To be honest, I was afraid someone would mention this "explanation" 
which was given by the White House.
However, I don't understand it: why should there be a "coded 
instruction"??? I mean, Bin Laden's statements are not coded (depending 
if you consider the Arabic language to be a strange encryption ;-) and 
he's publicly saying "you will not be safe until the Palestinians feel 
safe and until you leave the country(ies) of the Muslims". Bush is 
saying exactly the same thing from his point of view "Bin Laden and Al 
Qaeda and all "terrorists" are not safe and we'll come after you". I 
mean, both parties are publicly saying they'll "get eachother". Imo 
there's no need for extra coded messages: all seems to be in it: 
mobilize and go for it. So imo claiming there might be coded messages in 
it, is a lame excuse. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not familiar 
with these "coded messages" so if something else is meant, pleas explain.
