Usama bin Ladin appeared on Aljazeera television on Friday accusing US President George W. Bush of deceiving the American people.
In an address just days ahead of the US presidential election, bin Ladin also said the US administration resembled "corrupt" Arab governments.
He accused Bush of reacting slowly to the September 11 attacks, saying: "I never thought that the supreme leader would leave 50,000 of his people in the two towers to face the terrifying events alone at the time they were in need for him."
Refering to next week's elections, he told Americans: "Your security is not in the hands of (Democratic candidate John) Kerry or (President George W.) Bush or al-Qaida. Your security is in your own hands ...."
He accused Bush of "misleading" the American people four years after the September 11 attacks.
Claiming responsibility for the attacks, bin Ladin said, "we decided to destroy towers in America," because "we want to regain the freedom of our nation."
He added that "the reasons to repeat what happened" on 11 September 2001 remain.
Oh no! I guess we'd better give up now!
Wow, seems like someone else just said that. Guess this proves what team Kerry is really rooting for, and I don't mean the Sox.
Yes, of course.
We Americans should believe the bloody Bin Laden who wants to see all Americans dead instead of our President.
What a jerk.
And only STUPID Americans will believe him.
Islamic version of Weekend at Bernie's? How does a dead man appear on tv and speak? Why isn't this all over the news?
I don't believe this. If it at all looks like him, it's a double.
When they say he appeared on television was there a picture of him?
Bin Laden isn't so bad...he just endorsed concealed carry.
...or John Kerry for that matter. (Notice the similarity between "the President has been misleading the American people". Oooppps, bin Laden said the same thing. Whooops.)
I would say that this statement is a ringing endorsement of President Bush. This towel head is such a raving lunatic.
The THREAT of violence is one thing. Pulling it off is quite another. We are not as vulnerable now as we were 3 years ago. The waterways are probably the easiest targets, ferries, ships with cargo, cruise ships. I hope they find ways to protect those soon.
WHAT A MAROON....THIS IS HELPING BUSH!!
They connected the dots in 1998 but Senator Kerry and MSM can't seem to connect the dots in 2004.
Here is an easy to read chart of what the media was saying pre-911 (and after): Connect the Dots...Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
Lots of facts and quotes about the president-wannabe at the John F. Kerry Timeline.
.
Reasons, schmeasons.....he only wants to kill Americans and Jews.
As we say in the South...even a blind hog finds an acorn now and again,
Osama also wants the minimum wage raised to $7.15 an hour, increase funding for embreyonic stem cell research, and fully fund the No Child Left Behind act by rolling back tax cuts on the richest 1% of all Americans.
