Second Bin Laden Tape Expected
A second tape from Osama bin Laden was recorded in the same location as the video released last week. People in the intelligence community who have seen the tape feel it is directly related to the 9/11 anniversary since the al Qaeda leader introduces the prerecorded martyrdom video of one of the 9/11 hijackers, Waleed al Shehri. Waleed al Shehri was one of the hijackers on American Airlines flight 11 that crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. More to come…

I cant stant even looking at a photo of him. I think if we find him….then somethinhg raadical should be done about his very existence and heads up and good to go…Get my drift I am speaking very indirectly but thats for a reason. Just take him….for a walk out in the desert. I am an American Citizen and am proud to live in this country and I get irate when someone messes with it.

I have had it with the Democrats; they are losers. We need to get this over with and go in and destroy bin laden. No apologies, just do it. This is ridiculous, a bunch of women-hating pre-industrial clowns with AK-47′s thinking they can take the US down. 9-11 happened, and it happened just like it was yesterday. We have not forgotten, and we want bin laden and his band of idiot cut-throats dead.

Interesting. I wonder if Bin Laden will have more of the Democrats’ talking points included in this speech.
Does anyone ever get concerned that the terrorists are in agreement with the Democrats on most issues? We need a president who is on the side of our enemy according to the Dems.

I would disagree with 99% of you. The terrorist are not “with” the democrats. They are more aligned with republicans. See the republican administration is doing nothing to catch or kill Bin Laden. He is therefore trying to make sure another republican gets in office so he is safe and has the means to recruit new members.
He is scared that a democrat will actually focus on him instead of the oil rich nations of Iraq and Iran.
Posted by: nativeokie | September 10, 2007, 10:01 am 10:01 am
OBL is dead. The guy they are using now has many of the same features are OBL, but also has many dissimilar features. OBL was killed in years ago in Tora Bora, IMO.
I’m not sure who benefits more from perpetuating the notion OBL is still alive and well, muslim terrorists or our war on terror.

Osama sounds more and more like a liberal. He shares many of the same views with America’s Democratic party.
It is to bad that the Liberals in our country have not noticed how many fellow Muslims have been killed at the hands of Islam.
Maybe our liberals think Osama is interested in only killing Conservatives.

No, nativeokie, he is with the Demcrats. Just because Bush can’t seem to close ANY border, doesn’t mean UBL isn’t a member of Moveon or Kos! He has their talking points down pat! Just admit it, Dems! You like the way the guy thinks! Bush is an ass, but you guys are traitors

Posted by: zak brisk | September 10, 2007, 10:15 am 10:15 am
Have any of you read the transcript of Bin Laden’s message? This is world is so oblivious that no one cares how much he praises “Allah” and that he says that Jesus is Allah’s prophet. Jesus is the Son of God (and Allah is not the true God).
Islam is the anti-christ religion prophecied in the Bible.
Posted by: Mark Lawrence | September 10, 2007, 10:15 am 10:15 am
Interesting…An Administration official “baits” Bin Laden on public television as “impotent” in the hopes of tracking his location. I guess this is smart policy if it works or a disaster if it emboldens terrorists to respond.

Hey Joyce:
You should ask Osama that question. I don’t know why. But truthfully … why does Bush need it NOW versus two or four or six months ago? I think your perceptions are off. Secondly … OBL did this in ’04 to hopefully influence the nation to vote democrat. What does that tell you about democrats!? Did you read his latest t-script? It could have been a campaign speech from any democrat! Your question sounds like a Keith Olberman conspiracy theory. Wake up.

Why do they keep giving this man a forum. That picture of him is terrible if I did not know better it almost looks like he is dead. Look at his eyes they are down for the most part. They say he is speaking but who really knows.
Now we should concentrate on the UNITED STATES not where this idiot is we have enough to handle without hearing about what he has to say.
This is free advertising for him that is if that is him of which I really doubt.

