Bin Laden Appears on New Tape
Fox News ^ | 10-29-04 | Jrmink

Posted on 10/29/2004 1:27:53 PM PDT by jrmink

WASHINGTON — The Arab television station Al-Jazeera is broadcasting a new tape from Al Qaeda (search) leader Usama bin Laden (search). Multiple sources told FOX News that the 18-minute videotape is authentic and said its release was timed to coincide with Tuesday's presidential elections. Bin Laden makes reference to recent conflicts in Iraq and addresses the American people directly, sources said. U.S. officials said the tape appears to have been made recently. Bin Laden is speaking from a lectern and he talks about threats to the United States and he says that President Bush will not protect the American people Al-Jazeera said the tape deals with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and their consequences. While the announcer said the message was an audiotape, the station's Web site called it a video. The Qatari-based channel did not say how it had received the tape nor how it had concluded that it was authentic. The channel has previously received audio- and videotapes from people linked to Al Qaeda. FOX News' Bret Baier, Ian McCaleb, Anna Persky and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

His people are "free"? Since when?

Big words form the American traitor, too. Our streets will "run with blood". Haven't we heard that before? I'm betting a lot of it will be theirs. They forget we have guns too---and a lot of them are assault rifles. I'm buying some more ammo----just in case.

Oh, really. "we are a free people ... and we want to regain the freedom of our nation." So why did he attack us on 9/11/01, when we were not in Iraq or bothering them at all, for that matter? Lying piece of pig excrement.

"We decided to destroy towers in America," bin Laden said.

Does this mean that the average Arab on the street can finally stop blaming the Mossad?

Why? This only helps Bush not hurts him, if Kerry comes out anywhere on this tape the Bush Campaign can scream back sounds like Kerry and Osama are sharing talking points.

Another foreign leader with a ringing endorsement for John Kerry. It also seems like he got hold of Michael Moore's F9/11--now on DVD.

Why would he care if Bush "mislead the American people????

Because it confirms Kerry's exactly identical rhetoric.

Neat bit of oppo research by, I assume, Iranian intelligence.

Don't know if it will work to put in Kerry, but if it does, chalk it up to the "genius" Rove who decided long ago to not explain anything about the workings of the WOT, and foreign duplicities.

A vote for John Kerry is a vote for Usama bin Laden!!! End of story!!!

I'm not defending John Kerry at all, don't get me wrong. But what makes me mad about this video is that its a reminder the Bush Administration has had 3 years to get rid of this killer, and he's still out there making video tapes!!!

Have confidence in the American people. The thinking was always: If the election is about terrorism Bush wins; if it is about the economy, Kerry wins. Well, as of 4:00 p.m. today, guess what the election is about.

Osama obviously has seen Michael Moore's movie. Are they showing it in Pakistan? I heard they are showing it in Iran, but that the Iranians did not think much of it.

The fact that much of the main stream media is playing down that much of what Kerry and OBL are saying in their attacks against the president are the same things is the clearest indication of left-wing bias. Can anyone imagine in WWII if FDR opponent and Hitler/Mussolini were saying same things against the president?

Surely Americans aren't that stupid.

As my grandpa used to say, "You know how dumb the average guy is? Well half of 'em are dumber than THAT!"

Seriously, though, I am very skeptical that this tape is going to swing a committed voter one way or the other. Those whose primary issue is "Who's going to protect me best?" have made their choice: Bush (smarter than average) or sKerry (all those other guys my grandpa talked about).

Kerry talking points, yes, and also wishful thinking. No doubt he hoped to kill our President with one of those planes--perhaps the one that went down in PA.
