Yeah I read an aricle saying bin laden would prefer Bush because he will continue to rush into Arab counries causing war, and hence create a backlash on the "arab street" creating a revolution in the middle east and creating Bin Laden's dream of a pan-arab super state.

It is a good theory, but even after invading Iraq, there has not been much movement in the "arab street: The princes in saudi arabia are still in clar control, Egypt has not burst into revolution. So I don't give much credit to this.

Bin Laden is hiding in some hole in the middle of tribal areas in Pakistan, he moves every day, and has a big target on his head.

Bin Laden was offered up on a silver plater to the last democrat President, but was turnd down. Do you really think Bin Laden thinks Kerry is tougher the Clinton?

It's a nice political issue but probably not relevant who bin laden would prefer anyway I guess.. Whoever wins will be doing their best and I'm sure You and most other Americans will get behind them.


Taking politics out of it though, and based on what the public has been able to see so far, even you must have some concern that Bin Laden could be taking this time to regroup and maybe the strategy has been worng?

Again I don't think it really should be an election issue, but if Kerry is elected I will actually have more hope that the world can escape from this war sooner than if Bush is re-elected.. but I also don't think it's about who is prepared to order bombs away faster.. it's simply who might find out a way to get the job done better and faster.. And on that score Kerry's decison making experience under fire would give me some of the faith in that president that you have in Bush now.
