Most folks will listen to media spin re: bin Laden, not bin Laden himself
The important thing is to spin the media towards the fact that he is alive, and away from any "Osama wants . . . " discussions.

1. Then stop complaining, and SPIN IT BACK!
Cheney said the other day that if John Kerry had his way, Saddam Hussein would still have these weapons -- and of course, the weapons would still be under UN lock and key.

Well, Bush GOT his way and now that we have PROOF that OBL is alive, the explosives may be in OSAMA's hands.

So is Bush saying it is better for Osama to have the explosives and be on the run where he can kill Americans than it is for Saddam to have the explosives and have them constantly being monitored by the U.N.?

3. Why didn't the Republicans talk about bin Laden during the RNC?
Kerry needs to mention bin Laden and threaten bin Laden at every turn.

Time to be macho.

2. Which is why Kerry should say something definitive
"George Bush has spent time and resources on Iraq that should have been used to go after al Qaeda specifically!" or something like that

4. We need to control the media on this.
If they continue to talk about this.

Kerry needs to get the media off this topic--it's just a damn tape.
