Early in the 2004 presidential campaign, Kerry boasted of having foreign backers. When a prospective voter asked who they are, Kerry arrogantly replied that their identity is "my business, not yours." Subsequently, Kerry received overt endorsements from communist North Korea (Kim Jong Il), communist Cuba (Castro), Al Jazeera (Al Qaeda's news agency), Palestinian terrorist Yassir Arafat, avowed anti-Semitic former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed, and most importantly theocratic Iran.
Now it appears that the final foreign backer is in place and is none other than Osama bin Ladin, himself!
Compare the two Al Qaida tapes below: (1) the bin Ladin tape (10-29-04) and the Adam Gadhan tape (10-28-04). Obviously the two messages are inter-related and seem to threaten: "Defeat Bush or suffer the consequences!" This approach actually worked in Spain, defeating America's ally Asnar. Kerry (working in tandem with Al Qaeda) recently tried to defeat another coalition partner, John Howard of Australia, but failed.
Which way will America go in the November 2 election? Will it be the path of appeasement (a "more sensitive," "global test" type approach) or the path of liberation (taking the fight to the enemy and planting free market democracy in the Middle East)?
In WWII Britain had to make a similar choice: between Neville Chamberlain's "peace in our time" and Winston Churchill's determination to fight the enemy to victory. Today the choice is between Kerry's reactive "global test" approach and President Bush's proactive approach in assembling a "coalition of the willing" to root out terrorism in its home base.
Bin Ladin Attacks President Bush Using Kerry's Propaganda
John Kerry, Michael Moore, and Democrat Party themes used: (1) implication that withdrawal of troops from Muslim countries would bring peace or temporary truce; (2) claim that Bush is misleading American people; (3) claim that continuation of Bush policy would lead to new terrorist attack; (4) blames US alliance with Israel for decision to attack WTC; (6) claim that Florida 2000 election was falsified; (7) claim that Bush stayed too long in school while planes hit WTC; (8) claim that Bush motive in Iraq is to steal Iraqi oil.
Message broadcast over Al Qaeda's Al Jazeera network (which endorsed Kerry).
Accusing President Bush of "misleading" the American people, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden made the first direct admission of responsibility for the 9-11 attacks in a video aired today by the Arab television channel Al-Jazeera.
Osama bin Laden in video aired by Al-Jazeera
The video, shot in front of a brown background, was the first footage of bin Laden since a tape broadcast by Al-Jazeera in September 2003 showed him descending a mountainside and calling for jihad.
In the new video, bin Laden says, "We decided to destroy towers in America" because "we are a free people ... and we want to regain the freedom of our nation."

Bin Laden asserted President Bush has been "misleading" the American people since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.
The terrorist leader said the attacks would have been less severe if Bush had been more alert.
"We had agreed with Mohammed Atta, may Allah bless his soul, to carry out all of the operations within 20 minutes ... and we didn't think at all that the commander in chief of the United States would leave all of these citizens fighting for their lives," bin Laden said, according to a translation.
Mentioning the Democratic presidential candidate, bin Laden said to the American people, "You're security is not in the hands of Bush, Kerry or al-Qaida. It is in your hands."
An audiotape broadcast in April purportedly from bin Laden offered European nations a three-month truce if they would withdraw troops from Muslim nations.
Last week, former Navy Secretary and 9-11 commissioner John Lehman said the U.S. knows where bin Laden is hiding but can't reach him </news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41059> because he is in a region of Pakistan controlled by Islamic extremists opposed to President Pervez Musharraf.
Lehman said the terrorist leader is in South Waziristan in the Baluchistan Mountains of Pakistan's Baluchistan region.
"There is an American presence in the area, but we can't just send in troops," Lehman told the San Bernardino Sun. "If we did, we could have another Vietnam, and the United States cannot afford that right now."
Secretary of State Colin Powell also has stated recently he believes bin Laden is in that area.

