GOP to Air Ad Warning of Terror Attacks
So, is the GOP scaring us......or warning us?
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican Party will begin airing a hard-hitting ad this weekend that warns of more cataclysmic terror attacks against the U.S. homeland.
The ad portrays Osama bin Laden and quotes his threats against America dating to February 1998. "These are the stakes," the ad concludes. "Vote November 7."
Brian Jones, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said the ad would run on national cable beginning Sunday, but he declined to discuss specifics of the buy. [...]
The ad displays an array of quotes from bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, that include bin Laden's Dec. 26, 2001 vow that "what is yet to come will be even greater."
The ad is also featured on the RNC's Web site. The party said the ad, called "The Stakes," will be e-mailed to millions of GOP supporters, activists and the state parties.
[update]Here's the ad. It's absolutely insane (thanks jon)

Scaring us with Osama...
And then capturing him before the election?

hmmmmm....
pretty good guess jon.
But do you think it'd work? Would people buy that?
Maybe just enough would buy it in the Red districts, helping the GOP to stop a landslide, and maybe even save the House...
Capture...
Or kill... I don't think he's alive.

However...
Capturing or killing Osama, in Pakistan, would also improve Pakistan's image... which is faltering BIG TIME.

Osama is long dead,
Osama is long dead, otherwise we'd see all kinds of crystal clear videos of him like before 9/11.
Come to think of it...
You're probably right. He could make a f_cking hour long movie if he was alive. I know I would if I was the notorious and deadly and evil Osama Bin Laden.

In regards to the elections...
I think it's very possible that both sides have to do JUST ENOUGH, and then let the machines take over... there are people who watch elections very closely...
Killing Osama Bin Laden might just do it.

Simplistic, yet effective PR strategy, isn't it?
