Al Qaeda Announces New Bin Laden Video

Osama bin Laden will soon send a video message to America, according to a Web site regularly used by al Qaeda.  A posting late this afternoon said, "Soon, with the permission of God, a new visual tape, the Sheikh, the Lion, Osama bin Laden. May God protect him." Bin Laden has not been seen on a new video since October 2004. A still frame accompanying the announcement shows bin Laden with an all-black beard. In his 2004 appearance, his facial hair was predominantly gray.    Federal law enforcement authorities say that another Web site had posted a message on Sept. 2, promising "a special gift to be delivered on the blessed day of the invasion of Manhattan." But U.S. officials are skeptical the tape will show a new message from bin Laden. One said, "We will believe it when we see it." This post has been updated.

It seems to me that al Qaeda’s biggest weapon is their propaganda push. As Americans, we need to let the terrorists know that we are not afraid.

You mean Bush still hasn’t caught Osama like he promised?!!!!

It is probably OBL giben his support to Hillary much like Castro..She is the terrorist #1 choice ..

Co-Incidence? The video is coming near 9/11 and that is the same time when Gen. Petreaus gives his White House cooked report on Iraq! Amazing how this government works!

WHAT WEBSITE IS THIS MESSAGE POSTED ON??? Why can’t anyone in the public EVER find these messages themselves? Why does ABCNEWS always get advanced notice of these ‘Al Qaeda’ videos?
What do you mean the website is ‘regularly used by Al Qaeda’? Computer experts can EASILY track down the internet traffic to/from any given website/IP address. The world is being deceived by an intelligence agency into believing these threats are ‘Al Qaeda’ when they most likely aren’t. The US government would easily be able to track down who is posting this information if in fact it were genuine and not a propaganda ploy by the government itself.

Osama family’s website expired on 9-11-01 – the same day of the US terrorist attacks.
This can also be
proved from various online articles (including Wired, discussion groups and research tools.
This is a little known bit in the media, but is very verifiable and is a
fascinating and rarely documented part of the 9/11 story. Moreover, over
the last several years, I have placed an email server which has
harvested megabytes worth of email intended for Binladin brothers,
corporate correspondences and even strange “Osama” fan letters.

Osama, who, as Bush would say???
Oh, hell he’s old news, and he’s not in Iraq, so he isn’t important. Don’t confuse Bush, he still thinks Saddam attacked us on 9-11, and so do many other Republicans, who keep trying to tell everyone else that, but we didn’t drinkt he kool-aid.

Hey,
This is a unanimous person not into political business, but I do have a question I pray won’t offend anyone…
My question is…if we get intel on the Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden-videotapes, weeks or even a month before any attack could possibly even be “imminent”, why don’t we citizens, AND WITH government-official help, find a way for most of us here in America to be saved from any “oncoming terrorist attack” that could be imminent at any time with un-trusting terror groups like Al-Qaeda, and keep hundreds, if not more Americans from getting killed on our own soil?
This isn’t a political OR “put-down” question. This was intended as a meant-as-helpful-question.

Osama is using ‘Just For Men’? Now THAT is news. I wonder what all this means? Thanks, Brian Ross. Remember to keep us updated.

Posted by: Regina | September 6, 2007, 6:15 pm 6:15 pm

Just remember, the “war on terror” is just a bumper-sticker slogan.
Also, we have already lost the war on terror.
Anyone who votes democrat is a maroon! The next attack is coming, and your leftist propaganda is not going to help you! You lefties will probably beg for the assistance of your “right-wing” neighbors that are armed. Unless, of course, you live in DC, where the only people that can have guns are terrorists, criminals, and the police…
WAKE UP AMERICA! THE WAR HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!

Soon as President Bush leaves office we will capture Bin Laden his family money will not have a hold on the White House any longer. We can really put fourth a effort to capture this demon who is just a coward of a person not even a man just a dog no lower than a dog. We as US citizens will get this devil once and for all!!!!!!