It is terribly convenient for W that this comes out just now, isn’t it? All of you Dem-bashers are playing into his hands once again, with your kneejerk comparisons of the Dems to this criminal all Americans despise. Maybe you are just holding onto the threads of your sanity, because if you see reality, you’d have to acknowledge that YOU voted these criminal cowards into office, who left Osama alive because it served their purposes in further terrorizing Americans, so we wouldn’t question their criminal war in the Middle East – which Cheney et al planned as long ago as 1998. (Google PNAC for proof.) And if you acknowledged your own culpability, you’d have to realize YOU are the ones on Osama’s side; you’ve given him exactly what he wanted – a cause that has and will continue to draw more to his jihadist movement. You should be ashamed. And once you get over that, furious at the Repubs. And you should support getting rid of your lying, criminal president and his corporate cronies that YOU put in the White House to trash our economy, our reputation and our Constitution. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism – I believe the Osama-supporter Thomas Jefferson penned that one.

I’m one of many who believe he is dead. I think that the video is a look-a-like or an old video. If I had any say in the matter I would not give him or the video any coverage or time of day.

These Osama Bin Laden tapes points out the security weakness of the USA Intellignece Community to capture this Islamic Rebel General who will eventually rule all the Islamic Republics, of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran, with his ruthless Al Queda warrriors. Many of these “Islamic warriors,” seeminglt, are already inside the USA, waidting for the right time to devestate USA cities with suicide bombers. The great, late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein should have never been murdered, because now nobody stands in Osma bin Laden’s way to be the new “Islamic King Of The Middle East.

Hey Victor. Read The 1% Doctrine. Intelligence analysts concluded the tape was made, in fact, to help Bush. Geroge W Bush’s policies has made Bin Laden’s organization much more capable than it ever was.

I have serious concerns for the future of this nation if any of you seriously believe that democrats share anything in common with Bin Laden and the terrorist.
I cannot believe anyone is that ignorant and if you in fact are it proves our public education system is in serious trouble.

Bin Laden never really existed, CIA plot from the git go. except if he were alive we would put him in GITMO! haha
Don’t believe everything you see on the media controlled US TV.
Always follow the money trail… points to the US OIL Companies and the synthetic war on terrorism. When bush needs Bin laden the most, he suddenly and conveniently appears. Total BS!

Why do we give this nut any attention?? He is using our media to send messages and we shouldn’t allow him to do that. Who cares what he says anyway?? Like this man has any credibility with anyone!! I’ve heard there are several people who masquerade for him, it could be a stand-in for all we know. Last picture I saw of him, he looked half-dead and had a scraggly, grey beard.

Posted by: boB | September 10, 2007, 10:33 am 10:33 am
You conservatives are so dumb. Osama is long dead. The reason why he sounds like a liberal is because he’s an actor paid to make the Democrats look bad and help the conservatives keep office.
Expect to see this actor back, sometime a few weeks before the election in 2008.

1. The Air Force flew 6 nuclear weapons over the US ‘by accident’ last week. You all remember the news story. We have not been told if all 6 have been accounted for, let alone has it been proven to us.
2. Chertoff and Hayden (DHS, CIA), have been telling us all summer that a terror attack is imminent.
3. Bush says “wait until September” for Pertraus report. Why September?

Beth, it is actually Islamic custom for the men to dye their beards to appear youthful. It is mostly the leaders that do it though. Apparently age is not as important to them. We embrace those with grey hair as wise, they see it as weak.
We saw this all the time with militant leaders in Afghanistan and Iraq. For some the appearance changes are pretty drastic and made identification of leaders tougher.