A transcript of today's Al-Jazeera presentation was provided by the Drudge Report <http://www.drudgereport.com>.
Newsreader: A new message from Bin Laden to the American people about the reasons and resulats of the 9/11 attacks.
Newsreader 2: The head of AL Qaeda says the continuation of US policy will lead to the repetition of what happened.
Male presenter: The head of AL Qaeda organization directed a message to the American people and this video and audio apearence in this tape which Jezeera required for the first time for two years. In the beginning of his message, he spoke about the reasons why they chose the US to execute 9/11..
OBL: You American people, my speech to you is the best way to avoid another conflict about the war and its reasons and results. I am telling you security is an important pillar of human life. And free people don't let go of their security contrary to Bush's claims that we hate freedom. He should tell us why we didn't hit Sweden for instance. Its known that those who hate freedom don't have dignified souls.like the 19 who were blessed. But we fought you because we are free people, we don't sleep on our oppression. We want to regain the freedom of our Muslim nation as you spill our security, we spill your security.
Female presenter: Bin Laden spoke for the first time about the main reasons he thought of executing Sept 11 attacks, confirming that the Israeli operation in Lebanon was the first incident where he thought of it.
OBL: I am so surprised by you. Although we are in the fourth year after the events of sept 11, Bush is still practicing distortion and misleading on you, and obscuring the main reasons and therefore the reasons are still existing to repeat what happened before. I will tell you the reasons behind theses incidents.
I will be honest with you on the moment when the decision was taken to understand. We never thought of hitting the towers. But after we were so fed up, and we saw the oppression of the American Israeli coalition on our people in Palestine and Lebanon, it came to my mind and the incidents that really touched me directly goes back to 1982 and the following incidents.
When the US permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon with the assistance of the 6th fleet. In these hard moments, it occurred to me so many meanings I cant explain but it resulted in a general feeling of rejecting oppression and gave me a hard determination to punish the oppressors. While I was looking at the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it came to my mind to punish the oppressor the same way and destroy towers in the US to get a taste of what they tasted, and quit killing our children and women.
Male presenter: Bin Laden considered in his message that the results of Sept 11 were successful in his opinion and as a reason of that, he said that the similarity between the administration of Bush the father and the arab regimes said Bush learned so much from them during his visits.
OBL: We didn't find difficulty dealing with Bush and his administration due to the similarity of his regime and the regims in our countries. Whish half of them are ruled by military and the other half by sons of kings and presidents and our experience with them is long. Both parties are arrogant and stubborn and the greediness and taking money without right and that similarity appeared during the visits of Bush to the region while people from our side were impressed by the US and hoped that these visits would influence our countries. Here he is being influenced by these regimes, Royal and military.
And was feeling jealous they were staying for decades in power stealing the nations finances without anybody overseeing them. So he transferred the oppression of freedom and tyranny to his son and they call it the Patriot Law to fight terrorism. He was bright in putting his sons as governors in states and he didn't forget to transfer his experience from the rulers of our region to Florida to falsify elections to benefit from it in critical times.
Female Presenter: Bin Laden considered the way Bush dealt with the first moments of Sept. 11, giving a good chance to the executors of Sept. 11 to complete it.
OBL: We agreed with Mohamed Atta, god bless him, to execute the whole operation in 20 minutes. Before Bush and his administration would pay attention and we never thought that the high commander of the US armies would leave 50 thousand of his citizens in both towers to face the horrors by themselves when they most needed him because it seemed to distract his attention from listening to the girl telling him about her goat butting was more important than paying attention to airplanes butting the towers which gave us three times the time to execute the operation thank god.
Male presenter: the final part of the message is that the security of the Americans depends on the policy that they execute despite the winner of the elections.
OBL: Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al Qaeda. Your security is in your hands. Each state that doenst mess with our security has automatically secured their security.