There is of the oracles of Europe a prediction that 2 devices will fall on New York which the prognosticator indicating it was nuclear.
This would indicate a missile from either a cargo ship or a submarine. One can find the links to it on JR Nyquist’s site.
bin Laden will only surface though to claim title for an event as that is what his ego driven appearances have in the past indicated. As I blogged on this over a year ago, one should watch for the tell tale golden dagger which he wore when he started this war. His wearing it again would indicate a grand climax as his manifesto relates that when America leaves Iraq then the WMD attacks against the west will start.
God keep the good in America from harm.

He’s wearing the exact same outfit and is in front of the same background. The only thing that is different is his beard. I’m not convinced this really is a new video.

With God’s permission Osama will be dead by 11, September

I hope neither you nor any other American media outlet rebroadcasts OBL’s video. Just as a video taunt to the American people by Hilter, Mussolini, or Tojo would not have been rebroadcast by you during World War II, our news media should likewise refuse to give aid and comfort to our enemies now.

Osama…you continue to show the world what an evil deviant you are. The “God” you worship is obviously a “God” that breeds hate and evil in others. You’re the MiddleEast version of Adolph Hitler. Anyone that would actually believe the preachings of your so called “God” would not be commiting such henious acts of mass murder and destruction. Your race has been battling for centuries with those who dont believe in or practice your same religous beliefs. It’s YOUR way or not at all. You’ll always be a threat to the world. Not just those of us in the USA but the entire world. Threats can and will be eliminated, better sooner than later. It’s just a matter of time before you’re found. The world is waitingly patiently to see your public execution televised around the world. The people who are idiotic enough to follow you deserve the same fate.

To say I hate Bin Laden doesnt do any justice. However, I cant blame him for this tape. He is just reminding the world that our wonderful commander-in-chief has failed to follow through on his Dead or Alive statement. It would be nice for OBL to be caught or killed. However, Im a little pissed that he is still on the loose.

I highly doubt this is him…why not? Well because there really hasn’t been any videos now for over five years. Every since the battle of torabora no one ever saw him.
Videos can be prerecorded just like they have videos prerecorded by most major networks incase someone dies or incase of an emergency.
A war cannot end unless one of the parties realizes it has won…as of yet the USA hasn’t done that…

with the permission of GOD? it is hard to believe that anyone could have a God that would tell them to be a terrorist. which is what bin laden is. what kind of God would want a a man to send a “friendly” little reminder of a murderous act they initiated? isn’t that more like a devil thing than a God thing? i am grateful that the God i believe in tells me to love, not kill, people. i am also grateful that i live in a country where i am protected and not forced to believe as one man does, ie. binladen.

Having a video released and actually beig able to watch it are 2 different things. What happened to the letter that he wrote to the American people immediately following 9 11? I never read it. Part of it was published, and only once. Not that I agree with the events of 9 11 because I don’t, but I’d like to read my mail please.

This is a copy of my lecture notes for teh History of World Terrorism class I currently teach. This is by no means an expert assessment, but does consider both sides of the coin…
September 2007 Threat Assessment
1. Factors suggesting an attack is eminent
a. Arrests of al Qaeda suspects planning “spectacular” attacks
i. Denmark
ii. Germany
b. Odd financial activities
i. “Put options” betting on a market down turn by September 21, 2007
ii. These types of movements were made prior to September 11, 2001
c. Osama bin Laden video tape
i. First video of bin Laden since the autumn of 2004
ii. Concern has existed for years that since bin Laden videos are rare they may signify a “go sign” for an sleep cell attack
iii. If beard has been colored recently this could be a “hidden message”
d. Al Qaeda Promise
i. Al Qaeda has promised a “surprise” to mark the anniversary of the “invasion of Manhattan”
ii. In the past al Qaeda “surprises” were operations near completion/execution
2. Factors suggesting an attack is NOT eminent
a. Arrests of al Qaeda suspects planning “spectacular” attacks
i. Denmark
ii. Germany
iii. These guys could have been “wannabes”
iv. Attacks were not located within the United States
b. Odd financial activities
i. “Put options” betting on a market down turn by September 21, 2007
ii. These types of movements were made prior to September 11, 2001
iii. These types of financial movements may just be a sign of the uneasy financial times we are currently facing.
iv. If numerous small investors made a small “put options” looking for a big payoff it would add up to a very large sum of money
c. Osama bin Laden video tape
i. First video of bin Laden since the autumn of 2004
ii. Al Qadea always marks the 9/11 anniversary with a video or audio message
iii. Why attack when the video alone will produce publicity and fear?
iv. Video could be nothing more than a “rerun”
v. Beard could be colored black because the video is old; filmed before his beard went grey
d. Al Qaeda Promise
i. Al Qaeda has promised a “surprise” to mark the anniversary of the “invasion of Manhattan”
ii. “Surprise” could be the video message from Osama bin Laden

