White House: ‘Osama tape points to importance of Iraq war’

CRAWFORD, Texas - The White House said Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden’s latest message Saturday underscores the improving situation in Iraq and the importance of the US-led military mission there.

“This is a reminder that the aim of Al Qaeda in Iraq is to block democracy and freedom for all Iraqis. It also reminds us that the mission to defeat Al Qaeda in Iraq is critically important and must succeed,” said White House spokesman Tony Fratto.

Bin Laden’s taped message, issued online Saturday, warned Muslims against supporting Iraq’s US-backed government and accused the United States of seeking to control the region through Iraq, according to SITE, a US-based institute that monitors extremist web forums.

“The Iraqi people — every day, and in increasing numbers — are choosing freedom and standing against the murderous, hateful ideology of Al Qaeda in Iraq — and we stand with them,” Fratto said.

...no mention of the Bhuto assassination (supposedly an Al Qaeda operation) and speaking entirely in generalities: poor ol' Osama must really be out of the loop these days. He can't even afford a video camera any more. Or (seemingly) a radio.

It must be great to be able to talk so much crap and get away with it on the public dime.
