Bin Laden Son: Al Qaeda Will Be Deadlier after Osama
CBS News ^ | February 11, 2010 | Daniel Carty

Posted on 02/13/2010 7:39:20 PM PST by BIOCHEMKY

The son of Osama bin Laden [Omar bin laden who looks to be between 25 and 30 years old] said the al Qaeda leader would never be caught and that once he dies, his successors will be even more violent.

"From what I knew of my father and the people around him I believe he is the most kind among them, because some are much, much worse," Omar bin Laden told ABC News. "Their mentality wants to make more violence, to create more problems."

"Attacking peaceful people is not being fair, it is unacceptable. If you have a problem with armies or governments you should fight those people. This is what I find unacceptable in my father's way," he told ABC.

Osama even urged his sons to volunteer for suicide bombing missions.

While Omar praised the U.S. for its freedom and equality, he said his father only appreciated one thing about America – "their weapons."

He also said that Osama targeted the U.S. over Israel because "he thinks America is weaker than Israel. America is easier to get attacked, with its huge cities. He sees America is the main power, but in fact is weak in certain ways."

Among other things Omar said about his father:

• The root of his anger at the U.S. was their military presence in Saudi Arabia, home to several Muslim holy sites.

• Osama disliked the secular regime of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and there was "no connection" between the two.

• While he declared war against the U.S. in 1996 from a cave in Afghanistan, he used the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to inflame the passions of new recruits.

Omar bin Laden said his family – up to 40 members – are currently living in Iran after crossing over from Afghanistan prior to the U.S. invasion in 2001. They live under house arrest in Tehran, but enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, he said.

I find this part of the interview to be the most revealing:

The root of his anger at the U.S. was their military presence in Saudi Arabia, home to several Muslim holy sites.

His father [Osama bin Laden] only appreciated one thing about America – "their weapons."

He [Omar bin Laden] also said that Osama targeted the U.S. over Israel because "he thinks America is WEAKER than Israel.

While he [Osama bin Laden] declared war against the U.S... he [only] used the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to inflame the passions of new recruits.

Also:

Osama bin Laden's exended family fled Afghanistan in 2001 and crossed into Iran where, "They live under house arrest in Tehran, but enjoy a comfortable lifestyle". Undoubtedly the huse arrest is for the bin Laden family's personal safety.

Hm...Tehran just got a little more interesting.

Weaker, huh? See? The muzzies equate weakness of will with INABILITY —the SAME THING. When we hold back they see this as weakness.

How come Osama's never said this? He had plenty of opportunity to.

No doubt Osama will be passing soon, he is elderly and has been injured in at least one of our attacks.

Things in this country are gonna get a teensy weensy bit more dangerous

It would be interesting to see a meeting between Obama and Osama. How low would he bow?

Note the similarity in their names.

I hope we catch him and throw him into a raging active volcano before he dies of natural causes.

You mean Barraco Husseinie Obummer, aka Barry?

Of coarse he is a plant.

The dems, including Obama, were bought by George Soros, the puppet master.

I'm surprised they haven't attacked middle America malls, schools, churches, synagogues etc. They could terrorize much, much more that way.

In one way, I think they are actually afraid to do that. After about the third or fourth attack, a rousing game of cowboys and muslims might break out.

I want no harm to come to any Americans, but I'm no Polyanna.

‘How come Osama’s never said this? He had plenty of opportunity to.”

I think Osama WANTS the world, especially those he’s attempting to recruit,to think that his primary motivation is the West’s (America’s) support of Isreal’s incursion (Osama’s opinion) into territory that was Palestian territory. This dates back to the enlargement of Israeli territory that occurred as a result of the 1967 war.

The above described “motive” for Osama’s aggression against the U.S. is what Osama himself recently claimed in his “Open letter to the American People” which is available on the web in the form of a transcript.

He has on several occasions, including his first statements after 9/11.

I believe he did. We have no more bases in Saudi Arabia, so apparently that wasn't the real or only reason.

This is a great book:

The author does an amazing job of telling the story of the principles in the Al Qaeda, including Osama. It's been a few years since I read it but I am pretty sure that was where I learned this.

Fresh from beating the Russians in Afghanistan Obama went back to Saudi Arabia and offered to defend the oil fields against Saddam at the time of the first Gulf War to prevent the soiling of the sacred sands of Arabia by the infidels of the US Army. He was laughed at by the Saudi defense minister. That pissed him off, and the rest is history...

Only if we get rid of those congress-critters who still claim that Islam is a ROP, and there are still plenty of those misguided souls in DC.

We are at war with Islam, and not just with Al-Qaeda. The proof of this is evident in the fact that in all Muslim countries Christian citizens are harrassed or plainly persecuted with the consent of its government.

“Their weapons’’. The only thing any dirtbag understands—fire superiority and the willingness to use it. We have the former but not always the latter.
