So your saying that Bush not catching bin Laden was more effective than bin Laden's taunting and threats to the American voter? I do believe that the taunting helped Bush and always have beleived it. But I would have helped him more to catch bin Laden.

It seemed to me - and I certainly could be reading what he wrote incorrectly - that he was suggesting some sort of conspirac, that Bush intentionally hadn't caught him yet so that the threat of terror would be more in the front of the minds of American voters. If my interpretation of what he is writing is correct, I think it is wrong. Catching bin Laden would of course been a bigger boost to his candidacy than threats from bin Laden.

Stunning, ain't it? Three years after promising to get Bin Laden (Dead or Alive!), dude gets a bump for being taunted by his sworn enemy.


It's as staggeringly unbelievable today as it was 16 months ago.
