Osama Bin Laden Praises Noam Chomsky, Tells Dems They’re Not Anti-War Enough, Talks Global Warming
This new tape from Osama bin Laden almost sounds like it could have been a video blog done over at the Daily Kos. Or a “special comment” from Keith Olbermann.
“People of America: the world is following your news in regards to your invasion of Iraq, for people have recently come to know that, after several years of tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped. Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven’t made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there.”
The rambling transcript also mentions French President Sakozy, which suggests the tape was made after Sarkozy’s election in May.
According to the transcript, bin Laden says there are two ways to end the war:
“The first is from our side, and it is to continue to escalate the killing and fighting against you.”
The second is to do away with the American democratic system of government. “It has now become clear to you and the entire world the impotence of the democratic system and how it plays with the interests of the peoples and their blood by sacrificing soldiers and populations to achieve the interests of the major corporations.”
Bin Laden goes on to call Noam Chomsky “among one of the most capable of those from your own side,” and mentions global warming and “the Kyoto accord.”
Osama (and I’m not joking here) goes on to bash ““neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Richard Perle.”
I’m not one to suggest that America’s liberals support someone like Osama bin Laden, and I’d be quick to ridicule anyone making such an assertion, but when the left finds itself not only sharing many goals with Osama bin Laden vis-a-vis Iraq but also sharing much of the same rhetoric shouldn’t it be time to re-evaluate?
You’d think, but then again it seems like far too many people in this country are more than happy to act as proverbial “useful idiots” for this country’s enemies in the world.
