Al Jazeera Newsreader: A new message from
Bin Laden to the American people about the reasons and
results of the 9/11 attacks.
Al Jazeera Newsreader 2: The head of AL
Qaeda says the continuation of US policy will lead to the
repetition of what happened.
Al Jazeera presenter: The head of AL Qaeda
organization directed a message to the American people and
this video and audio appearance in this tape which Jezeera
required for the first time for two years. In the beginning
of his message, he spoke about the reasons why they chose
the US to execute 9/11..
Osama Bin Laden: You American people, my
speech to you is the best way to avoid another conflict
about the war and its reasons and results. I am telling you
security is an important pillar of human life. And free
people don't let go of their security contrary to Bush's
claims that we hate freedom. He should tell us why we didn't
hit Sweden for instance. Its known that those who hate
freedom don't have dignified souls.like the 19 who were
blessed. But we fought you because we are free people, we
don't sleep on our oppression. We want to regain the freedom
of our Muslim nation as you spill our security, we spill
your security.
Response: Bin Laden and the followers of Binladenism may
not sleep on oppression but they do capitalize on it whether
it is from foreign or internal sources. Only the
Binladenists are free, and that is restricted only to those
who adhere to the leadership council headed by Bin Laden.
Freedom is further restricted to them in that they must obey
his interpretation as Sharia (law) of Binladenist Islam or
be treated as infidel. Infidel Arabs, Pakistanis, Afghans,
Sudanese, Americans, Chinese, Africans etc, living in areas
patrolled by the Binladenists are routinely oppressed or
executed.
Al Jazeera: Bin Laden spoke for the first
time about the main reasons he thought of executing Sept 11
attacks, confirming that the Israeli operation in Lebanon
was the first incident where he thought of it.
Osama Bin Laden: I am so surprised by you.
Although we are in the fourth year after the events of
September 11, Bush is still practicing distortion and
misleading on you, and obscuring the main reasons and
therefore the reasons are still existing to repeat what
happened before. I will tell you the reasons behind theses
incidents.
I will be honest with you on the moment when the decision
was taken to understand. We never thought of hitting the
towers. But after we were so fed up, and we saw the
oppression of the American Israeli coalition on our people
in Palestine and Lebanon, it came to my mind and the
incidents that really touched me directly goes back to 1982
and the following incidents. When the US permitted the
Israelis to invade Lebanon with the assistance of the 6th
fleet. In these hard moments, it occurred to me so many
meanings I cant explain but it resulted in a general feeling
of rejecting oppression and gave me a hard determination to
punish the oppressors. While I was looking at the destroyed
towers in Lebanon, it came to my mind to punish the
oppressor the same way and destroy towers in the US to get a
taste of what they tasted, and quit killing our children and
women.
Response: When history is recorded,
truthfully, then it would be revealed who killed more
children and women, Binladenism or American policy. Let all
conspiracy theorists take note: Bin Laden ordered the
September 11th attacks.
Al Jazeera: Bin Laden considered in his
message that the results of Sept 11 were successful in his
opinion and as a reason of that, he said that the similarity
between the administration of Bush the father and the arab
regimes said Bush learned so much from them during his
visits.
Osama Bin Laden: We didn't find difficulty
dealing with Bush and his administration due to the
similarity of his regime and the regimes in our countries.
Which half of them are ruled by military and the other half
by sons of kings and presidents and our experience with them
is long. Both parties are arrogant and stubborn and the
greediness and taking money without right and that
similarity appeared during the visits of Bush to the region
while people from our side were impressed by the US and
hoped that these visits would influence our countries. Here
he is being influenced by these regimes, Royal and military.
And was feeling jealous they were staying for decades in
power stealing the nations finances without anybody
overseeing them. So he transferred the oppression of freedom
and tyranny to his son and they call it the Patriot Law to
fight terrorism. He was bright in putting his sons as
governors in states and he didn't forget to transfer his
experience from the rulers of our region to Florida to
falsify elections to benefit from it in critical times.
Response: Bin Laden, dressed in a golden robe, sees
himself as the head of the Islamic State. The military
rulers, monarchs, dictators and presidents, prime ministers
of all earthly nations have no right to interfere with his
rightful place in history, according to him.
This
statement is an obvious attempt at political spin of the
American elections.
Al Jazeera: Bin Laden considered the way
Bush dealt with the first moments of Sept. 11, giving a good
chance to the executors of Sept. 11 to complete it.
Osama Bin Laden: We agreed with Mohammed
Atta, god bless him, to execute the whole operation in 20
minutes. Before Bush and his administration would pay
attention and we never thought that the high commander of
the US armies would leave 50 thousand of his citizens in
both towers to face the horrors by themselves when they most
needed him because it seemed to distract his attention from
listening to the girl telling him about her goat butting was
more important than paying attention to airplanes butting
the towers which gave us three times the time to execute the
operation thank god.
Response: We must take time out here to thank Michael
Moore for his contribution to the war effort.
(see No Moore in DeKalb.)
Al Jazeera: the final part of the message
is that the security of the Americans depends on the policy
that they execute despite the winner of the elections.
Osama Bin Laden: Your security is not in
the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al Qaeda. Your security is in
your hands. Each state that doesn't mess with our security
has automatically secured their security.
Response: Since no state or nation openly admits to
supporting Bin Laden then it must be assumed then that no
state or nation is secure. Clearly if any state or nation
attempts to enforce its own laws and if those laws would
require arresting a Binladenist then the citizens of that
state or nation would be subject to retaliation.
Al Jazeera: In Bin Laden's message he
approached other points. He pointed to the contradiction
which considers oppression and killing of innocents a legal
act. They formed an international law as Bush [George H.
Bush) the father did with the children of Iraq according to
Bin laden. Bin Laden pointed to the millions of pounds of
explosives dropped on Iraqi children as bush his son had
done, as he said to remove an old agent and install a new
agent to help in stealing the oil of iraq. And Bin Laden
said the events of 9/11 came as an answer to this oppression
and said that if the answer to this oppression is considered
bad terror, then we need to do it. And he stressed that he
wants to deliver this message to the Americans in words and
in deeds since the 9/11 events. He reminded Americans of a
few warning messages through various news media like Time
Magazine and CNN and other Arab and correspondents since
1996. He warned them of the consequences of their countries
policies. He talked about the damage Sept 11 caused the US
economy and that it cost close to a trillion dollars. He
talked about President Bush and that the emergency law
requires more money.
Response: The people of America and all nations; the
secularists and all religionists (and yes that includes the
vast majority of Muslims). who have not submitted to the
rule of Bin Laden must join together to root out and destroy
the elements of Binladenism. May that spirit of cooperation
then extend to working out global policies that enable all
people the freedom to live a good life free from the threat
of attack and oppression.
