Who Would Osama vote for?

Interestingly, neither Drudge nor most of the Western sources list the entire transcript, only excerpts. I found it here, at AlJazeera.net. Here are some interesting tidbits left out of the sanitized, Western versions:
All that we have mentioned has made it easy for us to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two Mujahideen to the furthest point East to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving for it anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies.
and
Rather, the policy of the White House that demands the opening of war fronts to keep busy their various corporations – whether they be working in the field of arms or oil or reconstruction – has helped al-Qaida to achieve these enormous results.[emphasis mine]
Many Bushies insist that Osama would vote for Kerry and this is touted as reason enough to support W. But here we see what a boon GWB has been to Al Qaeda and OBL. Or...maybe he's just playing a pychological con game. Either way, I think the real story here is not what Osama said but what we in the US didn't get to hear from him and why.
