Bin Laden On YouTube: Gaza & Greenspan, Biden & ‘Heavy Burden’ for Obama

Osama Bin Laden is his usual rambling self on the latest tape — made public earlier today. He speaks about Joe Biden and Alan Greenspan, Glub Pasha and Hitler, the Crusaders and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In terms of comments that prove its currency, there are references to the fighting in Gaza and the U.S. financial crisis.  No mention of either President Bush or Barack Obama by name — but he does say that in view "He (Bush) has given his heir a heavy burden…" Other excerpts: "Here is America drowning in the economic crisis so it targets smaller nations vs. the larger ones. Her enemies no longer fear her and her friends do not respect her. Here was must note that the first thing to suffer from America’s tyranny is the Zionist entity because it loses its main ally and one of the main arteries of its survival. This rapid demise of America’s power is one of the main reasons why Israel has brutally attacked Gaza in a futile way to benefit from the final days between the Bush administration and the new custodians…" "My Moslem nation, the talk about the weakness and demise of America hegemony and the destruction…the crumbling of America’s economy comes from high-ranking leaders as it is not possible for them to hide this any longer. Take Biden, the vice president of the elected ruler, he says the crisis is bigger than we were expecting and America’s economy is exposed to ruin…Alan Greenspan also says that the Great Depression will look like a fun tryst next to this economic crisis. French President Sarkozy says the economic crisis is very deep and the global monetary system was on the brink of a catastrophe and I say it is in the arms of a catastrophe God willing." As we said earlier — it’s the first message from Bin Laden in seven months — and U.S. intelligence officials believe it is authentic. The tape plays here…
