Bin Laden's new message mostly about Israel
Al-Qaeda terror leader Osama Bin Laden has released a new audiotape and this one is mostly about Israel. "To begin, I say: We have already shown, and we have stated many times in more than two decades since the start of our disagreement with you, which is caused by your support for the Israelis who are occupying our land of Palestine, and which led us to carry out the events on September 11, 2001," Osama bin Laden said.I guess all those apologies Obama made to the Muslim world have really changed some opinions, haven't they?
At two points in the recording, bin Laden refers to recent political events, indicating the tape is not more than two months old. Bin Laden referred to Obama's speech in Cairo, which took place on June 4, and which bin Laden described it as "recent." Further, bin Laden talked about former President Jimmy Carter's visit to Gaza in June. He mentions one of Carter's quotes: "The people of Gaza are treated more like animals than human beings," which he said on June 16. Bin Laden referred to this quote as have taken place "several weeks ago."
Bin Laden also condemned the Israeli invasion of Gaza, earlier this year. He said some of the bombs used in Israel were American made, and that life in Gaza is "tragic to the point that children are dying in the hands of their parents and doctors due to the lack of food and medicine."
Bin Laden said Al-Qaeda will continue to defend their right "to liberate our land," when referring to Palestine. He also criticized the Obama administration, saying it "works along the lines of Cheney and Bush and promote the policies of intimidation."

OBL's comments are a very interesting spin on "Palestinian" propaganda for 3 reasons:
1. OBL has abandoned his starting premise of justifying attacks on the West in a bid to re-establish the caliphate - the restoration of Andalusia - as he pronounced in his first tape following the first attacks on al Qaeda strongholds in Afghanistan after 9/11.
2. He has latched onto the more widely popular bashing of Israel as the source of all the world's problems. Even the West will find this amenable. His pandering will be called "moderate" and "reasonable". His ulterior motive though is al Qaeda's active competition with Hizballah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. The 3 Katyushas fired into Israel on 9/11 were from an AQ group (ostensibly against the wishes of the Hizbos). In Gaza, AQ is direct armed competition with Hamas.
3. OBL directly competes with Dear Leader Hussein Obama for a stake in a claim on the Pali issue, especially with respect to the Pali propaganda line and false history that were pronounced to all the world by Obama in Cairo.
In the end OBL and BHO will meet for hugs and kisses over a steaming pile of dead bodies. A disgusting thought, but not without some foundation.
