a) After months of hoping that bin Laden is dead this shows that he is still alive.
b) Osama is threatening more US deaths.
c) It knocked negative stories about Bush off of the headlines.
The answer of course is C. The left has been equating Bush and bin Laden for some time. This indicates that they think that Bush is worse.
Someone at Kos must not have a tin ear. The quote about "bad, very bad" vanished between Friday afternoon and now.
Osama must have seen F911 or at least read an except. He refers to Bush sitting in the classroom while a student reads from "My Pet Goat".
It never occurred to us that the commander in chief of the American forces would leave 50,000 citizens in the two towers to face those horrors alone at a time when they most needed him because he thought listening to a child discussing her goat and its ramming was more important than the planes and their ramming of the skyscrapers. This gave us three times the time needed to carry out the operations, thanks be to God. . .
Osama must have lost something in the translation. He seems to think that Bush spent an hour in the classroom instead of 5-7 minutes and he seems to think that the WTC needed Bush's order to evacuate.
Maybe he's wearing his turban too tight.
What is the real story on the missing explosives? Who knows? Some reports say that half the explosives were gone before the war started. Some say that only three tons were present. Some footage shows something but the numbers of the seals are wrong and the markings on the barrels imply a different type of explosive. The Army has removed some materials and disposed of them from the site but they have not located the records yet to see what was included.
This means that the NYT and CBS stories were premature. So was Kerry's attack about incompetance.
Of course if things had gone as CBS planned the story would not have run yet and all of the following revalations would have come out after the election.
I hope that this is the last October Surprise.
