"the most obvious message of Friday's videotape is that bin Laden is
alive and well. Ayman al-Zawahiri, also released a videotape last
month, which aired on the third anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The
fact that both of al Qaeda's leaders have recently had the leisure to
make videotaped statements suggest that they are feeling secure,
wherever it is that they are hiding.

"He said this raised an important question, namely whether Senator
Kerry was correct when he said on Friday, "I regret that when George
Bush had the opportunity in Afghanistan at Tora Bora he didn't choose
to use American forces to hunt down Osama bin Laden?" The
preponderance of evidence indicates that al Qeada's leader was indeed
at Tora Bora, and there is no disputing the fact the Tora Bora battle
was "outsourced" to Afghan warlords of questionable competence and
loyalty, as Senator Kerry has repeatedly charged."
