This story is actually pretty funny - actually, I guess it isn't very funny if you are Vice President Joe Biden but to hear the former top dog of all islamic terror in the world say that he wants to assassinate the President of the U.S.A. because the VP, Biden, is so incompetent that America would fall apart, is pretty damn funny.
The report, from DAWN, also states that bin Laden wanted General David Petraeus taken out as well.
Here's some of the story:
Before his death, al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had ordered his followers in Afghanistan and Pakistan to attack the aircraft of President Barack Obama, the Washington Post reported Friday.
The report, which cited documents seized at the Pakistan compound where bin Laden was killed by US forces, said the al Qaeda leader also sought to kill General David Petraeus, who then headed international forces in Afghanistan.
Bin Laden wanted to kill the US president because “Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make Vice President Joe Biden take over the presidency,” according to a document purported to come from the compound.
“Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour, and killing him would alter the war’s path in Afghanistan.”
The scheme was described in one of the documents taken from bin Laden’s compound by US forces on May 2, 2011, the night he was killed, and made available to Washington Post opinion writer David Ignatius.
The other funny part of this story is when you read between the lines or more specifically, when you look at what isn't there - bin Laden wanted Biden in charge for the above stated reasons but bin Laden said nothing about squashing the effectiveness of Obama...he purely states that Obama is a figurehead whose removal would get them a total incompetent in charge in America.
Now, the irony of all of this is that Obama chose Biden for Vice President for one reason and one reason only - the supposed expertise Biden had in foreign affairs and defense...and here we have the most famous terrorist in world history stating that they WANTED Biden in charge. Nice choice of VP there Barry.
Bin Laden wanted to attack Obama directly: report
WASHINGTON: Before his death, al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had ordered his followers in Afghanistan and Pakistan to attack the aircraft of President Barack Obama, the Washington Post reported Friday.
The report, which cited documents seized at the Pakistan compound where bin Laden was killed by US forces, said the al Qaeda leader also sought to kill General David Petraeus, who then headed international forces in Afghanistan.
Bin Laden wanted to kill the US president because “Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make Vice President Joe Biden take over the presidency,” according to a document purported to come from the compound.
“Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour, and killing him would alter the war’s path in Afghanistan.”
The scheme was described in one of the documents taken from bin Laden’s compound by US forces on May 2, 2011, the night he was killed, and made available to Washington Post opinion writer David Ignatius.
“They have been declassified and will be available soon to the public in their original Arabic texts and translations,” Ignatius wrote.
The documents said bin Laden hoped the attacks on Obama and Petraeus would be carried out Pakistani militant Ilyas Kashmiri, who is believed to have been killed in a US drone attack last June.
The report said US analysts see little possibility that the plots could have been carried out.