The guy is dead. Even his more recent videos could have been done before his death. I’m sure there is a video that he recorded before his death which he talks about the U.S. invasion of Iran. It doesn’t take that much prescient insight to realize that we need to invade Iran sooner of later. Nor did it take clairvoyance for him to have made a video that we invaded Iraq prior to that invasion. The only thing that annoys me is that these islamic web sites are now referring to God instead of allah.

My Goodness. The bearded wonder has surfaced again, just like the snake he is.
Not only has his beard color changed, probably thanks to “Just for Men” beard color, it also looks like it was trimmed and fumigated for lice.
My question is if this scumbag could attack us, why advertise it? Does it possibly have something to do with some “certain” insufficiency he has had to deal with.
My money’s on America finding this piece of desert tent trash, (their equivilent to our trailer trash) and taking him out once and for all.

Posted by: The Gnome | September 6, 2007, 8:30 pm 8:30 pm

I hope ABC News does something novel if Bin Laden does come out with a message, and that is,not air it! I am concerned that we would be playing into his hands, since previously it was thought that command words were hidden in his messages. What if he gave a party and no one came? Don’t give him the time of day on the air. I wish that whatever he says would be kept secret by the government to deal with it,so as not to strike anymore fear into American hearts,nor give him what he wants,attention,or any more power over our actions, reactions. I know that this probably wouldn’t be possible, but what if the whole country did it and didn’t allow him a pulpit of any kind? Reports could say that a message was received but that the gov’t. is handling it, denying him his audience. Just a thought.

I’d like to see that photographer gather 1300 volunteer nudes to line up in 13 rows then bend over, with their buttocks painted either red, white, or blue; in order to form an American Flag. Then another 100 nudes lined up under that with their buttocks painted white with the phrase “Kiss my flag, Osama!” lettered on them. And that should be our new video for him!

Who benefits from showing binLaden tapes?Americans certainly don’t, except maybe Bush and cronies. But we keep doing bin Laden a great service by showing these. Just what he wants. No, he isn’t in Iraq, and we still don’t know where he is, but he’s likely to turn up and this surge will take him
out. Isn’t that why we’re still in Iraq?

There is no evidence that OBL is still alive. There is no evidence 9-11 was anything beyond what is was… see Germany, etc since then… all moslem jihadists trained in Pakistan area… OBL area we all agree on… the war on the west is real… there is no evidence there is not a global terrorist movement… the deniers are without evidence… the USA is not the source of world evil… the self-hating just are happy being unhappy. Its what the modern liberal (secular socialist) does… the angry know-it-all emotion-based no evidence looney fringe.

OSAMA BIN LADEN is sending a video, but a plot to send bombs is foiled once again.
OBL’s supporters in the United States are not bearded Muslims training suicide bombers; they are ACLU lawyers, congressmen and senators who deny eavesdropping tools and attack our will to wage war against the jihadists.

I have one question.
If Bin Laden has colored his beard to try to look pretty (you’ll have better luck with a goat), doesn’t that violate some part of the Quran that partains to vanity?

Posted by: The Gnome | September 6, 2007, 9:52 pm 9:52 pm

All of you liberals that have posted prior to this need to grow up and stop whining about the bush administration. Anybody that thinks our government cooked up this whole thing are probably the same people that buy into the 9/11 conspiracy nonsence, and should be dragged out to the street and shot. Im not saying Bush hasn’t made his share of mistakes, but all of you left-wing-loons need to grow up and stop seeing a conspiracy behind everything. When this presidential election occurs and the liberals take over the white house, which unfortunatly they probably will, thats when you should be afraid of your government. With a weak little girl (and thats not just a reference to hillary but to all of the democratic nancys) in the white house we will be invaded within a month. And when we do get attacked we wont have guns to defend ourselves because the liberals will try to take them away, I say we give more guns to good people and then pity any terrorist that tries to mess with our great country.