Female Presenter: In Bin Laden's message he approached other points. He pointed to the contradiction which considers oppression and killing of innocents a legal act. They formed an international law as bush the father did with the children of iraq according to bin laden. Bin Laden pointed to the millions of pounds of explosives dropped on Iraqi children as bush his son had done, as he said to remove an old agent and install a new agent to help in stealing the oil of iraq. And bin laden said the events of 9/11 came as an answer to this oppression and said that if the answer to this oppression is considered bad terror, then we need to do it. And he stressed that he wants to deliver this message to the Americans in words and in deeds since the 9/11 events. He reminded Americans of a few warning messages through various news media like Time Magazine and CNN and other Arab and correspondents since 1996. He warned them of the conswquences of their countries policies. He talked abou t the damage Sept 11 caused the US economy and that it cost close to a trillion dollars. He talked about President Bush and that the emergency law requires more money.
The English-speaking terrorists on a new al-Qaida videotape warning of a huge attack appears to be threatening the U.S. with consequences if President Bush is re-elected.
"People of America, that was the verdict, now for the sentencing: As participants and partners in the crimes of the regime, you too shall pay the price for the blood that has been spilled," the man says on the tape.
ABC News, which obtained the tape in Pakistan Friday, withheld the final 15 minutes of it from the CIA when it was submitted for analysis, the Drudge Report is reporting.
The newssite says a federal official claims the portion withheld mentioned President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
"You are guilty, guilty, guilty. You're as guilty as Bush and Cheney. You're as guilty as Rumsfeld and Ashcroft and Powell. ..," the man states in English with an American accent.
Drudge claims the FBI and CIA last night authenticated the tape, which includes a dire warning about a serious terror attack, but ABC News says officials have not authenticated it.
ABC News has debated whether or not to air the disturbing footage. Drudge reported the network was struggling to find the correct journalistic "balance" in its response to the tape.
Even so, the network aired parts of the tape today during its nightly newscast.
On the videotape, the man, whose head and face is covered, says, "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead resulting from an attack promised to dwarf 9-11.
" People of America, I remind you of the weighty words of our leaders, Osama bin Laden and Dr. Ayman al-Zawahri, that what took place on September 11 was but the opening salvo of the global war on America," said the man, who is identified only as "Azzam the American." "And that Allah willing, the magnitude and ferocity of what is coming your way will make you forget all about Sept. 11. After decades of American tyranny, now it's your turn to die."
Drudge reports a senior federal official claims ABC was holding back from broadcasting any portion of the video out of fear it will be seen as a political move by the network during election week.
"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting," an ABC source explained.
The tape appears to be from al-Qaida's media liaison organization.
Intelligence sources say the man in the tape is college educated, either American born or raised in the U.S. They say he may be a terror suspect named Adam Gadhan, or Adam Pearlman, of Southern California.
The reasons why Usama bin Ladin would want Kerry rather than Bush are obvious. Prior to the arrival of President Bush, there was no serious counterattack on Al Qaeda. Clinton even turned down Sudan's offer to capture and deliver bin Ladin to him. Now, as a result of the advent of Bush, bin Ladin has lost the very regime that harbored him, i.e., the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. He has also lost his chief ally Saddam Hussein, who trained the September 11 hijackers and who also harbored bin Ladin's top man in Iraq, Zarqawi. He has also lost 75 % of his own Al Qaeda leadership. Bin Ladin is now encircled, on the run, and hiding in caves, fearful of being betrayed by those around him.
