Further analysis of OBL tape

A good deal of what I do is analyzing peoples' spoken words. More often than not, you will learn a lot more from what a person DOESN'T say, or if you read between the lines, than just focusing on what a person DOES say, when they are making public comments.

OBL states: "But I am amazed at you. Even though we are in the fourth year after the events of September 11th, Bush is still engaged in distortion, deception and hiding from you the real causes. And thus, the reasons are still there for a repeat of what occurred."

This is a blatant threat. Amazed at "you" is referring to American citizens, excluding the US government. He is saying that he is "amazed" that we haven't seen "the light" and believe Bush's "lies". The implied threat is - continue to believe in Bush (re-elect him) and you will be hit again. The meaning could not be more clear. OBL doesn't say it in those words, because he knows it would be rejected out of hand by 99% of Americans; however, he knows the left-leaning weaklings can be swayed. Instead of him telling people directly "vote for Bush and we'll attack you", he wants Americans to come to the conclusion of "gee, Bush is the one causing these problems. Maybe if Kerry would get in the White House things might calm down and this War on Terror could wind down" on their own. This is the most subtle of brain-washing techniques. Then again, as many souls as he has claimed for his cause, OBL is obviously a master at such techniques. Again, he wants Americans to conclude that voting for Bush would endanger them further and make them think that they came to this conclusion on their own. If they can tell themselves "I'm voting against Bush not because of what OBL said, but what I've concluded on my own" then they think they call pull the lever for Kerry with a clear conscience, even though it was OBL who planted the evil seed in their brain and they allowed it to take root. I believe that such a nefarious brainwashing technique could only be conceived and used effectively by someone aided by super-naturally evil power.

OBL states: "The events that affected my soul in a direct way started in 1982 when America permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon and the American Sixth Fleet helped them in that."

Interesting that he picks a date in the 1980s. Would anyone suggest that the US was beloved in the Muslim world prior to that? Hardly. The Mulim hatred of America started with the creation of Israel and our defense and support of the tiny nation-state. Why didn't OBL mention that as being a "turning point" in Muslim-US relations? Could it be because a democrat was in office at that time? Seems far-fetched perhaps, but his omission of any bad things done by democrats becomes more and more obvious as you read his diatribe. If the outrage of Muslim extremists started in 1982, why did they storm the US embassy in Iran in the late 1970s and take hostages? Obviously, the hatred of America by these Muslims was white hot then, so why did OBL not mention that? Because a democrat, Jimmy Carter was president at the time. He wants us to believe that 9/11 happened and that we are where we are now all because of what started in 1982. That assertion is simply ridiculous. We have done countless things to support Israel during both democratic and republican administrations, although the Jewish state gets their strongest support from GOP Presidents. OBL, I believe, made a conscience and deliberate effort to name an event that occurred when Reagan, a republican, was president. Again, this is OBL at his most subtle best. He knows that Reagan, recently deceased, is immensely popular. Were OBL to use his name, it would anger even moderate democrats. Again, he wants Americans to conclude on their own "gee, only bad things happen with us and the Muslims when the GOP has power". That would of course be 100% false, but that is the conclusion he wants Americans to draw "on their own" as they vote on Tuesday.

OBL states: "This means the oppressing and embargoing to death of millions as Bush Sr. did in Iraq in the greatest mass slaughter of children mankind has ever known..."

Yes, the sanctions were started under Bush, Sr., and of course, the reason many children perished is because Saddam withheld food from his own people, while enriching himself. Of course, OBL wants to ignore Saddam's guilt here and focus on Bush Sr. But WHO is OBL failing to mention? He completely ignores BILL CLINTON and the UN. Why? The sanctions were UN sanctions, not "Bush Sr." sanctions. They were in effect, for what, 1 year while Bush Sr. was in office? For how many years were they in effect during Clinton's presidency? ALL 8 YEARS. Why is OBL clearly omitting any negative reference to Clinton or the UN? Again, he is avoiding saying anything negative about democrats and focusing completely on republicans. Kerry is the one who wants to rely on the UN to do anything, while Bush Jr. will do whatever it takes to defend America, regardless of what the UN says or does. If OBL attacks the UN, then he is attacking Kerry and the democrats as well. He is avoiding doing that at all costs. This could not be a more one-sided partisan attack on republicans if Terry McAuliffe had written it himself. After talking about Bush Sr., OBL jumps ahead 8+ years to...

