically saying that a vote for Kerry is a vote for Bin Laden... ;)

I imagine Al Queda's allready found some way to funnel money to the Democrats to try to ensure a Kerry victory.
FTFY Smashie.
Oh wait! They don't have to funnel money to the Democrats. Just count on their own lack of being able to see the big picture to do it for him.
I just find it amazing that you can clearly see the manipulation of Bin Laden in Europe, but don't see that you're falling for the exact same thing here in the US. But I'm just a partisan hack. What do I know?
