Osama Bin Laden's Reappearance

A video tape of Osama bin Laden addressing the U.S. was aired Friday by Al-Jazeera television. Bin Laden spoke of the upcoming candidates, and the reasons behind September 11th. He implied that one of the reasons behind the 9/11 attacks was in response to an attack the U.S. made in Lebanon in 1982. "The towers in America must be destroyed so that America gets a taste of what we went through," bin Laden said on the tape. He also said that President Bush's reaction to the attacks as being incompetent. The tape came out just in time for Americans to see before the election, but U.S. political analysts estimate it could be positive for Pres. Bush because the tape could make some voters not want to switch candidates.
