bin Laden cites FLORIDA 'voter cheating'. Why was this scrubbed??????
I think one can guess why our State Department begged Qatar not to release the bin Laden tape at all. Why was the following excerpt not aired in the US? Mr. President? American media?


===

"Bush the Elder liked the idea that his sons would take over power from the father. He has also not forgotten the tactics of his own skills at voter cheating, like in Florida, so he could use them in an emergency."

1. I can't say I mind...
I don't think having Bin Laden use our talking points exactly lends them credibility.

3. The truth is not an exclusive possession of the United States, I'm
pretty sure that most everyone with an intellect and the ability to read knows this.

So what if he said it? Truths can come from some very strange places sometimes.

And he's not a spokesperson for DU.

2. I find it incredibly bizzare the Bin Laden would even mention such
a thing...

I doubt he even believes in Democracy. He wants an Islamic state run by religious leaders. Why the fuck would he even care, or comment on Florida?

5. It gives me the creeps
that Bin Laden knows so much about us. I know it's all right out there in the open, but I just don't like that fucking murderer talking about our internal business.

6. Yeah it's definitely violating.
Feels like when some thief has been in your house or car. Still, I think the public deserves to hear the whole thing, not just what Bush says we can hear.
