Another OBL Message Coming Soon
A new Osama bin Laden message from al Qaeda’s as-Sahab Institute for Media Production is to be released soon, according to IntelCenter, a private contractor providing counterterrorism support work to the intelligence community. In his message, bin Laden will reportedly address events in Gaza and Lebanon. This message has been expected and is consistent with new efforts in 2006 by al Qaeda’s senior leadership to be responsive in their messages to current developments.

::Yawn:: Just another example of OBL whining up from whatever snake hole he hides in to say, “Hey guys…don’t forget about me! C’mon…I’m not getting enough attention!” Must be pretty lonely not being able to show your face in public. As far as I am concerned, his neutralization is just as good as a life sentence. However….one day…we will nail him!

OBL should save his so-called messages for his therapist. He’s one messed up individual who seems to attract similarly messed up losers to his “crusade”. Whatta jerk. If he can’t say anything nice, he should try not saying anything at all. Better yet, he should tell his followers to go home, take showers, and find real jobs.

why is it that they never link to these so-called terrorist web sites? are these make believe web sites or what?

If they are talking about it before it even gets released, there should be serious concern about the timing and possible event. Now is the perfect time for AQ to execute on any plan they may have prepared. If his goal is to ignite the Islamic world, with Israel’s advance into Lebanon, a strike from Bin Laden and the events that would follow would surely start a regional war including whatever country is struck and its allies. We should have serious concern. Nostradamus predicted a destructive event for NYC in August, and he has been off on the years. I feel like this year is a high likelihood with Iran posting Aug 22 as the date it will respond to the UN. I believe Iran will respond with a nuclear test or a strike. Israel will respond to any destructive attack on it, with nuclear. This will change the scenario completely, send Pakistan into revolution, and send us towards WW3 a few years after a preliminary smaller war with Iran. Tough times ahead folks.

Maybe his message will voice for support for Hezbollah despite Zarqawi’s outspoken antithesis of the group.
Also interesting that Saddam Hussein just relelased a message to the American people.
Posted by: Mark | July 21, 2006, 11:47 am 11:47 am
Oh my god…Someone still believes that these messages are from bin Laden..Give it up..Bin Laden is dead from kidney failure three years ago.(reported from pakistan and fox).I have had enough lying from media ..Wonder how much abc and other media is getting for printing this..I really thought, when orange alert swarm, swarm everytime bush wanted his polls to rise was proven false this crap would stop..I guess they think most of us are dumb..Well we are not..

What websites are advertising that a message is comming?
Why is it that these websites are never named so that independant confirmation can be exercised.
Seems to me that OBL “appearances” are too convenient for those who wish to continue the US presence in the Middle East

ABC please do your own research and stop trying to scare the hell out of people with a dead guy. You know he’s dead, so does Bush.
Stop dragging OBL out of the closet every time you need a boogie man to shill for more war. Or go fight it your damn selves…my family is tired of the misuse of our military.
News for the Media:
The Central Intelligence Agency has closed a unit that for a decade had the mission of hunting Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants, intelligence officials confirmed Monday. The unit, known as Alec Station, was disbanded late last year and its analysts reassigned within the C.I.A. Counterterrorist Center, the officials said. [New York Times 07/03/06]
Israel does not view bin Laden as a threat. [Janes]
Israeli sources said Israel and the United States assess that Bin Laden probably died in the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan in December. They said the emergence of new messages by Bin Laden are probably fabrications, Middle East Newsline reported. [World Tribune]
Notice how you always refer to OBL tapes as “alleged to be” I’m not laughing anymore, the ruse is over-no wonder your numbers are down…we tire of the myth you perpetrate.
Posted by: CaptainAmerica | July 21, 2006, 12:15 pm 12:15 pm
If you want to get an overview of the war in the middle east and where it is going, read Genesis chapter 10, and the map of an NIV bible with an overlay of today’s names of contris. Then read Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39 slowly. Then read the Drudge Report on the web with links to current events.
At least George Bush doesn’t live in a hole in the ground as do Osma, Saddam, and and the leader in south Lebanon.

