Come on you guys. Try reading a little (a lot) more carefully.

Scott sez:

I just heard the Bin Laden tape translation on CNN...

and then he politely reports what OBL says...

He understands what the NeoCons (like Cheney and Perle) are up to...He is calling a U.S. led war in Iraq a Zionist conspiracy...He mentions the U.S. propoganda machine and how those sent to fight for our country may really be fighting for those in the White House (with their agendas) and for businessmen in the defense industry...This is an authentic tape of Bin Laden according to the experts...Bin Laden distances himself from Saddam (who is secular) but calls on muslims to defend Iraq from a U.S. invasion -- he feels the U.S. and Israel will install their own regime to take advantage of Iraq's resources...He is calling on a muslim holy war to fight the American infidels..

Then there is a bit of a hidden transition into Scott's own opinion, or so it seems to me:

IT IS CLEAR THAT TERRORISM WILL INCREASE IF WE ATTACK IRAQ...Is this war really worth it...? Who wouldn't take Bin Laden seriously -- he and his colleagues are MUCH MORE OF A THREAT than Saddam will ever be...Folks in Washington are so confused...Why have we failed to find Bin Laden and go after his network...? Our HomeLand is NOT secure and Bush wants to get involved in a reckless pre-emptive war.

He's hardly alone in this opinion. So what's the big problem you all are in such a snit about?
