Osama bin Laden is trying to flex his frail sickly muscles again. Al Qaeda is publicizing what is purported to be the fifth audio tape by him this year.
(CNN) — An audio recording attributed to Osama bin Laden called on Europeans to abandon Afghanistan and accused NATO troops of killing women and children there.
This message is obviously not intended for Western intake. We know that its not true. He, or whoever is doing these tapes, obviously wants the uneducated of the Middle East, Hollywood and other useful idiots to believe that the monster Westerners are over there feeding on their young.
He actually claims that Westerners don’t respect the rules of war as proved by us killing women and children. This coming from the man primarily responsible for killing thousands of women and children and who continues to use women and children to carry out his attacks while he cowers in a cave in Pakistan/Afghanistan. But again, that’s not intended for us. Its intended to incite those who hate us, like the hollywood pretty boys and Congressmen who would see us defeated.
In Thursday’s message, the speaker claims sole responsibility for the September 11, 2001, attacks and accuses America’s NATO allies of killing civilians in Afghanistan, where the country’s Taliban rulers allowed al Qaeda to operate prior to 9/11.
Ut-oh. Is he feeling irrelevant? It sounds like he’s feeling like someone else is trying to take credit for his murderous work! He’s having to remind us that he’s relevant. He’s having to remind us that it was he, the mighty bin Laden who murdered American women and children completely at random on September 11, 2001. Yes, I think he’s feeling a tad irrelevant. He’s just not important anymore.
The previous message from bin Laden included no dated references, making it impossible to determine when it was taped based on its contents. In the message, bin Laden called on his followers to be loyal to the Islamic nation, not to individual leaders, groups, tribes or countries.
The tape marked the first time bin Laden spoke directly to the militants.
“Beware of your enemies, especially those who infiltrate your ranks,” he said in Arabic.
“I advise myself and the Islamic nation not to follow individuals and countries,” he said. “Everything should be seen in the light of Islam.”
Addressing the mujahedeen in Iraq as “my brothers,” he said, “You have done well to perform your duty.”
And this is the basis of the problem. They are not one nation or even a group of nations. This is a war with an ideology that has no boundaries and their loyalty is to their ideology, not to their neighbors. friends and country.
In September, an audio message purportedly from bin Laden urged “jihad” against Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. That message — titled “Come to Jihad: A Speech to the People of Pakistan” — was recorded over a montage of old video, and began with bin Laden reciting prayers and citations from the Quran in Arabic. The audio then faded, and a narrator translated bin Laden’s message into Pashto. The tape was subtitled in English, and an Arabic transcript was released.
And President Musharraf has had his hands full since that tape was released. Obviously, the mujahedeen in Pakistan listened and have been attempting to create chaos and lawlessness in Pakistan. That is a dire situation that is much too complicated to be solved with platitudes and armchair philosophizing.
