If Bin Ladin releases another tape before the election, what would be the reaction?

[PlanetBev]

This is one miserable prick that doesn't like to be left out of the action, cave or no cave. I have never doubted that he wanted Bush to win four years ago, because Bush's agression fits right into his Jihad mindset. The tape was widely thought to have hurt Kerry.

Do you think Americans would react the same way they reacted in '04?

[Lerkfish]

1. I think Obama just points out how the Bush/mccain administration let him wander free

its what SHOULD have been said when Kerry was running. It MIGHT have been said in fact, I don't recall, but certainly it didn't get said forcefully enough.

2. If it happens

Obama needs to dredge up McLame saying he knows where to find him and how to get him... just to point out, very clearly, what a load of bullshit it is

14. Yep, since he's been using it to get people to vote for him....

why hasn't he shared that info, as suggested by KO.

3. I would hope not.

Hopefully, it would just show that after four more years of Republican rule we're no closer to catching the bastard.

Contrast the way Clinton handled the first WTC bombing - no unnecessary wars, and the perpetrators are now in federal prison.

4. It's not a question of if, but when

There will be a tape. There's zero chance there will not be one. So given that, I trust the Obama campaign is prepared for it.

5. Obama uses it as a reminder of how Bush failed in getting UBL.

6. Well this American....

Is expecting the Dubya will call bin Laden up to make the tape up just before the election. That should push McWhatever over the top :sarcasm:

7. Ho-hum

I don't think it would whip up the fear it did last time. I think it would be viewed with suspicion. BTW, I believe Bush and Co. were in cahoots with Osama in making that tape in 2004.

9. need to edit your post

[goodgd_yall]

13. Oh,,,I see it now

8. *yawn*

really.

yawn

[curious one]

10. it will work against McLame.

11. McCain will gain if Obama doesn't come out first and say that it is all McCain's fault

that Osama is still out there threatening America.

15. Even though Bin Ladin is dead ask McCain why his secret plan to catch him

is being withheld until after the election.