IntelCenter should be throughly investigated. My guess is they have some nefarious ties to the propaganda operations coming out of the Pentagon.
As for Brian Ross, he works for a network that has been described as a CIA disinformation outlet. This man should also be thoroughly investigated.
As for all of my fellow Americans who believe that these tapes are authentic, you’re being lied to.

Why not show a video? Because maybe, just maybe he is not around anymore. It is not difficult to fake a voice. If he were alive, videos out the wazzoo would be coming out used for propaganda. Of course the media never talks about that. That’s not in their template.

If NSA can vacuum everything, what’s the problem with:
A. Tracking the origin of the message;
B. Determining, before the hostilities broke out, what was going on with “external support” for Hezbollah?
I’m walking away with two adverse conclusions:
1. The NSA has no information about Iranian-Syrian direct support of Hezbollah, as the President has not mentioned this; rather, he simply pointed to what Syria (paraphrasing) “might” do to put pressure on Hezbollah; and
2. We’re not getting a straight story why (apparently) Bin Laden is able to communicate, but nobody seems to be able to find how his words first enter the internet. Either he’s alive and exists in physical space; or he is a ruse. The lack of a trace casts doubts about the excuses for failing to find him.

It’s sickening how cheerfully the media announce another OBL message. Can you imagine the media announcing another Hitler message back in the 1940′s?

Why don’t we just print in news that Bin Laden is dead (Which he really is) and see what happens. Terroist groups would fall apart and even the economy would get better. Just try it, there’s nothing to lose…

Dead or alive,… my bet is one of his sons or relatives is reading his material and at this time the Taliban and Al Queda are still looking for physical imposter to propagate the myth that Osama is invincible.

This message is a response to Markos. Read the scripture, not Nostradomus. WWIII is far from happening as so many are predicting now. Israel will go into Lebanon to get rid of the terrorists, and Lebanon will fight along side those terrorists and be eliminated themselves. If Syria goes into Lebanon, then Israel will go into Damascus and for a second time, the Baath Party will be eliminated. Iran does not have the capability to launch a missile at NYC, nor does it intend to do so because of the consequences. UBL is the past and is in hidding. Pakistan will not fall as you have predicted because India won’t let it. Nostradamus has been wrong in the past as he recently predicted a devastistating Earhquake in So. Cal. which never materialized, among other things. He also predicted that Spain would win the World Cup this year, and look what happened. Quit predicting doom and try to be happy.

At the top of your article it reads “from our sources”, I guess that says it all and once again reinforces your support for Islamic fascists and the demise of this great country. Why don’t you guys run an article on the greatness of America (USA for those of you who now believe you are part of the America’s) or a story about great Americans once in a while rather than portray US as being fat, uneducated, gluttons who are confused and easily intimidated by the rest of the world. I am at the point where I am listening to the radio rather than ingest another moment of your ABC television crap. It was only by mistake I came across this pathetic article.

The best part about these radical Muslims is that hate Americans, and if you ask them why they don’t even know why, it is something they are taught from birth, and do not know any better. Just like people born to parents who belong to racist organizations.
If you would ask these people why they hate they just give you the program answer they have been taught to say since they could walk and talk.
So how do you compromise or negotiate with igronant people who cannot even give you a thought of there own why they hate.

Bin Laden is dead or never even existed. It is a ploy by our government to try to recreate the patriotism and ‘rallying behind your president’ that was experienced after 9/11 (which is a whole other government conspiracy in itself).

When is the USA going to stop asking why these fanatics hate us so much, and realize that they really do, that it is a religious war, and that we need to claim our belief that it is and fight it as such. Yes it is World War III, and the most important war we will ever fight! This is not Bush’s war, this is the a war to determine if the free world will continue to exist, or whether the Muslim religion will crush freedom as we know it. People want to put nation boundaries on our enemies. Our enemies know no boundaries, go where they need to go, do whatever they have to do to spread terror and win over our weak resolve. We have been too fat and happy for too long. Now we can “pinch ourselves and squeal, and know that it’s for real” and realize the ship is arriving at our shores!

