Bin Laden spoke in an audiotape posted Wednesday on Islamic militant Web sites where al-Qaida usually issues its messages. It was his first tape since May and came nearly three weeks after Israel started its campaign against Gaza's militant Hamas rulers.
Not that he's forgotten the other jihads! Oh no:
The al-Qaida leader also vowed that the terror network would open "new fronts" against the United States and its allies beyond Iraq and Afghanistan. He said President-elect Barack Obama has received a "heavy inheritance" from George W. Bush — two wars and "the collapse of the economy," which he said will render the United States unable to sustain a long fight against the mujahedeen, or holy warriors.
You want new fronts, too? Not tired of the ass-kickings you've endured so far, eh Osama? New fronts? What about the old fronts? Your minions discouraged by the one-way tickets to Jihadworld you want to keep issuing? You really think that a small drop in our GDP is going to slow down our war against you. Dream on, freak. We'll be killing your death cult followers for longer than you will live to see them die, rest assured. Just how long did you think you'd be "temporarily" hiding in a cave before the Moslem masses rose up and crowned you king of the caliphate? Not this long? Too bad for that miscalculation. Jews are smashing up Iranian-backed Hamas and the biggest angry "street" response has been by Hamas fans in the West.
Death to Americans. Death to the Jews. Death to the Hindus. Death to the Norwegians. Death to the Thais. Death to Christian Africans. Death to the Chinese. Death to Canadians. Death to Iraqis. Death to the Dutch. Death to Afghans. Death to Pakistanis. And death to even friendly Moslems when it is helpful, of course.
My, what a full list of people for the jihadis to hate. My apologies for the many people I left out. My editor would throw a fit with a Biblical "begats" list that long.
It's almost as if jihadi hatred against us isn't even our fault!