Unlike the resolute Bush, Kerry is a flip-flopper. Kerry would have required a "global test" before venturing into Afghanistan or Iraq and would have treated the September 11 attack as a mere "nuisance," to be dealt with as a law enforcement matter, rather than a war. Even if forced by public opinion to go to war, Kerry would have fought a "more sensitive," more diplomatic war (i.e., dependent upon the corrupt U.N., which includes terrorist and appeasement nations). Furthermore, Kerry has allied himself with the government of Iran which is at present Al Qaeda's main ally. He has also criticized our troops as negligent at Al Qaqqa, has insulted the 30 nation coalition members ("bribed and coerced"), Iraq's democratic interim prime minister Allawi (Bush's puppet), and has unsuccessfully tried to defeat our ally John Howard in Australia.,
Bush:
On September 11, 2001, America was attacked. President Bush promptly declared war on the terrorists (and the rogue regimes which harbor them), and took the fight to the enemy. In so doing, he assembled a coalition of thirty nations willing to contribute their efforts to the task. As a result, in an amazingly short time, he accomplished four major victories with regard to: (1) Afghanistan, (2) Iraq, (3) Libya, and (4) Al Qaeda. In Afghanistan and Iraq, two rogue (terrorist-harboring) regimes were overthrown and replaced with democracies friendly to America In Libya, a third such regime was influenced by the capture of Saddam to disclose and give up its weapons of mass destruction, and to cooperate with the United States.
Meanwhile, 75% of Al Qaeda leadership was killed or captured. We are also now getting more cooperation against Al Qaeda from Moslem countries such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The development most feared by the terrorists is the arrival of free market democracy in the Middle East. In Afghanistan free elections (including women as voters) were held in October, 2004. In Iraq economic activity is rapidly increasing and preparations are well underway for such elections in January, 2005.
Kerry:
During his undistinguished Senatorial career (with little attention to duties, and only 8 Kerry bills becoming law*), Kerry has faithfully served the interests of America’s enemies (communist North Vietnam, Sandinista Nicaragua, communist China, and now terrorist Iran), but never those of the U.S. So far Kerry's only "success" (prior to becoming a senator) has been to help the communist enemy defeat his own country (the United States) and enslave Vietnam (1970). His subsequent attempt to similarly help the communists advance in Central America (i.e., the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua and the FMLN in El Salvador) suffered a major setback when the Nicaraguan people voted the Sandinistas out of office (1990). Kerry voted against the 1991 U.N. backed effort to oust Saddam from Kuwait. Kerry's position would have left Saddam today not only in Iraq, but also in Kuwait and probably Saudi Arabia. Although Kerry did vote in favor of sending troops into Iraq, he voted against arming and equipping them. This would have resulted not only in our defeat, but also in vastly increased casualties and fatalities among our troops.
Now working on behalf of the terrorist regime in Iran which harbors Al Qaeda and is seeking to develop a nuclear bomb, Kerry advocates giving that regime nuclear material to use against us. At the same time Kerry would unilaterally disarm America’s research into its own defensive “bunker busting” bombs. While requiring that America pass a “global test” in order to take pre-emptive action to defend itself against a growing threat, Kerry is also attempting (via reverse diplomacy) to undermine America's anti-terrorist coalition. However, Kerry suffered a key defeat in Australia when (despite the best efforts of Kerry's sister) America's ally John Howard was re-elected (2004).
Early in the 2004 presidential campaign, Kerry boasted of having foreign backers. When a prospective voter asked who they are, Kerry arrogantly replied that their identity is "my business, not yours." Subsequently, Kerry received overt endorsements from communist North Korea (Kim Jong Il), communist Cuba (Castro), Al Jazeera (Al Qaeda's news agency), Palestinian terrorist Yassir Arafat, avowed anti-Semitic former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed, and most importantly theocratic Iran. (E-1)
One of Kerry's foreign backers is the leading symbol to date of terrorism's success, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, the newly elected Socialist Worker Party Prime Minister of Spain, who lost no time in pulling Spain's troops out of Iraq. (E-2) Kerry's election would be an even greater victory for Al Qaeda than was Spain.)