I just read all of your comments and I agree with about 90% of them. Bin Laden is without a shred of doubt in my mind, DEAD. Why was his modus operandi always a video taped message prior to the bombings in Tora Bora in December of 2001 (where we have confirmed he was hiding), and yet ever since then his messages are always audio tape? Don’t you wonder that question yourself, naysayers?
It’s a hell of a lot easier to impersonate someone on audio tape than it is to do so on video.
Fact is, ABC and the rest of the mainstream media are just a tool that the terrorists love to exploit. ABC does not care about America. All they care about is making the United States look bad. They are part of the Blame-America-First crowd. Anytime there is any problem in the world, their first and only reaction is to blame America first.
This is an independent writing this. I’m no republican nor democrat. I just hate the media and their dispicable agenda.

[example from posts here: "What's to fear from a scrawny spoiled cowering chicken of a man who hasn't even the courage or ingenuity to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he exists, If he still exists..."]
FACT: The Bush administration itself has authenticated every single OBL tape!
Now THAT’S some successful brainwashing.
OBL officially declared WAR on the United States of America in 1998. George W. Bush arrogantly promised the world publicly that he would get him dead or alive and has failed miserably.
And y’all think OBL is the one with no credibility?
I sure wish that was the view of the world outside of Bushville. Then maybe I wouldn’t feel quite so humiliated by the incompetent cowboy who’s been in charge since 9/11.

While in Europe, I viewed a US-produced documentary called bin Laden’s Escape that showed how the US lost bin Laden, and posited he is actually holed up in Mecca, and that is why no one can touch him.

Why so many “who cares” responses?
Isn’t this the guy who is supposed to be responsible for that tragedy of tragedies– 9/11? So now we just forget about that?
As far as whether he is dead or not– it has been reported a few times, but never fully verified. My bet is that he is dead and that someone is impersonating him. He’s a great source of propaganda.
But the more he speaks, it leaves that glaring question: why hasn’t the US nailed him yet? it’s been five years since 9/11. Since when do we forgive mass murderers?

To those who doubt there are terrorist websites, indeed they exist. I’ve been to several that I’ve gotten word of and actually downloaded videos of pleadings and at least two beheadings on one.
I strongly agree that it’s sad the media doesn’t give out current websites. Most don’t last but a few weeks. If the media gave this information, it would cause these sites to overload as so many people would enjoy overloading and hacking such sites. If this were the rule of thumb, this method of dissemination would likely cease to exist.

Alas, his missives are not aimed at the whitebread crowd responding here. His message does resonate at the target audience.
We should all pause considering that it was OBL who got George Bush elected to his second term, with his well timed audio six days before election day exhorting that Americans do NOT vote for George Bush.
Me thinks he knows reverse psychology. If not for OBL we would have a Kerry White House today. The polls prove it.

I can tell you Bin Laden is a
type-1, insulin-dependent diabetic
and that means Humalog or Novalog
kept pretty cool at all times.
Only 10% of all diabetics are type
one, and it is much harder to
manage that type-2 because of the
need for fresh insulin 18 hours
per day. (My wife is has it, so
I feel like an expert just from
having “run interference” for her
inn this area. I really do NOT
see how the heck they do his
dialysis, either. Not very
frequently reported is that
EXTRA malady, brought about by
his diabetes. So a rational
person has to wonder why he
would still be alive. And yet
I think he is (gut instincts;
I read voraciously about the
Middle East; Political Science
major, et. al). Generally, I
am one of those “glass is half
FULL types”. But I am haunted
by a feeling that something
devastating (as in nuclear) is
on the way. The U.S. government
knows more about black-market
portable “suitcase” nukes from
disgruntled Russian military
personnel (unpaid for months and
months and months…but with
hungry mouths to feed anyway)
than it tells us. Czechnian
rebels reportedly had some on
the market for the highest
bidder a couple of years back
and guess who (reportedly)
bought them? Bin Laden.
My best prediction—an absolute
catastrophe coming soon for the
U.S., probably on own soil.
This time it will NOT involve
jet airliners. Real mini nukes
or dirty bombs featuring spent
nuclear fuel rods (very easy to
obtain…child’s work…) or
university / hospital research
waste, etc. Disperse it with
a conventional bomb all over a
downtown municipal area and you
can pretty much just rope-off
all those blocks for a l-o-n-g
time.

Man you people believe some weird stuff. Nostradamus? OBL is already dead? Cool the mystic/conspiracy theory talk. You confuse the issue. And don’t rely on one or two news source for anything. I’ve worked in the media and I’m hear to tell you no one cares if what they report is accurate or not. They are more concerned with saying what their typical listeners/watchers want to hear.

