WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- President Bush said his 2004 re-election victory
over Sen. John Kerry was inadvertently aided by Osama bin Laden, The
Washington
Examiner newspaper reported Tuesday.
The al Qaeda leader had issued a taped diatribe against Bush the Friday b
efore Americans went to the polls
Bush said there were "enormous amounts of discussion" inside his campaign
about the 15-minute tape, which he called "an interesting entry by our enemy"
into the presidential race.
Bush's comments in the Washington newspaper were excerpts from the new book
"Strategery" by Bill Sammon, a longtime White House correspondent.
"What does it mean? Is it going to help? Is it going to hurt?" Bush told
Sammon of the bin Laden tapes.
"Anything that drops in at the end of a campaign that is not already decided
creates all kinds of anxieties, because you're not sure of the effect.
"I thought it was going to help," Bush said.
"I thought it would help remind people that if bin Laden doesn't want Bush to
be the president, something must be right with Bush."
