I've lived in the middle east for twenty-five years. i know exactly how these issues come up. even my landlord, who is a moderate lebanese guy, says, "but bin laden says what we think." these people believe that osama bin laden is being targeted not because of the world trade center and washington; they are not convinced by the evidence that has been produced. they believe he's being targeted because he tells the truth.

I was very struck by the fact that colin powell said he would produce evidence of osama bin laden fault and then never produced it. then tony blair produced a document of seventy paragraphs, but only the last nine referred to the world trade center, and they were not convincing. so we have a little problem here: if they're guilty, where is the evidence? and if we can't hear the evidence, why are we going to war?

We live in a society in the west, where, when men do violent things, they do them under orders. they are soldiers carrying out orders or mafia men carrying out killings for bosses. but the way things happen in the middle east is not the same as in the west. look, international capital has been globalized, so osama bin laden is globalized. it's not surprising to find followers of bin laden in all these countries.

Look, president clinton had opportunities to get osama bin laden. president bush had opportunities to get osama bin laden. i know how to do it and i'll do it. and i understand and i have the knowledge and the background and the experience to make the right judgments. sen. obama does not. he was wrong on iraq. he underestimated iran. he has no knowledge or experience or judgment. that's - he doesn't know how - how the world works nor how the military works. i do and i can lead and i'll secure the peace.

Osama bin laden put out a new video. the timing of this video has some people upset, three days before we vote. it looks like he's trying to influence the election. and i'll tell you, it's not going to work. americans know osama bin laden does not pick our president. the supreme court does.
