New Bin Laden Tape Surfaces

An anonymous submitter writes "Osama bin Laden delivered a new videotaped message in which he told Americans their security does not depend on the president they elect, but on U.S. policy. 'Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al Qaeda.'"

Unfortunately the impact will almost certainly benefit the Bushites.

Actually given the content of the message, I don't think it'll have much impact except to remind people that bin Laden is still alive in spite of Bush promising to 'get him dead or alive' then later saying 'I'm not that concerned with him'. Folks will naturally wonder if we would have gotten him if Bush didn't detour us into Iraq.

Re:Not helping

[Anarcho-Goth]

I don't think terrorist backing will help the Kerry campaign as much as bin Laden seems to think it will.

Maybe he doesn't think it will help Kerry.
Don't you think he would have considered that anything seemingly pro-Kerry from him would help Bush?

Maybe he really wants Bush to win because so far he has remained safe and sound with Bush in charge.

I bet Osama is hiding under a bridge.

I bet he's in a disco in Germany.
