Osama's back and stumping for Kerry

Vote for Kerry or die. Or something

Excerpt:

It is important to notice what he has stopped saying in this speech.
He has stopped talking about the restoration of the Global Caliphate.
There is no more mention of the return of Andalusia. There is no more
anticipation that Islam will sweep the world. He is no longer boasting
that Americans run at the slightest wounds; that they are more cowardly
than the Russians. He is not talking about future operations to swathe
the world in fire but dwelling on past glories. He is basically saying
if you leave us alone we will leave you alone. Though it is couched in
his customary orbicular phraseology he is basically asking for time out.

The American answer to Osama's proposal will be given on Election Day.
One response is to agree that the United States of America will
henceforth act like Sweden, which is on track to become majority Islamic
sometime after the middle of this century. The electorate best knows
which candidate will serve this end; which candidate most promises to be
European-like in attitude and they can choose that path with both eyes
open. The electorate can strike that bargain and Osama may keep his
word. The other course is to reject Osama's terms utterly; to recognize
the pleading in his outwardly belligerent manner and reply that his
fugitive existence; the loss of his sanctuaries; the annihilation of his
men are but the merest foretaste of what is yet to come: to say that to
enemies such as he, the initials 'US' will always mean Unconditional
Surrender.

Osama has stated his terms. He awaits America's answer.

I say:

Osama's been out of action for a few years, probably recuperating
from injuries in the more lawless parts of Pakistan. But he's back, and
he's telling us how to vote. Maybe he thinks we're Spaniards or something.

Wretchard has him pegged. He's evil but not stupid. If he thought he
were winning, he wouldn't bother trying to influence the election. He'd
just attack us. In fact. he'd have attacked us several times by now.
He knows our weakness, and that weakness is John F. Kerry, Lickspittle
of Massachusetts. The only question is will a majority of voters be
dumb enough to fall for such a clumsy attempt at arm twisting?

(Walter Cronkite thinks this latest Osama video is a Karl Rove scam.
Well, maybe he was kidding.)