Ole Bin Laden is a frustrated whimpy coward just like the ole Hezbollah boys. These terrorists talk a strong game, but they don’t have the guts to come out in the open and do something. They live in caves, they treat women like dirt, they sneak around like theives…are we to fear people like that? Hell no! To most of us Americans they are a big joke. I tell you what though: Just like that nut job in North Korea, we shouldn’t deal with these people. They just need a good old fashioned ass kicking. These guys are all curious about nuclear weapons…let’s show them what they can do. I’d rather drop a nuke on these fellas than jeapordise one American soldier. Hey Bin Laden…you’re a joke.

Osama bin Laden is dead and has been. He died in a US hospital in Dubai shortly after meeting with 2 CIA agents. Don’t be stupid guys, the war on terror is a fraud, and a dead guy is the perfect tool. If nobody can find him (BECAUSE HE IS DEAD) then we can continue this never ending war forever. Steal or wealth and our liberty, all because some dead idiot that other idiots think is hiding in a cave “hates our freedom”. Wake up America, before it is too late. Let us take back our country, and let us start right now!

I would love to know why sites like ABC NEWS (and just about every other media site) offers these forums.
What value is offered?
You read page after page of ignorant people showing their ignorance, and frequently it’s simply regurgitated nonsense that the poster has absorbed from fringe media.
To make this post, I wasn’t even required to enter a verified email address (I made one up). Moreover, I suffered no delay between reading the article (and other comments) and actually posting. Which means that anybody who has a stupid knee-jerk reaction to something they read can be posting their “commentary” on it within a minute.
Perhaps at least if an email-verified account with ABC News were required first (maybe even with a day’s delay before being authorized to post), you would discourage such garbage postings.
My posting is apparently the 48th post, and the story was released only a couple of hours ago. Perhaps if there were less garbage postings, people who feel that what they have to say is important enough to jump through a few hoops would be encouraged to be a little more insightful.
Kudos to anyone who actually stomached the earlier posts and still made it to this one.

Posted by: mj | July 21, 2006, 4:06 pm 4:06 pm
The deal is, we have lived on. Bin Laden thought he would destroy the WTC’s, the White House, The Pentagon, and our country. Look what happened – he did NOTHING. Our resolve cannot be defeated, because we don’t live to kill and destroy. We live to create, to learn, to explore, to love, and to help humanity – no matter what happens, and no matter what people say about America or Geroge Bush, when we have to fight, we fight with honor and dignity, and we do our best. I’m so proud to be an American and I’m so glad our country has fought on and shown the rest of the world that living freely is best for all of humanity.

This news causes me wonder if “IntelCenter, a private contractor providing counterterrorism support work to the intelligence community” is under contract to the Bush Administration, with Karl Rove being the contract contact. These Bin Laden video and other tapes seem to always show up when the “war on terrorism” needs a surge to keep the fear factor in front of the American public–there is an election coming in a short 3+ months.

The strategy is fear. Your government still thinks they can control what you believe by broadcasting the boogabooga. The far side of fear is apathy which has been achieved in a portion of the population. In many ways the outrage is spilling over but you will never see it on ABC. What if there really is a GOD? When you stand in His light at the end, how will you be judged? Speak loudly for the victims, remember He gave you free will.

Osama Bin Who? The name sounds slightly familiar…perhaps it is a “has been” that occupied a brief moment of my attention span. I question why so many are still obsessed with the capture and comments of this individual. Furthermore, is his existence still relevant? We have men and women in our armed services risking their lives everyday for us and all we care about is a so called “message” of one man? Get a grip…focus on the real issues…remember that welfare of the soldiers willing to lay down their lives for you is what the main concern should be!

He hasn’t produced anything that is proof that he’s alive and well, yet the major “news” media in this country still keep posting his messages. Every jackass on the run in the past century has posted photos or videos with a current newspaper to prove they’re alive but binLaden hasn’t. He’s dead and gone. RIP.

