I cannot emphasize this point enough, if you voted for George W. Bush in 2004 you were doing Osama Bin Laden's bidding.

On Oct. 29, 2004, just four days before the U.S. presidential election, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin-Laden released a videotape denouncing George W. Bush. Some Bush supporters quickly spun the diatribe as “Osama’s endorsement of John Kerry.” But behind the walls of the CIA, analysts had concluded the opposite: that bin-Laden was trying to help Bush gain a second term.

This stunning CIA disclosure is tucked away in a brief passage near the end of Ron Suskind’s The One Percent Doctrine, which draws heavily from CIA insiders. Suskind wrote that the CIA analysts based their troubling assessment on classified information, but the analysts still puzzled over exactly why bin-Laden wanted Bush to stay in office.

But the CIA analysts also felt that bin-Laden might have recognized how Bush’s policies – including the Guantanamo prison camp, the Abu Ghraib scandal and the endless bloodshed in Iraq – were serving al-Qaeda’s strategic goals for recruiting a new generation of jihadists.

“Certainly,” the CIA’s Miscik said, “he would want Bush to keep doing what he’s doing for a few more years,” according to Suskind’s account of the meeting.

As their internal assessment sank in, the CIA analysts drifted into silence, troubled by the implications of their own conclusions. “An ocean of hard truths before them – such as what did it say about U.S. policies that bin-Laden would want Bush reelected – remained untouched,” Suskind wrote.

One immediate consequence of bin-Laden breaking nearly a year of silence to issue the videotape the weekend before the U.S. presidential election was to give the Bush campaign a much needed boost. From a virtual dead heat, Bush opened up a six-point lead, according to one poll.

I am going to continue to post about this until I am sure that even the most hard-line Bush supporters understand exactly what their vote has wrought in the world. This is no longer about idealogical differences here at home. It is not about increasing taxes, or conservative vs liberal points of view, this is about putting an incompetent person into the most powerful office in the world and allowing him to systematically destroy our country.

If Bin Laden, who nobody accuses of being stupid, was able to recognize that he was better served by keeping Bush as the President of the United States then what does that tell us?

And if Bin Laden can influence our political system with a simple video tape then haven't we lost control of our process? And if the Republicans used underhanded tactics to influence the outcome of the 2004 election then do we not currently have a pretender as our President?

If our votes did not choose him, but instead allowed Republican criminals and international terrorists place him in office, then why do we continue to allow him to stay in the White House? He is a fraud, a charlton, a pretender, but he is not the President.

Why do you think the other leaders of the world act as if he is inconsequential? Why does North Korea's Kim Jong Il flaunt his disrespect in George Bush's face? Why does Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad act with impunity when the Untied States demands that he complies with their demands. Nobody respects a man who did not earn his office.

The world knows that George Bush is a fraud and they treat him accordingly. As long as he remains in office he diminishes our nation. So what do we do about it?
