Ah Yes, the brother who's changed his name and wants nothing to do with him, who's SPECULATING over what he may be thinking/doing.
See that Jane? Seems. Means he doesn't actually know where he really got the information, my bet is Al Quaida had teams of people who streamed over every skerrick of post-9/11 footage, looking for anything he could discredit Bush and the other leaders with.
Once again, you're a fool if you think OBL wants Kerry to win. Bush's blundering approach to US foreign policy gives OBL a brilliant avenue of Propaganda to gain and motivatehis supporters.
Well Freo, AlJ has released the transcript of the FULL tape, which for whatever reason it decided not to screen in full.
Probably becos it figured that the full videotape would incense Americans so much W would win in a landslide.
Here it is at:
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/79C6AF22-98FB-4A1C-B21F-2BC36E87F61F.htm
And here are excerpts, which I've edited out - the stuff AlJ didn't screen.
".....It is true that this shows that al-Qaida has gained, but on the other hand, it shows that the Bush administration has also gained, something of which anyone who looks at the size of the contracts acquired by the shady Bush administration-linked mega-corporations,
like Halliburton and its kind, will be convinced.
And it all shows that the real loser is ... you. EDIT.
And it's no secret to you that the thinkers and perceptive ones from among the Americans warned Bush before the war and told him: "All that you want for securing America and removing the weapons of mass destruction - assuming they exist - is available to you, and the nations of the world are with you in the inspections, and it is in the interest of America that it not be thrust into an unjustified war with an unknown outcome."
But the darkness of the black gold blurred his vision and insight, and he gave priority to private interests over the public interests of America.
So the war went ahead, the death toll rose, the American economy bled, and Bush became embroiled in the swamps of Iraq that threaten his future. He fits the saying "like the naughty she-goat who used her hoof to dig up a knife from under the earth".
So I say to you, over 15,000 of our people have been killed and tens of thousands injured, while more than a thousand of you have been killed and more than 10,000 injured. And Bush's hands are stained with the blood of all those killed from both sides, all for the sake of oil and keeping their private companies in business.
Be aware that it is the nation who punishes the weak man when he causes the killing of one of its citizens for money, while letting the powerful one get off, when he causes the killing of more than 1000 of its sons, also for money.
And the same goes for your allies in Palestine. They terrorise the women and children, and kill and capture the men as they lie sleeping with their families on the mattresses, that you may recall that for every action, there is a reaction.
Finally, it behoves you to reflect on the last wills and testaments of the thousands who left you on the 11th as they gestured in despair. They are important testaments, which should be studied and researched.
Among the most important of what I read in them was some prose in their gestures before the collapse, where they say: "How mistaken we were to have allowed the White House to implement its aggressive foreign policies against the weak without supervision."
It is as if they were telling you, the people of America: "Hold to account those who have caused us to be killed, and happy is he who learns from others' mistakes."
And among that which I read in their gestures is a verse of poetry. "Injustice chases its people, and how unhealthy the bed of tyranny."
As has been said: "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure."
And know that: "It is better to return to the truth than persist in error."
And that the wise man doesn't squander his security, wealth and children for the sake of the liar in the White House.
Singing from the Michael Moore hymnbook, indeed.
Or was Dan Warna his script writer?
Whatever, your fantasies that OBL is not looking to overthrow Bush are somewhat misplaced, n'est ce pas?
Any ideas why Al Jazeera didn't run this tape in full?
