Successful Businessman, Osama bin-Laden, Endorses Dear Old Friend, George W. Bush

You, the American people, I talk to you today about the best way to avoid another catastrophe and about war, its reasons and its consequences.

And in that regard, I say to you that security is an important pillar of human life, and that free people do not compromise their security.

Contrary to what [President George W.] Bush says and claims -- that we hate freedom --let him tell us then, "Why did we not attack Sweden?" It is known that those who hate freedom don't have souls with integrity, like the souls of those 19. May the mercy of God be upon them.

We fought with you because we are free, and we don't put up with transgressions. We want to reclaim our nation. As you spoil our security, we will do so to you.

I wonder about you. Although we are ushering the fourth year after 9/11, Bush is still exercising confusion and misleading you and not telling you the true reason. Therefore, the motivations are still there for what happened to be repeated.

And I will talk to you about the reason for those events, and I will be honest with you about the moments the decision was made so that you can ponder. And I tell you, God only knows, that we never had the intentions to destroy the towers.

But after the injustice was so much and we saw transgressions and the coalition between Americans and the Israelis against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, it occurred to my mind that we deal with the towers. And these special events that directly and personally affected me go back to 1982 and what happened when America gave permission for Israel to invade Lebanon. And assistance was given by the American sixth fleet.

During those crucial moments, my mind was thinking about many things that are hard to describe. But they produced a feeling to refuse and reject injustice, and I had determination to punish the transgressors.

And as I was looking at those towers that were destroyed in Lebanon, it occurred to me that we have to punish the transgressor with the same -- and that we had to destroy the towers in America so that they taste what we tasted, and they stop killing our women and children.

We found no difficulties in dealing with the Bush administration, because of the similarities of that administration and the regimes in our countries, half of which are run by the military and half of which are run by monarchs. And our experience is vast with them.

And those two kinds are full of arrogance and taking money illegally.

The resemblance started when [former President George H.W.] Bush, the father, visited the area, when some of our own were impressed by America and were hoping that the visits would affect and influence our countries.

Then, what happened was that he was impressed by the monarchies and the military regimes, and he was jealous of them staying in power for tens of years, embezzling the public money without any accountability. And he moved the tyranny and suppression of freedom to his own country, and they called it the Patriot Act, under the disguise of fighting terrorism. And Bush, the father, found it good to install his children as governors and leaders.

We agreed with the leader of the group, Mohammed Atta, to perform all attacks within 20 minutes before [President George W.] Bush and his administration were aware of what was going on. And we never knew that the commander-in-chief of the American armed forces would leave 50,000 of his people in the two towers to face those events by themselves when they were in the most urgent need of their leader.

He was more interested in listening to the child's story about the goat rather than worry about what was happening to the towers. So, we had three times the time necessary to accomplish the events.

Your security is not in the hands of [Democratic presidential nominee John] Kerry or Bush or al Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands. Any nation that does not attack us will not be attacked.

proBush goons and the rest of the World agrees. OBL's video will help Bush. Since the race is tied it looks like OBL will get his wish and actually determine the race's outcome.

Clearly a coup for Bush. If Bin Laden is trying to turn the Middle East (and the World) away from America, then getting a ham-fisted bigot like Bush Jnr back into the White House is clearly Bin Laden's best bet. Bush and Bin Laden are each others best political asset. Only Bush can make the world hate America in the way Bin Laden wants. Bin Laden is rooting for Bush and he knows every dumb American will fall for his wheeze.

Any one who believes that this is authentic needs to grease their brain cells. Bush's administration has clearly masterminded this tape. Osama must have access to plastic surgery in the hills to do away with his wrinkles. As "security" is the only word that Bush can talk...he's now got his cowboys to get a tape made where even his apparent enemy, Osama says the same.. in the last weekend before elections! Wake up America! Makes me think what tape Blair will come up with in the weekend before May's elections!
Jamie Brum, London

Since Bush carried out Osama Bin Laden's wishes by removing Saddam from power - after all the only proven connection between al-Qaeda and Saddam is that al-Qaeda tried to assassinate Saddam on several occasions - I am sure Bush will welcome this message of support from his fellow war criminal. Surely even the American people aren't stupid (or brainwashed) enough to re-elect GW Shrub ?
Graeme, UK

It seems obvious to me that Bin Laden has released the tape in order to help Bush win the election. People will tend to vote for Bush out of fear or Kerry through reason. The mess Bush has made in Iraq has boosted Islamic Fundamentalism. Bush and Bin Laden Need each other.
Westlake, UK

George Bush told the reporters in March 2002 he wasn't that concerned about Bin Laden at all. Well, the videotape shows that Bin Laden cares about George Bush and wants him to be re-elected. After three years he is still not being caught by this Commander in Chief. By rushing into war with Iraq without a good plan to win the peace and all the mistakes being made George Bush has proven to be by far the best recruiting agent for Al Qaeda since years. For sure, Bin Laden wants George to be re-elected on Election Day.

I wonder how close the links are between Bush's team and Al Jazeera? Could it be that the TV station has had the tape for some time but Bush's team has good contacts with them and has persuaded them to withhold its release until just before the election to scare the undecided voters into the Bush camp?
Paddy Briggs, UK

This is bad news for Kerry. There's nothing that Bush wants more than to keep people scared. Bin Laden helps keep the hysteria machine in motion.
Christopher, Japan

America needs the world's watchful eyes on our election. I am afraid that "Bush" is going to hijack the elections in America. These latest videos are the Bush Administrations attempt to scare voters into voting for him. Please be our eyes and ears!
C. Proctor, Seattle, WA USA

Osama Bin Laden wants George Bush to win this election. George Bush represents a unilateral endless war, an alienation of traditional allies, the destruction of U.S.-Arab relations worldwide, and an ongoing attack on the Bill of Rights here at home. In terms of destroying America, Bush is Osama Bin Laden's dream come true.
Brent Norton, US

As if no one saw this coming. A blatant attempt to try to influence another election. Osama must think he is the ultimate puppet master. What it does is reinforce the point that Bush has failed miserably.
Julie, USA

This Conveniently helps add to the myth that al-Qaeda is all powerful and everywhere, causing fear in the general population and playing straight into the hands of the politicians, like Bush and Blair, who need a perceived enemy to stay in power.
Quin MacLeod, UK

This tape will only reinforce our support of G.W. Bush
Boris, Nashville, USA

In my opinion Bin Laden wants to keep Bush in office... It is wise to have an ineffectual opponent which has done everything since 9/11 to isolate US and strengthen Al Qaeda.
Wali, Canada

How convenient. This can only help Bush.
Sandra Rutter, USA

Expect the see the American voter respond to this event in the direct opposite to the way the Spanish voter reacted to the Madrid bombings.
