KipWellsFan Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 courtesy cbc.ca QATAR - Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden appeared in a new videotaped message aired on an Arabic television station Friday, finally claiming responsibility for the 2001 attacks against the United States, just four days before the American presidential election. "We decided to destroy towers in America" because "we are a free people... and we want to regain the freedom of our nation," bin Laden said, dressed in yellow and white robes and videotaped against a plain brown background. In the 18-minute message, played on Qatar-based Al-Jazeera, bin Laden threatened new attacks against Americans if the policies of George W. Bush's government do not change, and outlined "the best way to avoid another Manhattan." According to translators, bin Laden told American voters: "Your security is not in the hands of [Democratic candidate John] Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. Your security is in your hands." Bin Laden said he decided that militants should start planning to attack the United States in the wake of Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, when apartment towers in Beirut were bombed. The U.S. backed Israel in that action, he said. He said al-Qaeda's suicide airplane attacks against the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, would have been less severe if Bush had been more vigilant and acted more quickly on that day. Bin Laden also Bush had misled the American people in the three years since 19 hijackers sent seized airplanes flying into the high-profile targets. "Bush is still deceiving you and hiding the truth from you and therefore the reasons are still there to repeat what happened," he said. Very interesting stuff here. Althought I'm not sure what to make of it all. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 hey, why not. 5 Damn optical allusion. Before reading this thread I thought the picture was an eagle. The knife's reflection off the water looks like the spread wings of a bird. A white impression made with the jaw's submersion in water appears similiar to the wake left by a passing speedboat. Anyone else see this s***? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 Osama Bin Laden endorses John Kerry. How appropriate. Maybe you heard something that I didn't but in no way did Osama endorse Kerry. And even if he did who gives a shyte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Osama Bin Laden endorses John Kerry. How appropriate. "Your security is not in the hands of [Democratic candidate John] Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. Your security is in your hands." That was Osama Bin Laden. How is that an endorsement of Kerry? Oh yeah, and how is Bush feeling about Iran and Libya endorsing him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