“if Clinton had taken them on when they did the ’93 WTC bombing …” Get an education – and not on ABC or Faux News. TO DATE, the only successful prosecution of a terrorist in the U.S. was for the first WTC bombing, done under the Clintons, who also bombed AQ terror camps in Aghanistan and Iraq. And who strongly urged Bush to act, not ignore the threat. But of course – typical knee-jerk: whatever Clinton says MUST be wrong to a Bushie. So they ignored warning after warning after warning. Naturally, THAT’S Clinton’s fault, too.
Posted by: Gogi | September 10, 2007, 10:42 am 10:42 am
4. Why September? and why the nukes flying over the US last week ‘by accident’? It is clear a handful of neo-conservative wackos have hijacked the US government. I fear these people, the same ones that fed bogus information to the public to help encourage the Iraq war, are now about to do something sickening. Would they dare hijack one of the 6 nuclear weapons mentioned in last week’s news stories and detonate it to secure their power base and put us on an unending path to war? I for one think these people are connected well enough into the military secrecy system that they could pull a plan like this off without anyone in the rest of the government able to figure them out.

Follow the money. Cheney, Bush, et al have bought up land in Dubai and Argentina. Why do you think that is?

Nativeoki, thank you for your service and your sanity. But is there hope that this country will come to its senses? It seems that – as soon as the dreaded face of the coward Osama is shown again – everyone wants to turn tail and run, which in this case means “stick with the devil you know,” aka Bush. As if he’s done such a fabulous job SO FAR, including 9/11 on his watch, the horribly botched Afghanistan and the disaster in Iraq. Not to mention the Katrina debacle, record deficits, the VA, etc.
Posted by: Gogi | September 10, 2007, 10:58 am 10:58 am
I wonder what our liberal “friends” would say if there is actually another attack on US soil and OBL takes credit? Some of them, like some here, will, no doubt, hold to the contention that actually OBL is dead or, worse yet, never even really existed anyway! (Amazing what special effects OBL’s crew can pull off in the midst on some mountain region–that guy sure look like OBL and how did they get legions of our enmey to swear allegiance and go train with a figment of the CIA’s propaganda imagination?!)
Posted by: Den | September 10, 2007, 11:02 am 11:02 am
You’ve had it with the Democrats? It was Bushy Boy and his crew who diverted the whole war by going after Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11. Had they stayed in Afghanistan and even tried harder with Pakistan he would have been captured. Or do they even want him captured? They use the video tapes to get other bad news buried and then use FEAR to give the Republicans a boost. It was done on the Republicans watch and had Bush listened to the warnings instead of been on vacation maybe it never would have happened.

7 years later and no Bin Laden. Not a surprise though, here are 2 G.W. Bush quotes about Bin Laden…
“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02 “I am truly not that concerned about him.” – G.W. Bush, responding to a question about bin Laden’s whereabouts, 3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)
Posted by: Where's Bin Laden? | September 10, 2007, 11:04 am 11:04 am
Oh, Patti, darling, where did you get that? You are drinking the Koolaid. Nobody’s talking about yacking lawyers here. The only proven way to combat terror is through police action, not by military force – unless you’ve got millions of boots on the ground, which we ain’t got. It has never worked in the history of the world against an insurgent or terrorist enemy. That’s why it isn’t and can’t ever be a declared ‘war.’ The War on Terror is a misnomer, like the War on Poverty of LBJ era.

Pay attention, folks, WE ALL HATE OSAMA! He should’ve been our #1 target and Bush should have stuck with it instead of his “I don’t worry about him any more” comments when he couldn’t catch him and wanted to go after Iraq oil. For the record, I’m all for police action and lots of it – wherever and wherever it’s needed. It’s the only thing that works against terror. But we don’t need to be depleting our military – especially our National Guard, whom we need at home – in Iraq, where NO AL QUAEDA THREAT EXISTED before Bush made it a perfect recruitment and training ground. That just plays into the terrorists’ hands, making it harder for us to respond at home when the next attack comes. (Which of course will be Clinton’s fault.)

