THE BEST OSAMA COULD DO
New York Post ^ | 10/30/04

Posted on 10/29/2004 11:56:21 PM PDT by kattracks

Osama bin Laden might as well have endorsed John Kerry in his 18- minute taped rant aired yesterday on the Execution Channel (aka Al-Jazeera television), which sounded like it had been written by Moveon.Org.

"Despite entering the fourth year after 9/11," bin Laden said, "Bush is still deceiving you and hiding the truth from you, and therefore the reasons are still there to repeat what happened."

Happily, while Osama's dyspepsia persists, his ability to "repeat" anything has been severely constrained — by President Bush and the War on Terror.

Osama's goals have been to sow death and destruction in the name of his own sick religion. But things haven't been working out so well.

The 9/11 attack was intended principally to provoke a swift, indiscriminate American military response so terrible it would provoke the Muslim masses to rise against moderate Islamic governments in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.

That, in turn, would have allowed al Qaeda — then enjoying the patronage of Afghanistan's Taliban government — to extend itself into newly radicalized regions of the Mideast and beyond.

But while America's response was swift, it was disciplined, targeted and extraordinarily effective.

There were no uprisings.

No governments fell, except two; the Taliban and Saddam Hussein's.

And while it is true that Osama remains free — however temporarily — it is also true that he's also now the world's most famous homeless person.

Kat, defending the nation is like being an offensive lineman or an IT/Telecom manager ... the 99.99% of things you do right on a daily basis go unappreciated, and you're only noticed when somethng goes wrong.

The only thing missing from the video infomercial was "I am John Kerry and I approve of this message."



Bin Laden spouts off Kerry, Moore, DNC weak talking points... gag
Mentions: "our nation" like he has a country ?
Invokes God 3 or 4 times instead of Allah...?
And finally, it could be me but the Nightline reporter took on a weirdly "sensitive" tone when discussing this video last night.

it's very true. while in the past, he threatened "blood in the streets", he is now reduced to ATTEMPTING to affect the election in the US.

he's VERY much "less than he was".

---bin Laden is very afraid of a Bush win.---

it was LAME, kattracks. no real threat of real terror, just a general, and abysmal, sort of bumbling attempt to affect the election.

if UBL was sexual, his wives would be divorcing him for "lack of sexual support".
