The Latest Bin Laden Transcript... Illustrated

 
The Iraq war is one of your greatest mistakes, in that you neither brought to account nor punished those who waged this war, not even the most violent of its murderers, Rumsfeld…

You permitted Bush to complete his first term, and stranger still, chose him for a second term, which gave him a clear mandate from you -- with your full knowledge and consent -- to continue to murder... in Iraq and Afghanistan...

President Bush's words echo neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Richard Perle...

People of America... you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven't made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there...

There are two ways to end the war... The first is from our side, and it is to continue to escalate the killing and fighting against you... ...The second is to do away with the American democratic system of government... It has now become clear to you and the entire world the impotence of the democratic system and how it plays with the interests of the peoples and their blood by sacrificing soldiers and populations to achieve the interests of the major corporations...

Noam Chomsky is among one of the most capable of those from your own side. Just a few days ago, the Japanese observed the 62nd anniversary of the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by your nuclear weapons.

Your denial of global warming and the Kyoto accord are evidence of your crimes.

To conclude... I invite you to embrace Islam. There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent.

Now that I think about it, Bin Laden's platform is a bit better than that of the Democrats. A 2.5 percent flat tax? Woo-hoo! Do I need to convert for that?