"...and it means the throwing of millions of pounds of bombs and explosives at millions of children – also in Iraq – as Bush Jr. Did, in order to remove an old agent and replace him with a new puppet to assist in the pilfering of Iraq's oil and other outrages."

Saddam was an "old agent" for whom? For Reagan and Bush, Sr. according to the conspiracy. Who bombed Iraq? Bush Sr. in the first Gulf War and Bush Jr. now. But who else? BILL CLINTON. Again, OBL quite purposefully does NOT mention his name. The LAST THING he wants American voters to think is "gee, we have problems with terrorists regardless of who is President, so who is going to do a better job killing them, Kerry or Bush?" He knows what conclusion people will come to. No, he wants people to think "gee, all of these problems and humanity crises happened at the hands of republicans". Again, he is not going to say that directly. He wants Americans to think they have come to that conclusion on their own.

OBL's very next words are: "So with these images and their like as their background, the events of September 11th came as a reply to those great wrongs".

Here, OBL states something blatantly and obviously false. The "image" of Bush JR. dropping bombs in Iraq could NOT have been present in the "background" on September 11, 2001. The 9/11 attacks came first. Either OBL got mixed up himsef on who's relatiating for what, or he hopes that some Americans will be easily mixed up. Again, note that all of these "images" are the results of republicans, while there's no mention of democrats.

OBL states: "...as well as my interviews with Robert Fisk.

The latter is one of your compatriots and co-religionists and I consider him to be neutral. So are the pretenders of freedom at The White House and the channels controlled by them able to run an interview with him? So that he may relay to the American people what he has understood from us to be the reasons for our fight against you?

If you were to avoid these reasons, you will have taken the correct path that will lead America to the security that it was in before September 11th. This concerned the causes of the war.

Ah, yes, if we would only listen to Robert Fisk, all would be well. And what can we find out from Robert Fisk? Probably a few things that Osama wishes we wouldn't. Quoting from an anti-war website: "In Afghanistan in 1996, shortly after he arrived in the country, bin Laden mainly talked with Mr. Fisk about the corruption of the Saudi regime and his desire to see the Americans and British out of the country. That, rather than concern about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or even the awfulness of America, seemed to be his main obsession then. So here we see OBL's main concern was NOT "the Israeli-Palestinian conflict". But, wait, didn't OBL state that this whole big mess started in 1982 with the "the Israeli-Palestinian conflict"??? It seems OBL's reasons for terrorism change as it suits his needs.

Here's another quote from Fisk: "Bin Laden is not well read and he's not sophisticated" and "He's very shrewd. But he struck me, even in 1997, as being remarkably out of touch." Just how is it that someone "not well read", "not sophisticated", "remarkably out of touch" suddenly can practically recite the entire F911 movie and all of the DNC talking points? This is absolutely surreal. Hasn't he been in a cave, hiding somewhere? I am at a loss to explain this aspect. My best guess is that OBL watched F911 one too many times. That perhaps was his crude "educational" tool to get himself "up to speed" and "informed" on what the left is saying in America, and I believe that OBL wants to be "in harmony" with the democrats, without being too obvious.

Again quoting Fisk: "When I last saw bin Laden, he was still obsessed with the Israeli massacre of 107 Lebanese refugees sheltering at the UN camp at Qana in April 1996. Israel claimed it was a "mistake," the UN conceded otherwise and President Clinton called it only a "tragedy"--as if it was a natural disaster. It was, said bin Laden, an act of "international terrorism." There must be justice, he said, and trials for the Israeli perpetrators."

