The New Bin Laden Tape

From CNN:

Osama bin Laden delivered a new videotaped message in which he told Americans their security does not depend on the president they elect, but on U.S. policy. "Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al Qaeda," bin Laden said in the video aired on the Arabic language network Al-Jazeera.

Hate to say this, but on this one point, bin Laden may be correct. I don't think our security hinges on just who is president. If John Kerry is elected next Tuesday, nothing gets magically fixed.

But it's a start. It's a start.
