ABC has part of the transcript:
“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.”
Without the “People of America” and “your” parts, it sounds like a speech delivered by John Edwards, Barack Obama, or really any Democrat for that matter.
So, tell us Osama, how do we end this? The answer’s talking with you guys and finding a peaceful solution, right? Dropping support for Israel? Ooh, ooh, we have to remove our troops from the Middle-East, right?
“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.”
So either die fighting you, or do away with our freedom and submit to your will – literally. Decisions, decisions…He sounds so reasonable! Why hasn’t Chimpy McBushitler tried to talk to OBL’s cronies yet?

The terrorist mastermind is back, and he wants to know why the Democrats have failed to pull our troops out of Iraq, yet.
Officials said bin Laden criticized Democrats in Congress in the video for being unable to stop the war in Iraq. The al-Qaida leader also urged young Muslims to carry out suicide bombings against the West — a piece of advice he offers in most tapes.
Bin Laden also recommended reading books by American authors Noam Chomsky and Michael Scheuer, a former CIA analyst, officials said. Chomsky’s book cites various examples of American imperialism, while Scheuer’s book argues that the U.S. does not understand the Islamic predicament.
There’s an endorsement for your plan, Demos. Maybe you should put it at the end of your anti-war commercials. Four out of Five Terrorists Recommend our Plan for Iraq.
