ALIVE AND KICKING

And murmuring, as is Osama bin Laden's style, of future attacks already being planned against the United States, and offering a truce of sorts, though it's really no such thing because the U.S. has no intention of dropping support for Israel, even when that country practices thuggery against its Muslim neighbors.

It's propaganda, not much different from a Dick Cheney speech in that regard, except bin Laden invokes God a lot more and doesn't snarl as much.

The text of bin Laden's message is something you should read. Here's an especially intriguing comment:
We are people who do not stand for injustice and we will seek revenge all our lives. The nights and days will not pass without us taking vengeance like on Sept. 11, God permitting. Your minds will be troubled and your lives embittered. As for us, we have nothing to lose. A swimmer in the ocean does not fear the rain.
He also touts "Rogue State," a book by William Blum, who would probably rather have a nod from Oprah.

Yeah, Israels poor muslim neighbors. They don't do anything.

Stopping suicide bombers who blow up woemn and children is TOO hard for the poor, poor weak muslim neighbors.

Why would Israel need to be a thug with neighbors like that?

Anon: Yeah, it's the old blameless Israel. Any atrocities it commits are blamed on everyone else. Tell it to the survivors of the Liberty.
