  Borders - Feature - When You Ride Alone You Ride with bin Laden: What the Government Should be Telling Us to Help ...
An original 1943 wartime poster warned Americans, "When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler!" Oil was regarded as an essential weapon during World War II, and it is certainly no less so today.
I chose "ride alone" as the title of this book because it not only pays homage to a time when sacrifice was cool, but also warns us in a larger sense what happens when we ride alone.

 AZplace | When You Ride Alone You Ride With Bin Laden
At first glance, When You Ride ALONE, You Ride With Bin Laden struck me as a preachy spiel chastising Americans to pitch in and carpool together as our wartime (yes, the vague, non-specific "War on Terror) sacrifice for our nation.
I was surprised to discover that the title was a takeoff on a 1943 WWII poster created by a government state side campaign plea to urge Americans to conserve oil by participating in car sharing pools.

 USATODAY.com - Threats often precede al-Qaeda attacks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Amid growing evidence that one of the most threatening tapes yet by Osama bin Laden is authentic, U.S. officials and experts are warning Americans that the al-Qaeda leader often precedes his attacks with threats like those contained in Tuesday's audiotape.
Officials said they are also trying to determine whether bin Laden inserted cryptic messages into the recording that might order his operatives, in an estimated 60 countries, to launch a terrorist attack.

 Review - Book: When You Ride Alone You Ride With Bin Laden<   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
When You Ride Alone You Ride With Bin Laden refers to the fact that most Americans are being wasteful, undisciplined prima donnas in a time of war.
The book's title is an update of an old slogan - When You Ride Alone You Ride With Hitler - which reminded people that only one person in a car was a waste of gas, gas that the boys in the front lines needed.
When You Ride Alone You Ride With Bin Laden is quite a different project from what you'd expect Bill to do after getting canned by ABC last summer, but it's completely worthy of your time.

Most of the rides have to do with strapping you in and flinging you in a circle either sideways or up and down.

 Think Progress » Schieffer: Kerry and Bin Laden Expressed “Almost The Same” Sentiments
Bin Laden just loves the fact that right wing neocons are convincing it’s fellow americans that the “liberal left” or “Micheal Moore” or anyone that disagrees with them are really just like Bin Laden himself.
It was really nice of Bin Laden, considering how Bush is up against the ropes on the NSA Spying Scandal this week, to take the heat off him by giving the American people a glimpse of the boogey man after more than a year.
There is some oddity here in that if Bin Laden is truly the source, then it appears that the most damage the message will do, intended or not, is to the US left (by purposeful use of the same or similar terminology).

The Taliban, the Saudi royal family, and Bin Laden are followers of Wahhabism, a virulent, fundamentalist sect in Islam.
Sure, the 9/11 terrorist were religiously motivated to sacrifice their lives, but their targets (the centers of finance, military planning and probably of government) were political ones.
Similarly, while Bin Laden uses Islam as his rallying cry and justification, his goals are flagrantly political as evidenced by his statement that America would know security at home when the people of the Middle East knew security in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Palestine.

The most notable aspect of Osama bin Laden's weekend video—broadcast everywhere but here —is the absence of any mention of anthrax.
As in the past, Bin Laden pictures the world torn between the forces of the Western crusaders and Islam.
He approvingly mentions the September 11 attacks and describes in detail the different assaults by the West on various nations, dating the current crusade back to the end of World War I. But nowhere is there a mention of anthrax.