As long as citizens continually buy into polarizing- people, places and things as right or wrong based on political parties or labeling the established culture in Washington DC will keep going business as usual playing all of us as pawns by promoting and propagating fear. I am not writing that there should be some level of natural fear of the unknown. It should not be used to control or manipulate us. The powers in control are not dems or repubs in the traditional sense of the party affiliations but special interest groups that buy and pay for capitalistic not democratic endeavors. Electoral college and supreme court decided one election. A government of the people by the people for the people is unfortunately an ideal not a fact. If money is the main need or factor in electing a president then who or what really represents us? My God, let us all get beyond partisan blame game and move on to what is really important before it is too late.

Strange how many of the posters took the time to blast Democrats or more specifically Hillary as a reaction to OBL. 6 years after 9/11, and he’s still free to create havoc in the US. We didn’t really win either the war in Afghanistan or Iraq, and we’ve demonstrated that we can’t keep the peace. Every shot that conservatives take at liberals and vice versa is a victory for OBL.

I cannot tolerate any more of this myopic idealogical banter on behalf of your respective political parties. This is the single most nauseating display of bipartisan grandstanding I have ever seen. Why can’t you people learn to make up your own mind for once? Conservatives, Liberals, Democrats, Republicans… all of you have little to no sentient concept of original thought. You become easily outraged at something someone else says based on the fact that they are alligned with one political party or another. I wish this country could get out of a political system that dates back to ancient rome, and for once crawl out of the dark ages. Our fundamental political beliefs are antiquated and counterproductive. There has to be a more enlightened form of government. I am so tired of the frustrated tax paying middle class (of which I am a member) being subject to all of the political propaganda of men and women that care little to none about us or the rest of the country. We are given this lame bipartisan ideology to occupy our time like children. Meanwhile these corrupt politicians and powermongers manipulate the masses with constant contradictory behavior. The United States of America is nothing but a slave to a giant lame duck burocracy hiding behind a curtain of globalization and world power. Our citizens are as much a tool of the propaganda set forth by the media and politicians as the communist block of the latter part of the 20th century. Wake up and take the country back from this programming.. THINK FOR YOURSELVES!!!!

They say the speech writer most likely was Adam Ghadan (sik) because of the style and substance. If you recall Ghadan sent a tape similar to this in its content and tone this past year. Ghadan is an American convert to radical Islam.

Did it not occur to you that the video was INTENDED to read like something written by the democrats in order to discredit them/associate OBL with them? The video was most likely produced by people working for the Republican neo-cons.

Based on these comments,it is apparent that far to many of you have no knowlege of to area in which UBL is suppose to be hiding. If you did,you would understand the reasons he has not been found. It is easy to be a arm chair quarterback,we have people in this country on our ten most wanted list,that do not have the money or the support that UBL has helping him,and we can’t find the people,on these list here at home. Hillary couldn’t find a box of files in her office for over a year,and she’s suppose to be one of smartest women in the country. And you think she’s going to find “UBL”. For the history challanged people in this blog.it took as long as 40+ years to find “war” criminal’s from “WW II” And some were never found. And this was with both goverenments from all over the world looking for them.

The powers that be keep us hating each other while they reap the rewards. Doesn’t anyone read your history books? Don’t you know that at one point, Saddam Hussein, George Bush I and the Bin Ladens were business partners? That doesnt raise eyebrows???

