The rest of Bin Laden's tape
From the New York Post:
Free elections drive the Islamists crazy. "Everybody" said that they could not happen in Afghanistan, and they did. We have to help them happen in Iraq as well because the Islamists are fighting so hard to prevent them. Whether you once thought that Arabs and democracy don't mix, we know now that the prospect is credible enough that it terrifies the Islamists.
Officials said that in the 18-minute long tape — of which only six minutes were aired on the al-Jazeera Arab television network in the Middle East on Friday — bin Laden bemoans the recent democratic elections in Afghanistan and the lack of violence involved with it.
On the tape, bin Laden also says his terror organization has been hurt by the U.S. military's unrelenting manhunt for him and his cohorts on the Afghan-Pakistani border.
