President Bush Says New Osama Bin Laden Video Is A Reminder Of "Dangerous World"

    Excerpts and analysis of messages believed to have been recorded by Osama bin Laden.

(AP)  President Bush said Saturday that Osama bin Laden's first video appearance in three years is a reminder of "the dangerous world in which we live."

"It's important that we show resolve and determination to protect ourselves, deny al Qaeda safe haven and support young democracies," Bush said. The video was released just days before the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

In a 30-minute speech addressed to Americans, bin Laden boasts about the impact of the 2001 attacks, mocks the democratic system of government in the United States and lambastes the Bush administration for initiating the war in Iraq.

Bush made the rare move of speaking about an al Qaeda video, answering a question during a photo opportunity with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The two leaders are in Australia for the annual summit of 21 Pacific Rim nations. The president called it interesting that bin Laden brought up the Iraq war.

"Iraq is part of this war against extremists," Bush said. "If al Qaeda bothers to mention Iraq, it's because they want to achieve their objectives in Iraq, which is to drive us out."

The tape, he said, is "a reminder about the dangerous world in which we live, and it is a reminder that we must pull together to protect our people against these extremists who murder the innocent in order to achieve their political objective."

WHY IS IT NOT ONE ISLAMIC COUNTRY GRANTS EQUAL RIGHTS TO NON MUSLIMS?

FASCIST NAZI TERRORISLAM SAYS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATES ISLAM LAW...

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html

For example, in 1981, the Iranian representative to the United Nations, Said Rajaie-Khorassani, articulated the position of his country regarding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by saying that the UDHR was "a secular understanding of the Judeo-Christian tradition", which could not be implemented by Muslims without trespassing the Islamic law.

http://www.un.org/terrorism/
http://www.un.org/terrorism/strategy-counter-terrorism.html
http://www.un.org/

But the accepted assumption in India is that most of India''s Muslims were converted to Islam through the sword. Meaning the Indians were given an option between death or adopting Islam. The third option was getting examined in Islam religion along with heavy taxes- Jeziya (poll tax) and Kharaj (property tax).

OBAMA, OOPS I MEAN OSAMA BIN FORGOTTEN GIVES HIS DEMONIC-RAT
CHORUS OF USEFUL IDIOTS A PEP TALK... LOL

Leftist Support of Islamist Terror

Most shocking is the outright sympathy of many leftist-liberals for Islamic fascism. They said little about the murder of 500 Russian civilians, many of them children, but screamed week after week because some Arab savage at Abu Ghraib prison wore a bag on his head. They cared nothing about the beheadings committed by the Islamo-savages or the execution of 12 Nepalese. David Horowitz gives an excellent discussion of who this "Left" really is. He calls them neo-communist, I call them Leftist-Liberals. I''m a classical Liberal myself and I feel it''s time to remove this irrational element that has been allowed to poison our good name.

LOVE those over the top, emotionally manipulative, guilt trip commercials being put up by the chicken-hawks and their minions through a doublespeak named group called "freedomwatch".
The gist apparently is that some casualty is paraded out and we''re told that there HAS to be MORE casualties to JUSTIFY the previous casualties.
That''s like saying if you lost your legs in a car accident the nation needs to get rid of safety standards to justify the loss.

The DEFINITION of INSANITY IS doing the same thing over and over getting the same but expecting a different result.

Sorry, one loss was too many in Iraq, and demanding MORE losses to justify a MAJOR strategic and tactical mistake doesn''t make that MISTAKE any better.

It is all too obvious to me and should be to any sane mind that the timing of this tape is at the 9/11 hoax that the Bush Administration pulled off and blamed on Arabs and during the time for Bush to address Congress on progress in Iraq. All lies. More lies from the republican war of intimidation on Americans. And I am not intimidated by Bush nor the republican party at all. America will see George Bush pay for murdering those people in New york and the truth come out about who''s really behind 9/11, the republicans. And of course America will pay for the Judicial, Legislative and Executive branches illegal Jim Crowe laws that damaged blacks considerably. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments gauranteed rights and freedoms that Plessy vs Ferguson denied blacks for a century of Damage.

it is fascist nazi terrorislam stupid%u2026.

non muslims of the world unite... fight against the tyranny of the fascist nazi terrorslam imperialist empire of the darkside...

I was a fanatic...I know their thinking, says former radical Islamist
By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair''s bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.
More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

Hmm... Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul WINS the FAUX NEWS debate poll (34 percent) and several Democratic Presidential candidates are for leaving the massive American wealth reallocation from the middle class to the ultra-wealthy called IRAQ.

So what "surprise is trotted out and paraded through the media?
What??
Are the NEOCONS afraid their NEXT FEAR-MONGER candidate Guliani might be losing voter share?? Never fear, Sir Hawk the teevee star Reagan rerun is now here to save the day for Neocons everywhere.
What?
Most of the profiteers have Deserted for foreign play-lands?
Oh well, keep those future slaves paying - don''t want so much as a nickle left for the American peasants or they might start getting ideas and catch on to their looming depression.

hahahaha are you calling al bore a liar... lol

the war is legal

the resumption of hostilities was only a matter of time since iraq broke the ceasefire agreement.....

blame saddam for iraq%u2026%u2026. Even clintoon and the dems wanted the resumption of hostilities back in 1998

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq''''s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

Moreover, no international law can prevent the United States from taking actions to protect its vital interests, when it is manifestly clear that there is a choice to be made between law and survival. I believe, however, that such a choice is not presented in the case of Iraq. Indeed, should we decide to proceed, that action can be justified within the framework of international law rather than outside it. In fact, though a new UN resolution may be helpful in building international consensus, the existing resolutions from 1991 are sufficient from a legal standpoint. - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

Oh well, maybe if Chicken-hawk Little quits with the "sky is falling" videotape of his family/business friend Bin Laden the rest of the world can move on with some of the much more pressing matters - like REAL threats from the war Profiteers, environmental rapists, food poisoners, dangerous product imports, infrastructure that''s collapsing WITHOUT help, poor mine safety, etc... Oh, I forgot, those are due to actions of his FRIENDS and we all know George PROTECTS his friends - even if it does cost the lives of our troops and innocent women and children.

The Osama video underscores only one thing, you failed on your promise to capture him, dead or alive.

Instead of killing him, you managed to kill 4000 of our brave men and women!

What an accomplishment!

But that gristly fact will probably be too much for your crapbrain to comprehend.

Nothing too mysterious here.

The timing, similar to that of EVERY election cycle, is intended to scare right before a major decision is made.

This one is intended, not by Bin Laden, but by the Admininstration to re-inforce the need for continued support of the surge.

Obviously a manufactured message with some real footage of Bin Laden, created by our own minstry of propaganda.

Not really fooling anyone (except of course those here who buy anything that Mr. Bush says = already fools).

Sept 8, 2007:

Bush says bin Laden''s video is a reminder of "the dangerous world in which we live."

March 13, 2002:

Q: "But don''t you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won''t truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?"

BUSH: "I truly am not that concerned about him."

The truth is: Bush desperately needs Osama. Without Osama, there is no "war on terrorism" and without the war on terrorism, there is no justification for constant fear. In the absense of fear, even lunatics like lars008 might start to calm down and begin to see the world rationally. That would be the death knell of fascism in the USA.
