Osama bin Laden announced his endorsement: No One

Osama bin Laden made a new home video to discuss the U.S.'s election next week.

He denies the accusations of hating freedom. Yeah, right. He believes you're free to do anything you want, but he'll shoot you if it goes against the Koran.

Also, he seems to be endorsing the administration of former President George H. W. Bush. The translation was unclear. I think ObL was trying to confuse us with that one.

But I don't think that was his main point. His main point is he plans to kill us regardless of who wins the election: "Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al-Qaida. Each state that doesn't mess with our security has automatically secured their security." Maybe he prefers Nader. I don't really know.

Osama and his al-Qaida buddies are aware we're having an election on Tuesday. They read the newspapers. (They're probably even conducting polls and focus groups to predict the outcome.) Certainly, he's trying to affect the outcome of the election. But he can't just come out and ask us to vote for Candidate A or Candidate B because the typical American voter would vote for the candidate that he doesn't endorse (if we believed that's what he meant). Apparently, he's trying to say he's just as scared of Kerry as he is of Bush. I guess he doesn't miss his old pad in Afghanistan. Maybe the new cave has a pool. But I digress...

If you want evidence of who ObL would really endorse, I'd suggest you watch the "Kerry On Iraq" documentary that the Bush campaign produced. For example (from the transcript):

"I voted to threaten the use of force to make Saddam Hussein comply with the resolutions of the United Nations." (Sen. John Kerry, Remarks At Announcement Of Candidacy, Patriot’s Point, SC, 9/2/03)

...

"But the president and his advisors did not do almost anything correctly in the walk-up to the war. They rushed to war. They were intent on going to war. They did not give legitimacy to the inspections. We could have still been doing inspections even today, George." (ABC’s "This Week," 10/12/03)

If I were a terrorist, I'd vote for the man who's a dove because the hawk might send a missle into my current cave or bunker. I wouldn't be impressed by those who "vote to threaten the use of force" or "would still [be] doing inspections even today". I'd be afraid of the man who'd risk his chance of re-election by waging war against me and my terrorist neighbors.

By the way, Kerry want to give nuclear fuel to Iran. Iran is a member of both the "Axis of Evil" and OPEC. They don't need nuclear fuel for fuel. They want nuclear fuel for terrorism or war. If ObL is registered to vote (perhaps he votes by absentee ballot), he's voting for Kerry. Ten out of ten terrorists vote against Bush.
