A new audio tape was released by al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden today. On the tape, the elusive terrorist condemned US President Barack Obama, blaming him for the bloodshed and humanitarian disaster in Pakistan’s Swat Valley.
Bin Laden said the president is “walking the same road of his predecessors to build enmity against Muslims and increasing the number of fighters, and establishing more lasting wars.” He added that the US pressure that led to the Swat Valley offensive had generated “new seeds of hatred and revenge against America.”
The tape is the first public assessment of the Obama Administration’s policy made by the reclusive bin Laden. It is believed that the recording may be several weeks old, and was made at the peak of the Swat Valley offensive.
The offensive, which came after public US opposition to a peace deal between the Pakistani government and several Taliban-styled groups, drove millions of civilians from their homes and laid waste to what was at one time a popular tourist destination.
I thought Bin Laden was dead. Anyone heard this?
The Bush Administration at one time indulged itself in fantasies that it had killed bin Laden, but gave up after he kept showing up on new video clips.
Surely this is a jest. Bin Laden? No one actually believes that Bin Laden is anything more than a puppet on a string, do they? People still believe in "Emmanuel Goldstein," AKA the boogie man? Also, I'm with Mthie. I seriously (seriously) doubt that Bin Laden is still alive. I figure he's been dead for many years. C'mon, People, let's move one! Let's look a little deeper. Let's stop being naive. This is the 21st Century. We don't have to be deluded any longer. The information is out there. Turn off "American Idol" and do something you lives.
