BC04: Bin Laden tape a "gift"

From the "Willing to do anything in a craven attempt to hold on to power" files comes this gem:

"We want people to think 'terrorism' for the last four days," said a Bush-Cheney campaign official. "And anything that raises the issue in people's minds is good for us."

A senior GOP strategist added, "anything that makes people nervous about their personal safety helps Bush."

He called it "a little gift," saying it helps the President but doesn't guarantee his reelection.

So what do the deaths of 8 Marines in Iraq yield? A party?
