Bin Laden Determined to Fuck with U.S. Election

Bin Laden's video was clearly timed for release just before the election, to throw a little thrill of fear into the electorate. Gee, I wonder which candidate would benefit from a heightened state of fear?

So our old nemesis is still out there, and still trying to mess with our heads. But he can only do that if we let him. As far as I am concerned, letting the fanatic change things in any way means, literally, that the terrorists have already won.

Anyway, I don't think this will have much impact on the election. Anyone who would be susceptible to a stunt like this is probably already in Bush's camp. A new terror attack — that might have changed things. But this just indicates that Osama's not up to pulling off another terror attack (yet).
