A video or audio tape, that is.

If he does, this either plays into the hands of a man who has always prided himself on being foriegn-policy based: McCain, or it plays into the hands of a man who has stressed that the Administration has diverted resources from Afghanistan and has failed to capture the leader of Al-Qaeda.

Truthfully UW, I just want this freakin contest to end already. All this speculation (including speculation about Bin Laden) just makes me want to go on an alcoholic bender. It just seems Election Day can't get here fast enough. ... Maybe I won't feel this whiny later today. :(

For the record though, my answer on your survey was that no tape will show up.

Going out on a limb here, but me thinks that Osama is either...

a) dead

b) living the good life outside of some Paki cave.

His organization has kinda endorsed the McSame campaign.

No need for more fraudulent tapes.

He and the US beat the Russians once before by bankrupting an economy...Deja Vu?
 
Isn't there the rumor that Osama spoiled the 2004 election, coming
out with a new reminder just some days before the 2004 election?

So yes, could be that he may show up - but I doubt he will endorse
an enemy, no matter what ... or who.
 
Osama bin Jesus II will surface briefly on Wall Street in a ray of light to present a short slideshow on how the practice of Islamic banking would have prevented the US financial meltdown.

If you have not noticed, X Box is pretty much a smart ass, and ,frankly, is not a credit to Obama supporters.

As to the question, yeah, Osama will probably release some kind of a tape just before the election he did in 2004, and will be denounced by both candidates.
 
No but it looks like his friends the Taliban are doing that in Afghanistan. Osama is scared of Obama.

I hesitate to do this but it isn't always a racist insult. Sometimes it is just a shorter version of Pakistani. Australian usage is like this but I don't know what it is in the US.

I would have to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.

No, it isn't, generally. I first learned that it was considered a racial epithet on the Internet, for example. Now, this is almost certainly an effect of my not living in an area with a significant Pakistani demographic. Apparently those who do just assume that everyone else is aware of these linguistic nuances. I'm sure there are places in the US with large numbers of Pakistani migrants where it is recognized as such, however.

The fact that XBoxWarrior was using the word to describe a cave as belonging to a certain country, and not to label a person, leads me to believe that he was just abbreviating the name of the country.
 
If he is ever going to show up on the matter of the US presidential election, then the best odds is that he is going to speak in order to support Obama. Because like this Obama will be definitively associated whit the Terrorist in the publics minds. And so consequentially tip out the scale to McCain side. Of course McCain is one heart beat away for President Palin. Palin once whit her hands on the power will must likely ban some books (we know witch) and so screwing up whit the education. Since she already showed to be willing to stab some international affairs (and step on the toes of the UN), it will be only a matter of time until another mistake is done to screw over America.
While the United States plunges back to the stone age, Mr. Bin will be out partying how his planed worked better then he intended.

Of course this is just a speculation, nothing of this may happen, but if it does I will be contemplating how generalized stupidity screwed over millions of people.
 
It is speculation that former US super devil, Osama bin Laden, is even alive.
 
OBL is probably dead or we'd have seen a lot more video of him.

Actually, he would be right. Interest is killing the working people.

I do not think he would want to intercede, because he cannot be sure which way it would push the election. He does not want Obama to win, because he knows McCain and Palin are inept, and probably realizes that most people with any savvy in defense matters have, by now, figured out that Republicans just do not have what it takes to actually fight a war.

But, if he appears to support Obama, the "Muslim" BS will flare up again, and the country will be even more eager to go to war in force against all Muslim countries that do not do obesience to us. ObL cannot afford that, either.

The word doesn't seem to have the came cultural baggage in the US as it does in the UK.
Note to Americans, to British eyes XBoxWarrior's sentence was culturally equivalent to saying that Osama was living in some "N_____ cave"

Off topic but that is something that has always puzzled me.
In Australia Kooris get insulted if you call them Abos. Paki is an insult.
But these are just contractions.
It should follow if Abo and Paki are offensie then Aborigine and Pakistani would be equally offensive. But they are not. A lot of people I grew up with in Australia were completely puzzled the first time and Aboriginal took them to task for calling them an Abo. "We call ourselves Aussies, a contraction of Australians, whats the difference?" was the most common response.
Especially in Australia where contracting names is so common that my parents made sure all their kids had first names with only one syllable.
Why? Because any name with more than one will be cut down to one and have an o or a added to the end. First and last names.
Robert, Roberts or Robertson? Congratulations, your name is now Robbo. Any variation of David? Davo. Anything starting with Mc or Mac? You are now Macca.

Funnily enough New Zealanders never minded us calling them Kiwis as much as Aboriginals and Pakistanis get bent out of shape over legitimite contractions.\

As an aside to the aside the theory I always subscribed to over the shortening of names was simple. The less syllables you had to say, the less time you had for flies to get in your mouth.
