Bin Laden Mimics MoveOn.org?

If remarks attributed to Osama bin Laden yesterday sounded familiar, there may be a reason.

At least one political wag has noticed that certain rhetorical flourishes in the terrorist's tirade bore an eerie resemblance to the political attacks launched by the Democratic propagandameisters at MoveOn.org.

Notes OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto, the latest bin Laden outburst "shows a command of Democratic talking points - Halliburton is evil; the president is a 'liar' who commands a 'gang'," etc.

The only thing bin Laden seems to have missed is Ted Kennedy's blast that Iraq has become George Bush's Vietnam.

Then again, perhaps he simply didn't want to recycle the Kennedy barb so soon, since terrorist cleric Muqtada al Sadr used it just last week.
