60 MINUTES: OSAMA BIN LADEN'S FORMER PERSONAL BODYGUARD IS CERTAIN THE AL-QAEDA LEADER IS PLANNING A NEW ATTACK AGAINST THE U.S.Thu Mar 30, 2006 14:31:00 2006
A former personal bodyguard of Osama Bin Laden says he is certain the al-Qaeda leader is planning an attack on the U.S. In the first television interview with an al-Qaeda member close to bin Laden since 9/11, http://www.drudgereport.com/tells Bob Simon first-hand details about the world's most wanted man for a 60 MINUTES report to be broadcast Sunday, April 2 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Abu Jandal, who was with bin Laden in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2000, says bin Laden's last tape on which he threatened consequences to the U.S. is not a threat, but a promise. "When Sheik Osama promises something, he does itÉ.So I believe Osama bin Laden is planning a new attack inside the United States, this is certain," he tells Simon in the interview conducted in Yemen earlier this month.
This is consistent with what I've learned about Bin Laden in the past: when he says he'll attack, he does. Only question is when. The bastard mountain goat has been making these "promises" for years now. Why? To keep us in suspense long enough to wear us down and decide he's just babbling like some crazy old fart with nothing better to do. Unfortunately, many in the Free World have fallen victim to this mass psychological manipulation. This, Bin Laden counts upon, is the best time to strike: when folks are blissfully ignorant and their guard is down.
The bottom line: it's going to happen again, or at least the enemy will try. It's coming. No matter how patient they are, we must not surrender to the frustrating suspense nor waver in our steely resolve to stand on guard against these enemies of the Free World, of freedom, democracy and the rule of law.
We are watching. And we will never stop. Yes, you vile, evil goats, remember this. We're wise to your strategy and tactics. We anticipate your adaptations. We expect the unexpected.
If you somehow manage to escape the dragnet, we'll be waiting for your yellow-bellied attempts to force the will of your deleterious theocratic camel dung upon the Free World.
The Free World rejects all that you stand for. You, terrorists, oppressors, tyrants... will fail.
In fact, the Free World will succeed. Resistance is futile. Freedom is in the blood of all. Freedom is the greatest force on Earth, against which all the murder-bent Islamofascist minions are totally insignificant. And that goes as well for those evil national empires with apparent world domination aspirations, along with their stupid little sidekicks.
We have defeated you before and will again prevail!