Sorry to tell Y’ALL Republicans but Bin Laden is still work for da Bushes. Everybody in the world knows the region bin laden is in except for the Bush Administration.If y’all Republicans would only read some HISTORY maybe you would or could realize what is going on.Russia was bankrupt from their war with a US backed Afghanistan, head CIA man for US: BIN LADEN. Pay backs are a mutha,republicans can’t comprehend that this is happening to us right know, where is all this money gonna come from for the war? Bush and Chaney’s family’s accounts are full, they don’t worry, T.OH guess what Bushy, Bin Laden is NOT in Iraq. But you see he said it himself, he isn’t worried about Bin Laden, he is worried about the OIL.
Posted by: Matt FBush | September 10, 2007, 11:35 am 11:35 am
Oh no, the republicans are probably trembling now. It must be a sad and wasted life being scared of terrorist every day. We should remember those who died in 9/11, however we should not live our lives in fear because of 9/11. Fear is what terrorist want, and when you’re scared you act out of emotion instead of reasoning.
This is becoming more and more like 1984 as well. Goldstein = Bin Laden. With our man power and intelligence, we could have caught Bin Laden years ago. Why isn’t Bush talking much about Bin Laden anymore? Why aren’t we pursuing those who directly caused 9/11? Why do we let Osama release videos criticizing our way of life? Is Osama really alive any more, or is the government hiring lookalikes to create propaganda and justification for our wars? I doubt that they are, but so blindly letting this administration get away with pillaging a country, lying to the public and congress repeatedly, covering up their arses, destroying Habeaus Corpus (the list goes on and on), I don’t see how those 39% let the Bush Party get away with all of this. Bush basically breaks every moral code a true conservative haves, and even biblical codes. Thou shalt not bear false witness (Bush, Gonzales, etc.) Aww man I could go on and write a 30 page paper about this administration and the followers.

And liberals, if Bush could somehow have these tapes released when his numbers ran low, I have one question for you: Why did he wait until now? His numbers have been much lower at more critical of times for him. As far as I’m concerned, not one of you has any business near a voting booth. Here’s a tip: Go get freaking GED’s, morons…

I would expect to see several videos from him. All shot from the same location, same day, maybe different backgrounds and change of clothes etc. Looks as if he saddled up the clidesdales and rode into town for his annual studio session.
Question now is where is #2? His turn to hide for a few months.
These guys obviously come to “adam’s” studio when they get the chance.

I wonder if this video will be as bizzare as the last one. OBL seems to be praising liberal views, as if he wanted people to rally behind the Republicans.
He must know this is a great boost to Bush.
Still… he’d give Bush an even better present if he made a more personal attack against the US people, and hinted at future attacks.
Oh, and maybe next time, we’ll see his lips move for the full length of the video, rather than just for 3.5 mins out of 26 mins.
Nice false beard though! Maybe we’ll see false ears next time.

CGI? Its just a bad byproduct of what happens when you use DVCAM and firewire to chroma key using a cheap NLE like final cut pro. The composite is done cheaply and clearly not expertly by some untrained video person working for him. Its not CGI. Video compressed poorly with a lousy editor working with cheap software and bad lighting. If you are going to cgi something like that it would have taken months to render and the content was far too timely.

Andy,
You’ve had it with the democrats because the USA hasn’t gotten Osama Bin Laden???
Oh please, Bush is the one who doesn’t think about Osama Bin Laden much & Bush is the one who diverted special forces away from the hunt to start that needless war in Iraq when Osama was cornered. Bush is the one who has made no effort to get him in years.
Don’t try to project Bush’s failures onto the democrats. It’s past time Bush be held accountable for the massive failures on his watch.
No more Clinton excuses because Bush’s second term is nearing the end & his policies have been a complete disaster for America. Everything he touches has been a total failure. His policies have bankrupted America & the Iraq war has gone on longer now than it took America to defeat the axis powers in World War 2.
What kind of signal has Bush sent the world letting Osama taunt America for 6 years? Hint it’s not exactly showing America as a power to be feared.
Posted by: Saintzac | September 10, 2007, 11:48 am 11:48 am
Does anybody find it odd that OBL shows up just when the folks in power need a reason to do XYZ and is on point.
It seems to me that since there is no other nation in the world strong enough to pose a threat to the US.. we need to invent a “SUPER DEMON” that can’t be seen, can’t be killed and can strike with the force of a thousand demons?
Look how well the BS (propaganda) works, by the comments posted here!
I believe that there is no way a man in a cave can make all this happen.
I believe that there is no way that one person can make an entire nations defense stand down when the only time prior was when Japan was able to strike Pear Harbor without a single radar system picking it up.
I believe that there is no way 3 steel buildings can collapse in the exact same way (foot print) when 2 were hit by planes and One was not.
I believe the American People is being lied to so that Attacks on other nations can be justified.
I believe that only War Mongers in the Republican and Democrat parties will be nominated to run for President so that the War will continue.
I believe that the American Public will continue to watch the News see the reality right there in plane view, but only listen to what the talking heads say and come to the conclusion that we have to “STAY THE COURSE”.
Remember it only takes 41% (votes) to stop the war.. by stopping the funding..
not 61% to vote stop the war by majority.
I believe that only 2% of those reading this will realize what I am saying.
But if that 2% can relate and explain to 2% more.. in time 61% of the population will know.. and 41% will take action, and vote by not funding the war mongers.