Very few intelligent posts here. It’s so sad to see that the politicians, media, OBL etc have fooled you people into your opinions. Not a single original, unbiased, honest opinion here. It’s either Dubya is the best or everything Dubya does is crooked. You’re all a bunch of fools.

This whole thing is getting annoying.
This dude for the past 7 years has been hiding in the so called “lawless” region of Pakistan. BS. A supposed ally that can’t even find a “most wanted” international criminal in their own country. It’s getting to the point where he is starting to have press conferences blatantly offering a video schedule to mark our calenders. Something is really wrong here. I thought Al Jazeera (who gets these tapes first) was an impartial international news agency headquartered in a nation that is our “ally”. Yet they don’t seem to be able to provide any leads on who is supplying these tapes. Where is the U.N.? If OBL is such a wanted international criminal as our “allies” keep saying, then where are we seeing any actual pressure from the international community to finally get this guy? You actually think a small backhill tribal towns in Pakistan can stop the international community from getting this guy if they really wanted to? As each year passes since 9/11/01 and OBL is still doing videos I am increasingly aware that something seriously wrong is going on with the international will to enforce international justice and loss of confidence in our “allies”. Also I am losing faith in our own leadership to actually do something other than invading Iraq and spending billions on fixing Iraqi infrastructure while we get almost nothing to help our own people.

Posted by: Chris | September 6, 2007, 10:21 pm 10:21 pm

Oh come on, we all know that Osama is in Pakistan! We can’t go after him there, if we did, Pakistan would be immediately taken over by jihadi extremists. Then, we’d have extremists with nuclear bombs. I think that is a little more important than one single man… one single vain old man.

He was a media hound who released a video every month after 9/11. In Dec 2001 we got a tip he was in Tora Bora and bombed it to rubble not a word has been heard from him. This new video is fake because he has been dead for almost 6 years now.

Posted by: Jeff | September 6, 2007, 10:27 pm 10:27 pm

Maybe the video was shot inside one of the Mexican rigs now allowed to travel inside anywhere in our homeland.

I agree. Even the liberal press is saying that this “surge” is working. Read your history liberal Bush haters. Stop micromanaging the administration. Many of our presidents made mistakes in the past. Madison “let” Washington D.C. be burned by the British. So far, Bush hasn’t. Lincoln made monumental mistakes during the Civil War. It took him four tries before he found U.S. Grant to lead the Army of the Potomac. Roosevelt’s administration had no clue that The Japanese were going to commit such an overt act of war (Pearl Harbor). Kennedy had the Bay of Pigs. Johnson had Viet Nam. Carter had, well, himself, oh and the Iranian hostage crisis.
Read your history about occupations after a war. It took up to 10 years to completely pacify Germany. It took years to clean up Japan. We still have major military presences there in both countries.
This will all take time. This isn’t like TV cop shows solving the crime within the 1 hour. It isn’t about oil, revenge for “Daddy”, or anything else. Look how long it takes us to find serial killers in this country. Some we haven’t found yet.

Look at the video capture of the “new” UBL tape–a bunch of sites say what a great propaganda coup it is that he has dyed his beard and now looks “young and healthy.” No he doesn’t! He looks like #%*@! Seriously, if that even is UBL, he looks like Night of the Living Dead.

