How could you disappoint him so?

Osama bin Laden really wanted Americans to deal with climate change



Maybe this is why he crashed those jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It wasn't about jihad at all. He was just upset about all the carbon that burning jet fuel was putting into the air. See? You misunderstood him. He just cares about the environment, and oh, by the way, he was really hoping you would help Obama to put his climate change agenda into action. But you disappointed him so:
Osama bin Laden wrote a letter calling on the American people to help President Barack Obama fight "catastrophic" climate change and "save humanity", in the latest evidence of his worries about environmental issues, newly released documents show The letter was among materials that were seized in the May 2, 2011, U.S. raid on bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan that killed the al Qaeda chief and which were released on Tuesday by the Obama administration. The undated, unsigned letter "to the American people," which U.S. intelligence officials attributed to bin Laden, appeared to have been written shortly after Obama began his first term in 2009, based on the letter's references to events. Bin Laden's preoccupation with climate change also emerged as a theme in the first tranche of documents from the raid that was declassified in May 2015, as well as in an audio recording released via the al Jazeera network in January 2010. In the rambling letter made public Tuesday, bin Laden blamed the 2007-8 U.S. financial crisis on corporate control of capital and corporate lobbyists, and the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He called on Americans to launch "a great revolution for freedom" to liberate the U.S. president from those influences. That would enable Obama to make "a rational decision to save humanity from the harmful gases that threaten its destiny," bin Laden continued.

Apparently bin Laden believed that Obama, if left to his own devices, would make a "rational" decision - at least as understood by Osama bin Laden. But those horrible capital and corporate lobbyists kept him from doing so, so bin Laden called on the American people to end the influence of the bad people and thus allow Obama to be what Obama would surely really want to be. Aha! Proof that Obama is little more than an Al Qaeda flunky? Well, there is the little matter of Obama approving bin Laden's death. And you can insist that was fine with bin Laden because it made him a martyr, but I have a sneaking suspicion that when bin Laden realized where he was going to end up, it wasn't so fine with him anymore. What we certainly can say, though, is that Obama's own policy instincts do appear to favor passivity toward terrorists, so it's no surprise bin Laden would have been happy to see him elected. And if it's really true that bin Laden had a sincere obsession/concern over climate change, well, I hope the global warmists are happy to know that the murder of more than 3,000 people was a supporter of their cause.
