It seems to be one Binny's more balanced statements, but once again, I think the message in this tape is simply to stir more frustration among the American people with the Bush government, and that's not a bad thing. I think it's comments like this that will make people think harder about who truly to vote for, even if bin Laden is impartial on who is in power. By exposing directly his distain with U.S. foreign policy and not with freedom itself is a clear shot at the Bush administration and its supporters.
Ironically though, this is the most chilling media I think al-Queda has released, as it seems to go beyond protecting Islam as a rationale for attack, which has been the theme for so many prior releases.
