There’s no question that Osama bin Laden would prefer a Bush victory to a Kerry victory. The man may be evil but he’s not crazy. Would Kerry have let him get away at Tora Bora? Would Kerry have launched an anti-American terrorist recruitment drive in Iraq? Would Kerry have alienated the entire world from the fight against Al Qaida and made bin Laden a more popular figure in the Arab world than the president of the United States? (Saddam Hussein, too, by the way.) And would Kerry have starved homeland security to fight a counterproductive war, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the next attack? But what I don’t understand is, why is Cheney admitting all this?
When you look at it that way, the more convinced I am that “Osama been Forgotten” is Bush’s real running mate.
