Osama Bin Laden's Surrender Proposal

Osama Bin Laden released a video whose transcript is given below.

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.

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.

We didn't find difficulty dealing with Bush and his administration due to
the similarity of his regime and the regimes 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.

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.

Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al Qaeda. Your
security is in your hands. Each state that doesn't mess with our security has
automatically secured their security.

It is important to notice what he has stopped saying in this speech. He has
stopped talking about the restoration of the Global Caliphate. There is no more
mention of the return of Andalusia. There is no more anticipation that Islam
will sweep the world. He is no longer boasting that Americans run at the
slightest wounds; that they are more cowardly than the Russians. He is not
talking about future operations to swathe the world in fire but dwelling on past
glories. He is basically saying if you leave us alone we will leave you alone.
Though it is couched in his customary orbicular phraseology he is basically
asking for time out.

The American answer to Osama's proposal will be given on Election Day. One
response is to agree that the United States of America will henceforth act like
Sweden, which is on track to become majority Islamic sometime after the middle
of this century. The electorate best knows which candidate will serve this end;
which candidate most promises to be European-like in attitude and they can
choose that path with both eyes open. The electorate can strike that bargain and
Osama may keep his word. The other course is to reject Osama's terms utterly; to
recognize the pleading in his outwardly belligerent manner and reply that his
fugitive existence; the loss of his sanctuaries; the annihilation of his men are
but the merest foretaste of what is yet to come: to say that to enemies such as
he, the initials 'US' will always mean Unconditional Surrender.

Osama has stated his terms. He awaits America's answer.
