Bin Ladin: Bush deceived Americans
(Aljazeera.Net, 29 October 2004)
Usama bin Ladin appeared on Aljazeera television on Friday accusing US President George W. Bush of deceiving the American people. . . . In an address just days ahead of the US presidential election, bin Ladin also said the US administration resembled "corrupt" Arab governments. . . . He accused Bush of reacting slowly to the September 11 attacks, saying: "I never thought that the supreme leader would leave 50,000 of his people in the two towers to face the terrifying events alone at the time they were in need for him." . . . Refering to next week's elections, he told Americans: "Your security is not in the hands of (Democratic candidate John) Kerry or (President George W.) Bush or al-Qaida. Your security is in your own hands ...." . . . He accused Bush of "misleading" the American people four years after the September 11 attacks. . . . Claiming responsibility for the attacks, bin Ladin said, "we decided to destroy towers in America," because "we want to regain the freedom of our nation." . . . He added that "the reasons to repeat what happened" on 11 September 2001 remain.
