By now you have probably heard of how Al Qaeda is celebrating the fifth anniversary of 9/11 by releasing previously unaired video of Bin Laden's meeting and preparations with some of the hijackers.
Here Aljazeera, which has aired some of the footage, provides some more information about the video's contents -- including some surprising details which our one party media will surely ignore:
Al-Qaeda video takes credit for 9/11
Friday 08 September 2006
A new videotape aired on Aljazeera television has shown Osama bin Laden and senior al-Qaeda members meeting some of the men who carried out the September 11 attacks against the US in 2001. The 90-minute video apparently shows bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, taking part in the planning and preparation of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people...
The footage, first aired on Thursday, also shows Abu Hafsa al-Masri, al-Qaeda's then military leader, and Ramzi bin al-Shaiba, co-ordinator of the 9/11 attacks, meeting in al-Qaeda's training camps in Taliban controlled Afghanistan. The tape also says that a previous unknown Arab Islamist, Abu al-Turab al-Urduni, supervised the training for the attacks.
The video said the preparation for the attacks included not only flight training but also lessons in street-fighting and how to forge official documents.
The video also showed two of the 19 Islamists who took part in the attacks, Saudi nationals Hamza al-Ramdi and Wael el-Shemari. The men said that their actions were inspired by an urge to avenge the suffering of Muslims in Bosnia and Chechnya.
Ramzi bin al-Shaiba was captured by the US in 2002. He is now reportedly being held in Guantanamo Bay. Aljazeera has aired only three minutes of the tape.
Afghanistan training camp Parts of the tape show bin Laden - wearing a dark robe and white head gear - strolling through an Afghan training camp, greeting dozens of followers, some masked, some barefaced, many carrying automatic weapons. Aljazeera said that among those he greeted in the footage were several of the 9/11 hijackers but their faces were not clear, and it was not immediately known which ones were shown.
In one scene, bin Laden addresses the camera, calling on Muslims to support the hijackers. "I ask you to pray for them and to ask God to make them successful, aim their shots well, set their feet strong and strengthen their hearts," bin Laden said.
The comments were apparently filmed before the attacks but never before released. The footage also shows scenes of training at the camp.
That's right.
The hijackers claimed they were going to fly airplanes into important buildings in New York and DC to "avenge the suffering of Muslims in Bosnia and Chechnya."
Never mind that the United States helped fight a war to try to protect the Muslim population in Bosnia. (In fact, we still have troops stationed there as peacekeepers.)
And never mind that Chechnya is the bailiwick of the Soviet Union Russia and a matter we have no control over whatsoever.
Apparently the hijackers made no mention of any of the motives usually attributed to them. Such as their anger at the US presence in Saudi Arabia, or our support for Israel, or even their general hatred of Western decadence.
But of course we will never hear anything again about the 9/11 terrorists' actual motives. Not from the guardians of truth in our one party media.
They won't allow any rewrites of their version of 9/11.
"And, of course, this totally puts paid to the idea that if we reached out and were more sympathetic we wouldn't need all this nasty fighting stuff. Two year olds need time out. Islamowackos need the death they so ardently seek."
Well put.
These Muslims...they're like extra-strength Democrats.
This video link shows us how the Clintoons failed to protect us agains Ben Laden.

This whole "Road to 911" thing reduces down to that. All you really need to know is in that "declaration of war."
Using Christian Serbs as scapegoats in Bosnia and Kosovo (waging wars on them to show "sympathy" for the Muslims there) won't appease the Islamofascist scum. They will continue to kill Americans regardless.
It worked like a clockwork. Rudder Finn needs approval from DoS in order to accept a client. I suspect they got firm guidelines from DoS. Their role was to create emotionally charged PR scripts in a Goebbels fashion and distribut it to MSM. If he was alive today, Ike would call it "Military-Industrial-Media Complex"
Important point- if Islamonazis destroyed WTC because of "suffering of Muslims in Bosnia" there is a solid ground to sue all MSM who distributed the lies about alleged suffering of Muslims and created such impression.
Imagine being Muslim with a simple mindset watching MSM and reading American press. You could get impression that millions of Muslims died in Bosnia, while the real number is less than 60000 (total death toll in Bosnia was less than 102,000)
Serious propaganda costs serious money. I am still looking for plausible explanation for U.S. role in the Balkan civil wars. It is too much money to cover zippergate. As it is now, I believe that the objective was not to support Muslims, but to ethnicaly cleanse Serbs from the most of the territory of the former Yugoslavia, namely, from Croatia, large swaths of Bosnia and Kosovo.
In the Balkans, U.S. did not meet a Serb enemy she did not like. Islamofascists were U.S. allies and U.S. was even allied with Iran to support them. Only a naive person can not see the bigger picture there, far surpassing Balkan morass.
If the very same scum America armed, trained and supported striked the U.S. soil and killed 2000+ Americans, it is an example of what goes around, comes around.
Clinton's WH, DoS and MSM can be held criminally responsible for the destruction of WTC for aiding and abetting the enemy of the United States.
In the words of that great 20th century philosopher, Wilt Chamberlain, "No one likes Goliath."
I'm over on LF batting their total idiosy..you wouldn't believe. I'll be back shortly. I'm having fun.
This exposes the DemonRat-Leftist lie that our foreign policy is to blame for Islamic terrorist attacks against us. We aided the Afgan rebels who fought the Soviel occupation. We tried to feed and protect Muslims in Somalia. We dropped bombs in Bosnia to save Muslims from supposed genocide. The thanks we got was attacks on our embassies in Africa, the attempted sinking of the Cole, and the attacks on 9/11. The truth is that there is nothing we can do to please IslamiNazis and their sympathizers in the Muslim Nation. The only thing that will make them happy is our destruction. We could abandon Israel and allow them to destroy it. We could withdraw completely from the Middle east. IslamiNazis will still hate us and want to kill us. The DemonRats and the rest of the Left are practicing "the Big Lie." As far as IslamiNazis are concerned, we are damned if we do, and damned if we don't.
In kosovo they love bill klintoon......Bosnian muslims love clinton, while there and even here in Africa, I've gotten arguments about how great clinton was as president.....They don't like my answers.....:)
"Ultimately, they hit us because we are big."
I don't think so. They also "hit" India, the Philippines, the UK... the list is endless.
They hit us because we aren't Muslim.
That's all that matters to them.
And they hit other Muslims because they aren't exactly the right kind of Muslims.
In reality they are merely a murder cult. Their "religion" is just a pretext.
Any luck?
Must you insult Neanderthals? ;-)
The video also showed two of the 19 Islamists who took part in the attacks, Saudi nationals Hamza al-Ramdi and Wael el-Shemari. The men said that their actions were inspired by an urge to avenge the suffering of Muslims in Bosnia and Chechnya.
Unfreakinbelievable.
That's the word I was searching for.
My head is about to explode over this revelation.
What's the thread?
those idiots are so easy to rile up...all you gotta say is that you are "Pro-Jew/Israeli" or Bush-supporter or anything of that sort... lastly, say that we are doing good things in Iraq, or in the miltiary and refute the lies being printed...so easy...when bored, just log in their and post a thread and antagonize 'em...:)
