Reverend Sensing's translation of bin Laden is here.
Really, what's he going to do? Bleed on us?
More seriously, it is kind of amusing that bin Laden recounts the history of our actions in Iraq from the Persian Gulf War to the Iraq War (and, by the way, uses the Iraq War as part of his excuse for 9-11 one-and-a-half years earlier) and only seems to mention President Bush and his father:
This means the oppressing and embargoing to death of millions as Bush Sr. did in Iraq in the greatest mass slaughter of children mankind has ever known, and it means the throwing of millions of pounds of bombs and explosives at millions of children -- also in Iraq -- as Bush Jr. Did, in order to remove an old agent and replace him with a new puppet to assist in the pilfering of Iraq's oil and other outrages.
“So with these images and their like as their background, the events of September 11th came as a reply to those great wrongs, should a man be blamed for defending his sanctuary?
Bin Laden doesn't mention that actual Persian Gulf War, so I guess he's in agreement with a lot of war opponents here that the 1991 war was just. Or perhaps it is just an oversight.
So where is President Clinton in this stretch of time from 1992 to 2003? I mean, did the pilfering and other outrages stop from 1993 to January 2000?
But really, bin Laden is in danger of running afoul of McCain-Feingold regulations if he keeps repeating Howard Dean talking points without reporting his funding sources.
