Stop for a minute with the Osama tape "speculation."

I don't give a rat's ass what it means to the poll numbers.
When I see his face on my tv all I think about is that awful day when 3,000 innocent people went to work like any other day and never came home.

It makes me even more furious with george bush for diverting attention away from getting that bastard by going into Iraq. I did not think it was possible to resent bush more than I did.

I just hope the rest of my fellow Americans feel the same way.
May OBL burn in hell.

1. I agree, the problem is idiots will use it to rally around asshole

2. EXACTLY. The Osama tape reminds everyone that Bush didn't...

...care enough to follow through on his promise to find him.

3. Never(once?) during the convention

rarely in the debates(Bush practically choked on it) did they ever mention the NAME. It is not a plus for Bush. OBL sounds equally constrained and powerless.

4. It's a real toss-up

On the one hand, it feeds into the bogey-man "fear, FEAR, FEAR!!" mantra that the repugs have been drumming into all of the sheeple's brains.

On the other hand, this is the guy that Kerry had to keep reminding Shrub about as the REAL enemy -- not Saddam, who was for all intents and purposes had been defused.

However, the recent promise of jets to Pakistan at the cost of infuriating the Indian community(Indian Times), makes one believe the pressure is on Pakistan to do something.

And now the video sneaks out from the cordon or signal jamming?

I think speculation is in order.
