I think that Bin Laden is smart enough and well informed enough to realize that U.S. policy in Iraq is going to be basically the same under Bush or Kerry. Certainly there will be differences, but overall, U.S. Mid-East policy will remain Iraeli-centric. He, IMO, is using our election to amplify his message and frankly, it sickens me. I don't think we will ever truly know what Bin Laden's goal was, but I think we can agree that he needs to be (and should already have been) removed.
I think that the real crime is that for the last few days of OUR election,we will be talking about OBL rather that the differences between the two candidates.
