This was posted on tracking terrorism, it's not MSM but it's the only site I found that actually has this posted. It was originally posted on Jihad Unspun and they give a disclaimer. This is why I put it in the editorial section. First is the disclaimer and then the translation.

Part 1 of Osama's Latest Audio Tape - Human Translation

(Disclaimer)

We are pleased to present Part 1 of the latest statement of Sheikh Osama bin Laden addressing the rulers of Saudi Arabia as released on the internet December 16, 2004, uncut and uncensored. This audio tape is a lengthy address running well over an hour so we are releasing its content in a four part series in order that the translators can have adequate time to do their work in a professional manner and you our viewers are able to access this message as quickly as possible. InshaAllah Part 2 will be available here tomorrow.

You may circulate this address widely but we ask you to please respect our copyright and accredited the work of JUS and our translation team who work for the love of Allah and have gone to great effort to bring this to you, uncut and uncensored.

We further remind our viewers that that the statements, opinions and points of view expressed in this article are those of the author and shall not be deemed to mean that they are necessarily those of Jihad Unspun, the publisher, editor, writers, contributors or staff.

(Translation)

Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds, and prayer and peace be upon our prophet, Muhammad, his household and his companions.

This is a message to the Muslims in the land of the two holy Mosques, in particular, and to all Muslims everywhere else, in general.

This message is meant to address the causes and the way to resolve the conflict between the rulers of Riyadh and the people of that land.

Much has been said about the need for security and safety and the need to spare Muslim blood in the land of the two holy Mosques. Much has also been said about the importance of togetherness and unity and the danger of polarization and internal fighting. The ruling body (the rulers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) claimed that the Mujahideen are the ones responsible for the deteriorated state of affairs in that country. But the plain truth is, the responsibility falls on the shoulder of the rulers. The rulers have abandoned the conditions of attaining security, promoting unity, and sparing bloodshed. The rulers have disobeyed Allah and committed the kind of major sin that has subjected the country to the wrath of Allah, and Allah has told us (in The Holy Qura’an) stories of the wrong doers and their punishment so that we may take notice.

(The rest is here)
