Kerry 'Outraged' Over bin Laden Tape Impact Rolling Eyes

http://www.newsmax.com/scripts/printer_friendly.pl?page=http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/10/31/93025.shtml

John Kerry said Sunday that he's "outraged" that anyone would think the re-emergence of Osama bin Laden on a terror video released Friday may hurt his chances in next Tuesday's election.
"I'm outraged that he has appeared," Kerry told ABC News anchor Peter Jennings. "I'm outraged that he inserts himself in any kind of way into the electoral process of America." Asked about comments from both his campaign and team Bush suggesting that the bin Laden tape gives the president a big boost in the closing days of the campaign, Kerry told Jennings, "I think it's unfortunate that anybody puts Osama bin Laden into any political context in the United States' election."
When reminded that his surrogates were the first to address the bin Laden tape in a political context, Kerry said: "Well, I don't want them doing that. I think that's wrong. I think that every American is outraged at the sight of Osama bin Laden and anything that he says about the American electoral process."
In fact, minutes after Al-Jazeera aired the terror tape, Kerry himself politicized the news, saying that bin Laden's continued survival was the result of Bush "outsourcing" the hunt for the terror chief in December 2001.

Here's the NY Posts story about how Al Jazeera edited the Osama tape. Leaving out the parts where Osama admits the toll the war on terror has taken on Al Qaeda.

FULL TAPE AN OSAMA A WOE SHOW

By NILES LATHEM

October 31, 2004 -- Osama bin Laden doesn't seem nearly so cocky in the unedited version of a videotape aired on al-Jazeera, complaining that the manhunt against him has hampered al Qaeda. AFP/Getty ImagesBin Laden the impotent / Opinion: Page 27 Osama bin Laden's newest tape may have thrust him to the forefront of the presidential election, but what was not seen was the cave-dwelling terror lord talking about the setbacks al Qaeda has faced in recent months.

Officials said that in the 18-minute long tape — of which only six minutes were aired on the al-Jazeera Arab television network in the Middle East on Friday — bin Laden bemoans the recent democratic elections in Afghanistan and the lack of violence involved with it.

On the tape, bin Laden also says his terror organization has been hurt by the U.S. military's unrelenting manhunt for him and his cohorts on the Afghan-Pakistani border.

A portion of the left-out footage includes a tirade aimed at President Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, claiming the war in Iraq is purely over oil.

When you think about it, JOHN KERRY is just as much an "ENEMY" to the United States as is OBL!

Kerry is also more of a THREAT to our Security.

Heck the damned tape was only released with 6 minutes of the full 18, had they released it in its entirety Kerry would be truely hurting!
Osama went on to whine about the Democracy growing in Afghanistan and how badly AQ has been hurt the past couple years.
Damned MSM!! Evil or Very Mad

You got that exactly right, Candi!

bin Laden to America: Please! Get George W. Bush off my @$$! I beg of you! If you do, I promise I won't do anything like I haven't been able to do while Bush was president, even though under Kerry I will be able to rebulid al Quaida as I did under Clinton! But never mind about that, and just vote for Kerry! Allah akbar! Give peace a chance! You can trust me!

No sale, binny baby. Twisted Evil

Did you hear what the Republicans said, they said that Kerry had to wait to see what the polls said before he came out and mentioned anything. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Laughing

Janndallas,
Look at the newest post re: Cheney/Poll..
Is that the one you were making reference to???
I am absolutely stunned on that.
Somehow I thought they did things with a little more vision.
Lord save us from all of them.
