| Bin Laden Accuses Bush of Deceiving Americans

Reuters reports that Osama bin Laden appeared on Al Jazeera television on Saturday accusing President Bush of deceiving the American people:

In an address just days ahead of the U.S. presidential election, bin Laden also said the U.S. administration resembled “corrupt” Arab governments.

More details in the GWoT section.

If nothing else, I guess we just found out that he isn’t dead yet, as some have speculated.

Intelligence Riddle

John Kerry meets with the Queen of England. He asks her,

“Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?”

“Well,” says the Queen, “the most important thing is to surround
yourself with intelligent people.”

Kerry frowns. “But how do I know the people around me are really
intelligent?”

The Queen takes a sip of tea. “Oh, that’s easy. You just ask them
to answer an intelligent riddle.” The Queen pushes a button on her
intercom. “Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?”

Tony Blair walks into the room. “Yes, my Queen?” The Queen
smiles. “Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a
child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?”

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, “That would be me.”

“Yes! Very good,” says the Queen.

Kerry goes back home to ask John Edwards, his vice presidential
choice the same question. “John. Answer this for me. Your mother
and your father have a child. It’s not your brother and it’s not your
sister. Who is it?”

“I’m not sure,” says John Edwards. “Let me get back to you on
that one.” Edwards goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none
can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men’s room and
recognizes Colin Powell’s shoes in the next stall. Edwards shouts,
“Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a
child and it’s not your brother or your sister. Who is it?” Colin

Powell yells back, “That’s easy. It’s me!”

Edwards smiles, and says, “Thanks!” Then, Edwards goes back to
speak with Kerry. “Say, I did some research and I have the answer to
that riddle. It’s Colin Powell.”

Kerry gets up, stomps over to John Edwards, and angrily yells into his face,

“No, you idiot! It’s Tony Blair!”

MAY GOD BE WITH US DURING THIS ELECTION.

So OBL is saying Bush lied. Now, are America’s enemies taking their talking points from Kerry and the Democrats or are these the talking points Kerry has picked up from those who hate America?

Well, who cares - if the two sound similar and Kerry is in agreement with your enemies why would you ever consider electing him?

I know that sounds really over the top, but when the Palestinian Authority endorses Kerry, as well as an anti-Western leader in Indonesia, surely you got to be asking yourself, if Kerry is so well liked by your enemies, is he the person you want protecting the country?

Rob, since the debates Kerry has been saying he’s going after Bin Laden, and hunting down terrorists. Criticising Bush for ignoring Bin Laden

In retaliation Bush has actually said he was ‘no longer concerned with Bin Laden’. I’ve always thought that was strange concidering he was the one who carried of the attacks. And also Bush’s supporters refusal to regard that significant.

“Bush played down the remaining threat represented by Osama bin Laden, saying he does not know where the al Qaeda leader is and dismissing the man he once wanted “dead or alive” as “a person who has now been marginalized.” He called bin Laden “the ultimate parasite who found weakness, exploited it, and met his match. . . . I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A22091-2002Mar13&notFound=true

You may question Kerry’s ability to carry out what he says but at least that’s his actual intention.

Concerning UBL tape: This comment is the most disturbing because of our support to Israel. Kerry will turn his back on Israel. I hope the Jewish community caught this.

“Admitting for the first time that he ordered the Sept. 11 attacks, bin Laden said he did so because of injustices against the Lebanese and Palestinians by Israel and the United States.”

So basically, Bin Laden is calling for the American people to NOT back Israel which would be a Kerry Presidency. NO THANKS!!! Live or Die I prefer NOT to turn our backs on Israel…EVER!!!

Kerry is shown to be an appeaser and will succumb to Bin Laden by turning his back on Israel.
