Alleged Bin Laden Tape Blasts Obama

Al Qaeda Chief Says U.S. President Has Planted Seeds Of "Hatred And Vengeance"; Warns Americans Of Consequences

June 3, 2009


(CBS) A new audio tape believed to be from Osama bin Laden criticizes President Barack Obama for planting seeds of "hatred and vengeance toward Americans" and warns of consequences.

The tape, aired on Arabic news network Al Jazeera Wednesday, blasts the U.S. president for his role in Pakistan's military operation against Taliban forces in the Swat Valley. The message comes as Mr. Obama prepares to visit the Middle East to shore up diplomatic relations in the region.

Bin Laden accuses Obama of ordering Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari to "prevent the people of Swat from implementing the Shari’a law by fighting and killing them through bombings and destruction. This has led one million Muslims, elderly people, women and children, to flee their homes and villages and live in tents after they’d been living with dignity in their homes.

“This simply means that Obama and his administration have planted new seeds of hatred and vengeance towards America," the translated message continues. "The number of these seeds equates that of those who have suffered and been made homeless in the Swat valley and the tribal areas in northern and southern Waziristan as well as those who sympathize with them.

“In this manner, Obama appears to have followed the same path taken by his predecessor, in creating more enmity towards Muslims, and adding on to the fighting enemies, thus paving the way for new long wars.

“Let the American people prepare to continue harvesting what their White House leaders grow, in the years and decades to come.

6. Recorded in Dick Cheney's basement no doubt
It is beyond shameful that the US media continues to peddle these fake tapes WITHOUT question. They report these tapes as though they are authentic.

8. So Cheney called in his friends
I hope he hasn't got something else planned so he can try to prove his he is right about America being vulnerable under Obama.

9. Sounds to me like someone's unable to change their tune
Edited on Wed Jun-03-09 08:46 AM by depakid
In Bush & Cheney, Islamic extremists found all too willing chumps, who validated pretty much everything they said- and ended up bankrupting America and stirring up emnity elsewhere.

With Obama, they're unable to play those games effectively, and my bet would be that after all this time, they've become so used to the pattern that they won't be able to adapt.

Hell, that's all they've known in their lives!

Think about it-