Bin Laden asked a Wahabi Mullah for permission to kill
“Up to 10 million people.” The Mullah agreed, provided that Bin Laden “Give them a chance to convert to Islam.” Bin Laden has just done that. The upcoming martyr bio may be that of a new killer via a mushroom cloud.

I mostly agree with Proctor (the only part is that the top 1% of earners pay nearly 36% of all taxes..but hey, I won’t disagree with you on the part we all are paying way too much in taxes for bureaucratic overhead)
This video is doing EXACTLY what it was designed for-DIVIDING US. Everyone wants to pin this on one side or the other: Its your fault, sounds like the Dems, produced by neocons, I want my mommy.
The facts are that since 1993, there have been mistakes and faults on BOTH representatives of parties. However, NOT ONE individual or group has taken up the mantle of “Take Ownership”. Its all fingerpointing, grandstanding, peacocking around til the next ‘tragedy’ occurs. Put aside the ‘who what where when, how’ to blame and rather focus on how to fix things. Very few people in this forum actually posted anything resembling even remotely like a possible solution. Its all whining, crying, fingerpointing, conspiracy theory, hoohahing hogwash.
For those of you worried about 9/11/2007, here are a few steps you can take:
1: Be aware of any changes to your surroundings. This means close the cell phone glued to your ear or give your texting fingers a chance to breathe. If you notice significant changes, report it. Better to ere on the side of caution than not give alert.
2: For those with kids in school, have them coached to listen to their teachers and faculty. This means you have to step away from your evening boob tube or your PC and pay attention to your kids. Listen to them too! They are sure to have questions. Answer them honestly and if you don’t know the answer to something, say that too. Better to do that than bs them.
3: Give yourself a few extra minutes for your commute. No need to get spooked or scared. Just take it easy and in stride.
4: Don’t allow this mockery of a video or any other videos, news, or stories to un-nerve you. These fanatics, media, and government officials love to keep the public scared. Don’t allow it. If you do, then you automatically lose.

In theory, Communism is supposed to give each person the most freedom. However, with the associated definitions to Communism in general today, this is not the case.
In fact, none of the three allow citizens really any freedom. Where one denies one freedom, another allows it. But in the end, all three are freedom stealing philosophies and practices.

Sorry, Barky – “Please don’t respond that Bush is a communist, fascist, etc. He is not, even if one despises the man. Please keep all arguements in reality.” In fact, Bush is, by definition a fascist, because the baseline definition of fascist is that they believe that the elite, rich and powerful should have power over ordinary people. He is the son of an elite, and the grandson of a Nazi sympathizer who violated U.S. law by doing business with Nazi Germany before and during WWII. He has bankrupted our economy to pay billions to his cronies. He has undermined our Constitutional freedoms for the sake of giving more power to corporations. And he has issued “executive orders” that explicitly deny the laws that our elected representatives have passed in our name – on many many occasions, often in secret. Go to the WH website; read his orders that take away YOUR right to know what crime you’ve been charged with if his imperial majesty Bush says so. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck … the man is a fascist.

Well, we have one more year before Bush has had just as much time to rid the world of Osama as Clinton had. Maybe then the conservatives will get that their boy let them down as well. Why is this guy still alive? Six years and why is this man still alive?? Clinton didn’t have the backing of all the citizens to get him – but Bush sure does. Yet they have not. I suspect it is simply because fear sells the conservatives on their policies.

