Osama bin Laden warned in his October Surprise video that he will be closely monitoring the state-by-state election returns in tomorrow's presidential race — and will spare any state that votes against President Bush from being attacked, according to a new analysis of his statement.
The respected Middle East Media Research Institute, which monitors and translates Arabic media and Internet sites, said initial translations of a key portion of bin Laden's video rant to the American people Friday night missed an ostentatious bid by the Saudi-born terror master to divide American voters and tilt the election towards Democratic challenger John Kerry.
MEMRI said radical Islamist commentators monitored over the Internet this past weekend also interpreted the key passage of bin Laden's diatribe to mean that any U.S. state that votes to elect Bush on Tuesday will be considered an "enemy" and any state that votes for Kerry has "chosen to make peace with us."
The statement in question is when bin Laden said on the tape: "Your security is up to you, and any state that does not toy with our security automatically guarantees its own security."
That sentence followed a lengthy passage in the video in which bin Laden launches personal attacks on the president. [emphasis added]
What does tat tell you if bin Laden was issuing a warning to red states? It tells me that President Bush has been so effective in the war on terror, that Osama bin Laden doesn't want Bush in power...
If the terrorists don't want Bush reelected, that's the biggest reason we need Bush to stay in the White House. The terrorists are more worried about Bush finishing the job he started than they are worried about the tough-on-terror front Kerry has been putting up the past month.
"will spare any state that votes against President Bush..."
...from being sent another boring video tape.
Osama Bin Laden is a molestor of swine. Pfffft! Go away or I will taunt you a second time. Beotch.
Osama -"Vote Kerry or die."
Even if this were true it does not matter to me. Osama must die for what he has done. Al Queda is a plague of the earth that must be eradicated. I know better, their is no peace while America exists to Al Queda. We are infidels to them that must convert to Wahibbism of be annihilated.
I guess Osama heard Micheal Moore's complaint in Sept 2001 that they were targeting the wrong states. They should have gone after Bush states, not Gore states.
We should send UBL an election map that shows how America voted by county. He would have a stroke trying to keep up with our geography.
Well, so Osama says if Bush is elected there will be trouble. Better keep those bullets soaking in pig fat!
If your state votes for Kerry, you're a bunch of pussies.
Hey Osama, kiss my royal Italian ass, you cave-dwelling camel humper.
I wonder if liberals will use this as justification should an attack happen.
So, is NY going to be making "nice" with bin Laden?
Maybe, if they're real nice, he might let them live.
Well, the NY feminists have always liked the color
black. . sigh. . . I can see them now, scurrying about
the sidewalks dressed up in their black burkas,
eyeslits barely revealing their unmadeup eyes, visiting
the World Trade Center Memorial Park . . nope . .
sorry, that would be the Osama bin Laden Victory
Memorial Park. Some people in this country better grow
up fast.
I have it on good authority that people in our state
(and others) are doing just that. It's just about good
hog killing weather for some fresh hog fat. Last
years' is getting rancid.
My state probably will but we in the western highlands beg to differ...:)
Oh Woe is being a Liberal!
