Mr. Bin Laden I Presume?

I was starting to think that Osama had succumbed to some illness or that he'd been secretly captured. But, just in time for the election, the nefarious OBL reappears on video - this time, it seems, just to F' with the Dubya. Bush has been getting some pretty nifty endorsements from 'the enemies' recently. But Osama shows up on a dime to yank our fearless leader's chain. It would almost be funny if there wasn't so much at stake. Kerry won't be able to fix this. We will be in a blood feud for generations to come:

"'God knows that it had not occurred to our mind to attack the towers, but after our patience ran out and we saw the injustice and inflexibility of the American-Israeli alliance toward our people in Palestine and Lebanon, this came to my mind,' he said.

Bin Laden suggested Bush was slow to react to the Sept. 11 attacks, giving the hijackers more time than they expected. At the time of the attacks, the president was listening to schoolchildren in Florida reading a book.

'It never occurred to us that the commander-in-chief of the American armed forces would leave 50,000 of his citizens in the two towers to face these horrors alone,' he said, referring to the number of people who worked at the World Trade Center.

'It appeared to him (Bush) that a little girl's talk about her goat and its butting was more important than the planes and their butting of the skyscrapers. That gave us three times the required time to carry out the operations, thank God,' he said."

What the heck! I do have to laugh. Even OBL won't cut Bush a break over that damned goat story!
