October 29, 200421 yr courtesy cbc.ca QATAR - Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden appeared in a new videotaped message aired on an Arabic television station Friday, finally claiming responsibility for the 2001 attacks against the United States, just four days before the American presidential election. "We decided to destroy towers in America" because "we are a free people... and we want to regain the freedom of our nation," bin Laden said, dressed in yellow and white robes and videotaped against a plain brown background. In the 18-minute message, played on Qatar-based Al-Jazeera, bin Laden threatened new attacks against Americans if the policies of George W. Bush's government do not change, and outlined "the best way to avoid another Manhattan." According to translators, bin Laden told American voters: "Your security is not in the hands of [Democratic candidate John] Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. Your security is in your hands." Bin Laden said he decided that militants should start planning to attack the United States in the wake of Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, when apartment towers in Beirut were bombed. The U.S. backed Israel in that action, he said. He said al-Qaeda's suicide airplane attacks against the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, would have been less severe if Bush had been more vigilant and acted more quickly on that day. Bin Laden also Bush had misled the American people in the three years since 19 hijackers sent seized airplanes flying into the high-profile targets. "Bush is still deceiving you and hiding the truth from you and therefore the reasons are still there to repeat what happened," he said. Very interesting stuff here. Althought I'm not sure what to make of it all. Thoughts?
October 29, 200421 yr I am reminded of that part in Eminem's video about bin Laden.... I doubt this is real.
October 29, 200421 yr Author OMG... He endorsed Kerry!11!!1! WTF?!?!?! L0L Lol he clearly didn't p.s. what is your avatar all about?
October 29, 200421 yr Every day I live in fear about something bad happening anyway, so whats the difference for me? Thats why I make sure to say good bye to everyone I care about before they go somewhere... Bin Laden...if u could only die...
October 29, 200421 yr Lol he clearly didn't p.s. what is your avatar all about? I know I thought it was obvious... I ran out of green.. It's a gator with a knife stuck in his skull... I think he's an inspiration, like that kitty hangin' from the clothesline, "Hang in there".... I think my knife-head gator should say something like, "keep on swimin'" or "You think you've got a headache?"
October 29, 200421 yr Author I know I thought it was obvious... I ran out of green.. It's a gator with a knife stuck in his skull...

I think my knife-head gator should say something like, "keep on swimin'" or "You think you've got a headache?" I didn't realize that was a real photo. Man I can't explain it... I just feel so inspired right now.
October 29, 200421 yr It's a gator with a knife stuck in his skull... I think he's an inspiration, like that kitty hangin' from the clothesline, "Hang in there".... I thought it was some sort of a flying object. Bin Laden...if u could only die... Bin Laden is a f***ing pussy. Excuse my language. If we ever do find him he better be killed slowly and in very gory fashion.

Hate to break it to you Cheat, but they had to put the poor gator in that picture down - he was too badly injured to be saved. White trash assholes...
October 29, 200421 yr Hate to break it to you Cheat, but they had to put the poor gator in that picture down - he was too badly injured to be saved. White trash assholes... You seriosly ruined my day... A few days ago when I read the report it said they thought he was gonna be fine. This guy should be the #1 Suspect /I'm burnin through bandwidth today
October 29, 200421 yr 2 days before BREAKING NEWS happens. And it won't be about President Elect Kerry.or Former President Bush either.
October 29, 200421 yr Author 2 days before BREAKING NEWS happens. And it won't be about President Elect Kerry.or Former President Bush either. Whatchu talkin bout Willis?
October 29, 200421 yr I think he's saying that, even if Bush loses, Kerry will have no better luck keeping Americans safe.
October 29, 200421 yr Author 3. At first glance it did look like a flying object but I realized it wasn't when I read Gator attacked.

October 30, 200421 yr hey, why not. 5 Damn optical allusion. Before reading this thread I thought the picture was an eagle. The knife's reflection off the water looks like the spread wings of a bird. A white impression made with the jaw's submersion in water appears similiar to the wake left by a passing speedboat. Anyone else see this s***?
October 30, 200421 yr courtesy cbc.ca Very interesting stuff here. Althought I'm not sure what to make of it all. Thoughts? Osama Bin Laden endorses John Kerry. How appropriate.
October 30, 200421 yr Osama Bin Laden endorses John Kerry. How appropriate. Yeah and the Mullahs in Iran endorse Bush.
October 30, 200421 yr Author Osama Bin Laden endorses John Kerry. How appropriate. Maybe you heard something that I didn't but in no way did Osama endorse Kerry. And even if he did who gives a shyte.
October 30, 200421 yr Osama Bin Laden endorses John Kerry. How appropriate. "Your security is not in the hands of [Democratic candidate John] Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. Your security is in your hands." That was Osama Bin Laden. How is that an endorsement of Kerry? Oh yeah, and how is Bush feeling about Iran and Libya endorsing him?
