Osama Bin Laden Jumps The Shark

By Darryl Mason

Bin Laden, or whoever is making those tapes, reinvents himself as anti-capitalist, anti-global warming warrior. Or as it will probably be soon known : Greenhadism.

The War On Terror is dying in a flurry of exposed forgeries and outright frauds. There has to be something next, or governments might stop spending so much money on defence and security.

It's hard not to read a transcript of the latest Bin Laden blatherings and not wonder, seriously, if someone's pulling our chains :

"This is a message to the whole world about those responsible for climate change and its repercussions - whether intentionally or unintentionally - and about the action we must take.

"Speaking about climate change is not a matter of intellectual luxury - the phenomenon is an actual fact."

"All the industrial states (are to blame for global warming), yet the majority of those states have signed the Kyoto Protocol and agreed to curb the emission of harmful gases."

"George Bush junior, preceded by [the US] congress, dismissed the agreement to placate giant corporations. And they are themselves standing behind speculation, monopoly and soaring living costs.

"They are also behind 'globalisation and its tragic implications'. And whenever the perpetrators are found guilty, the heads of state rush to rescue them using public money."

Greenhadism. It's Bin Laden's Big New Thing.
