Terrorist monetary policy
It seems that everyone, including fugitive terrorist masterminds, wants a place at the table in Davos.
According to the WSJ, Osama bin Laden has added his voice to the mix by releasing a statement that’s clearly intended to coincide with the WEF gathering.
In an audio tape sent today to Al Jazeera Television, bin Laden urges his minions to move away from the Dollar and to “get rid of this currency as early as possible.” According to the WSJ, Bin Laden also blames the west for global warming.
In a snarky aside, the WSJ points out that bin Laden’s rant was similar in theme to the WEF talk given by French President Nicholas Sarkozy two days ago.
