In a 12 minutes address Osama bin Laden spoke to the American people on the eighth anniversary of 9/11:

Osama then said “our two Umma (meaning the America and the Muslim world) are both victims” of one aggressor, that is in his words, those “who control the White House, particularly the Israeli Lobby and the multinational corporations.” He endorsed two books for Americans to understand how these lobbies control the White House. “A book by a former CIA agent who apologized for his crimes as a mercenary and another book titled the Israel Lobby professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt.” He claimed that these two books “will give you the truth.”

Bin Laden praised US President Obama for having “admitted at last in his speech in Cairo, the existence of our people’s miseries.” He also praised “former President Carter’s statements about the Palestinians during his last visit in Gaza, and particularly his statements on Israel’s racism.”

Certainly we have no desire or ability to intrude massive forces into Iran or any other country to determine the outcome of domestic political issues. This is something that we have no intention of ever doing in another country. We’ve tried this once in Vietnam. It didn’t work, as you well know.

(Barack Obama Jimmy Carter)
