LONDON (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden (news - web sites), the world's most wanted man, said on a video broadcast by al-Jazeera satellite television on Wednesday that the September 11 suicide attacks were intended to stop U.S. support for Israel.
``Our terrorism against the United States is worthy of praise to deter the oppressor so that America stop its support for Israel, which is killing our children,'' the bearded, Saudi-born fugitive said.
He added that the tape was being issued to mark about three months since the attacks on New York and Washington and two months after the United States began its bombing of Afghan targets.
The remarks indicated the tape was recorded in early to mid December.
Looking tired but calm, bin Laden was dressed in a clean, camouflage-patterned combat jacket. He sat against a cloth or canvas screen, his Russian-designed submachinegun propped beside him. There was no indication where he was when he recorded the video.
Rotfl. Maddie, Osama's private lapdancer?
Of course the attack did the opposite of everything Osama and the mini-Osamas want - in the area of Israel - it brought the USA and Israel closer (HA!)....and made Americans dislike Arabs.
See new Zogby poll - posted here.
OBL mentioned Israel, and the US connection to it as not being in America's best interest, in a 1998 interview with ABC's John Miller.
The most relevant and true portion:
John Miller: The American People by the large do not know the name Osama Bin Ladin, but they soon will. Do you have a message to the American people?
Osama Bin Ladin: I say that the American people gave leadership to a traitorous leadership. This became very clear and especially in Clinton’s government. The American government, we think, is an agent that represents the Israel inside America. If we look at sensitive departments in the present government like the defense department or the state department, or sensitive security departments like the CIA and others, we find that Jews have the first word in the American government, which is how they use America to carry out their plans in the world and especially the Muslim world. The presence of Americans in the Holy Land supports the Jews and gives them a safe back. The American government, in a time where there are millions of Americans living on the street and those living below the standard of living and below the poverty line, we find the American government turning toward helping Israel in occupying our land and building settlements in the Holy Land. The American government is throwing away the lives of Americans in Saudi Arabia for the interests of the Jews. The Jews are a people who Allah cited in his holy book the Koran as those who attacked prophets with lies and killings, and attacked Mary and accused her of a great sin. They are a people who killed Allah’s prophets—would they not kill, rape and steal from humans? They believe that all humans are created for their use, and found that the Americans are the best-created beings for that use. The American Government is driving America to destruction and those same ones have no doubts about America being a superpower in the next decade. So, we tell the American as a people, and we tell the mothers of soldiers, and American mothers in general, if they value their lives and those of their children, find a nationalistic government that will look after their interests and not the interest of the Jews. The continuation of the tyranny will bring the fighting to America, like Ramzi Yousef and others. This is my message to the American people to look for a serious government that looks out for their interest and does not attack others, their lands or their honor.
It does.
It supports Israel. (-: More now than ever. The American people do too. So does Time's Person of The Year.
And there is not a damn thing the John Walker Osama Taliban loving Jew haters can do about it. EXCEPT - stew in their bile.
Sjirinovskij-spawn, VP?
Fair enough. Goodnight.
I think that characterization you make (Walker et al) is a bit much...but I'd like to point out that the pro-Israel situation you describe cannot last forever. The "appropriate parties" involved have a historical record of pushing too far too soon (I cite Egypt, England, Spain, Eastern Europe, Germany), and that will spark a rebellion. Two decades from now, I can't wait to enjoy watching what will happen to the appropriate parties :)
Veronica Veronica, Veronica. Sounds like YOU are obsessed with me. Get over it.
I am not paid - it's a labor of love. What is it with some people - it's all about money.

You mean the "Hand of G-d" goal? I must say that I no longer remember the World Cup game that followed the Falklands War in '86 except for my disappointment the the Argentine Bastards won, and cheated too.
I guess this turned you on.
