That’s why he wanted to crash airplanes – to wipe out their carbon footprint.

Osama bin Laden’s going green!

CAIRO — Osama bin Laden sought to draw a wider public into his fight against the United States in a new message Friday, dropping his usual talk of religion and holy war and focusing instead on an unexpected topic: global warming.

Interjection: there’s a distinction between “religion and holy war” and “global warming?”

Huh. How can you tell?

The al-Qaida leader blamed the United States and other industrialized nations for climate change and said the only way to prevent disaster was to break the American economy, calling on the world to boycott U.S. goods and stop using the dollar.

I’m sticking to my previous position on bin Laden: he’s dead. If he wasn’t, we’d have far more obvious proof than an audio tape aired on al Jazeera.

That said, his next tape should order all jihadists to surrender immediately and live out their lives in peaceful co-existence. It’s the only way to keep our tanks and warplanes from spewing ever-greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the sky.

Via Memeorandum.
