BUSH NOW ADMITS BIN LADEN HELPED HIM BEAT JOHN KERRY

**Exclusive**

President Bush now says his 2004 victory over Sen. John Kerry, who is mulling a comeback in 2008, was inadvertently aided by al Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

And Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, who steadfastly refused to defend Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth when he ran Bush’s campaign, now calls them “heroes” who played a crucial role in vanquishing Kerry.

Bill Sammon, Senior White House Correspondent for the WASHINGTON EXAMINER, scores another exclusive for Tuesday editions with explosive excerpts from his new book, STRATEGERY.

For the first time, the president says he was helped by bin Laden, who put out a videotaped diatribe against Bush the Friday before the 2004 election.

Bush said there were “enormous amounts of discussion” inside his campaign about the 15-minute tape, which he called “an interesting entry by our enemy” into the presidential race.

“What does it mean? Is it going to help? Is it going to hurt?” he said in an exclusive interview for the new book STRATEGERY. “Anything that drops in at the end of a campaign that is not already decided creates all kinds of anxieties, because you’re not sure of the effect.

6. I know I shouldn't feel this way...but...

christ. It's Drudge! I can't take one thing he says as veracious and discount the rest.

[alarcojon]

11. No, you should feel that way

Drudge is an idiot, and I won't believe anything he says without confirmation from a real source.

That being said, what Drudge is "reporting" here is practically self-evident.

9. BinLaden "inadvertently aided" Bush? Au contraire - quite intentional.

BinLaden knew exactly what he was doing. By appearing on video, OBL understood that he would steer average voters to the perceived 'safety' of Bush. In this way, OBL ensured that the US would "stay the course" in Iraq... see, BinLaden understands that W's failed policies are Al Queda's best recruiting tool.

12. I love how Bush considers this a compliment...

Of course Laden wanted Bush to win. Bush is the best thing to ever happen for his movement. 8 more years!

[TOhioLiberal]

13. Gee...

...No shit, Sherlock! :eyes: Since you probably asked him to do the tape...:grr:

[Disturbed]

14. Osama bin Laden is a Republican.

He is part of the team.

15. Kerry won in a landslide

He didn't lose to bad campaign, Bin Laden, the moral majority (ha ha), none of it. He won. Period.