Posted by: Jamie B. | September 6, 2007, 11:24 pm 11:24 pm

Let’s just hope that during this video he doesn’t have a “wardrobe malfunction.” That in and of itself could almost be considered a terrorist act…
So the “summer spectacular” is OBL’s revitalized beard? I guess it’s a big thing for a few guys who trade goats for AK-47′s. These guys are just trying to scare us…trying to test our reaction…once we appear to let our guard down, look out. The best solution here is to get this guy and his “cast and crew.” They wanted to change our lives and they have done that (this is, made us more aware of the world and dangers around us). And so I ask this…if it is “ok” for them to change our lives, then why is it so bad for us to change their lives (that is, spread western ideals)? Who here is to say that one side is “more right” than the other?
The fact is, however, that these radicals kill civilians to make a point. Westerners generally try to go out of their way to protect civilians (sure, maybe there have been some isolated cases here and there, maybe). But these goofs proclaim it as one of the most holy things to do. How can anyone justify the spilling of innocent blood, even if in retaliation? People cry foul when our troops kill a handful of civilians in a retaliatory search after an IED kills some of their unit. But these same people turn the other way and say nothing when the enemy bombs nightclubs in Bali and Britain, plans to attack airports and other non-military sites like the WTC. Are these people saying that we can be held to a higher standard than the enemy? Why? What makes them so special that they “don’t have to play by the rules?” If anything, this should be insulting to the enemy for it implies that they are not as civilized as us. Yet the enemy supports these people in their quests to hold public office in the West. Add it up folks.

Has anyone really examined these two photos. In the 2004 photo, Bin Laden’s forehead width & shoulder to shoulder width is significantly bigger in size than the most recent photo (measure & see). Just as Sadaam had many impersonator’s walking around to distract the U.S., it appears that Bin Laden has one as well. You can analyze whatever he says on the upcoming tape all you want, though it will be futile, as this is certainly not the “real McCoy”.

I want to believe this piece of crap is still alive, so the US military can have the pleasure of slaughtering him, also because I just can’t bring myself to believe all of the semi-plausible yet glaringly inaccurate conspiracy theories floating around out there.
I do know Bush, even though I voted for him twice, is one of the WORST presidents we could possibly have at this time. Think of a school with this one. We need a kick ass COACH running things, not the mealy-mouthed stuttering guidance counselor.
We did NOT elect the ACLU to run our country and need to fight this war, not play world cops. Bush, get your manhood back…FIGHT THIS WAR LIKE A MAN INSTEAD OF A LIL PANSY!!! You’ll get called racist, bigoted, xenophobic, etc., etc., etc.? SO WHAT…IT’S ALREADY BEEN SAID BEFORE! WHAT’S WRONG MAN…Are you that sensitive? Which hurts worse, name calling or your entire country lost?
and Bin Laden, If you’re not already in hell, get ready…You will be soon!
and if the government has really become a Stalinist system, complete with lies, conspiracy, propaganda and complete domination of the people…Keep in mind, GOD TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS…No matter how powerful you THINK you are, GOD WILL ALWAYS BE FAR, FAR, FAR MORE POWERFUL!
In closing, I am skeptical of all sides here. These business manager, frat boy wussies with more concern for their portfolios than their country will RUIN us all!

What amazes me is that some people find this comment section as nothing more than an “I HATE BUSH” page. The facts are President Bush has done a wonderful job, just 25 years late. Better late than never, especially since the attacks have been coming against U.S. interests since the 70′s. I’m at a total loss though for some individuals complete loss of touch with recent history. After this long with repeated historical data I can only conclude that it’s not really a loss of touch with reality, but an intentional ignorance built and bent on driving Leftist political agenda. How else could anyone explain the intentional ignoring of all the data that poured out of Iraq after the invasion including writings from meetings between Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein?
Interestingly, it seems the DNC has issued new marching orders for their gullible masses. They are decrying the Iraq military report before it’s even delivered! This done by actual political intent without knowledge of what it contains. Does it take a hit from a terrorist attack for some people to figure out that the DNC and cronies care nothing about the U.S. and her people? Everything to the DNC is a tool. Life itself, merely a tool. Straight out of the Communist handbook. Is that the kind of people anyone would really want to be associated with? Sometimes I think the DNC is a bigger threat to the U.S. than Bin Laden is!

Why all the focus on Bin Laden’s beard? Do none of the ethnocentric idiots in the newsmedia or the CIA or the FBI realize that it’s a common practice throughout the Arab world for older men to dye their hair and beards with henna? Get a clue, people.

Ron Paul is doomed to lose. Thanks for clarification. Osama is a dead man walking. I just hope we capture him, fly him here and then donate him to all the victims families of 9/11.

BIn Laden’s beard isn’t the key to anything. Don’t you people know that older Arab men commonly dye their beards and hair with dark henna? Duh.

