That late-2001 OBL video is a fake

Splinx — 11/14/2002 3:10:10 PM (archived)

The video from which OBL's purported words were taken (and posted by you, above) has been widely judged to be a fake.

Side by side comparison of known photos and a shot from the video shows that the guy on the video is most certainly not OBL.
