For those who are interested, they have released the full transcript of the latest Bin Laden tape.

I think Bush is very lucky that this was released so soon to the election, 1 day isn't enough for people to realize what was said on the tape. Regardless of whether it is all true or not, there are lots of damaging quotes from Bin Laden that would have made for great talking points.

A couple of my favourite are:

"It never occurred to us that the Command-in-Chief of the American Armed Forces would abandon 50,000 of his citizens in the twin towers to face those great horrors alone at the time when they most needed him. But because it seemed to him that occupying himself by talking to the little girl about the goat and its butting was more important than occupying himself with the planes and their butting of the skyscrapers we were given three times the period required to execute the operations"

and while talking about his goal to bankrupt the US as they did Russia

"(US Government) has helped al-Qa'ida to achieve those enormous results. And so it has appeared to some analysts and diplomats that the White House and us are playing as one team towards the economic goals of the United States even if the intentions differ"

I think the most important lines of all though talk about why he did it "The events that affected my soul in a direct way started in 1982 when America permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon and the American Sixth Fleet helped them in that". And how it can be stopped " ... your security is not in the hands of Kerry, nor Bush, nor al-Qa'ida. No, your security is in your own hands. And every state that doesn't play with our security, has automatically guaranteed its own security."
