Miscalculation

Osama is alive. We all knew that. He endorses Kerry. Well, maybe not directly, but you get the point. Bin Laden miscalculated terribly when he thought that his attack of the Twin Towers and Pentagon would break American resolve. And he’s miscalculating again if he thinks that he can bring about the defeat of George Bush by appearing on the eve of the election. Terrorist mastermind, perhaps. Political genius, I think not.
