Dateline Pakistan
LAHORE, PAKISTAN (AP) - Osama bin Laden, who has risen from the dead just in time for Halloween (and the US election), in a new video criticized George W. Bush for his position on the Federal Marriage Amendment. The alleged terrorist mastermind, who Washington blames for the 9/11 attacks, stated that Bush's opposition to gay marriage reminded him of Arab dictatorships in the Middle East. He noted that Mary Cheney was a lesbian and that Al Qaeda would continue to attack as long as such inequalities remained.
Bin Laden further stated, "This goat butting- this is no good."
He went on to criticize Bush on the US economy, mentioning outsourcing as a particular problem, especially in the swing states of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, campaigning in Wisconsin, attempted to put some distance between himself and bin Laden's remarks. "I've met workers who've had to train their replacements who then returned overseas with their jobs," he said.
Filmmaker Michael Moore of Fahrenheit 9/11 fame reportedly was considering a lawsuit against bin Laden for stealing his talking points, noting that Moore was the one who brought My Pet Goat to the public's attention. He then cheered the Minutemen of Iraq.
