The New Republic asks the question, “why no Bin Laden tape,” and comes to the conclusion that Osama would prefer McCain, but,
…in the final week or so before today’s election, Obama appeared to have a pretty insurmountable lead. Even if a bin Laden tape would have narrowed the margin, it probably wouldn’t have made a winner of McCain. In which case it would have exposed bin Laden to be kind of impotent.
Or, it could have something to do with the fact that Osama would rather not have to engage in a stand up fight, and prefers the US to practice Paper Tiger diplomacy, which is what you get with Obama. Osama will probably release a congratulatory tape if Barry wins.
BTW, I hate to agree with Andrew Sullivan, pains me like an icepick to the temple, but, really, couldn’t this kind of garbage wait till he at least takes office?
