Is it just me, or does it seem like every time in the last, oh, 6 years that there is an important, devisive political decision about to be made (think: 2004 elections, 2002 elections, now the Petraeus report on the surge) there seems to be a familiar opening act?
Call me paranoid, call my suspicious, but it seems like the only time we hear from Osama is when it is politically convienient to hear from him. Granted, it is approaching the anniversary of 9-11...... however it seems that the launch of this "new osama video!!" hooplah on the part of the media (blogosphere included!!) is strange.
In each video installment, it seems Osama never ages!! In fact now, he is getting younger! His beard has now been treated by Hair Club For Men, with a nice consistent color and coiff.
Spare me. Am I alone in starting to wonder if maybe the intelligence agencies of this country (CIA, FBI) have ALSO been politicized to time the release of these events to be useful to the administrations political plan. Call me paranoid
