Osama bin Laden: responsible for the September 11 attacks
Osama bin Laden last night urged European countries to leave Afghanistan and reiterated that he had presided over the September 11 attacks.
In a new audio recording aired last night, the leader of al-Qa'eda said the US had "insisted on invading" Afghanistan even though it knew that the Afghans were not behind the attacks, and that "Europe walked behind it". "The American tide is ebbing," he said in a message addressed to the European public. "It is better for you to restrain your politicians who are thronging the steps of the White House."
By following the US to Afghanistan, Europe could only be a "subordinate" to Washington, he said.
Bin Laden added: "The truth, as I said before, is that the Manhattan events were in retaliation for the killing of our kinfolk in Palestine and Lebanon by the US-Israeli alliance and that I am responsible for them.
"I affirm that the Afghans - government and people - had no knowledge whatsoever of these events and America knows that."
The message, his fifth this year, came as Britain and America face shortfalls in combat support and equipment from many of their Nato partners in Afghanistan.
A spokesman from the US State Department dismissed the statement as "not a new tactic".
Slight redaction and addition.
He has a big mouth and acts like he is a ruler. The freaken guy is a killer! He isn’t the Muslim equivilent of a Pope. I can’t believe with a 10M bounty on his head he’s still walkin and talkin.
So let me try to follow his logic, The Taliban had nothing to do with Al Queda’s attacks, but for some reason Al Queda is supporting the Taliban and predicting the Taliban will defeat us. I guess Osama is so concerned about the Taliban just on “general principle”.
While at it, where is the religion of peace’s Fatwa or Jihad against radical Islam and Osama Bin Laden?
Silence tells me they are with the terrorist faction far more than with the civilized world.
Nice media non sequitor trying to make it look like Bin Laden's statement is part of a (nonexistent) victory over America.
Diktat?!
I doubt that he is.
Now THERE'S a tattoo I'm not interested in seeing....
Yawn. Bin you are a total bore......... And your fashion sense is really quite laughable. And where did you say you spent your college years? Do you still harbor those thoughts about Whitney Houston? Bin bin bin..........what will you think of next.....
Ahhh, the Taliban had taken over Afghanistan, turned it back to the middle ages, or further back, trained his barbarians there, lived there - and we weren't suppose to go there? Truth is Binny, we know it wasn't the Afghanis = thats why we went to help them get rid of YOU - and get back into at least the 20th century. And if you're so concerned about the Afghanis - get to he*L out of the Kunar in the northeast, and the southern provinces.
This is little more than a ruse to turn the Afghanis against us.
Nice of you, tho' to again take credit for 9/11

"The US House of Representatives has voted unanimously to double the reward for Osama bin Laden's capture to $US50 million ($67.5 million).
This angry nutcase needs a home base and is probably tired of the caves he has to crawl around in...but then cowards cannot walk out in the open.
These slobs that promise virgins to their recruits (lol) continuously show the weakness of their faith by having to resort to such creepy lures. Can't believe how sexually repressed the terrorists are...one wonders if their society is simply a showcase of their own lack of manliness. In every way.
Their suppression and women evidences a tremendous lack of faith in themselves and a fear of a joyous life.
And the fact that they even use CHILDREN, strapping BOMBS on them and then forcing them to committ suicide, paying off mom and dad after the fact speaks to a sickness so perverted it smacks of satanism. Talk about genuinely psycho. Any God that has to use bribes and cruelty and who promotes the very cowardly act of killing the unarmed and unsuspecting is surely a man-made icon.
osama bin pigpen must REALLY MISS the taliban. Poor baby.
Osama, you made the same mistake Hitler did. You declared war on America. Give Adolf our regards when you see him in Hell.
In exchange, the Taliban protected ObL. Strictly speaking, al-quaida and Taliban are not the same thing ... The US cracked down on the Taliban because they were harboring ObL. It might be said that ObL bankrolled them, but cost them Afghanistan.
Dead man talking.
"I am still relevant!
No matter what George W. Bush and the US military has done to marginalize me and my outfit, Dammit I am STILL relevant!" (stamping feet, shaking fist, pouting)
