 NEWS FLASH JUST IN What the media does not want you to know. This was just given to anointed.net The missing 12 minutes on the Osama bin Laden tape says He is afraid that Bush will get elected The timing was no coincidence. The fugitive meant to influence the outcome of the American presidential election. He couched his message in such a way that, whoever wins next Tuesday, he would be able to claim part of the credit. While Bin Laden’s fire was mostly aimed at Bush, whom he accused of having “deceived and tricked” the Americans for four years, he did not offer a clear endorsement of the Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry. He assert that "liberals", meaning Kerry, could be as strong on security as anyone else. But few people have forgotten that Bin Laden’s first attack against the World Trade Center came in 1993 when Bill Clinton, a “liberal” was president. A more careful reading of Bin Laden’s text, however, reveals his notorious thirst for publicity and self-aggrandizement. For the first time he claims the copyright for the 9/11 attacks,] seeking to end rumors that the operation was planned and carried out without him being informed of the specifics. Indirectly, the fugitive is rejecting the theory that it was Khalid Sheikh Muhammad who More said master minded the 9/11 attacks, and that Bin Laden's role was limited to providing the cash. Like a child who wants to take credit, he is crying "I did it, I did it!" Things to note that are different on this tape: The first is the style. For the first time, Bin Laden uses a clean, direct prose, free of blood-curdling hyperbole, childish poetics, and flowery rhetoric. This may be because his message is specifically addressed at the American voters rather than Islamist militants. Second, this is a clearly political message. There are no religious motifs, no citations from the Holy Book or the Hadith, and no pseudo-theological arguments. Having claimed for years that religion and politics were one, he now acknowledges that they are distinct domains. In that sense he has taken his first step toward secularization. Third, Bin Laden appears to have abandoned or surrendered his messianic mission. This is like admiting faliure. He no longer wants to save humanity from "kufr" (unbelief), and plant the banner of the Only True Faith on top of every capital in all continents. He is, in fact, reading an op-ed piece written in the style of Michael Moore. Fourth, Bin Laden is trying, rather belatedly, to attach himself to political causes that might attract some Arabs. These include the Palestinian cause, a key ingredient of Pan-Arab bitterness. But he also speaks of the US intervention in Lebanon in 1982, forgetting the fact that the US Marines and the French paras went there on behalf of the United Nations to prevent Israel from marching on Beirut to capture and kill Yasser Arafat and the entire Palestinian leadership trapped there. Nor does he mention that Arafat and his colleagues were taken to safety in an American ship under US Marine escort. Finally, and here is the most surprising theme of the message, Bin Laden is offering the Americans a deal. To cast himself as an honest deal-maker he takes up some of Michael Moore's themes, especially about President George W. Bush not reacting to the 9/11 attacks fast enough. The deal is simple, and Bin Laden hammers it in more specifically: "Do not play with our security, and spontaneously you will secure yourself." In other words, if you leave me alone. If you forget about the 3,000 murdered on 9/11 I will leave you alone. He wants America to be held hostage just like "President Carter" What does this mean? Bin Laden is asking us for peace. Translated into practical terms it means that Bin Laden would call off his hounds, if he has any left, provided the US and its allies halt hunting him down. He is afraid if Bush gets elected he will be caught. Compare this with Bin Laden’s previous statements and you will be struck by the change of tone and substance. He is no longer promising to destroy America come what may. Nor is he issuing one of his typical jeremiads about the Americans never again being safe or secure. Nor, again, is there any sign of one of his favorite phrases: "Every street in America will become a river of blood."Also gone are all his pretensions that his perverted version of Islam provides an alternative world vision. Bin Laden is offering a deal to the Americans, Bin Laden has few cards to play. He is holed up somewhere with his movements seriously restricted. His group has managed to produce just three videotapes and four audiotapes in four years, not an impressive figure even for amateurs who make home movies. In the past four years, a number of terrorist attacks have been attributed to Al-Qaeda. But in not a single case, from Bali to Madrid and passing by Islamabad and Tunis, a clear link with Al-Qaeda has been established. More importantly, there has been no terror attack in the United States or in the territory of its closest allies the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan and Australia. This does not mean that international terrorism has disappeared. Far from it. What it means is that Bin Laden, isolated in hiding as he is, can no longer play a leading role in shaping its strategy. So, what does Bin Laden have to offer. His chief asset is name recognition. He has become an iconic figure of terror throughout the world. It is enough for him to send one of his Al-Jazeera messages to capture the headlines in the West, though not in the Muslim world. Whatever the outcome of the US election he could always boast that he had an impact. And who can be sure whether he did or did not? Appearing on the eve of elections in democratic countries to throw in a political hand grenade is the major asset that Bin Laden has left. And it is on that basis that he is offering a deal. Bin Laden may have the illusion that by offering an olive branch, albeit in his own strange way, he might pave the way for negotiations with a putative Kerry administration in Washington. There is, however, no chance that any American leader would ever be able to take up the fugitive's offer. He is hoping Kerry will do the same as he did after Vietnam. It was clear to him that Kerry had no stomach for war and was willing to do anything for peace. Bin Laden knows he has no were to go if Bush gets elected again.

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. It's 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.
