perhaps the reason bin laden released this tape so close to the election was because he was powerless to do anything else. maybe his infrastructure has been hurt so badly that he couldn't engineer another attack in time for the election making a video appearance the most influence he could muster at this particular time. now, hopefully this is on the right track and we won't have an attack in the near future... but if we don't i think such an explanation would be plausible. |
There was some other speculation about this in a couple of other stories I read....basically saying that offering "truces" and "guarantees of safety" were signs of someone who was nearly beaten.
I am not sure what to believe...I just wish they would catch the bastard.
