Myths Video Debunks
(1) MYTH: "They hate us for our freedoms."
BIN LADEN REBUTTAL: "Why doesn't Bush tell us why we didn't attack Sweden, for example?"
(2) MYTH: "No Arab hijackers carried out the attacks"
BIN LADEN REBUTTAL: "It's known that those who hate freedom don't have great souls as the 19 men[hijackers]."
(3) MYTH: "Bin Laden hates America because he's a Muslim."
BIN LADEN REBUTTAL: "As you destroy our security, we will destroy your security."
(4) MYTH: "Bin Laden is a USG creation intended to generate support for the Administration policies."
BIN LADEN REBUTTAL: "I'm really surprised now we enter the 4th year after 9/11 operations and Bush is still misinforming you and not showing you the real reasons for these operations."
BIN LADEN REBUTTAL: "I'm going to tell you the real reasons for these operations and I'm going to be truthful with you about the moments the attacking decision was made, to think about it...
When we saw the devil coalition between the US and Israel to attack our families in Palestine and Lebanon, this idea came to my mind...go back to 1982 when America gave Israel the green light to attack Lebanon...
While I was looking at those destroyed towers in Lebanon, it came to my mind to punish the evil with the same way and to destroy towers in America to let them feel a little torture as we felt...
Both governments (US and Arab) are full of greedy and bad guys."
(5) MYTH: "Mohammed Atta (911 hijacker) had no connection with Bin Laden and the delays in responding to the 911 emergencies were deliberate"
BIN LADEN REBUTTAL: "We've (dealt) with Mohammed Atta [hijacker leader] to finish all the operations in just 20 minutes before Bush and the army pay attention to the operations, and it never came to our minds that the US President would leave 50,000 civilians face death when they needed him much more than before, because Bush maybe thought that listening to the children... is more important than the planes that destroyed the towers which supported [al Qaeda teams] with 60 minutes to complete all the operations."
(6) MYTH: "The OBL tape was released just prior to the 2004 elections to swing the election to Kerry and away from Bush. Bin Laden wants to conquer the West and impose Islamic law on everyone."
BIN LADEN REBUTTAL: "Americans. Your safety isn't in the hands of Bush or Kerry or Al Qaeda. Your safety is in your hands. And that any American state that doesn't destroy Islamic security is safe from al Qaeda operations."
Regardless of how true or untrue some individual statements in the video may be, the video is clearly extremely critical of the Bush Administration and in no way can be construed as an attempt to bolster support for the WOT or American policies. Or a made in US fabrication.
Bin Laden died in 2001 from kidney failure. The CIA in the Washington Post admitted making fake Bin Laden tapes. There were no Arabs on any of the 4 hijacked planes.
And who is it making the tape released October 2004 - 3 years after you say OBL died, that's extremely critical of Bush and American policy in the Middle East? And also goes against all conventional explanations of what al Qaeda's motivations are.
The CIA in the Washington Post admitted making fake Bin Laden tapes.
Wrong. Where's the link or any other substantive proof?
There were no Arabs on any of the 4 hijacked planes.
Wrong. There are surveillance tapes showing various Arabs boarding. There are also cell phone conversations both made and also recorded in flight, to family members, while the planes were being hijacked, describing Arabs including one swarming of the cockpit to attack the Arab pilot/hijacker.
While some of the Arabs did have stolen ID's or relatives with similar names, those facts do not stop them from being Arabs.
Cell phones working on a plane in flight. That's pretty good, considering that that same year, not more than a month before September 11th, I was on a plane, with a cell phone, it was the latest and greatest technology, and it didn't work at ALL.
Now, Even NOW, you can't use a cell phone on a plane, it simply will not work. Unless you have a Satellite phone, you have no reception.
