So...
Osama threatens to attack any state that votes for Bush, and we're supposed to think that since he's threatening anyone who votes for Bush that he must not like Bush, when in all actuality he likes Bush.

Since bin Laden wants us to think that he doesn't like Bush, we're supposed to think that he must not like Bush and would therefore vote for Bush just to spite bin Laden?

That's so crazy, and yet it worked! We fell right into his dastardly plot! That tricky, tricky, bastard! Why, I have a half a mind to call for another election!

But it does answer the question of why AQ attacked the WTC and the Pentagon. Answer: Because NY and the county where the Pentagon lies voted Democrat.

I wonder, is everything else BL has told us contrary to his real goals or does he only whip out his secret weapon in national elections? Did Spain go against BL's wishes when she pulled her troops out of Iraq? When BL offered a truce with Europe, did he actually just want continued hostilities, which really aren't his goal? Are the "blue states" in America safe now because we did what BL actually wanted us to do?

BTW, I wonder, since you're so convinced that bin Laden and al Queda have this reverse psychology thing so down pat, was that missive from Zarqawi last week just another ploy? Was he telling the Muslim clerics that he was angry at them for not calling more Muslims to die? Or, was he just saying that so that they wouldn't and he really wants to give up?
Better question still: How many Fruit-Loops box tops do you have to collect before you get your free issue of "Conspiracy Quarterly"?
