1. Or not.

Got it now, thanks.

[AlCzervik]

2. it must be overloaded, it wont work for me

can you post some excerpts that we havent read before?

[htuttle]

5. Here's a juicy one that didn't make it into the US edited version

So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah.


That being said, those who say that al-Qaida has won against the administration in the White House or that the administration has lost in this war have not been precise, because when one scrutinizes the results, one cannot say that al-Qaida is the sole factor in achieving those spectacular gains.


Rather, the policy of the White House that demands the opening of war fronts to keep busy their various corporations – whether they be working in the field of arms or oil or reconstruction – has helped al-Qaida to achieve these enormous results.

And so it has appeared to some analysts and diplomats that the White House and us are playing as one team towards the economic goals of the United States, even if the intentions differ.

There's a couple of other portions like that, that were also removed from the version in circulation in the US.

16. That struck me, too, that it puts OBL's actions (and Bush) on econonic

footing. Taking out these sections makes OBL's speech toothless, but with it, one begins to think about the financial cost of the war, our deficit and Bush's pre-emptive attack strategies.

[hangloose]

21. Yes, this explains a lot and helps tie together many actions

of our government that if fully vented would add credance to what OBL has written to America. This goes back to the old saying keep your friends close but your enemy closer. It also points to Fascism.

3. Just read it.

Interesting what was left out. NO?
This guy ain't living in no cave.

[progressiveBadger]

4. Unless that cave is equipped with DirectTV and a DVD player.

13. My thoughts exactly. He's paying attention. But then he had to be

paying attention for a long time to pull off 9/11. He's still studying us. Gee, I feel so much safer now. NOT!!

:scared:

[roseBudd]

17. I think OBL is as well informed as most DUers

I don't think he needed F911 to find out about My Pet Goat. I know I didn't.

[truthpusher]

6. Yikes!

[onehandle]

7. Who cares. This isn't Terrorist Underground.

Maybe Freepers* want to read Bin Laden's crapola, but we sure don't.

*After all they own McVeigh, registered Republican, NRA member.

[Maddy McCall]

8. Actually, maybe we should read it.

Please don't pretend to speak for all of us.

[Maple]

9. You can't solve a problem

by ignoring it.

[Say_What]

10. What, and bury my head in the sand like a BushWIPE who believes FUX NOOZ?

How do you know what's really going on without reading all the accounts? Especially from OBL who admits to attacking our country? I'd be stupid not to read it.

[Union Thug]

11. Disagree.

We should be reading everything we can about the motivations of these people, very carefully.

[roseBudd]

18. Actually we should read the full transcript to see what was left out

and to ponder why.

[Say_What]

22. Good point.

I really don't think that much of the content made the US press. The time element, for instance, when AWOL was reading 'My Pet Goat' that OBL claims was the time they needed to pull off the attacks.

[liveoaktx]

19. Besides, it's telling how much airplay the Media gives to this

and whether they will discuss the entire contents of the tape which, when read, give a specific directional slant that is missing from the excerpts.

[Skittles]

12. I shudder every time I hear that creepy Paul Harvey

*SHUDDER*

[KC21304]

14. Now the question is did he mean " state" as in red or blue states or

did he mean state as in a nation state, the US. I hear on Fox they are saying he is threatening our individual states with terror if they vote for Bush.

[roseBudd]

20. I read that also because the Arab word for nation and state are

different.

[Mister K]

15. Has anyone here read The Religon War by Scott Adams?
