Bin Laden Doesn't Like----the Saudi Government

The AP reports
"Alleged Bin Laden Tape Criticizes Saudis"
. The new tape, though unconfirmed as Bin Laden, sounds familiar OBL themes.
The speaker, in calm and even tones, accused Saudi rulers of "violating God's rules," a common theme of bin Laden, who accuses Saudi rulers of being insufficiently Islamic and too close to the "infidel" United States.

"The sins the regime committed are great ... it practiced injustices against the people, violating their rights, humiliating their pride," the speaker said. He accused the Saudi royal family of misspending public money while "millions of people are suffering from poverty and deprivation."


His next tape will contain criticism of the thousands of "martyrs" he has inspired for being "too motivated by lust" in seeking the 72 virgins instead of keeping their thoughts pure...

Update: Bill Roggio has a more adult analysis here.
