Al-Jazeera aired portions of the videotape Friday but released the full transcript of the entire tape on its Web site Monday.

"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah,".

How we gonna pay for the new war?

1. Already done

3. Yup. It worked damn well for Bin Laden.

His attack ended up luring our 'leaders' into a path that drained trillions in wealth from the country and destroyed the middle class.

13. Amazing how those words are so appropriate years after his death.

2. An interesting tidbit...

When CNN finally published the transcript, they redacted a couple of paragraphs.

I noticed this by comparing the transcript on the CNN website and the Al Jazeera English website.

(I did a post about it many moons ago here on DU).

4. CNN....Fox lite.

Sadly, even with the internet, not enough people are learning to think for themselves and seek out non-MSM info and news.

5. Good plan, they have us more than halfway there. Frankly Kudos to them, if we are that stupid.

6. Do unto others

wasn't that the strategy behind us funding the Afghans vs. USSR?

7. Iraq gov.pays for IS attacks on their country. Republicans are the Pentagon big spenders.

8. Yep, just like I thought...they are stupid morans.

You can't break a rigged system! And war? SHIT who you think created modern warfare? ISIS is dumb...we don't operate like they think we do, 9/11 already took care of that.

They seem to be 10 years behind current trends.

9. Silly terrorist leader

Doesn't he know not to play with fire? We have a tremendous amount of nuclear weapons just laying around. They're already bought and paid for.

10. Do these chuckleheads have endless supplies of men, materiel and money? nt

with the English transcript from Al Jazeera:

All that we have mentioned has made it easy for us to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving for it anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies.

This is in addition to our having experience in using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers, as we, alongside the mujahidin, bled Russia for 10 years, until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat.

All Praise is due to Allah.

So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah.

12. Erect Bogeyman, wave flag, declare we need protection, give more money to the MIC.

Works every time.
