Osama bin Laden With New Message
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28652698/
The chief enemy for the United States in relation to terrorism has sent out a tape today. Why now? The escalated trouble in Isreal is one thing. The inauguration of Barack Obama is definitely a subject as well.
Concerning Obama, bin Laden stated that he has received a ”heavy inheritance” in terms of two wars and the economic crisis, which he believes will make the nation unable to continue the war. It is a bold prediction, but it is somewhat true. Moreover, it may be meant to raise the anger of Americans further, hoping that national leaders will make a mistake.
Osama bin Laden also urged the continuation of violence for Muslims. In talking about current economic problems, he stated, “[T]he Islamic nation’s jihad is one of the main causes of these destructive results for our enemies.” Moreover, violence is needed to liberate Palestine, according to him anyway. This may all serve to add fuel to some to continue the fight, but I doubt his words will change that much. Nevertheless, he is still around.
Are we still even trying to catch that guy? Or were we ever in the first place…
