I'm calculating the many ways that his death will be used as deceiving propaganda to advance the cause of oppression and murder from his followers.

But his death will be a real setback to the propaganda associated with the war on terror.

To some. In which ways do you imagine it would be such?

Thanks. What I meant was that this administration has perfected the methods of garnering public support thru the use of fear. With a major face of fear dead, it will be much harder to pull up the poll numbers.

They just captured the guy who runs the group that had commited beheadings of Western captives too. The only thing that concerns me is that if it is true, maybe it will serve to rally his followers.

I have full confidence that the beast will rise again to take more innocents in the name of political leverage with or without OBL.

When does prudent warning in the face of clear danger become manipulation? Answer: When the other party shows no ability to secure our safety.

I never was afraid of OBL. He's simply a nutcase. His followers and "martyrs" are what I am afraid of.

So tell me, how did this administration garner my public support through fear? Are you telling me the administration had OBL manipulate stoopid uneducated moronic idiots into flying aircraft into the WTC? C'mon. This argument is ridiculous. 3000 dead and this administration has "perfected methods"? Sorry sir, this is a stoopid statement. About as stoopid as the followers of OBL.

What should the administration have done - attempt to gloss over the attack? Like in the first attack? Maybe just maybe, the WTC would still be standing had an overwhelming response been employed the first time.

What would YOU have done had you been the president? Exactly what would you have done? Show the creeps we had no fear and stopped all screening at airports. Prove to them that we are not scared by disbanding the boarder patrol, the USCG and the military? What would YOU have done?

If whatever it is was not tightening up security, immediately and profoundly, what would it be?

I don't know about how it will play, if true, into whomever's propoganda machine, if it will.

I've always known that OBL was not the sole source of terrorism. There have been numerous groups bent on the same goal as Al-Qaida has for the US for decades.

Concentrating solely on OBL is just plain stupid. Especially in light that he has been marginalized for the last several years.

Now, if I were into the propoganda thing I'd trot out a look alike and state that OBL is now in our custody when he turned himself in to seek medical treatment. After all, this is as much a media war as it is a traditional one.

Some good points there but there is a clear pattern of the admin. pulling out heightened terror alerts at politically expedient times.

It certainly would be a shame if the mofo died of natural causes.

I almost hope not, I was hoping CNN would pick up his bloody remians after a 2k pound bunker buster found him. It would be a shame if it was of natural causes or something else. But then again maybe a US bomb did kill him, we can only hope at this point.