As to the war against terror, Kerry has pledged that if elected he will abandon the president's war on terror, begin a dialogue with terrorist regimes and apologize for three-and-one-half years of alleged mistakes by the Bush administration. Kerry had the audacity to tell NBC News as recently as January, 2004 that the terrorist threat against America was "exaggerated." (E-2a) In a sweeping foreign-policy address to the Council on Foreign Relations in December, 2003, Kerry called the U.S. war on terror as conceived and led by President Bush "the most arrogant, inept, reckless and ideological foreign policy in modern history." (E-3) Beginning his dialogue at home, John Kerry has addressed the Muslim Public Affairs Council, an anti-Semitic gang which has defended the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, and whose cofounder and executive director and cofounder picked 9/11 to proclaim that "we should put the state of Israel on the suspect list" for the al-Qaeda attacks that day that killed more than 3,000 on the U.S. mainland. (E-4)
Kerry would impede the ability of our country to act pre-emptively to remove a foreign threat by requiring an undefined "global test" before we could act. (E-5) He also contends that to demonstrate good faith in the struggle against nuclear proliferation, the U.S. should unilaterally disarm itself by canceling research of "bunker-busting nuclear weapons," useful to wipe out underground nuclear installations built by rogue states like Iran. The obvious result of such a unilateral disarmament would be continued nuclear threats, terrorism and greater loss of life of American and coalition troops. (E-6) Even since 9/11, Kerry’s anti-American approach to foreign enemies has not changed. After proposing billions of dollars in cuts to America's intelligence and defense after each of the terrorist attacks against America throughout the '90s, Kerry even proposed a $10 billion cut after 9/11 - $150 million of it just two short months after the attack. (E-6a)
Radio Pyongyang, the official mouthpiece of the North Korean communist dictatorship, broadcasts Kerry's speeches in "glowing terms" and writes, "Pyongyang seems to hope victory for the Democratic candidate on November 2 would lead to a softening in U.S. policy towards the country’s nuclear weapons program." (E-7)
A key participant in terrorism's "axis of evil" is the theocratic and increasingly nuclear armed, Shiite regime in Iran. (E-8) Like the Baath party regime in Iraq, Iran is also allied with Al Qaeda (E-9) and also played a role in the September 11 attacks (E-10). "Ever since the Iranian Revolution occurred during Jimmy Carter's presidency a quarter-century ago, Tehran has been hostile to the United States and one of the world's leading supporters of terrorism - providing funding, weapons, training and safe haven to groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and even al Qaeda." (E-11) Even today the murderous Iranian regime tops the State Department's list of supporters of international terrorism. (E-12)
While still awaiting Democratic nomination, Kerry secretly e-mailed Iran (via its government-controlled news agency), criticizing his own country's foreign policy and seeking Iranian support for his candidacy. (E-13) Subsequently, at least four Iranian-Americans sympathetic to the Iranian theocracy have taken prominent roles in Kerry's fund-raising. (E-14) For his part, Kerry stated , "as president, I will be prepared early on to explore areas of mutual interest with Iran, just as I was prepared to normalize relations with Vietnam a decade ago." (E-15) He suggested that the Bush administration's unwillingness to bargain with Tehran is to blame for Iran's harboring of al Qaeda operatives. (E-16)
On September 30, 2004 in debating President Bush, Kerry insisted as president he would provide Tehran with the nuclear fuel it wants for a pledge to use it for peaceful purposes only. (E-17) While thus arming Iran, Kerry would deprive America of the "bunker buster" bombs necessary to defend against Iran's violation of its pledge. (E-18) At the same time, Iran's own terrorist organization Hezbollah (as well as Hamas) is the recipient of funds ultimately derived from Teresa Heinz Kerry. (E-19)
For Aryo Pirouznia, who chairs the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran , Kerry's offer to negotiate with hard-liners in the regime smacks of lunacy. "America is incredibly popular with the Iranian masses, so this is a grave mistake for a short-term benefit," Pirouznia says. "To the regime, this sends a message that America is willing to make a deal despite the blood of Americans who were murdered in Dhahran [Saudi Arabia] and are being killed today in Iraq by so-called foreign elements." (E-20)
