Also from the NY Post, L.A. Police Chief William Bratton comments on rumors that Obama Bin Laden may be planning an "October Surprise". Just thinking about the notion, I have to wonder what Osama could possibly do that would be in his interest. It seems to me that any move he makes that brings him to public attention would work against the election of the candidate most likely to call off the dogs. But maybe what I think is in Osama's best interest isn't what Osama thinks is in Osama's best interest.
If Bin Laden wants to engineer a late-October surprise in 2008, an attack on a significant American economic target may be one of the most tempting opportunities he has had in recent years. One of his goals on 9/11 was to undermine our markets; he has bragged of what he calls the "success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan." Given our current financial turmoil, Bin Laden may believe that a strike against the U.S.could push our economy over the edge.....Bin Laden is likely to believe that a President John McCain - who has jokingly sung of bombing Iran and who championed the troop surge in Iraq - is more likely to engender Muslim anger and resentment than would his opponent. Indeed, international polls, including those in Muslim countries, show striking support for Barack Obama.
Put simply: Bin Laden probably realizes it could become markedly more difficult to paint the United States as the "Great Satan" with a new President who is admired internationally. The remaining 14 days before the elections should be seen as a time of high threat, and state and local police should be on high alert. With so much at stake in these elections, Bin Laden will probably attempt to make his opinion count.
So Obama may think he's better off having an obvious enemy to point at, and will take steps to make sure such a figure remains in the White House.
In "The Usual Suspects", Kevin Spacey notes, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." When I look to the comments on this piece, I see a number of people claiming that Osama Bin Laden doesn't exist -- if, indeed, he ever did.
Excuse me while I hurl. How many times are we going to roll out the old Osama Trick? He's been dead for years. My biggest fear comes frome the current administration and their handlers. Bush has done what Osama couldn't deam of.----Bin Laden, Bin Laden, Bin Laden, Stop complaining about the man that Bush allowed to get away, and John McCain said, he knows where he is and how to get him, but won't tell unless you give him the White House. Bin Laden did not affect the election in 2004. Bush was re-elected because people who wanted him in office had henchmen who put out a phony tape/message in order to continue their control over the American people and maipulate voting. The war on drugs The war on terror The war on illegal immigration All games and lies, to manipulate, control, and viloate the constitutional rights of American citizens. We became the USRA (United Socilist Republic of America) a long time ago, and most certainly in 2002 when Bush took our families and fellow Americans into a phony war and keep us there using fear. When American citizens demand their constitutional rights, or protest the war, the administration covert operatives drop a phony Bin Laden tape or message into the mmedia here or the media in one of our allied countries to keep us in line, take away our rights, and keep us in fear. Keeping us at war with anyone or anything is very profitable for companies that are connected to the small group of very rich very powerful people that really run this country. Thank you----roflmao with brooklyn i was thinking the same thing. honestly though i think bin laden is dead and the bush administration has been using look alikes to make those tapes that come out every few months. i mean if saddam had 5 look alikes to fool his enemies why not bin laden----The funny part is we dont even know if he is alive Regardless Obama is a joke