I’m with Joseph Vanalini (posted 7/21/06, 2:50:57pm) on this…
You Bush-haters are blinded by your passion for the man!
Do some research (not just reading the news articles). Focus on the geographical — not merely distribution of natural resources such as oil, but more comprehensive economic factors (infrastructure, transit, other raw materials, agriculture, labor wages, labor pool with regard to level and quality of education, regions’ development plans, etc.) Also research and consider the political structure/function of these other countries. Pay attention and CARE and ACT about the torture and the genocides. Investigate and think about the foreign policies of other world powers. Give thought to the need for allies. Give thought to population factors — for example that China is faced with an increasing lopsidedness in their populace of old (not working and needing more services/resources) to young (less people to pay for the needed resources of the old), and then that China may face a sudden influx of refugees from North Korea if we make a strike…Do you get it? Do you at least see that there is a much broader picture to world affairs — and that USA knows, cares, considers, etc.? It is silly to assume “oil lust” is the reason that everything in this world happens! And when you consider all of these things, consider also that there will be some intelligence neither you nor I have access to — and we shouldn’t! We are fortunate to have soooo many rights in this country, but “the right to know” is not one of them. (Shame on you journalists and media outlets that leak our intelligence-gathering methods on terrorists for mere ratings!!!!!! )
People are oversimplifying, at best, the issue(s) of war, and media outlets dumb down their reports — that’s giving them benefit of the doubt they aren’t just ignorant too!

One of my favorite movies is Conspiracy Theory. It is smart and funny and fun that in the end the paranoid Mel Gibson was right and telling the truth as best he could.
This isn’t the movies though. I actually laughed when I saw someone’s post saying that the war on terror and the OBL videos are an elaborate conspiracy to raise Bush’s approval ratings.
Please, Bush is a lot of things, but a coward (to terrorism or polls) is not one of them!

My Fellow Americans
We have been duped. watch the BBC documentary on video google “the power of nightmares”
Who is Bin Laden? note that our own FBI’s website lists him as ‘wanted’ but DOES NOT CHARGE HIM WITH 9/11 ATTACKS
WTF? FBI admits that there’s
“no hard evidence to connect Bin Laden to 9/11?” – yet we went to war over this ‘terror’ nightmare?
LooseChange shows that the purported Bin Laden video of Dec 01 shows a fake, fat, right-handed imposter Bin Laden. not teh same guy.
And our trillion dollar military can’t locate him? Please. Who writes this stuff?
wake up. If Bin Laden does in fact exist, he has been magnified into a modern day Bogeyman. a fairy tale creature from hell.
When they say ‘OBL’ on the news, we feel fear, and don’t even bother to question the basic facts.
well, do your own research. look it up. you’ll find that bin laden is 95% myth. like zarqawi, manufactured ‘master terrorists’ designed to put fear into the hearts of grown-up children..

9/11 Was an Inside Job, and it’s so disturbing that such a large number of Americans simply don’t care. Because caring simply requires too much effort???

Divide And Conquer. Possibly the oldest military strategy in the book. Look around. Make no mistake that we are very much a country divided. Whoever is pulling the strings, it’s working; and we’re all blindly helping it along its merry way. Unless we stop, shut up and open our eyes to what we’re allowing to happen, the ride will not stop and we won’t be able to get off. Fact: People died and families were destroyed on 911. Fact: Brave men and women died and will likely continue to die in Iraq. Fact: Red State or Blue, we’re one country and need to remember that soon or we will surely lose. You may be laboring under the opinion that Bush dons a robe, throws runes and grooves on Scooby-Doo. Whatever. It’s your right to have an opinion, but he’s the current Commander-In-Chief, so get over it. There’s a war on and it’s high time we stand behind our troops. I didn’t say you need to send W. a Candygram. I didn’t say you need to agree with our reason to fight. We’re in it up to our eyeballs now regardless, so it’s time to stand behind those who volunteer to put down their lives for this country. We’ll stand a better chance of seeing more of them come home alive if we do. Maybe we’ll live to see an end to this completely. As for mainstream media, I agree that they need to spend much less time trying to undermine this wartime administration. This irresponsible journalism, in my opinion, has escalated to the point of being treasonous and is most certainly doing more to perpetuate damaging propaganda in the U.S.A. than the enemy could ever hope to.