Instead of airing this video of Bin Laden, let’s show the faces of our military men and women that have died because of the President’s war. Let’s see the faces of these brave souls that went to Iraq and have been blown up, and blown apart, and the families that are now grieving loved ones. Instead of giving Bin Laden 2 minutes of airtime, let’s honor those that protect and serve their country. I am proud to say that my son is a Marine, and I thank God every day that he is not in the sandbox, yet. I don’t want to be a parent grieving over the death of a child. The government needs to step up, say hey, we screwed up, screwed you and screwed the world. We all know it. Let them SOB’s finally admit it.

The war here doesn’t seem to be with Al Qaeda, the Shiite, the Suni, Iraq or the extremists, it seems to be among the left and right of this country. Those who contribute to this ‘war’ are idiots. We’re all on the same side, at least we’re supposed to be as Americans. I know Republicans who won’t even speak to me because I’m a registered Democrat, and I’m constantly told ‘oh you’re wrong’ like it’s some kind of religious chant. I know Democrats who won’t even acknowledge Republicans because of their views and thier distaste with Mr. Bush.
YOU MORONS!!! THIS IS AMERICA AND YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO THINK AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL PER THE CONSTITUTION!!! Those of you who work so hard at stifling the other, are Fascists! This is counterproductive. You’re all selfish, self-serving, self-important and acting like spoiled brats who can’t have thier way. YOU DESERVE THIS IF YOU ACT LIKE THIS!
A great man said “Your mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it isn’t open.” Quit being so selfish and greedy. You may find you learn something.
The thing that gets me is that most of you say you’re of a Christian background. SOME CHRISTIANS YOU ARE!!! Christ would kick people like you in the teeth because you’d offend him since you obviously missed his message. Learn to live with one another. We’re all we have.

Andrew, the issue is that, as in past history, no one trusts the US government, even it’s own citizens. I would love to trust my government, but they continuously prove, on both the right and the left, that they are NOT to be trusted. I believe these people enter the political circle with good intentions, but are soon corrupted by one thing or another that makes their service null and void.

I wonder if there’s any way we can replace our entire military leadership with Bin Laden… Working with nothing but a handful of volunteers, he’s managed to scare the wits out of the entire Western World and keep us on the ropes. He sneezes and we panic… he releases a video and the entire corps of retired/former military/intellgence leadership of this country hit the speaking tour to explain the hidden meaning of his words. Remember the chest-thumping speeches that opined as how “They hate us because we’re free!”? Well, Bunkie… we’re doing our darndest to erase those reasons aren’t we? Next time you take an airline trip, visit a federal building, open a bank account or use a communication device, you can think about how simple and free life was in those good old days when “Land of the Free… Home of the Brave” had some real meaning left. Whoops! Gotta go! The Prez is gonna reassure us as to how he’s making Murka safe for us Murkans by defeating the forces of darkness in Iraq.

So, thats what a deceased Osama Looks like eh? Come on people, he’s dead, and has been for quite awhile.

Posted by: Raymond King | September 7, 2007, 9:02 am 9:02 am

Thanks, ABC. I will now go and max out all my credit cards since the end of the world is in a couple days. PARTY ON! This will be the best weekend ever! I think I’ll go streeking through the neighborhood too. Hmmm, what else can I do?

Posted by: Ty | September 7, 2007, 9:10 am 9:10 am

Hmmm… anyone else think this sounds like the Star Trek episode ‘Patterns of Force’ where John Gill is made Fuerer and is drugged and propped up behind a microphone while someone else speaks propoganda for him?

Posted by: Punk | September 7, 2007, 9:18 am 9:18 am

A new full, black beard on UBL? Maybe he can be the new spokeperson for “Just For Men” lol And PLEASE be fair and show America the video when it comes out…

Posted by: Jazz | September 7, 2007, 9:21 am 9:21 am

If Osama has a red beard that means it’s now time to commence “Operation Barbarossa II”. That’s when I will really be scared and hide under my bed!!
Our Gov’t is so screwed up. they are all to busy playing “grab the tail on the Page Boy” that they don’t care about protecting our jobs, borders, environment, constitution, or anything else except for doing what Israel tells them to do. You Know…give them more money and turn a blind eye to the treatment of un-armed Palestinians in Gaza. This country will go down in history as the biggest failure since the Roman Empire; and the Chinese can’t wait!!

