<These are distorted lies, addressed by OBL to people who desire to believe him.>

OK, I'll grant that, but I still admire the skill with words, the careful crafting of the emotional subtext, the way he vilifies all for the sins of some. The robust, manly screech for tribal solidarity.

Of course, he's preaching to the choir, and appealing to the wavering middle, just like CNN. Bin Laden does this, much better than Bush. Bush can't even get the Canadians and New Zealanders to believe his nonsense (Iraq is a threat to our national security), while about 90% of Muslims believe Bin Laden's nonsense (the Crusaders are coming). That's why Bin Laden's poll ratings are better than Bush's. He's a better liar.
