Bin Laden for Bush

Now here is a consiracy theory for you, Bin Laden surported Bush in 2004. Not some conspiracy that Bush was secretly playing Bin Laden behind everybodies back in an awesome display of cunning and razor sharp intelegence. That would be crazy, this is a guy that cannot count up to his own IQ number. No Bin Laden is playing Bush:

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.

And it worked, after bin-Laden's message Bush suddenly managed to claw a lead in the polls. This does have a kind of logic to it, after all as a global revolutionary leader why wouldn't you want your most powerful opponent to be run by a guy that would lose a general knowledge contest with an Aubergine.