Hmmm. OBL was outraged at this, so why not bring it up in his recent message as one of those "background events"? Because CLINTON was president. Again, OBL is trying to rewrite history in the minds of mindless Americans that all was well with Muslims and Americans when democrats were in the White House, and only republicans have caused problems.

Much of the rest reads like the script of F911. Haliburton, Saudis, goat books, etc references are almost too much to believe. Read it for yourself if can stomach it. OBL's thoughts on those trapped in the burning, collapsing towers on 9/11 are repulsive to say the least. Those, too, you can read if you wish.

Finally, he ends with another threat: "Your security is in your own hands. And every state that doesn't play with our security has automatically guaranteed its own security."

It has been translated by some to mean that the individual states who vote for Bush are being threatened, while those that don't won't be attacked. That may well be the case. It also brings up a frightening possibility. Some analysts have also said an OBL message could be the signal for the next attack, while others have said he sent a tape because he couldn't send a bomb. I pray the latter is true. If the former is true, some type of attacks may be attempted in Bush states following the election with a Bush win. I want to believe that this isn't true, and that we have the ability to prevent such an attack in our post-9/11 country. My greater fear is that Kerry will win, and thus OBL will also be the winner. He is trying to act conciliatory now, because he and al Qaeda need a breather. Most of their leadership is out of operation an OBL is on the run. He wants a democrat in office that will use kid gloves on him once again. He wants another Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton. He says that in the war protestor John Kerry. I can even foresee Kerry falling for OBL's "peace" and "security" propaganda, much like he fell for it from the North Vietnamese. But make no mistake about it. Peace is NOT the radical Muslim's desire. Again quoting from Fisk: " "Jihad is our mission," says one (a t-shirt hanging in Muslim bazaar), beneath Mr bin Laden's face, followed by the quotation, "As a Muslim, it is my aim to spread Islam throughout the world by love or power"

OBL doesn't want peace any more than Hitler did.

My heart is heavy tonight with the feat that America will make the wrong choice tomorrow, and that one day, perhaps a few years down the road, we will pay the price, after Kerry has weakened our national and international defenses. Instead of fretting about it, however, I will be in prayer for our country and our President. I invite you to do the same over the next few precious hours.

God Bless

Well done!

Buck Fin Laden

Absolutely a great job.

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 Haliburton and its kind, will be convinced. And it all shows that the real loser is...you.

WTF!?!? Is this Bin Laden, Michael Moore, John Kerry or Dennis Kucinich? Take your pick.

Reagan was president in 1982.

OBL states: "But I am amazed at you. Even though we are in the fourth year after the
events of September 11th, Bush is still engaged in distortion, deception and
hiding from you the real causes."

America states: "Considering you the successes you had on 9-11, aren't you a bit
suprised that a TV show in NYC is now openly mocking you and most of America is
moving forward and ignoring you?"

That is what you waid! My mistake!

did yopu also see the MEMRI version of the transcript?

Reagan was president in 1982.

That's the point. He was using an event from the Reagan Presidency.

Very good analysis.

Right now all we can do is leave this in God's hands and keep prayers going.

bump for 10 minutes from now

did yopu also see the MEMRI version of the transcript?

Yes, that was where I learned of the threats to the individual US states.

See my post 8. Sorry!

Dit-toe

> The Muslim hatred of America started with the creation of Israel ...

Hardly. It goes back to 1804 ("the shores of Tripoli"), if not earlier.

Nice analysis, by the way.

Good Job - Well Done. Prayers for all - Bush will win, and a slogan from a movie, Bush will "Never Give up, Never Surrender" and he will hunt OBL and finish him.

It started way back in the middle ages. Afte the Mongol hordes receded towards Mongolia and asia the Muslims filled the vacuum.

Ever wonder why Europe was so eager to get a new route to India?? It was because Muslims were in control of the land routes and they were not nice to traders.

The storming of the embassy in Iran was during the Carter presidency (as if anyone could forget).

If Bin Laden is so out of touch, it may be that he had the help of an American convert to Islam to select useful bits from the DNC talking points and Michael Moore's movie.
