Many families have been devastated tonight. This just is not right. They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! . . . Why kill anyone? Such insanity . . . Let’s mourn, let’s grieve, and when it’s appropriate let’s examine our contribution to the unsafe world we live in.
MEMRI's English transcript of Osama bin Laden's speech differs slightly from the partial ones I saw first:
Your security is in your own hands. And every state that doesn't play with our security has automatically guaranteed its own security.
What was translated as 'country' by others, is tranlated as 'state' by MEMRI. (via Bill Hobbs)
There is just way too much similarity between the thinking of the two, don't you think?
