Right on Cue!
President Bush attacks the Democratic Party on their foreign policy platform(s) one day and the next Osama bin Laden issues a tape:
What are the odds of that? Can we expect another one, say, right before the presidential elections?
And one more thing: wasn't this the guy Bush said he wanted "dead or alive?" Can anyone tell me why we haven't captured him yet?
DUBAI (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden vowed in an audio tape to mark Israel's 60th anniversary to continue to fight the Jewish state and its allies in the West.
The al Qaeda leader, who has placed growing emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, said it was at the heart of the Muslim battle with the West and an inspiration to the 19 bombers who carried out the attacks on U.S. cities on September 11, 2001.
"We will continue, God permitting, the fight against the Israelis and their allies ... and will not give up a single inch of Palestine as long as there is one true Muslim on earth," he said in the message, posted on an Islamist website on Friday.
Bin Laden said Israel's anniversary celebrations were a reminder that it did not exist 60 years ago, and had been established on land seized from Palestinians by force.
What are the odds of that? Can we expect another one, say, right before the presidential elections?
And one more thing: wasn't this the guy Bush said he wanted "dead or alive?" Can anyone tell me why we haven't captured him yet?
