Who is Al-Qaida backing in '04?
If * is good for growing the terrorism business (ok so maybe * can create jobs) will the terrorists do what they can to get * re-elected?

Iranian hostage takers sure didn't help Carter's re-election efforts.

It's not too much of a stretch to think Osama and Saddam prefer having * at the helm. They must be giddy with the prospect of bleeding America dry without having to deal with that pesky Tom Ridge and Homeland Security.

1. Really interesting scenario...
Watch out for Saudi money being laundered into Dubya's campaign somehow or another....

I can see Dubya's new campaign slogan:

Vote Bush or the Terrorists Win! :evilgrin:

2. You're right--Geo Bush, of course
He's done everything they wanted him too. Went after ObL and bizarrely SH with everything he's got, and they are running free and thumbing their noses at the American war machine.

BushCo. -- they're nothing if not predictable. Arabs know we're a paper tiger now.

4. LOL, I'm pretty sure Osama isn't "running free"
... I'm pretty sure that bastard and his ilk that attacked us unprovoked, is living in fear and hiding in a smelly, damp and dark cave somewhere (God, please say it's so).

... That is if he wasn't turned into a grease spot with a JDAM first!

3. Hi, Kidney, good question.
If Osama wanted the US to alienate most of the rest of the world, he succeeded and will continue to succeed if * is reelected.

5. Bin Ladin and BFEE are Joined at the Hip
Did anybody in the world except Bush and his friends benefit from 9/11?

6. Well, let's see. The Taliban is reorganizing in Afghanistan (and
elsewhere), Americans are regularly 'terrorized' (mostly by our own "homeland security" dumbshits), there's no improvement in U.S. port security and little improvement for airlines, OBL and Saddam (along with Dick Cheney) are in "undisclosed locations", our economy is in the toilet, 3 million jobs gone, the Iraqis are fed up with us occupying their country and 75% of the people on the planet think America is a
hegemonic, warmongering bully...

What more could have the "terists" have wanted?

7. They work for Bush, don't they?
I know they used to. Aren't they still on the payroll?

8. But remember that the Republicans made a deal with Iran to hold the
hostages until after the election so Carter would lose. So they definitely helped the Republicans win the prize. Republicans and terrorists work together very well!
