Osama bin Laden promised never to be captured alive and declared the U.S. had resorted to the same "repressive" tactics used by Saddam Hussein, according to an audiotape purportedly by the al-Qaida leader that was posted Monday on a militant Web site.
Oh no he didn't! Did he just compare us to Saddam? Okay now you are definitely going to die!
"I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don't want to die humiliated or deceived," bin Laden said.
Is that poetry? Does that rhyme in Arabic?
"The jihad is continuing with strength, for Allah be all the credit, despite all the barbarity, the repressive steps taken by the American Army and its agents, to the extent that there is no longer any mentionable difference between this criminality and the criminality of Saddam."
You know I hate to agree with this guy. You know he is a terrorist and all. But he again makes a valid point. We have indeed presented ourselves to the Muslim community as being just as bad as Saddam Hussein. I know that saying that will make a number of people truly pissed off at me but it is true nonetheless. And I might add that there may be nothing we can do to repair the damage that our actions have caused to our reputation in the middle east.
I would also like to point out another observation. By being so careless and culturally insensitive we have given Bin Laden huge amounts of military mistakes to use in his propaganda. He does not have to work very hard at all to make his point that we are prejudice against Muslims and are dedicated to destroying their countries in favor of our Israeli friends. True or not it does not take a genius to make that argument stick with all of the unfairness that our country has shown in dealing with Iraq.
Okay now that I have been forced to agree with a man that I despise I would like to send a message to Osama. If you are so ready to die then why waste time? Have the guts to attack us yourself. I am sure that there are many young soldiers out there who would be more then happy to put an end to your life.