Meanwhile, Iran's terrorist stooge in Iraq Moqtada Al Sadr, centered in Najaf, is fighting against America and its coalition allies, one episode resulting in the killing of 20 American GIs in two days. On October 10, 2003 Muqtada al-Sadr announced his intention to form an Islamic state in Iraq by establishing a shadow government there, complete with ministries. Fighting broke out in Karbala on 13 October 2003 when al-Sadr's men attacked supporters of moderate Shi'ite Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani near the Imam Hussein shrine. (E-21) Kerry criticized coalition closure of Al Sadr's newspaper, which had published false stories blaming the coalition forces for local acts of terrorism. Prior to catching himself, Kerry referred to Al Sadr as a "legitimate voice in Iraq." (E-22) The Independent Media Institute (AlterNet), funded by Teresa Heinz Kerry, urged anti-Americans to come to New York City to show rejection of the ongoing war in Iraq by rioting in the streets outside the Republican National Convention. "It's time to bring Najaf [site of the Al Sadr uprising in Iraq] to New York.” (E-23)
As he did in Vietnam, Kerry attempts to undermine the morale of our troops in Iraq, suggesting that the Iraq war is one against "the Iraqi people," and is merely a "grand diversion" from the war on terror, as well as
a “colossal error,” an “incredible mess," and the “wrong war” in the “wrong place” at the “wrong time.”
(E-24) In competing for the Democrat nomination, to the delight of the enemy Kerry stated that rather than a regime change in Iraq, a "regime change" was needed in the United States. (E-25) Parroting enemy propaganda, Kerry characterized the American presence in Iraq as one of "occupation" rather than liberation. (E-26) In one e-mail message received and published by the government-controlled Iranian news agency, Kerry's advisers enlisted overseas Democrats to launch a letter-writing and op-ed campaign denouncing the Bush foreign-policy record. (E-27)
Just as he did during the Vietnam war, Kerry is participating in the enemy's effort to undermine the coalition in Iraq and to de-moralize American troops. (E-28) America's coalition partners are insulted as constituting "mere window dressing," and a ''trumped-up, so-called coalition of the bribed, the coerced, the bought and the extorted" and Iraq's democratic interim prime minister Iyad Alawi is characterized by Joe Lockhart, a Kerry adviser, as "a puppet of the United States." (E-29) Meanwhile, Kerry's sister is in Australia, as is Al Qaeda, both seeking to undermine support for America's ally, Prime Minister John Howard. The goal is to replace Howard with the Labor Party candidate who is pledged to pull Australian troops out of Iraq. In pursuit of that goal, Diana Kerry warned Australia that support for President Bush would increase the terrorist threat to Australia, pointing out that "[t]he most recent attack was on the Australian embassy in Jakarta." (E-30)
Today, world leaders who oppose terrorism are under attack. Tony Blair is under attack in England. John Howard is under attack in Australia. Asnar was defeated in Spain. However, the terrorists' biggest prize has thus far eluded them: George W. Bush in the United States. As stated by James Lileks, "Let’s just be blunt: The North Koreans would love to see John Kerry win the election. The mullahs of Iran would love it. The Syrian Ba’athists would sigh with relief. Every enemy of America would take great satisfaction if the electorate rejects the Bush doctrine and scuttles back to hide under the U.N. Security Council’s table. It’s a hard question, but the right one: Which candidate does our enemy want to lose? George W. Bush." (E-31)

dhud37lud: As to the war against terror, Kerry has pledged that if elected he will abandon the president's war on terror
Of course he did. What's he going to do, shut down the intelligence agencies, pretend that Al Qaeda doesn't exist? How do you "abandon" the problem of the threat from terrorism? Maybe Kerry should give it a more understandable name, "war on terror" is lousy and misleading and soley invented for flag waving Republicans who prefer not to think.
While still awaiting Democratic nomination, Kerry secretly e-mailed Iran
