Who will be president...?

...of Islamic militancy?

In My Endorsement and Osama's Video, Christopher Hitchens writes,

I could be mistaken but I was struck by the remark of one analyst quoted in the New York Times who said that Bin Laden was running for re-election as the president of Islamic militancy. In that case, he might have been aware of the rival candidacy of Abu Musad al-Zarqawi, who began his career of crime with a declaration of war on the Jordanian ruling house.

Then there was the guy on the other tape who claimed to be an American, but if he won't show his face, how can he get elected?
