Bin Laden's warning (included at the following URL) to Americans to have the US Government stop its support of Israel's brutal suppression of the Palestinians (but the Zionist press/media in the US did not convey this warning to Americans because it looks out for Israel first);

Since 1967, we have received some 170 billion dollars
from the people of the US. This money could be used
to feed and school all the underprivileged kids of America.
It could pay to compensate the descendants of the African
slaves and help them out of their hardship. It could save
the sick and comfort the miserable; it could turn Africa
into a paradise. But it was kidnapped and shipped to our
shores. Every dollar invested by the Israeli lobby into
senators and congressmen has been returned a hundred
fold, as promised by the Bible. Besides the taxpayer's
money, the supporters of Israel's business executives -
invested billions of dollars that theirshareholders entrusted
them with. There is no sound business reason behind
Intel's investment, or other similar investments. Israel
has no pool of qualified workers, they have to be imported
like everything else. The risk of the investments in our
country is great and the profits are meager. But then
again, they are playing with somebody else's money.
Israel's supporters fleece America in a grand way,
but they also go after other prey. [...] The Swiss and
the Germans keep paying umpteen billions of dollars to
Israel for the confiscated property of Jews, though Israel
never paid even one penny for the confiscated Gentile
property. The Europeans meekly comply under threat
of the toughest of brothers Cray, the mightiest enforcer
of Jewish loans, the US. Israel's supporters overseas
are like a giant Hoover machine, sucking out money
and sweat from all over the world. Witness Mark Rich,
the thieving billionaire, pardoned by the best supporter
of Israel, Bill Clinton? He was a Mossad agent. [...]
Sometimes, the Palestinians and their friends bemoan
their inability to build up their own Arab lobby to counteract
the Israeli lobby. They miss the most important point.
The Israeli lobby should not be just a Palestinian concern,
but the concern of all Americans. When oil runs out
of a tanker's hulk, it should concern the crew and the
owners, not only the fish. Israel's supporters swindle
all Americans of their money, and antagonize America's
potential friends abroad. Many American politicians
support the swindle in order to remain in power.
For personal political ambitions, they betray the
trust of their voters. John F. Kennedy told Gore Vidal,
that in 1948, Harry Truman was on the verge of losing
the presidential election, but a Zionist supporter brought
to him 2 million dollars cash and saved his skin. It
caused America to vote for the creation of the Jewish
State. This pattern perpetuates itself. The politicians
take bribes, sell pardons, accept "donations", and
help the Israeli lobby to rob the people of America.
The actual direct contribution of American Jews for
the welfare of Israel is quite small and tax exempt.
It would hardly cover the cost of the missiles and nerve
gas to kill Palestinians, much less support the Israeli
life style to which we have become accustomed. But
what Israel supporters collect in campaign contributions
is enough to bribe politicians and embezzle a good
chunk of American money from the US treasury. If
such a swindle would be hatched by, say, the Libyan
lobby, the media would rightly demand these people
be registered as foreign agents of influence. That is
where the Israeli lobby cashes in on the solidarity of
the many American Jews and right-wing Christian
Zionists in the national media.

Who's Kidding Whom?
The Myth of the Innocent Civilian
By Michael Santomauro
At least half of those victims who were killed on Sept. 11, 2001 will not be missed, in my way of thinking they were part of the problem. If the dead are a reflection of how the living and uncaring American concerns himself about the Middle East, then maybe the typical American deserves the same fate.
The majority of those killed on 9/11 thought that the Muslim world hates the U.S. because of our freedoms. That the Arabs are a hateful people. That the Palestinians are in the wrong.
And that Israel is right.
Many of the dead, when they were alive spoke in the same vernacular as their loved ones do today.
"Who gives a fuck about the Palestinians."
"We should just let Israel drop atomic bombs
on the whole region and kill them all."
"There're just sandniggers, who cares about them."
"God gave the land to the Jews. The bible says so."
"There're just a bunch of terrorists."
"We should send weapons to Israel, look at what
happened to them with the holocaust."
"If we can't trust them, why should Israel?"
Former Congressman Findley writes:
"Nine-eleven would not have occurred if the U.S. government had refused to help Israel humiliate and destroy Palestinian society. Few express this conclusion publicly, but many believe it is the truth. I believe the catastrophe could have been prevented if any U.S. president during the past 35 years had had the courage and wisdom to suspend all U.S. aid until Israel withdrew from the Arab land seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war."
Do we really care?
I think if the typical American does not make an attempt to understand the damage our weapons have inflicted on the Arabs by proxy with Israel and the continuous dishonest one-sided United States foreign policy in the region, then maybe we deserve more of what we got on Sept. 11, 2001.
Former Congressman Findley continues:
"In its violent assaults on Palestinians, Israel uses the pretext of eradicating terrorism, but its forces are actually engaged advancing the territorial expansion just cited. Under the guise of anti-terrorism, Israeli forces treat Palestinians worse than cattle. With due process nowhere to be found, hundreds are detained for long periods and most are tortured. Some are assassinated. Homes, orchards, and business places are destroyed. Entire cities are kept under intermittent curfew, some confinements lasting for weeks. Injured or ill Palestinians needing emergency medical care are routinely held at checkpoints for an hour or more. Many children are undernourished. The West Bank and Gaza have become giant concentration camps. None of this could have occurred without U.S. support. Perhaps Israeli officials believe life will become so unbearable that most Palestinians will eventually leave their ancestral homes."
The arrogance, the callousness was there!
The typical, now dead American from 9/11 lived his life knowing these facts and not caring about it. The arrogance and the callousness was part of his everyday being. Was his life worth living, if he didn't care how the American government was using his tax money to hurt people? to destroy the livelihoods of an entire region? to allow American bombs to be used in a criminal way when dropped by Israel? Knowing the U.S. veto power would come to the rescue of Israel, in virtually any UN resolution that was condemning Israel's crimes against the Arabs.
My contention is most of those killed on 9/11 were aware of this.
I think to myself, when is America going to stop the culture of lies.
And then my inner thoughts hear the callousness of the dead. When they were alive before 9/11 scream--"So what? Who cares? Bomb them all."
So what?
The myth of the innocent civilian. Who's kidding whom? Nine-eleven should be a reminder that if more Americans have an early death, it is because of the end result of not caring.

