Good work, gentlemen

Beldar and Wretchard propose an interesting theory set about Osama bin Laden's videotape. Read Beldar's post and thereby Wretchard's on Belmont Club, and think about what Beldar is saying:

"But I don't think that bin Laden's tape is primarily an attempt to influence the course of the American election next Tuesday. Rather, I think it's a very clear attempt to begin negotiations with a Kerry administration for a 'cease-fire' in the Global War on Terror.

"Of course, I don't believe for an instant that bin Laden's sincere. Only a blithering fool would trust him." (emphasis Beldar's)

And then he explains why John Kerry is just that kind of fool, and how we know. "Peace in our time," anyone? God, I hope not.

Read it all, this is THE issue of this election. We can't afford to get it wrong. Even the comments are good; under Wretchard's, a commenter named Jason answers OBL as Gen. McAuliffe of the 101st Airborne answered the Germans at Bastogne: "Nuts!" I'm with you, Jason.
