The only time OBL ever appears is before elections or when chimp is in big trouble.

My "Gut Feeling" tells me he is in trouble which also means we could all be in trouble. Now however you want to interpret that.....is up to you.

AGreed! He and Goering have the politics of fear down pat, don't they??
Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." Hermann Goering, Nazi
And here's a national hero who had his finger on the right pulse.
"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear — kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor — with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it." General Douglas MacArthur

Well very much so. Seems the only time we hear of a terrorist attack is when his ratings go down. Does that seem like a coincidence to anyone out there? Besides, the Bush's and Bin Laden's go way back. They're family friends that helped the Bush's get their start in the oil business if anyone actually googles up any old news articles.
But we all know how the corporate controlled media works spewing out propaganda. Repetition. Using the key words: TERRORISM, AL-QAEDA, NUKES, IRAQ, WAR, WMD'S, etc. Using all of these words in conjunction with various situations has transformed us into meek little fearing people afraid to step out of our own doors, begging for a big strong government to watch over us and protect us.
They play God so it makes us feel that we need them. Remember people we control them, not the other way around. Doesn't matter Left, Right, Dem, Rep, whatever. George Washington warned of having political parties hundreds of years ago. Here's a better philosophy for all of us to take into consideration. FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION.

Its so bizarre that people still fall for this nonsense. Its not even a new tape, its the same tape from years ago. Bin Laden is trotted out when the war is going bad and people start grumbling about withdrawing troops too loudly.

I don’t think Bush is “desperate” at all to get him out – he’s on the other end of that “Red Phone” and a key member of Bush’s “Kitchen Cabinet”.

And the videos are doctored using old footage from around the time of 9/11. The tricks are not really working anymore:

since you keep yourself so politically tuned, why in hell aren't you aware of the FACT that fear/terrorism is here...it is real, it is coming for us in some way and you'd be wise to keep tabs on this rather than OBL TV appearances!

They'll continue to resurrect Bin Laden's image even if they have to put a turban on the Crypt Keeper's head and call him a "very, very very, very, excruciatingly sick and feeble Bin Laden."

And why in the world would Bush have him reappear to remind the country he hasn't caught him yet?! I think you liberal chimps have been in the jungle to long!
