Pathetic: OBL Nails * on qWagmire
Bin Laden: Goal is to bankrupt U.S.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/01/binladen.tape/index.html

"It is true that this shows that al Qaeda has gained, but on the other hand it shows that the Bush administration has also gained, something that anyone who looks at the size of the contracts acquired by the shady Bush administration-linked mega-corporations, like Halliburton and its kind, will be convinced.

"And it all shows that the real loser is you," he said. "It is the American people and their economy."

As for President Bush's Iraq policy, Bin Laden said, "the darkness of black gold blurred his vision and insight, and he gave priority to private interests over the public interests of America.

"So the war went ahead, the death toll rose, the American economy bled, and Bush became embroiled in the swamps of Iraq that threaten his future," bin Laden said.

1. Kick
Getting lost in all the election talk. I find this very interesting.


(CNN) -- The Arabic-language network Al-Jazeera released a full transcript Monday of the most recent videotape from Osama bin Laden in which the head of al Qaeda said his group's goal is to force America into bankruptcy

He also said al Qaeda has found it "easy for us to provoke and bait this administration."


Wonder why we didn't hear any of these quotes when the story first broke? Of course, * certainly doesn't need any help forcing this country into bankruptcy. That's one area where he's doing a bang-up job.
