You have to be able to inspect, analyze, and evaluate these messages thoroughly and not give them some knee-jerk reaction. Careful examination is more important than petty attempts to bolster preconcieved ideas.Gonz said:
When you take a more thoughtful approach one of the first things that will become apparent to you is the idea that the Bin Laden message you are quoting is from 3 years ago...not the current one.

It would have been done through the UN, remember Kerry would have handed American leadership over to the "world court" or the UN.
Yeah, that's what would have happened

You can't assume he's being honest and straight-forward and take this at face value. He spends years plotting and scheming so I'm sure this was very well thought out. Got to wonder what his intentions are and what did he stand to gain by releasing this.
Do you think he really expected this to get him a truce? Not likely and I doubt he even wanted one. If he really wanted a truce the entire message most likely wouldn't be filled mostly with insults, threats, and goading. Maybe it's meant to make him appear reasonable to possible allies. Maybe it's meant to make the US look bad as in "I offered them peace but they only want war".
You got to wonder what his agenda is when he talks about Iraq quite a bit with statements like these...
Do you think he expects all the Americans to say "You know honey that Bin Laden is right, we should get out of Iraq right away!"? I don't think so. I'm sure he is fully aware that it's likely to make us do the opposite of what he appears to want.
...add to that bin Laden's Lieutenant al-Zawahiri's video from last month in which he plain out eggs us on:
Seems it may be they want to make sure we stay in Iraq.
Timing...at a point where the majority of Americans have realized that the Iraq war was a nistake and Bush has taken a lot of criticism for the administrations attempts to encourage a connection between those responsible for 9/11 and Iraq why would bin-Laden suddenly associate himself with Iraq to the extent where somehow he will be involded in the rebuilding....huh?
How would bin-Laden gain or lose deoending on whether or not we continued occupying Iraq? So far the US keeping it's primary focus on Iraq likely greatly contributeds to Osama being able to avoid being caught. Maybe he wants to keep it that way.
There's sort of a symbiotic relationship between bin-laden and Bush. The “war on terror” is a cover for the use of military to achieve US global strategic objectives which will only create more recruits for the Islamic fundamentalist extremist movements. New acts of terror against American targets, meanwhile, will be utilized to justify further US aggression all over the globe. The seeming disinterest of the Bush administration in capturing bin Laden is in good measure explained by the useful political purpose that his terrorism serves.

Based on what has been said, this shows the errors of Bush's statement - the one that slipped from him - which is at the heart of polls calling for withdrawing the troops. It is better that we (Americans) don't fight

today I congratulate everyone for the victory in Iraq. You remember, my dear Muslim brethren, what I told you more than a year ago, that the U.S. troops will pull out of Iraq. It was only a matter of time.
