#1 He has some bad news for the Truthers too...

Bin Laden said it was unjust for the United States to have invaded Afghanistan for sheltering him after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, saying he was the "only one responsible" for the deadly assaults on New York and Washington.

"The events of Manhattan were retaliation against the American-Israeli alliance's aggression against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, and I am the only one responsible for it. The Afghan people and government knew nothing about it. America knows that," the al-Qaida leader said.

#2 And when the US asked Afghanistan to turn over your pustulant hide what did they do?

They cheered you and defended you. So go pound sand with the Mullahs and pray that the RB contingent never get their hands on you.

#3 [The Afghans'] only sin is being Muslims.

I suppose that'll have to suffice.

Second... you have not observed the ethics and rules of warfare.

Mister Pot, permit me to introduce Mister Kettle.

#4 Gee I sure hope Adam Gadahn is okay. Usually they release these as still picture 'videos' with adam's translation subtitles.

#6 Binnie, why argue about things in this mortal life when Islam tells us life is meant for suffering and prayer to lay way for the afterlife. I'm fairly certain Omar will get his just deserts in the afterlife.

#7 Another audio only message, and all it says is " I'm still dead."

#8 What a crappy speech, even for uncle bin.

"In this war, you combined two injustices... [First], you did not possess even one piece of evidence admissible in court...You destroyed Al-Qaeda's camps,
Destroyed evidence may not be admissible, but since you corraborate...

killing some of its members and capturing others, most of them from Pakistan. What, then, is Afghanistan's sin that you continue this unjust war against it? [The Afghans']
So those members are a military foreign to Afghanistan...so the coalition is foreigners not Afghans.

Most of the intended victims of your attacks are women and children. [Even though] you know that our women do not fight...
Come out and fight then instead of blowing up kids at a sugar factory. What about women suicide bombers? Men in burkas? There are rumors about the effemity of the taliban how does that work out?

just as the Afghans defeated Great Britain and the Soviets in the past, they will now defeat the Western invaders under the command of Mulla 'Omar and Mansour Dadullah.
Thought binny said they were from Pakistan? You were there against the Soviets were you not, just how were they defeated? Only Stallone can shoot down a helicopter with an arrow and a lot has changed since Rambo III but you are still just glorified dope pushers.

#10 Again - IMO, as Dubya + MOud continue to escalate their rhetoric and countermoves, OSAMA = RADICAL ISLAM are getting ready to wage a final "decisive battle/campaign" for IRAQ before fully shifting to DEFENSE OF IRAN, in anticipation of US attack = DESIRED INVASION-OCCUPATION. IMO THEY'VE ALREADY BEGUN TO CHANGE THEIR FOCII TO IRAN.

WOT > among other premises, is WAR FOR SALVATION + "JUSTIFICATION" OF ISLAM/ISLAMISM. The Osama I know from the anti-Soviet Afghan War is IRAN-CENTRIC - FOR HIM, ISLAM = ISLAMISM MUST, BEFORE GOD-HEAVEN, WIN OR LOSE ITS [divine]
"APOCALYPSE", etc. IN IRAN. IFF THE US-WEST DOES NOT ATTACK + OCCUPY IRAN, THE US-WEST WILL CONTINUE TO BE ATTACKED AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL IT DOES, OR ELSE THAT OSAMA + ISLAM includ RADICAL ISLAMISM IS PER SE DEAD = DESTROYED.

Various Amer Netters, Pundits, or Politicos cannot argue that yes, Virginia, the USA, etc. is dealing with highly dedicated, well-armed/suppor, "SUBMIT/FIGHT-OR-DIE" RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS = EXTREMISTS = TOTALITARIANISTS ERGO USA/WOT IS NOT IN A WAR OR FIGHT "TO THE DEATH" WITH THEM!?

#11 Didn't he swear by everything he holds dear that he had **nothing** to do with 9/11 right after it happened?

Bin Laden, by your own words you are a liar and your 'word' is worthless.

#12 NEWSMAX > de BORCHGRAVE - PAT BUCHANAN AND BIN LADEN BOTH AGREE ON US DESTRUCTION. Plus also GBritain's ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. Iff I understand the Archbishop of Canterbury's reported comments correctly > US/AMER LEADERSHIP IN WOT IS NOT WORKING GLOBALLY DUE TO AMER'S DESIRE TO EXERT INFLUENCE AND CONTROL, BUT NOT TO "ACQUIRE TERRITORY". Amer is failing becuz it has one and only one global hegemonic, not several???

#13 ION, REUTERS > EU MUST CHANGE ITS TACK IN AFRICA OR LOSE TO CHINA, accoridng to EU Development Chief Louis Michel. EU = Europe must drop its attitude of PATERNALISM and start seeing Africa as AN [econ] OPPORTUNITY, NOT A BURDEN. Iff EU does little or nothing, AFRICA WILL TURN TO CHINA's, etc. MONEY. AFRICA WANTS AND NEEDS REGION/CONTINENT-WIDE MASSIVE INVESTMENTS AND INTERNAT ECON PARTNERSHIPS-VENTURES, NOTSOMUCH HUMANITARIAN AID THAT TYPICALLY ENDS UP GOING TO DESPOTS, WARLORDS, and CRIME SYNDICATES.