Bin Laden could have made many tapes prior to his reputed death so they can be released posthumously.

Posted by: HarryHollis | September 7, 2007, 9:46 am 9:46 am

Bad administrations need wars and foreing enemies to distract some people from what really is going on. It is one of the oldest tricks in the bad politician’s book.
Invading a country that was not prepared or planning to attack us,was not a Muslim fanatical run state & had no WMD’s (Irak for those dumb low IQ Dupe’ya suporters), Instead we should of finished the job where the real perpetrators of the attacks are & still enjoying some degree of freedom. (Afganistan for you dumb low IQ Dupe’ya supporters). 6 years later can keep sending out tapes with their
messages!!! Trying to scare (As Dupe’ya would say): “The world’s most powerfull cuntry”…What a sorry joke of (Again-or better said: continuous) “Bad intelligence”.
So while the big boys have filled their pockets with war revenue & Big Oil companies are at the table contemplating mouth watering present & future Iraki oil deals, Americans have to take another slap on the face from the people who did us in so long ago.
With enough ignorant voters out there people like the current Admin & those who brilliantly participated in it (some got medals for their accomplishements) will get away with just about anything!

Jeremiah 48:10 check it out this aint no love message from God to the infidels, brothers and sisters….

Posted by: HarryHollis | September 7, 2007, 10:03 am 10:03 am

i dont know what to think any more ive seen so many different documentrys that say bush was behind 9/11 and the same ammount about how OBL was behind it. i dont know what to belive. I do know that there is some sort of threat out there but the war in iraq and afgan are making things worst. The longer we are out there,the more reason it gives the younger genreation of these countrys to join forces like al Qaeda which means this things is going to be never ending!

Posted by: gaz(uk) | September 7, 2007, 10:22 am 10:22 am

what a joke! If the video is really true???? maybe we can finally take action with this meatball, I wonder how long it takes this coward to dye his beard why not just shave it.

Posted by: belson89 | September 7, 2007, 11:30 am 11:30 am

There is SUPPOSED to be freedom of speech in this nation, so let’s start drawing up cartoons of this ‘prophet’ and drive the whakos into the streets again.

Next thing you know they’ll dig up
“Uncle HO”; (that’s Ho Chi Minh for all you who watch Faux News) and tell us to watch out for him as well. This government is so pathetic– Bravo to the Aussies who penetrated the security at this week’s APEC meeting- that was so Pythonesque.
P.S. His beard isn’t Black – it’s dirt; it’s obvious he hasn’t bathed in 6 years… he’s wearing the same clothes, isn’t he??

I wonder if this could be bin Laden’s son?

Posted by: M. McAdams | September 7, 2007, 3:03 pm 3:03 pm

I’m seriously tired of both the mis-informed and the glaringly obvious dis-information agents, invoking the spectre of this guy in the desert with his cumbersome dialysis machine. He’s just a prop, a poster boy. He’s CIA trained.
Get it? If he’s captured, the self instigated 100 year war comes to
premature and unprofitable end.

We have lost almost more 3,000 young American men and women fighting in a country that even the administration admits has no clear connection to the 3,000 we lost on 9/11. OBL is still a threat to our country. Rename the goal to “War on Terror” to cover we didn’t get the man? The US is at greater threat today than we were on 9/12/2001 – directly because of Iraq. How many more families need to suffer loss? Funny – we don’t seem to care about the people in Darfur – It took our representatives of both parties to allow this mess to continue – and ‘we the people’ complain, but don’t act.

Dying of the beard is key. The Black beard tells of darkness about to decend on the West. A Red beard orders a halt to terrorist activities, Yellow means proceed with caution, Green means GO!

Hilarious! The best response here!!!

bin Laden appears healthy. We can only assume that Chauvez is keeping him well fed in South America.

You said it all Dave, and a grey beard means we’re all tired of this shhh…don’t say it.

Maybe Bin Laden will have his Super Bowl picks on this new tape?