| THE WISE COURSE: WITHDRAW FROM IRAQ
By Paul Findley / May 6, 2004
Misguided by the arrogance of military power and a dangerous vision of
imperial destiny, President George W. Bush and a compliant Congress have
led America into a bloody abyss that gets deeper and bloodier with each
passing day.
Their dreams of a flower-strewn path of Iraqi liberation have become a
nightmare. U.S. forces are mired in a lethal struggle against powerful,
resourceful insurgents. It is war, not liberation. Casualties blight
many thousands of families on both sides, with no end in sight. Iraqi
hostility to the U.S. occupation soars and so does anti-American fury
worldwide. Photographs of barbaric U.S. torture and abuse of
incarcerated Iraqis will long burn in the memories of many millions.
Never before has America been viewed in such wretched ugliness.
President Bush’s response to this plight is more troops, preferably from
other countries. It will only deepen the misery. We learned in Vietnam
that more foreign military firepower will increase insurgency, not quell
it. Bush misreads the militancy as the work of remnants of the Saddam
regime and newly arrived troublemakers from Al Queda. It fact, it is
motivated mainly by broad Iraqi fear that the United States plans to
control Iraq far into the future. Here are questions that trouble Iraqis:
-- Why has Washington established a super-embassy in Iraq with a staff
of 3,000, the largest diplomatic mission in world history? Is it
designed to influence future Iraqi governmental activity?
-- How long will U.S. troops remain in Iraq? Will U.S. military bases
there ever be dismantled?
-- When will reconstruction work be turned over to Iraqi contractors and
employees?
-- How can Iraqis believe Bush’s promise of independence and freedom
while he helps Israel deny these same rights in neighboring Palestine?
Israel has long manipulated U.S. policy in the Middle East and already
advises U.S. forces on how to organize the occupation. Consequently,
Iraqis fear Israel will be the real power in fashioning U.S. policy in
Iraq during the interim period that starts July l and will remain
dominant even after Iraqi citizens directly elect a government. A recent
major survey by CNN-USA Today reports that Iraqis fear becoming “another
Palestine.”
The remedy to this dreadful mess is a clear U.S. decision, announced
immediately, to exit Iraq. President Bush must face down Israeli
opposition and announce that, within weeks after the inauguration of the
new directly-elected government, probably in early January, a full U.S.
withdrawal will occur.
His announcement must state that all U.S. military forces and any
abnormal U.S. diplomatic bureaucracy will depart, except for those the
new Iraqi government may ask to remain. Beyond any such exceptions, all
U.S. military bases will be dismantled, all U.S. construction and
maintenance contracts will be terminated, and all future U.S. aid to
Iraq will handled through the U.S. Agency for International Development.
If Bush acts, his announcement will be applauded except by the Israeli
government. In America, all citizens will know that the costly mess in
Iraq will soon end. In Iraq, with the U.S. exit assured, insurgency will
surely diminish and casualties may even end. Attention will shift to
approving a constitution and electing a truly independent Iraqi government.
Worldwide anti-American passion will subside, because the announcement
will be read as a significant departure, not just from Iraq, but from
the war-making doctrines announced by the Bush administration after the
9/11 catastrophe. It will also signal the end of Bush’s dreams of empire
in the Middle East and be a significant expression of America’s.
confidence is the ability of the Iraqis to manage their own affairs.
When the U.S. exit is completed, Americans and Iraqis alike will be able
to give full attention to mending the awful wounds of an awful war.

Of course, UBL also said tthat it was payment for US troops in Saudi Arabia, the Crusades and the west's shabby treatment of the Caliphate. The guy is still fighting battles that supposedly ended thousands of years ago. UBL doesn't need Israel for an excuse when he is still fighting the Crusades. | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
