Osama bin Laden is back with another message for the world: CAIRO — Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden described President Barack Obama as “powerless” to stop the war in Afghanistan and threatened to step up guerrilla warfare there in a new audiotape released to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States. In the 11-minute tape, addressed to the American people, bin Laden said Obama is only following the warlike policies of his predecessor George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and he urged Americans to “liberate” themselves from the influence of “neo-conservatives and the Israeli lobby.” The tape was posted on Islamic militant Web sites two days after the eighth anniversary of the 2001 suicide plane hijackings. The terror leader usually addresses Americans in a message timed around the date of the attacks, which sparked the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan the same year, and then in Iraq two years later. Bin Laden said Americans had failed to understand that al-Qaida carried out the attacks in retaliation for U.S. support for Israel. If America reconsiders its alliance with the Jewish state, al-Qaida will respond on “sound and just bases.” The Saudi construction magnate’s son-turned “holy warrior” and his deputies have frequently sought to wrap al-Qaida in the Palestinian cause, seeking to draw support in the Arab world, where the issue is one of the public’s top concerns. Al-Qaida has also sought to depict Obama as no different from Bush, who was widely despised in the Arab world for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and his close support of Israel. Obama has won greater popularity in the region, giving a landmark speech in Cairo in June, moving to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and taking a somewhat harder stance on Israel in the peace process. “If you end the war (in Afghanistan), so let it be,” bin Laden said. “But if it is otherwise, all we will do is continue the war of attrition against you on all possible axes.” “You are waging a hopeless and losing war for the benefit of others, a war the end of which is not visible on the horizon,” he said, according to a translation of the tape Monday by SITE Intelligence Group, a terrorist-monitoring firm, and by The Associated Press. And, the war continues…..
Nanny Pelosi is demanding that Osama apologize to Barry on the floor of the House.
Boy, Osama and 53% of Americans missed on this one
So this means we are pulling out of Afghanistan?
Aaahh Please you got the little Kenyan crying.
Wow! Osama comparing The One to Bush? For the lefties, that’s gotta hurt. That’s below the belt.
That picture is freaky.
Lord, that’s creepy.
Creepy both both had one thing in common: they were socialists.
No he is ramping up the troops and the liberal loonies are furious over it.
Obama will probably blame “being like Bush” on Bush.
"That idiot! Why doesn't he just shut up already? Doesn't he realize that if he just keeps quiet for a while longer, I fully intend to give his organization everything it wants?"
LOL. The joke's on you, Barack baby.
I can not wait for Delta to take care of this guy.
Talk about below the belt! At least osama coulda said obama throws like a girl and wears mompants, while W throws like a man and wears some pretty studly levis out there on the pitcher’s mound! Geez, the raghead-in-chief needs to keep it real!
LOL!
“Mack Daddy the Zebra” has no credibility anywhere, he is the joke heard around the world.
