Bin Laden doesn´t just know about "My Pet Goat" - he knows about Florida, Halliburton-Bechtel-KelloggBrownRoot, the trillions in new US deficits.

Excerpts:

"Bush {Senior} sanctioned the installing of sons as state governors, and didn't forget to import expertise in election fraud ... to Florida ..."

"... It{´s} easy for us to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two Mujahideen to ... raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without ... achieving for it anything ... other than some benefits for their private companies."

"... 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..."

"... It has appeared to some analysts and diplomats that the White House and us are playing as one team ... It is true that ... al-Qaida has gained, ... that the Bush administration has also gained, ... Anyone who looks at the size of the contracts acquired by the shady Bush administration-linked mega-corporations, like Halliburton and its kind, will be convinced. And it all shows that the real loser is ... you."

"... The wise man doesn't squander his security, wealth and children for the sake of the liar in the White House."

"Bush's hands are stained with the blood of all those killed from both sides, all for the sake of oil and keeping their private companies in business."

Osama´s analysis is all about "follow-the-money" and "cui bono" (who benefits?) - and does that always tell you what´s really up?

The Bush and Bin Laden dynasties are tightly intertwined, and both make their billions off of oil, arms, reconstruction, and war. Reading this, I get the feeling that Osama, the black sheep of the Bin Laden family, might be the person best qualified to "read" W - the black sheep of the Bush family.

PS - Bonus points to anyone who can tell us how to say "shady" in Arabic!
