Bush Used Bin Laden Tape To Scare Up Some Votes

Talk about the tail wagging the dog. President Bush said that Osama Bin Laden may have inadvertently helped him become President over John Kerry. There was an audio tape released by Bin Laden just prior to Election Day, President Bush had to make a snap decision on whether to release the tape or not, he did choose to release the taped message.

President Bush stated, “I thought it would help remind people that if Bin Laden doesn’t want Bush to be the president, something must be right with Bush.” Is this the truth or did Bin Laden enter the tape to assure that Bush would be President for four more years so that the rat could steal that much more cheese from the misguided cat? This argument has more potential spin than a game of tops between Karl Rove and James Carville.

Was Bin Ladens’ taped message a bonus for Bush or for Bin Laden? What was the real intent of the message? Bush is trying to spin the win as a positive in his direction but many say that Bin laden may hold a personal grudge against Bush but professionally he feels confident President Bush will not hamper his goals and ideals for his form of terrorism. Therefore, these individuals say the tape was a plant to assure Bin Laden that he would face what he considers inferior competition for the next four years.

President Bush has stated that his 2004 re-election victory over Senator John Kerry was unintentionally assisted by Osama bin Laden, this is according to a Washington Examiner article reported Tuesday.

A tape was delivered that contained Osama bin Laden going off on a rant and rave denunciation of President Bush and his Administration the Friday before Americans went to the polls in 2004. President Bush confided that there were enormous amounts of discussion inside his campaign about the 15-minute tape, but they eventually allowed its release.

Bush went on to say he thought the decision to release the tape would be beneficial to his campaign. Does this mean we were unnecessarily threatened and afraid to assure the Republicans of a few more votes? Did Bush actually utilize Osama in a symbiotic way? Can such a religious man justify using such glorious gift from the devil?

I also want to know, in regards to this tape fiasco, who is zooming who? Was the tape a legitimate rant against Bush or was it Bin Ladens way of trying to outfox the American public?
