Bin Laden's Tape

I just read the latest transcript from Bin Laden. This one seems completely different from the others. Makes me think it wasn't him. The biggest difference to me is the way he asks people to consider both sides, as if the issues are worthy of debate. To a fundamentalist audience, truth is god given and debate is not accomodated as it implies uncertainty. I wonder if someone there understands American culture and is hoping to recruit Americans.

The other interesting thing is he claims the issue all along was Palestine. Of course this is not consistent with previous messages. It used to be American troops in Saudi Arabia, until we removed them. Then it was getting American troops out of Iraq. Now we are removing them. No wonder they claim to be winning. This latest crusade should not require them to shift their goal so often.
