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.

Jimi Hendrix??? Oh no, say it ain't so?

OK, so now we know that the whiter-than-thou crowd considers GW Bush an "Israel-firster" too.

Golly.

Essentially, what you are saying is that America is Israel's hostage. Fair enough.

Are you being intentionally dense???.....I am saying and any child could understand it that Israel is our friend and on top of that it is in OUR best interest(America first...ring a bell?) to help defend her and in so doing keep the region as stable as possible.

See what I meant about the forces of PC?

Oh now, don't get into a persecutorial mode. My innocent response to your Talmudic caricaturing was also zapped.

"Just abstract political discussion and it's Orwell's memory hole for me. See what I meant about the forces of PC?"

Tell someone who cares. I suggest the zundelsite.

Where is the button I can push for people to have a sense of humor, or at least thicker skin?

O MY GOSH --- the conspiracy goes deeper than I thought! (and your either young or your kidding , right?)

[Amerigomag]

I'll quit if you'll stop supporting Israel, get out of my country and leave Saddam Hussein alone. OBL

(awwww yeah)

There's a red cave over yonder
That's where Osama stays
Allah, there's a red cave over yonder
Allah, that's where Osama stays
Omar ain't been home to see Osama
In 99 and one-half days

Wait a minute something's wrong here
The bomb just unlocked this door
Wait a minute something's wrong
Allah have mercy, this bomb just unlocked this door
(something's going on here...)
I have a good good feeling
That Osama don't live ... no more

That's all right, I still got my B-52...look out now!
Yeah

Well I might as well go back over yonder
Way back upon the hills
(that's what I'm gonna do)
Allah, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back beyond across the hills
Because if Osama don't love the goats no more
I know his momma will

Look what you started: 330 posts and counting.

And all because you wanted to prove that you and Osama were right and some (unnamed) "Israel-firsters" were wrong about Osama's motives in attacking the United States.

Well, I am willing to concede the point: to you and Osama, it is all about Israel.

Happy now?

I hit the exacta--both of you are miffed at me--oh boo hoo. (And V., how am I obsessed with you? It's the first time I ever mentioned you. Wishful thinking, maideleh?)

The Jews can do no right and the Jews can do no wrong: you're both right--no--you're both wrong!

[veronica]

I am not miffed by you - I am amused by you. And your delight at getting my attention. Whatever makes your boat float. Nice to have a fan club....

[veronica]

Having fantasies again? Those teen hormones making you a little daft?

[Pharmboy]

You are truly delusional. Truly.

He said on the earlier private video( where he laughs about the bombing) it had nothing to do with our foreign policy and everything to do with converting the world to Islam he is just changing rhetoric to drum up Arab support.
