CBright7831 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2004 New Osama Tape: Bush, Kerry Can't Protect You Al-Jazeera Airs Videotape by Bin Laden CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - The Arab television station Al-Jazeera aired a video of Osama bin Laden on Friday directly admitting for the first time that he carried out the Sept. 11 attacks and promising to outline ``the best way to avoid another Manhattan.'' It was the first footage of the al-Qaida leader to surface in more than a year. The video showed bin Laden in traditional white robes, a turban and a cloak reading from papers and standing in front of a plain, brown cloth background. ``We decided to destroy towers in America,'' bin Laden said. He said the attack was carried out because ``we are a free people ... and we want to regain the freedom of our nation.'' He also accused President Bush of ``misleading'' the American people three years since the 2001 suicide airline hijackings that hit the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp.../1616252634.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 This will certainly help Bush. Every poll shows Bush is trusted with Security and Terror by an overwhelming majority of the public.

Being reminded that Osama bin Laden is still alive after 3 years on the run is supposed to help Bush? Osama bin Laden is an egomaniac. Basically he wants to screw with our election. In the scheme of things, Osama wins if you let his reappearance influence your vote. Osama wins if you intrepret his words and change your vote to go against one candidate (Bush or Kerry). Fuck Osama He won't change my vote Will you let him change your vote? He won't change my mind Having this "monkey" put down the commander in chief isn't going to fly with public. Osama is doing what some call "trolling" After all we're not Spain. The difference between this tape and what happened in Spain is that the Spanish were attacked and he's just releasing a tape to us at the moment. I don't see a clear connection between killing hundreds of people and bashing the President. In conclusion, Fuck Osama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 Well, I guess this puts an end to the dumbass theory that Bush would "suddenly" catch bin Laden right before the election. Seriously though, the guy is living in caves and will have to the rest of his life. I know he's still a threat, but is anyone really worried? If we just let bin Laden go, it will send a message to other terrorists that their crimes against the U.S. will go unpunished. Don't you think the man who had 3,000 people killed deserves to be punished? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 I agree, fuck him. How would anyone here prefer to kill him? I'd personally prefer to kick him to death. I'm not sure on the specific methods, but his corpse would end up being displayed like Mussolini's was. When it comes to finishing off OBL. The sooner, the better. Well, I guess this puts an end to the dumbass theory that Bush would "suddenly" catch bin Laden right before the election. Right now, there's probably a better shot of an OBL capture on January 20th than by November 2nd If we just let bin Laden go, it will send a message to other terrorists that their crimes against the U.S. will go unpunished. Don't you think the man who had 3,000 people killed deserves to be punished? I'm concerned about finding him and finishing him off. I know there's a shot that he could be martyred by his crazy followers. But then again, there's no real way to get him without somebody claiming that bullshit.

Bush should get a late bump from this, since he's perceieved as the "stronger" one. Kerry will have to tread lightly... Oh, and yeah, I noticed INXS's "new" avatar as well....VERY interesting....
