[Allegedly Bush demon] Bin Laden calls Saddam 'infidel' but backs Iraq?
A [US propaganda, fear-mongering] taped message purportedly from Osama bin Laden has warned Arab nations against supporting a war against Iraq but has branded Saddam Hussein an infidel.
[Just plain rubbish!]
In the recording, a man's voice is heard calling on Iraqis to draw on Al Qaeda's experience from fighting United States forces at the Tora Bora complex in Afghanistan.
The BBC reports from Baghdad that the quality of the tape broadcast on Al-Jazeera television was poor and the timing for Iraq even worse.
The Iraqi Government has repeatedly tried to distance itself from Al Qaeda and advice reputedly from Osama bin Laden is unlikely to be welcome in Baghdad at this critical juncture.
The message calls on Iraqis to make suicide attacks and talks of the importance of drawing the enemy into long, close and tiring fighting.
It calls the Americans crusaders and says anyone who helps them or fights with them should know he is an apostate - a person who has foresaken religion.
Others will see the tape as likely to help the US as it tries to cement a case against Iraq.
The US says the tape confirms a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda.
[But in reality the tape confirms a link between the criminal USA, CIA, Osama bin Laden, the fake war on terror and fear-mongering propaganda by the Coalition of the Killing, PNAC.]