OBL was reported dead by several news agencies — none in the US or UK, of course. So if a person believes an international media outlet is more credible than our own corporate media, somehow that makes them a conspiracy “theorist?”
Why is it SO unbelieveable that an old man who has kidney problems and is reportedly “on the run,” actually *died* from his physical condition?
Also, of the comments from those convinced that OBL is dead, I haven’t seen ANY theories presented. So how could one surmise that the commentator believes in some kind of “crazy conspiracy theory?”
I suppose the name-callers actually believe everything the corporate media tells them. Now THAT’S someone who need to wear a hat made of foil. In this way, the rest of us will be able to identify the brain dead among us, without having to take the trouble to enter into a conversation first.
(kinda like Bill’s “Here’s your sign.”)
Even if OBL is alive, and it is the press in other countries who have their facts wrong, it doesn’t really matter, because we aren’t even looking for him anymore. The agency responsible for finding him closed last year. And our “trusted” media waited a FULL YEAR to bother telling us. (just like the NSA spying story, among others) Perhaps they quit looking for him because the FBI doesn’t believe there is enough evidence to even ACCUSE OBL of orchestrating the attacks on 09/01/01.
There is no reason to propose any theories about why we have so much propaganda and, in some cases, outright lies by our own government. There is, however, EVERY REASON in the world to continue asking the right questions, and demanding answers.
Brian Ross does a much better job than most in the corporate press. He is, in fact, one of the few in the corporate media who can rightly be called an investigative journalist. Thanks, Brian, but there are still TOO MANY questions that are NOT being asked by you or anyone in the corporate media. This is why critical thinkers turn to the independent media and the foreign press, and the corporations continue to lose subscribers/viewers/readers.
Those of us who care are NOT satisfied with the coverage. The rest are so brainwashed that they would believe two plus two really does equal five.
Repeat a lie often enough, and the masses will believe it to be the truth.

response to Pal
I opposed the Iraq war from the beginning and still oppose it for the same reasons. The information coming from the White House was not plausible.Why am I talking about Iraq instead of the message Bin Laden is about to give? Recent escalation of violence in Iraq keeps us there until the goverment of Iraq can take control.This means your theory of the war machine is mute.No matter what Bin Laden says we are stuck in Iraq until someone can weed out the elected members of the Iraqi parliament that is working with the militias,insurgents and terrorist.We are in virtually a no win situation there, if we pull out now Iraq escalates into a full blown civil war and is suspectible to an invansion from another country.The middle east is a mess and has been for over 2000 years. We have by invading Iraq only made it worse.Our policy has always been to back Israel even when they use excessive means as in now.If you want peace in the Middle east, nuke the whole region.I’m sure you would agree with that.I am being sarcastic.

Bafflegab, we don’t believe in the fraudulent “War” on Terror anymore than we believed in the graft-ridden “War” on (some) Drugs. It’s a scam by the Halliburton vultures to loot the US Treasury while making a grab for Iraqi oil resources before Iran and China get their chance.
No one even bothers to parrot the fraudulent claims that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11 or WMD’s anymore, which leaves the USA with ZERO justification for unilaterally invading a country that posed ZERO military threat to the USA.
Whether OBL is dead or alive, or conspiring with Hezbollah or the CIA, has ZERO to do with the war crimes the USA has perpetrated in Iraq and the war profits the Cheney cabal has extorted from US citizens.

We need world leaders who can make history….not repeat history…. Leaders who will listen to the people who elected them. Sadly, the current world leaders have very poor “listening” skills. Too many big, big, big egos clamoring to be heard, clamoring to be RIGHT! DEAD RIGHT!
The only Americans who seem to have a real clue about world events today are between the ages of 13 and 25. These are the Americans who have been doing more “listening” than “talking” or should I say SHOUTING! They are America’s only hope. Why do you think MYSPACE is so popular? Why do you think the American Government has invaded MYSPACE? I seriously doubt child predators were lurking on MYSPACE….I think the American Government used the fear tactic to gain the public’s approval to have the one place young Americans could talk to each other in private invaded by BIG BROTHER. But these kids are smart….they will find another space on the Internet. Perhaps they will name it…..”ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE”

The guy convinces people to blow themselves up. He couldn’t get one of them to give him a kidney?
