I don’t know about you, but I find it ironic that P. Diddy’s latest voting campaign ad, “Vote or Die” was taken to new heights by Osama bin Laden yesterday. Not only is he taunting us to vote in his latest video, he threatens us with more acts of terror if we vote Bush back in office.

Hmmm, now let me get this straight, Osama – a well known terrorist, who yesterday admitted to being the mastermind and financier of the 9/11 attack which killed over 3,000, is threatening me with violence if I vote for Bush? Of course later he says that we will not be safe as a nation if we interfere with any Islamist nation, no matter who is president.

As any new yorker would say: “What is he… stupid!?” Does he think that I’m actually going to listen to what he has to say to me? Does he really think that I can threatened into changing my vote?

I just realized thatÂ’s the 3rd Islamist endorsement Kerry has received in the last 7 days. It seems that Kerry's sister Beth, was busier than I originally thought in getting ex-patriots and others oversease to campaign or vote for Kerry.
Truthfully though, I expected an attack all week long. When it didn't come yesterday morning I wondered what was the sick old man up to? Well, like clockwork, he showed up on tv. First it was Zarqawi over a week ago, now the Boss himself. Let me explain.

Having followed Al-Qaeda since the So. Tower was bombed in 1993, I know that the 7th and 15th day of Ramadan has always produced tapes and or attacks against the West in one form or another. ThatÂ’s why the tape earlier this week, with the American-English speaking Pakistani, didnÂ’t surprise me, it actually reminded me bin Laden's tape were overdue.

You see during Ramadan, Muslims around the world enter a month long fast. Have any of you fasted? well, the first 3 days is really not a big deal, it's after that point that your body and mind begins to betray you. At around the 7th day, if you are not a positive thinking and prayerful person, your negative thoughts come in to wreak havoc, making you ill-tempered unable to think clearly and your sense of the world around you shifts.

I've often thought that Al-Qaeda focuses on bringing messages to muslims during Ramadan to increase recruitment by capitalizing on the physiological vulnerabilty of pilgrims during this period. The only analogy I can use is pretending that Mel Gibson is a military leader and uses his movie "The Passion of the Christ" to unite christians around the world, while at the same time to subliminally fostering enough anti-semitism to cause rationally thinking people to harbor hate for Jews.

But getting back to the series of tapes released in the last 2 weeks. Since the Zarqawi tape hardly garnered any publicity, and the subsequent english speaking tape, by the robed Pakastani threatening violence, didnÂ’t get much airplay, the Islamists brought out their heaviest gun - Osama. In his taped message, he once again issues threats; most of which I consider overkill.

Threats or not, Osama does not strike any fear in my heart. If anything, I am more determined than ever to vote and in doing so, actively fight against his political and cult beliefs of hate. I take no interest in what he has to say, I leave that to the intelligence experts and the authorities.

Finally, "I donÂ’t know if Michael Moore fans pause when they hear their own propaganda repeated approvingly by a genocidal maniac," what I do know is that on Nov 2nd, come what may, IÂ’m going to use the power of the ballot as My rude gesture toward bin Laden and his cowardly cohorts.
