Recently on CNN there was an article about a new Osama Bin Laden tape in which he talks about the goal of Al-Qaeda being the bankrupting of America. You can READ IT HERE (DIGG it here).

This is a VERY interesting article to anyone who is truly following the Campaigns for President.

Excerpt:
""We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript.

He said the mujahedeen fighters did the same thing to the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, "using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers."

"We, alongside the mujahedeen, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat," bin Laden said...

...U.S. intelligence officials Monday confirmed that the transcript made public Monday by Al-Jazeera was a complete one.

As part of the "bleed-until-bankruptcy plan," bin Laden cited a British estimate that it cost al Qaeda about $500,000 to carry out the attacks of September 11, 2001, an amount that he said paled in comparison with the costs incurred by the United States...

...U.S. government officials said Friday that the tape appeared to be authentic and recently made. It was the first videotaped message from the al Qaeda leader in nearly three years."

So, it is the stated goal of Osama Bin Laden to Bankrupt America and according to a British document, for every $1 that Osama spent to attack us it cost us $1million. Let's do some math here. That means that a $500k "investment" if you will by Osama and Al-Qaeda has COST The USA $500 BILLION.

That's a lot of cash, and where does that money come from? Well we are borrowing money from China to finance our illegal War in Iraq.

According to the same article that I linked to above:

"The total U.S. national debt is more than $7 trillion. The U.S. federal deficit was $413 billion in 2004, according to the Treasury Department."

$7 TRILLION!!!! Where are we going to get that money? The dollar is failing everyone. Just take a look at this:

1.00 USD	=	0.993850 CAD
United States Dollars		Canada Dollars
1 USD = 0.993850 CAD		1 CAD = 1.00619 USD

As you can see, our dollar is worth LESS than the Canadian Dollar, not much less, but it used to be worth more.

Do you know what the value of our dollar is today compared to the value of the dollar in 1913? Well, it would take approximateley $20.18 to purchase in 2006 what it took $1 to purchase in 1913. WHY? because the Federal Reserve just prints more money when they need it and there is nothing to back the money. Our money today is no better than Monopoly money!! It is worthless. Another site claims that the dollar has lost 95% of its value. I believe it! If we were to go look it up to be sure, which I am not doing right now, I am sure these numbers are at least fairly accurate. If someone wants to go look it up, feel free.

Long post, I know! But, Of the candidates, Ron Paul is the one that is continually talking about Economic Policy, Foreign Policy, etc. and he has said on numerous occasions that the dollar is failing and that the USA is going Bankrupt. Yup, THAT is how this relates to Osama Bin Laden. Osama's goal is to Bankrupt the USA, and that is what is happening! Candidates like McCain, Romney and Huckabee, will continue the massive overseas spending and continue fighting the Iraq war. More of our young soldiers will be killed and our dollar will continue to get weaker and weaker.

Way back in 2001, President Bush said:

"The object of terrorism is to try to force us to change our way of life, is to force us to retreat, is to force us to be what we're not. And that's -- they're going to fail. They're simply going to fail. I want to assure my fellow Americans that our determination -- I say "our," I'm talking about Republicans and Democrats here in Washington -- has never been stronger to succeed in bringing terrorists to justice, protecting our homeland. Because what we do today will affect our children and grandchildren. This is our calling. This is the time for us to act in a bold way, and we are doing just that." (whitehouse.gov)

This is a complete and total LIE. Our way of life did change. We were slapped in the face with H.R. 3162 (The USA Patriot act), which is a complete and total nightmare. We have been slapped in the face a second time with The Departmenet of Homeland Security, and now we have to go through some ridiculous gestapo-like checkpoints and be searched just to take a flight across country. They are trying to implement REAL ID which is nothing more than a complete destruction of our Right to Privacy as shown in Articles I, III, IV and IX of the Constitution of the United States and laid out for easy viewing HERE!

The FACTS tell the tale of what is REALLY happening

1) Attacked
2) Way of life CHANGED despite President Bush saying that it would not
3) Ridiculous Laws implemented
4) Dollar is failing

Listen to Dr. Paul from 3:40-5:25 for a glimpse into what I have written above:

The other candidates are committed to winning the war in Iraq at any cost. They do not care about the citizens of this great country. They are committed to spending your, my and our children's childrens money to win in Iraq, and the whole time we will not catch Osama Bin Laden, because as long as he is out there "planning another attack" and "hating us for our freedom" and being an "Islamic Extremist", these evil bastards (McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Clinton and Obama) will continue to destroy the United States of America.

You may think I am a kook, you may think I am crazy, but it is not hard at all to see what is happening if you just open your eyes and do even a modicum of research.

If you love your Country, if you love your Freedom, Vote for Dr. Ron Paul. He is truly the best man for the job and the man that will bring The USA back to what it should be. Small Government, States Rights, Personal rights and a prosperous economy.
