| In his pre-election message, Osama bin Laden did his best to persuade the American people to cast their ballots for John Kerry. But the 9/11 mastermind's bizarre video may have exactly the opposite affect. In fact, says political guru Dick Morris in his New York Post column, bin Laden's tape "should seal this election for Bush." "Combined with recent statements by Putin and from officials in the Arafat compound," Morris says, "the terrorist's intervention in our election should make one point quite clear: The terrorists are afraid of Bush and would much rather see him out of office." Even the increasing activity by Iraqi insurgents, he warns, is a bid to elect Kerry: "Every day's escalation of violence in Iraq sends the same message. These goons are not trying to influence the Iraqi elections in January. They want to impact the U.S. elections tomorrow. They want Bush out." |
