A question about Osama and his video production company
"TPM Reader RT wonders ...

'At some point, in the vast TPM Media empire, you need to start taking bets on when the OBL video will be released. I'm thinking the Friday morning before the election. That will suck all the air out of the Sunday shows and put the kibosh on the Dem Wave story. You know OBL is coming. He has to. He hasn't sat out an election since he bombed the Cole. The only question is will it mobilize the base more than piss the Dem Wave off more?'

Sounds right to me. Clearly, Osama can't keep a regular video taping operation going while he's on the run or living in that duplex in Quetta or the brownstone in Karachi. But he does seem to be able to put out video clips at key moments on the Jihadist version of youtube. So when does it drop?"

This entry by Josh Marshall got me thinking: why did Osama bin Laden only start his video production company AFTER 9/11/01? I mean, he was a terr'ist of great stature BEFORE 9/11, what with the Cole, and the embassy bombings... how come we never saw a video by/of him BEFORE 9/11??
And how is it that he only seems to turn up around the time of American elections?
