Here's the direct quote, as translated by the Washington Post.
"First, the sincerity of intentions for the fighting should be for the sake of Allah only, no other, and not for the victory of national minorities or for the aid of the infidel regimes in all Arab countries, including Iraq."
You can see the rest of the speech here. Joe Conason, updating his Blog today, commented that this message might be for the West as much as the Middle East. Bin Ladin wants war, knowing as he does that he might be able to use it to rally troops against the West. So that's comforting.
