What Comes To Pass

The only endorsement that matters

Osama Bin Laden (or a voice double with old footage) just threw out his own October surprise an attack on George W Bush in what seems to be an attempt to cripple his election prospects.

Osama Bin Laden just effectively endorsed John Kerry. Well if there ever was a campaign killer for the democratic hopeful, this looks to be it. It would be unfair for Kerry to be pulled down here but fairness has little to do with Al Qaeda’s activities.

How stupid do you have to be to believe the American people are going to listen to you when you try to destabilize or influence their election? It’s like poking a bear with a stick. America is not Spain and will ultimately react differently. It’s citizenry cannot be bought, or threatened or goaded on with false promises of security because they’ve held true to their principled “Never Forget” policy for 3 years now - they’re not about to discard that maxim now. The American people know exactly that Osama bin Laden stands for and more importantly, what he murders for.

UPDATE: Ann Althouse at Instapundit.com wants to know why people aren’t talking about how sickly Osama bin Laden looks. I’m more interested in why no one’s talking about how much he looks like the ‘Swedish Chef’ from The Muppet Show.

In addition:

Bin Laden suggested Bush was slow to react to the Sept. 11 attacks, giving the hijackers more time than they expected. At the time of the attacks, the president was listening to schoolchildren in Florida reading a book.

“It never occurred to us that the commander-in-chief of the American armed forces would leave 50,000 of his citizens in the two towers to face these horrors alone,” he said, referring to the number of people who worked at the World Trade Center.

See Mr Moore, when Osama bin Laden is parroting your fallacious ‘arguments’ - you have a pretty good measure of exactly how much they’re worth.
