With bin Laden is actually directly lecturing the Dems on his recommended strategy for Iraq, do ya think the Democrats in Congress might recognize their support of the enemy? New youthful vibrant beard and all...lol.

Glenn, Osama bin Laden has been spending a lot of time surfing Daily Kos and Z Magazine, all kidding aside. You have to read this transcript! Just listen to this, and you will find some surprisingly familiar arguments: People of America: the world is following your news in regards to your invasion of Iraq, for people have recently come to know that, after several years of the tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped. Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven't made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there, which has led to the vast majority of you being afflicted with disappointment. And here is the gist of the matter, so one should pause, think and reflect: why have the Democrats failed to stop this war, despite them being the majority? ... In the Vietnam War, the leaders of the White House claimed at the time that it was a necessary and crucial war, and during it, Rumsfeld and his aides murdered two million villagers. And when Kennedy took over the presidency and deviated from the general line of policy drawn up for the White House and wanted to stop this unjust war, that angered the owners of the major corporations who were benefiting from its continuation. And so Kennedy was killed, and al-Qaida wasn't present at that time, but rather, those corporations were the primary beneficiary from his killing... So in answer to the question about the causes of the Democrats' failure to stop the war, I say: they are the same reasons which led to the failure of former president Kennedy to stop the Vietnam war. Those with real power and influence are those with the most capital. And since the democratic system permits major corporations to back candidates, be they presidential or congressional, there shouldn't be any cause for astonishment - and there isn't any - in the Democrat's failure to stop the war. And you're the ones who have the saying which goes, "Money talks." ... If you were to ponder it well, you would find that in the end, it is a system harsher and fiercer than your systems in the Middle Ages. The capitalist system seeks to turn the entire world into a fiefdom of the major corporations under the label of "globalization" in order to protect democracy. msnbcmedia.msn.com The coordination of the Hard Left and the Islamo-Fascists is complete; coordination from both sides now. OBL is in no doubt whatsoever as to whom he should pitch his argument to; which audience in America is most receptive to him. No doubt at all. OBL plugs Michael Scheuer's book too.
