This suggests some knowledge by bin Laden of the U.S. electoral college system. In a section of his speech in which he harshly criticized George W. Bush, bin Laden stated: "Any U.S. state that does not toy with our security automatically guarantees its own security."

our translators did not translate correctly. He meant states as in 50 states
It is really amazing how many new freepers are challenging the translation.
Sorry, I don't know you or any of the new freepers. I will go with translation from a group that hasn't suddenly appeared.
