Bin Laden's classroom critique [Glad Bush gave him the extra time] |
|
http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/ny-wogoat304024647oct30,0,3353952.story?coll=ny-worldnews-headlines"It appeared to him that a little girl talking about her goat and its butting was more important than the airplanes and their butting of the skyscrapers. That gave us three times the required period to carry out the operations, thank God."
"We had agreed with the general emir, Mohamed Atta, that he would carry out all the attacks within 20 minutes, before Bush and his administration would be able to react," said bin Laden, referring to the hijackers' leader. "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 those horrors alone."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what should be emphasized about the Bin Laden tape, between now and the election. Urge everyone you know to watch Farhenheit 9/11, so they can judge for themselves. The beginning of the movie has the imfamous clip of Bush reading "My Pet Goat", and his reaction when he was told the second plane had hit. Moore says: "It isn't possible to view this film and come out saying you are voting George W. Bush."
You can find many links to watch/download Farhenheit 9/11 for free online. Send this web site to everyone you know. Use the "Email this Page to a Friend" link; or copy and paste the url in your own email program, and email it to your address book. Even if you don't know anyone planning on voting for Bush, the people you send it to may, or the people they send it to may, and so on.

Or, people can borrow it for free from a nearby video store. A state-by-state list of participating video stores can be found here: http://www.michaelmoore.com/books-films/fahrenheit911/free/index.php

1. This is completely unfair to Bush |
|
Everyone knows he couldn't have done anything about it without Cheney's permission anyway

2. I find it utterly fascinating that OBL denounced the Patriot Act... |
|
It's a pretty sad state of affairs when an Islamic extremist mocks us for allowing our rights to be trampled so completely.

4. "Oh, criticizing the Patriot Act? Wow, you sound like Osama!" |
|
That's how I'm afraid this will be spun. Pointing out what we and OBL have in common is NOT a good tack right now!!!
He's free, and he's getting a lot of attention, and he should be neither of these. BUSH FAILED, period.
