New Bin Laden Tape Surfaces

An anonymous submitter writes "Osama bin Laden delivered a new videotaped message in which he told Americans their security does not depend on the president they elect, but on U.S. policy. 'Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al Qaeda.'"

The terrorists will not scare the United States as it did Spain

This is a common misperception. The attack itself had far less impact on the Spanish election than the incumbent party - without evidence - attempting to pin it on the Basque seperatist ETA... to whom the opposition party was seen as somewhat sympathetic.

The Spanish people were angered at being lied to for political purposes, and it backfired on the liars.

"And I tell you, God only knows, that we never had the intentions to destroy the towers."

He meant before America sided with Israel against Lebanon and Palestine. He says so, and then continues, "And as I was looking at those towers that were destroyed in Lebanon, it occurred to me that we have to punish the transgressor with the same -- and that we had to destroy the towers in America so that they taste what we tasted, and they stop killing our women and children."

What he's trying to say is "Yeah I took out the WTC, but you started it."
