He obviously could give a rat's ass about what bin Laden's said about (and done to) the American people, but now that he's talkin' trash about the Saudi upper crust, do you think Junior will get a resurgence of that "bring it on" Connecticut Cowboy fighting spirit?

Alleged Bin Laden Tape Targets Saudi Rulers

DUBAI (Reuters) - An audio tape purportedly by Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) praises gunmen who attacked a U.S. consulate in Saudi Arabia on Dec. 6 and warns Saudi rulers they could be toppled like the Shah of Iran.

In the recording posted on the Internet on Thursday, the speaker blessed the Saudi al Qaeda militants who stormed the U.S. consulate in Jeddah, killing five non-American staff in the first attack on a Western mission in Saudi Arabia.

Four militants were killed and a fifth was arrested in the Jeddah attack, the biggest in the country in six months by militants bent on overthrowing the pro-U.S. monarchy and driving Westerners out of the birthplace of Islam.

The speaker lambasted the rulers of the world's largest oil exporter as "corrupt, oppressive" U.S. agents and warned them they would be toppled in a popular uprising if they did not allow their people to choose a true Muslim leadership.

1. Hey, all part of the PNAC plan.
Wouldn't surprise me if this was another CIA/BFEE production.
