Bin Laden letter: Kill Obama, leave ‘totally unprepared’ Biden alone

Osama bin Laden aimed to assassinate
President Barack Obama but directed fellow al-Qaida fighters to leave Vice
President Joe Biden alone, describing him as "totally unprepared" to take over
and predicting a "crisis" in America if that happened, according to a newly
declassified letter from the terrorist mastermind.
In the missive, part of a
trove of documents seized by Navy SEALs in the raid that killed bin Laden
one year ago, bin Laden asks for an update on a plan to kill Obama or Gen. David
Petraeus either in Pakistan or at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. (Obama made a
televised speech from Bagram during his surprise visit to the war-torn country
this week.)
Bin Laden detailed how he ordered one loyal
follower to "prepare two groups—one in Pakistan and the other in the Bagram area
of Afghanistan—with the mission of anticipating and spotting the visits of Obama
or Petraeus to Afghanistan or Pakistan to target the aircraft of either one of
them."
"They are not to target visits by US Vice
President Biden, Secretary of Defense Gates, Joint Chiefs of Staff (Chairman)
Mullen, or the Special Envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan Holbrook (sic). The
groups will remain on the lookout for Obama or Petraeus," the Saudi-born
extremist wrote.
"The reason for concentrating on them is
that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make
Biden take over the presidency for the remainder of the term, as it is the norm
over there. Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US
into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour in this last year of
the war, and killing him would alter the war's path. So please ask brother Ilyas
to send to me the steps he has taken into that work," bin Laden continued.
The Combating Terrorism Center at West
Point published a report analyzing the documents—as well as the documents
themselves, in the original Arabic and in English translations—on its official
website. In a note accompanying the letter, labeled "SOCOM-2012-0000019," the
center's analysts described it as "a long letter authored by Usama bin Ladin
after the death of Sheikh Sa'id (Mustafa Abu'l-Yazid) in late May 2010 and it is
addressed to "Shaykh Mahmud" (`Atiyya) who he designates as Sa'id's
successor."
The 17 declassified documents include
letters or draft letters, running 175 pages in Arabic and 197 in English. The
CTC notes that getting a full picture of bin Laden's plans, or of al-Qaida's
relationships, strategies and operations, is impossible to do from such a
limited sample. The documents, carefully declassified by the Obama
administration, reenforce some of the president's key messages, notably that
al-Qaida has been struggling as American and allied forces kill key operatives,
and as Muslims criticize the group for killing co-religionists.
I cant believe the audacity of these terrorists
