Bush camp: Osama is "a gift"

John Kerry is out saying this tape should unite us all behind the war on terror.

The Bush camp, however, seems to have no shame in turning this thing partisan. Sounds like they love it, doesn't it?

"We want people to think 'terrorism' for the last four days," said a Bush-Cheney campaign official. "And anything that raises the issue in people's minds is good for us."

A senior GOP strategist added, "anything that makes people nervous about their personal safety helps Bush."

He called it "a little gift," saying it helps the President but doesn't guarantee his reelection.

Which makes me wonder if Karl Rove actually planned to let Osama escape from Tora Bora...
