The messages from Osama and his ilk for some reason reminded me of the south park flag episode; basicly in the episode the kkk wants the flag to stay the same, but jimbo makes them realize that everyone hates them and will vote oppoisite of what they think, so kkk supports changing the flag in a reverse psychology move. Wouldn't it make sense for Al-Qaeda to try the same thing and publicly support the political parties they dislike because they know that pretty much everyone hates them and will also oppose anyone they support?

Perhaps, but right now I kind of think they are too busy dodging bullits and trying to stay alive, While I do credit them for doing the unexpected, and being masterful by way phsych warefare, a sout park type turn would be difficult for even the great satan killer to pull off
