Bush the Younger and Osama--BFF

Both Steve Clemons and Susie Madrak, channeling John Dean, have recently noted the frequent coincidence of George W. Bush's need for political bolstering and Osama Bin Laden's subsequent appearances and threats. As others have noted, Osama has pretty much gotten the Middle East of his dreams, thanks to his friend George. Now, hooey and fan are really coming together, and up pops Bin Laden and allies with tapes and videos. The question is if, by summer, the fan is likely to be completely buried in hooey with more hooey on the way, what will Osama have to do to save the one man in DC who can keep things going Al Qaeda's way? And why should we not be very afraid of the answer?
