Osama Plays The Middle

Osama has reared his ugly head again. This time with a twist. By poo-pooing both Bush and Kerry while attempting to intimidate the American people, Bin Laden is going for the win-win scenario. No matter who wins, he can attempt to take credit. If Bush wins, Osama can say that Bush is his choice to fight, that Americans, by electing Bush, are sealing their own fate. If Kerry wins, Osama can say that the Americans cowered and caved in to the terrorist's demands.
In other words, Osama is playing a public relations game: Get publicity and then take credit for whatever happens. It's actually pretty smart. It will not wash in the US, but martyr wannabees will eat it up. Of course, I know this because I know everything. And you know it's true because you have now seen it on the web.
