for the titles, I am reading everything I can get my hands on. I do understand the economy/bankruptcy aspect - what I'm having to struggle with is the 2 sides of the *ush/OBL alliance? Some have sworn that they are still in an alliance, others say he was for Kerry to win the elections. I know OBL worked for the gov in the past, but seems to have 'gone off the reservation' (no slurs, I'm part Blackfoot - the term fits). I don't think *ush (& maybe others in the gov) want him caught - might bring too public an airing of dirty laundry. But at the same time I'm not sure that I, humm, okay - this is letting emotion enter where it probably shouldn't - I don't like to entertain the idea that he was more afraid of *ush than Kerry. Could he have thought that Kerry would bring a more balanced approach to our dealings w/the middle east? Or he just hates *ush enough to not care? Just wanted *ush to lose & didn't really care if it put our man in? Is OBL's war as much w/us as it is w/*ush? I'm at a loss to understand why he would want *ush to lose, as the video expresses to me. Others seem to have gotten the opposite impression, so mayhap I've missed something.

BTW - Feels nice, I think I've found the learning channel in this thread.
