Bin Laden warns of retaliation against Europe

CAIRO (AP) - Osama bin Laden demanded that European countries pull their troops out of Afghanistan in a new audiotape Friday, warning of “retaliation” against them for their alliance with the United States in the war.
The al-Qaida leader denounced NATO airstrikes in Afghanistan that have killed civilians and warned that European countries would be held accountable alongside the Americans unless they pull out.
“A wise person would not waste his sons and money for a gang of criminals in Washington … In summary, we are not asking too much or an invalid demand, but it would be be fair that you lift your oppression and withdraw your troops,” bin Laden said, addressing the Europeans.
The audiotape, just under five minutes long, was posted Friday on Islamic militant Web sites. It comes after a series of al-Qaida videos this week directly addressing Germany, threatening attacks over that country’s involvement in Afghanistan. Those videos featured a little-known German-Algerian militant and have raised concerns among German authorities ahead of parliamentary elections.

Bin Laden warns of retaliation against Europe
Osama bin Laden. Some believe he is dead.
For a dead guy, he sure makes a lot of tapes that reference current world news, and gets them out to Islamic militant Web sites.
I have seen quite a few blogs over the last few years that have gone out on a limb and made statements that bordered on a guarantee that Obama’s bones were rotting in a cave in Tora Bora.
Maybe so, maybe not. The fact remains, dead or alive, Osama bin Laden is still the most well known Muslin boogie man in this fight. I know a great number of people blame George Bush, the CIA and the U.S. military for not actually getting bin Laden, and bringing him to justice, but the bin Laden rise to prominence was NOT the fault of George Bush.
Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, hoping to have terrorism sanctions lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of bin Laden and “detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt’s Islamic Jihad, Iran’s Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas,” Ijaz writes in today’s edition of the liberal Los Angeles Times. Aide: Clinton Unleashed bin Laden
The above story is from 2001, and squarely places the initial failures to capture bin Laden on the shoulders of Bill Clinton. And I will take this one step further, and anyone that served in the military, or worked in the Intel services during the Clinton administration can verify my next statement.
Bill Clinton, and his dismantling of our military and Intel services, was the direct catalyst in the attacks of 9-11. And yes my few libber troll readers, I DO know that George Bush was the POTUS at the time of the attacks. Bush has taken the blame for all of the ills of this nation for far too long. The actions of Bill Clinton were the direct cause OF those attacks.
And I ask again, WHEN does this become Obama’s fault? When does he stand and say that he is in control? When does HE accept responsibility for the current situation the USA is in? Would he even consider that as a possibility? Actually saying that he now bears the responsibility for this nation, our people and the course we take?
The government booted the term ‘enemy combatants’ from the Washington vernacular, Obama and Company have changed the definition of terrorist attacks, now calling them ‘man-caused disasters’.
Barack Hussein Obama is the best friend that a terrorist like Osama bin Laden could ever have.
Osama bin Laden may or may not be alive, this may well be nothing more than a really good voice double, and being used to incite as much fear as he possibly can. It really doesn’t matter. Alive or dead, bin Laden has an ally in our current POTUS. Obama wants to use PCness to describe terrorists and their attacks. Obama wants to *sugar coat* the entire thing as he makes apologies to the entire world for OUR transgressions.
The libber left will not agree with this, and again, I don’t care, I don’t write to please the loons on the left. WE ARE AT WAR! There, I said it!
Terrorists are murderers! Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters are not ‘ insurgent persons’, what they are is ENEMY COMBATANTS, and their actions are NOT ‘man-caused disasters’. They are vile acts of terrorism and MURDER!
Terrorists are being rounded up in several locations in this United States right now. One was taken into custody right here in Dallas County, and that is too close to home for me. But here is what I fear the most, the arrests are only scratching the surface of these terror embeds.
The 19 year old Jordanian wasn’t here legally, in ANY way. And that my friends, is the fault of every American president for the last 30 years minimum. And in this particular case, I DO blame just George W. Bush. But this is an indisputable fact; on the morning of 9-11-01 our world changed, our mindset changed and we can never go back to the level of comfort we once enjoyed because of those acts of terror.
On the morning of 9-12-01, our borders should have been locked down tight. Our borders, our sea ports, our coastline, our airports, ALL of it. That was exactly the time that this nation should have locked down and cleaned herself out. Instead, we have had literally MILLIONS of people cross our border and enter this nation ILLEGALLY.
How many of them are just looking for work and how many of them are Islamic terrorists?
Our wide open borders are a problem dating back for years, but it was under the administration of George W. Bush that we were attacked, and it was under his administration that our borders were not closed following the attacks. And it was under HIS administration that the ILLEGAL invasion continued unimpeded.
And to even remotely believe that Obama would do ANYTHING to rectify this error is simply a dream. Closing our borders might offend someone, and then he would have to go on another World Apology Tour!
Maybe he can have lunch with bin Laden if he does…
I think the recent arrests of terrorists and the current climate of “possible terrorist attack” are a direct result of Obama’s policy of punishing those that have kept us safe for 8+years. I am betting the CIA/FBI and DHS are tying up loose ends that started under the Bush admin. Look at the Dallas arrest, that was 2 years in the making. Another one, the Azizi idiot started back in 08.
I’m thinking the intelligence community knows it has no friend in the WH, so it is wrapping everything up NOW, it’s not going to try for the big fish, it’s not going to do what it’s supposed to do which is use assets to gain more intel on future ops. It’s going to stop where they are, arrest who they can, and then follow Obama’s policy of head in the sand security.
I will say it again, WTF are these Islamic morons thinking? they don’t need to attack us, they don’t need to waste any energy at all to “Destroy America” all they need to do is wait, Obama is well on his way to doing it for them.
Robert, you make some great points. I too, believe these recent arrests have been in the pipe line for sometime, but you can bet Obama and those around him will take credit and should an event occur in the near future they will point to these recent arrest to show their efforts in fighting terrorism. I’m like you, the terrorists have little to gain at this point in time in attacking us—-Obama and those around him are doing more damage than any terrorist could possibility do.
And Fred, I agree its time Americans stopped pointing the finger at Clinton and Bush and place the blame squarely where it belongs—-Osama and those who follow the teaching of radical Islam are the guilty parties. And by all means close the borders and increase the number of border guards not decrease them as the Obama administration recently did.
Well, I know I’ll be called a reactionary, a racist, God knows what else, but if it’s Jihad these ragheaded SOBs want, then maybe we need to give it to them…
Right here, in the USA… I know that sounds harsh, but I have never attacked ANY person because of their religious beliefs, these assholes of Islam can’t say that…
And the myth of the MODERATE Muslim?? That is a Joke… Where is this Will-o’-the-wisp? Does it even exist? I think not, the idea of MODERATE and Muslim are words that just don’t go together…
Islam has been killing any that disagree with their radical, hard line BS, that called The Religion of Peace, they kill those of their own religion, different sects, simply because of a difference in ideology, that would be akin to Baptist waging war on Methodists… Ridiculous…
So, if they’re not too busy killing each other, they are busy killing US! Well, speaking as 1 American that is damned tired of the threat hanging over MY head, maybe it IS time that we, The People, took the battle to Islam!
SF, America had it’s opportunity today, there was a large gathering of Islam-o-nazi’s in DC today… a target rich environment IMO.
These recent arrests are going to go down as Obama’s successes, however; when we are attacked again (Because the followers of Islam are that stupid) it will be Bush’s fault….That’s how the libturd mind works, Clinton was totally innocent 9-11 was all GWB’s fault.
When things blow up in the middle east, it will be because of GWB’s policies NOT because Obama apologized to the world for GWB’s and every REPUBLICAN leader ever. IF per-chance Israel is wiped out by Iran’s nuke, then after Obama does his happy dance he will exclaim it was because of GWB’s policies.. I am starting to understand the libturd mind and I am scared for our nation.
Unfortunately Fred, if “We the people” have to fight Islamic douchebags, we will also be fighting against Fedzilla… Because our muzzy in chief appears to have chosen his side already.
We are at war! Thank you for saying it, Fred. I’m in total agreement with all you said!
Rob, I don’t know just how much of Fedzilla would come to into play, there’s a lot of guys at the FBI, CIA, DHS and the like that are as fed up with this bullshit as we are… I know for a fact that the majority of Police Officers, at least, those outside of California and Washington DC would stand against the Islamic asswipes…
I am also believing that at least 75% of our military would stand on the RIGHT side as well… Obama and his ass-sucking minions may ALL be rooting for the Muslim moonbats, but there are far more than enough REAL Patriots in this nation to get the job done, no matter WHAT that job may be and no matter WHO the enemy REALLY is…
Hope you are right Fred, I have no doubt our side would be “People heavy” I just don’t know how fedzilla would play out…Truthfully, I’d imagine a true race war prior to any revolution or Islamic/civilization war…The way things are headed, it will take about one good catalyst to push us over the edge…As we have always said “Invest in precious metals and a delivery system”…

