		<description>&lt;p&gt;Anthrax attacks. Ricin attack. Mysterious plane crashes of those who oppose the Bush Regime or those who can hurt the Bush Regime. I mean, really, the terrorists have lived in the White House for 8 years now! Spit.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Depending upon your view, Bush did a great job!  Like most of you, I’m unhappy with what he did but few really know what his focus was…  There are OTHER reasons why he did what he did and unfortunately they aren’t going to surface to later.  At that time we’ll all know the truth with why he did what he did and I would expect us all to be even angrier than now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t get me wrong… I’m as unhappy as the rest of you.  Please realize that there is something else much more insane than what we already know that is the reason why he did what he did.  &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The FBI said that there is no evidence that Osama was responsible for 911. Psyops..media spin..they work..all these years later and people are still blaming Osama. His interview on Sept.28/01; he has some interesting comments about Israel that most Americans would not have believed in 2001. Now, most here at FDL would.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle. It is the United States, which is perpetrating every maltreatment on women, children and common people of other faiths, particularly the followers of Islam. All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel. There is also a warning for those Muslim countries, which witnessed all these as a silent spectator. What had earlier been done to the innocent people of Iraq, Chechnya and Bosnia? Only one conclusion could be derived from the indifference of the United States and the West to these acts of terror and the patronage of the tyrants by these powers that America is an anti-Islamic power and it is patronizing the anti-Islamic forces. Its friendship with the Muslim countries is just a show, rather deceit. By enticing or intimidating these countries, the United States is forcing them to play a role of its choice. Put a glance all around and you will see that the slaves of the United States are either rulers or enemies of Muslims. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The countries which do not agree to become the U.S. slaves are China, Iran, Libya, Cuba, Syria [Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Sudan, Indonesia, Malaysia] and Russia. Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American people have been killed. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then there are intelligence agencies in the U.S., which require billions of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every year. This [funding issue] was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet Union but after that the budget of these agencies has been in danger. They needed an enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Usama and Taleban and then this incident happened. You see, the Bush Administration approved a budget of 40 billion dollars. Where will this huge amount go? It will be provided to the same agencies, which need huge funds and want to exert their importance. Now they will spend the money for their expansion and for increasing their importance. I will give you an example. Drug smugglers from all over the world are in contact with the U.S. secret agencies. These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics cultivation and trafficking because their importance will be diminished. The people in the U.S. Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade so that they could show performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General Noriega was made a drug baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a scapegoat. In the same way, whether it is President Bush or any other U.S. President, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United Sates? That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;USAMA BIN LADEN: I have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We are against the [U.S. Government] system, which makes other nations slaves of the United States, or forces them to mortgage their political and economic freedom. This system is totally in the control of the American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is clear that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid down by them. So the punishment should reach Israel. In fact, it is Israel, which is giving a blood bath to innocent Muslims and the U.S. is not uttering a single word.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which makes us surprise but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda. They become afraid of it and begin to cause harm to themselves. Terror is the most dreaded weapon in modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people. It can add fear and helplessness in the psyche of the people of Europe and the United States. It means that what the enemies of the United States cannot do, its media is doing that. You can understand as to what will be the performance of the nation in a war, which suffers from fear and helplessness. &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The next image the world should see of this moron, is him and his cronies being perp-walked, in cuffs, to the vehicles of the Interpol marshals that were sent to his hiding place after he ADMITTED IN PUBLIC TO WAR CRIMES today on National teevee (if you can call fox national teevee).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His special plane, “Special Air Mission 28000″ can make it to the Hague - NON-STOP !&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“There hasn’t been another attack, etc. etc., etc.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t know if Bin Laden is alive or dead, but 9/11 had to have achieved results far beyond his wildest dreams.  There is no way a group of Eight Century fanatics could have destroyed the United States, unless we did it ourselves.  With 9/11 as a catalyst, we may have managed to do that.  Why would Bin Laden have wanted to expend any more resources until the reaction stopped?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
