"NOW LOOK, CAN'T YOU HEAR WHAT WE SAY? ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT?

WE ARE GOING TO BLOW THE SHIT OUT OF YOU RIGHT? WE HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS FOR YEARS. WE HAVE GOT OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR SHAPESHIFTING-SATANIST NETWORK (YOU KNOW THEM AS "WORLD LEADERS") SUPPORTING THIS GENOCIDE, INCLUDING OUR CONTROLLERS, THE BRITISH, WHO DESPATCHED THEIR BIGGEST MILITARY FORCE SINCE THE FALKLANDS WAR TO THE TARGET REGION JUST A WEEK BEFORE THE "TERRORIST" ATTACKS ON NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON BECAUSE, LIKE US, THEY KNEW THE ATTACKS WERE COMING, BECAUSE, LIKE US, THEY WERE INVOLVED IN ORGANISING THEM.

SO, YOU HAVE A CHOICE, RIGHT?

IF YOU DON'T HAND OVER BIN LADEN WE ARE GOING TO BLOW THE SHIT OUT OF YOU, OK? YOUR MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, EVERYONE. AND IF YOU DO HAND HIM OVER WE WILL SAY THAT THIS IS STILL NOT ENOUGH BECAUSE THE TERRORIST NETWORK IS BIGGER THAN BIN LADEN AND WE'LL BLOW THE SHIT OUT OF YOU ANYWAY, MEN, WOMEN CHILDREN, EVERYONE WE CAN. UNDERSTAND?

SO, COME ON. WHICH WILL IT BE? DO YOU WANT YOUR MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN MASS MURDERED BY INTERNATIONAL STATE- SPONSORED TERRORISM FOR HANDING OVER BIN LADEN OR FOR NOT HANDING HIM OVER? REMEMBER, THIS IS A TIME FOR ACTION, NOT WORDS."

SIGNED, GEORGE W. BUSH, ON BEHALF OF DAD (WHO WROTE THIS FOR ME BECAUSE I FIND JOINED-UP WRITING QUITE A CHALLENGE) AND DICK, AND COLIN, AND ALL THOSE STRANGE MEN IN DARK HOODS AND CLOAKS, WHO LIKE SACRIFICING CHILDREN AND WHO I FIRST MET AT THAT NICE SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY.

BUSH REJECTS CLERICS' PROPOSAL

By Christopher Newton, The Associated Press

THE White House rejected a proposal by Islamic clerics today that Osama Bin Laden be allowed to leave Afghanistan voluntarily.

As President Bush prepared to address Congress, the Army's civilian leader said the military was bracing for ``sustained land combat operations.''

The clerics' suggestion that bin Laden be allowed to leave on his own volition ``does not meet America's requirements,'' said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. ``It's time for action and not words.''

Nine days after the suicide hijacking attacks that left more than an estimated 5,000 dead or missing in New York and Washington, Bush planned an evening address to Congress and the nation to unite Americans for a long battle.

Stocks fell sharply yet again on fears of adverse economic fallout. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan acknowledged that economic activity virtually ground to a halt after the September 11 terrorist attacks.

But he told a congressional panel that the country's long-term prospects remained strong.

``An enormous effort will be required on the part of many to cope with the human and physical destruction,'' Greenspan said in testimony to the Senate Banking Committee.

In his speech to Congress, set for 2am , Bush will make the case against No. 1 suspect Osama Bin Laden and his al-Qaida network, officials said.

With the speech in the Capitol taking place under exceptionally tight security, Fleischer said that Vice President Dick Cheney will not attend but will remain in a secret, secure location.

The decision is a recognition of ``the continuation of important government issues'' should terrorists strike again, Fleischer said.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair will attend, seated with first lady Laura Bush, Fleischer said.

In the Afghan capital of Kabul, Islamic clerics Thursday urged bin Laden to leave Afghanistan voluntarily, but set no deadline for him to decide, according to the news agency of the ruling Taliban militia.

The clerics said they are prepared to call for a holy war against the United States if U.S. troops attack Afghanistan in an attempt to capture him and members of his al-Qaida terrorist organization.

Conveying Bush's rejection, Fleischer said, ``This is about much more than any one man being allowed to leave - presumably from one safe harbor to another safe harbor, if what he's doing is voluntary.''

``The president has demanded that the key figures of the al-Qaida terrorist organization, including Osama bin Laden, be turned over to responsible authorities and that the Taliban close terrorist camps in Afghanistan. The United States stands behind those demands,'' Fleischer said.
