Bush says bin Laden tape aided re-election: report

Tue Feb 28, 9:47 AM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S.
President George W. Bush said his 2004 re-election victory over Sen.
John Kerry was inadvertently aided by
Osama bin Laden, who issued a taped diatribe against him the Friday before Americans went to the polls, The Examiner newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Bush said there were "enormous amounts of discussion" inside his campaign about the 15-minute tape, which he called "an interesting entry by our enemy" into the presidential race.

Bush's comments in the Washington newspaper were excerpts from the new book "Strategery" by Bill Sammon, a long-time White House correspondent.

"What does it mean? Is it going to help? Is it going to hurt?" Bush told Sammon of the bin Laden tapes. "Anything that drops in at the end of a campaign that is not already decided creates all kinds of anxieties, because you're not sure of the effect.

"I thought it was going to help," Bush said. "I thought it would help remind people that if bin Laden doesn't want Bush to be the president, something must be right with Bush."

=========================================================

Has it occurred to this brain dead man that osama intended to aid his re-election? I can't be lost on osama that bush has been very good for his purposes...
