Osama Bin Laden Tape Threatens U.S. States Not to Vote for Bush By: Yigal Carmon*

The tape of Osama bin Laden that was aired on Al-Jazeera(1) on Friday, October 29th included a specific threat to "each U.S. state," designed to influence the outcome of the upcoming election against George W. Bush. The U.S. media in general mistranslated the words "ay wilaya" (which means "each U.S. state")(2) to mean a "country" or "nation" other than the U.S., while in fact the threat was directed specifically at each individual U.S. state. This suggests some knowledge by bin Laden of the U.S. electoral college system. In a section of his speech in which he harshly criticized George W. Bush, bin Laden stated: "Any U.S. state that does not toy with our security automatically guarantees its own security."

Ok, so I guess that means that Canada won't vote for Bush.

It is pretty sad bin Laden, or whoever is playing him because he is dead in Tora Bora, knows more about the electoral college than our democrats.

On Nov. 2nd, we will show the character of our country. The question is, will it be "Bring it on" or "Cut and run".

I am so angry that wanker Osama thinks ANYONE in the U.S. gives a rat's ass about what he says.

You're a WANKER Osama, you get it? A big fat dumb ugly stupid poo poo face! And American soldiers are going to find you and kill you.

If this is an accurate translation and analysis about a third of it is a rehash of DemoRat talking points. I always figured Osama was a DemoRat, I wonder if he gave them these talking points or they gave 'em to him?

Two things are clear from Ben Laden's video tape: #1) He ain't bright comming up for air and causing an overwhelming victory by Bush and a certain increase in his pursuit. And #2) It obviously gauls Osama's derriere that Bush stayed calm and rational after he was advised of the attacks on the towers. Why else would 'Laden make such a big deal about Bush listening to a little girl ready her story ? Bush will win by a landslide because of his core values, convictions and faith. Those who have none cannot understand. Having been in numerous disastorous situations I know there is a time to shout orders and a time to remain calm. President Bush nailed it.

Well, speaking for Michigan, and in the word's of an immortal Irishman in post-911 NYC; Osama bin-Laden, you can kiss my royal Irish ass!

Screw you, you swarthy little half-a-sissy.

You dare to threaten the country which has made the lives of your fellow Saudi's and Muslims better, the nation which feeds much of the world when their own leaders won't, the nation which supplied you with the technology you needed to push the Soviets out of Afghanistan, and the one nation which has bled for the freedom of others, Muslims included, when no one else would.

We helped you in Afghanistan. Your response was to murder 3000 citizens of the nation which helped you. You are an ungrateful ignorant sumbitch. You need killin'.

So bring on your bullshit coward pussy attacks; Americans have withstood such before and they will now. Your attempts to sway OUR election will fail, because we are not the Spanish, we are Americans.

We have been killing you for 3 years now and we will keep on killing you, because you started the killing. We will end the killing, even if we have to hunt down every last Muslim murderer on the face of the earth. You will suffer the same historical fate as Hitler. You are done, over, finished. Just like Kerry, whom you hoped would be elected. He is not worthy of the trust of the American people, the majority of whom want to see you dead. And you will be dead.

I'm General George S. Patton, and I approved this message.

Possibly he's so upset because AlQueda were sure that Bush would immediately get on AIr Force One and head for DC, and they had a plan to take down AF1 as part of the 9/11 operation?

America needs to see the entire tape UNCUT!!! But, just as the media cut out the part about skerry's military record from the second airing of his interview, they have cut out the parts of obl's tape that would be helpful to President Bush!!! We must declare war on the media!
