Al Jazerra To Air New Bin Laden Tape (Wizbang)

Flash...

CAIRO, Egypt The Arab television station Al-Jazeera said Friday it would broadcast a tape from Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden on an evening newscast.

Al-Jazeera said the tape deals with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and their consequences. While the announcer said the message was an audiotape, the station's Web site called it a video.

The Qatari-based channel did not say how it had received the tape nor how it had concluded that it was authentic.

Fox is supposedly running a this at 4PM EST. I'm sure we'll have much more on this later. Thanks to Paul for the tipoff...

Update: The linked report now has details on the tape.

Aljazeera reports Bin Ladin: Reasons to attack US remain

Gesturing at the camera with a finger to stress points, bin Ladin once again took responsibility for the September 11 attacks and said reasons to attack the United States remain.

He also accused US President George Bush of deceiving the American people.

"Despite the fact that we are into the fourth year after September 11, President Bush is still misleading you and hiding the real reason from you, which means that the reasons to repeat what happened remain," bin Ladin said.

In his address just four days ahead of the US presidential election, bin Ladin also said the US administration resembled "corrupt" Arab governments.

Update 2: Drudge has the transcript.

Wizbang Blue: Did McCain Cheat at Saddleback? It's Quite Possible

Note that in the furor over McCain's absence from the supposed "cone of silence" at the Saddleback forum last Saturday night, the McCain campaign is repeatedly stating that McCain did not hear any of the proceedings... but they aren't saying he wasn't coached or fed the questions by someone who did hear the broadcast, are they...?

During Saturday night's forum in Saddleback, Senator John McCain was asked what income level constituted "rich" - and he answered $5 million or more. Other millionaires ($2 million... $3 million,... $4 million...) aren't rich, in McCain's view, and shouldn't be taxed as if they were... It makes you wonder just how out of touch John McCain is with most of Americans. So does this video...

The tape is now available. According to the AP story, bin Laden brought up the bit about Bush staying at the school when he heard the news about the tower strike. Do you think maybe he's seen Farenheit 9/11?

Boy, John Kerry gave a statement on the bin Laden tape. He actually almost fooled me into believing he was really a warrior. But thank goodness visions of him spouting his absurd utterances stopped my momentary lapse in good judgement. What was I thinking? John Kerry an effective Commander-in-Chief? Baloney!!!

No. The 365-day period immediately following 9/11/01 would be the first year after, and the second year after would start immediately after 9/11/02 and the third year after would start after 9/11/03. So the fourth year after would immediately follow 9/11/04.
