Why did Osama Bin Laden want George Bush to win in 2004?

Question

You may remember that OBL released a video shortly before the election condemning George Bush. I seem to recall that he urged the American people not to return him to office. He had to know that the effect of this would be to help W, not hurt him.

Answer 1

Dubya is Bin Laden's greatest indirect ally. In fact the US Govt. has been a Bin Laden ally since the 1980s in Afghanistan in the war against the Soviets. Now with Bush sending even more troops into Iraq (not enough to win, just enough to rattle the Iraq cage a little more & get them really fired up) Al Qaeda will be getting even more on the job training. And if Bush invades Iran Bin Laden may get the entire Muslim world fighting the US which is exactly what he has wanted since 9/11.

Answer 2

The Bin Laden family and Bush family go way back. They have been buddies for several decades at least. It all has to do with contact in the OIL business. When W's business failed it was Bin Laden money that bailed him out.

Perhaps that is the reason OBL is still on the loose. To catch him we at least have to TRY. But we have focused (deliberately I might add) on Iraq so our minds are drawn away from OBL.

Answer 3

Does the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia mean anything? There are articles out there that state the Osama Bin Laden will be blamed for 9/11, this was prior to it even happening, and MOSSAD and the CIA were the ones to make the decisions. Bush knows right where he is and there is an agreement with the Royal family to not find him and exploit bin laden. There are payoffs too. Who do you think funds Blackwater, Bush, Cheney, Saudi interests, and Israel.

Answer 4

Nobody should listen to America's enemies in ANY way when it comes to elections. Some dumb people got it into their head that they should do the opposite of what the terrorists asked. That was a mistake also. If you keep on reversing the psychology, you get right back to where you started. We shouldn't trust the terrorists to tell us what is in their best interest, either by believing them or by taking it for granted they are lying. This should be obvious to any thinking person. I don't pretend to know what Bin Laden wants. I don't need his imput either directly or reversed.

Answer 5

Osama didn't want Bush OR Kerry to win in 2004. He only wants Al-Qaida to win. Voting in "unislamic" to nutjobs like him, and he wants everybody, including the US to convert to Islam or die!

FYI, Osama's agenda has nothing to do with the rest of the Bin Laden family, so anyone who uses a Bush-Bin Laden conspiracy theory to bash Bush is wasting bandwidth.

Answer 6

Osama wanted Bush to win because he understands that the war in Iraq makes al-Qaida more popular among Muslims. The longer the war lasts, the better for Osama.

Answer 7

He was trying to scare the American people into electing John Kerry, because he knew that Kerry's first move would be to get out of the Middle East altogether. After that was accomplished, OBL (or UBL) would have been able to go into Afghanistan and Iraq and take over.
