What he said in that tape could have taken place at any time in the last 5 years. Tell me what part of this shows it is recent: 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 ...." 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.
how did he know Kerry was going to be the 2004 nominee, if he made the tape in 2002 for example.
