Washington, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Osama bin Laden
"suggested" two ways to end the war in Iraq in a new video statement made to
mark the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, according to a transcript ABC
News released on Friday.
After the initial technical analysis, intelligence
officials said the voice on the new video was that of bin Laden.
They also believe it was recently-made for it
contains references to current events in the United States and other countries
including election of Nicolas Sarkozy as the French president in May.
According to the transcript ABC News obtained before
it goes public, bin Laden says there are two ways to end the war.
"The first is from our side, and it is to continue to
escalate the killing and fighting against you," he said.
The second one, as he added, is to do away with the
American democratic system of government.
"It has now become clear to you and the entire world
the impotence of the democratic system and how it plays with the interests of
the peoples and their blood by sacrificing soldiers and populations to achieve
the interests of the major corporations," he said.
In the 30-minute video statement, bin Laden again
advocated his" law of retaliation" by saying "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a
tooth and the killer is killed."
The head of the al-Qaida terrorist group, throughout
the video, slammed the White House's war policy in Iraq and American people'
sdecision to vote for George W. Bush to be the president.
"You made one of your greatest mistakes, in that you
neither brought to account nor punished those who waged this war, not even the
most violent of its murderers ..."
On current events concerning the United States, bin
Laden mentioned "the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real
estate mortgages, global warming and its woes ..."
The intelligence official believe that the video was
made as recently as this summer.
Bin Laden, who tops the U.S. wanted list, has
disappeared from video since October 2004 when he was last seen in a video
statement before the 2004 U.S. presidential election. His last audiotape was
released in July 2006, in which he vowed to fight the United States across the
world.
He returned to the screen on Thursday when U.S.
officials foundon militant websites an Arabic ad for the new video that was set
to be released to mark anniversary of the Sept. 11
attacks.