Far too many people ignore the fact that Slick Willy made “regime change” in Iraq national policy (signed it into law). Our legislature was all for it, until it went to shit, then they were against it. Not enough handouts involved, I guess.
The United States was directly attacked quite a while before 9/11 took place. When our embassies in Tanzania and Kenya were bombed in 1998, we as a nation were directly attacked. When the USS Cole was bombed in 2000, we as a nation were directly attacked. United States Embassies and Warships are considered sovereign US Territory. To attack an embassy or warship is the same as attacking Dallas, Chicago, Washington DC, or any other city or town in the United States. We were directly attacked and nothing was done about it. We told al Queda that we can be attacked and nothing will be done in retaliation. We didn’t declare war on Japan because they attacked Hawaii which was only a territory. We declared war on Japan because they attacked US Warships.
Excellent point about the U.S. ships at Pearl, Bob. But then Roosevelt had a itchy trigger finger and was ready to fight Germany particularly after “Operation Barbarossa” was launched earlier in 1941 when the Germans invaded Russia. Granted the Germans declared war on us first following Pearl Harbor, I’m sure Roosevelt welcomed that declaration.
Robert, Fred,…..and all the rest of ya. I hope you don’t think you’re
leaving without me!!! My username means just what it says. How’s that go……..Let’s ROLL
Can still shoot, move and communicate. Am available if needed.
Think I would still be a great sniper—I love long range shooting with my rem .17cal—I know it small, but can still hit a squirrels eye at 75+ yds. At least I think I hit the eye—no head left. And a poaching chicken hawk at 300yds is nothing!
