CAIRO, Egypt - Osama bin Laden warned Iraq's Sunni Arabs against joining tribal councils fighting al-Qaida or participating in any unity government, in a new Internet audiotape on Saturday.

"The most evil of the traitors are those who trade away their religion for the sake of their mortal life," bin Laden said in the tape.

He denounced Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha, the leader of the Anbar Awakening Council, a tribal force fighting al-Qaida in western Iraq, who was killed in a bombing in September.

Bin Laden said U.S. and Iraqi officials are seeking to set up a "national unity government" joining the country's Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds.

"Our duty is to foil these dangerous schemes, which try to prevent the establishment of an Islamic state in Iraq, which would be a wall of resistance against American schemes to divide Iraq," he said.

I wonder whether OBL denounced him in the past or present tense?

Let’s see, an Iraqi Unity gov’t. of Shia, Sunni, and Kurd Iraqis will divide Iraq? Kind of explains the backwards march of fundamental Islamists. Unity = division, peace=violence, life =death. This is who we are dealing with.

The (probably dead) Bin Laden denouncing the already dead (unfortunately) Sattar Abu Risha. The Al-Qaedos can’t even get the timing right.

Well, not exactly.

The most evil are those that send women and children out to do their own cowardly dirty work as homicide bombers.

The most evil are those cowards who hide behind others instead of stepping up to the plate themselves.

Hopefully, centuries of inbred ignorance will eventually be overcome by "true enlightenment".

Osama baby's tone has certainly changed. I no longer detect triumphalist confidence. It sounds like wheedling fear and he's begging Iraqis not to desert Al Qaeda. A strong horse rider wouldn't need to do that. Too bad!

American schemes to divide Iraq by setting up a “national unity government”? Makes sense to me.

Bin Laden releases tapes the way Hank Jr releases records, one right after the other. I’m waiting for someone to come out with a Bin Laden re-mix. Maybe an acoustic version or even a duet with Hugo Chavez.

He even apologized in one of his previous announcements for the barbarous acts of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. I think this 6’ 4” piece of camel dung now realizes his dream of being the khalifa of a restored Islamic super-state was based on nothing more than wishful thinking, and that as his movement disintegrates around him that the price on his head will be too hard for one of his followers to resist (esp. for one disgruntled or disillusioned).

Bin Laden issues warning on Iraq, Israel in new audiotape to unify al-Qaida

http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5gl047nqYFiUnPCzPN6Nw9Sm7cbWA

Osama bin Laden warned Iraq’s Sunni Arabs against fighting al-Qaida and promised to expand the terror group’s holy war to Israel in a new audiotape Saturday, threatening “blood for blood, destruction for destruction.”

Most of the 56-minute tape dealt with Iraq, apparently al-Qaida’s latest attempt to keep supporters in Iraq unified at a time when the U.S. military claims to have al-Qaida’s Iraq branch on the run.

The tape did not mention Pakistan or the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, though Pakistan’s government has blamed al-Qaida and the Taliban for her death on Thursday.

But bin Laden’s comments offered an unusually direct attack on Israel, which has warned of growing al-Qaida activity in Palestinian territory. The terror network is not believed to have taken a strong role there so far.

“We intend to liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea,” he said, threatening “blood for blood, destruction for destruction.”

“We will not recognize even one inch for Jews in the land of Palestine as other Muslim leaders have,” bin Laden said.
