Osama Bin sounding a lot like far left Democrats (Updated)
I'm a tad late to this story as the Mrs. and I make preparations for a week long stay in the Outer Banks but I do find it most telling that the transcript of the video shows Bin Laden sounding much like the leaders (and their sycophantic followers) of today's modern progressives, progressives whose ideology is championed by too many in the Democratic Party:
"...Bush talks about working with Al-Maliki and his government to spread freedom in Iraq but he in fact is working with the leaders one sect against another sect..."
"And among the most important items contained in Bush's speeches since the events of the 11th is that the Americans have no option but to continue the war. This tone is in fact echoing of the words of neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld and Richard Perle..."
"And among the things which catch the eye of the one who considers the repercussions of your unjust war against Iraq..."
"Why are the leaders of the White House keen to start wars and wage them around the world and make use of every possible opportunity through which they can reach this purpose occasionally even creating justifications based on deception and blatant lies..."
Bin Laden goes on to make wacky references to Vietnam, he mentions Naom Chomsky, he praises demonstrators who chant no blood for oil, mentions the evil that is America's corporations and even refers to their complicity in causing global warming.
It's as if he's reading straight from leftist talking points. In fact, were he to run as the Presidential candidate for the Democrats, it would not be a stretch to suggest that many within the party would back him so deep is their hatred for all things Bush (or Republican).
Much more on the Bin Laden video can be found at Pajamas Media.
UPDATED: Gateway Pundit brings us to John Gibson who's thinking like I am only more effectively:











New Osama video seems yet another forgery. Everyone needs Osama alive:
terrorists as symbolic leader and the US Administration - to avoid
scaling down the war on terror.
Obadiah Shoher rightly notes (
http://www.samsonblinded.org/news/osama-commemorates-911-1114 ) that
new Osama talks like a leftist university professor. I like Shoher's
analysis. No way a terrorist leader like Osama would use a speechwriter. Osama is famous
for his rhetoric.
Also, in the tape Osama both threatens America with attack (by
"proving" Americans polytheists) and offers (yet another time)
long-term coaching in Islam.
But his dyed beard makes me cautious. Islam's mujahedeen dye their
beards before battle.