John S. Schafer Sr, where did you get that info in your post? I would like to read it.
It would make sense though. What everyone, Democrat and Republican alike, seems to forget is that this is a religious war. These Islamists are not rational in the way Americans are–they have different goals and priorities than we do. Go to MEMRI and see for yourself. Try looking up Farfour and Nahoul, characters on Palestinian children’s TV shows, and see how they indoctrinate their children. The CIA is good, but not THAT good that it would indoctrinate millions of people into a cult of hatred and murder.

I can see the Dems here are only jealous of his make-up man.
Bin Boy isn’t smart enough to double talk his way into getting a repub elected in 2008. These morons were jumping out from behind cover, allowing our soldiers to mow them down, simply because we used a bullhorn and shouted “muslims hide like women” !
These guys are pure stupid and got the break of their lives 9-11-2001.

Someone with more passion than sense said in an earlier response, “I have had it with the Democrats; they are losers. We need to get this over with and go in and destroy bin laden. No apologies, just do it. This is ridiculous, a bunch of women-hating pre-industrial clowns with AK-47′s thinking they can take the US down. 9-11 happened, and it happened just like it was yesterday. We have not forgotten, and we want bin laden and his band of idiot cut-throats dead.”
Then why attack the Democrats? They were, and are, your best chance to contain Bin Laden and eventually defeat him. If Gore had been allowed to enter the White House (as he should have been if the votes had all been properly counted in 2000) he was going to implement Bill Clinton’s proposal for an air attack on Bin Laden’s Afghan HQ in the early summer of 2001, and 9/11 would never even have happened. We know this, it was brought out in a Newsweek report (later confirmed by all concerned) back in the fall of 2002.
It’s Bush who allowed 9/11 to happen by keeping Clinton’s proposal for a summer 2001 air attack on Al Queda in a forgotten drawer of Condi Rice’s desk, only to dig it out and use it six weeks after it was too late to stop the damage from being done. And it is Bush who squandered our advantage against terror by taking a side trip into Iraq, something which has cost more American lives than 9/11 and given Bin Laden an entry point into the heart of the Middle East which he otherwise would never have had.
Face it, whether he meant to or not, Bush has become effectively Bin Laden’s best friend and strategic ally since the spring of 2001. And if people of like mind are put in power in Washington after January of 2009, our safety and security are simply going to decline even further and Bin Laden will grow stronger. New leaders with a new philosophy and outlook are our best chance, maybe our only chance, to regain the degree of safety, security and global respect we once had but which Bush has frittered away.

Be sure you read the text of Bin Laden’s speech.
Be sure you read the text of Bin Laden’s speech before you believe what anyone tells you about what he says. Now granted there are about two pages dedicated to trying to convert people to Islam but that is not the main thrust of his speech.
He seems, like many in this world, to be very confused and assumes we operate under a capitalistic system here in the U.S.
Many around the world have mistaken the economy we live under to be a capitalist economy. Bin Laden mentions ”capitalism” a few times in his speech and seems to have no idea that America operates under a mixed economic system. Yes, I’m sure this will sound foreign to many of you (my fellow citizens) it is the way our economic system operates.

Can’t wait to see it !! It is coming soon, isn’t it ?
Posted by: Gary | September 10, 2007, 12:50 pm 12:50 pm
Wow, a lot of response to this discussion of UBL. The one incontrovertible fact is that Bush has FAILED to do the one thing he had promised: avenge 9-11 by getting UBL. Millions patiently gave Bush the benefit of the doubt. Many did not even mind when we suspected ulterior motives for getting Saddam — Saddam did try to kill Bushdaddy.
But where is the body or head of UBL. Saddam’s skull is already purported to be in Yale’s Skull and Bones btw.
Repugs can’t have it both ways yet lame Demos still flub their obvious advantage. UBL is still alive and a damning indictment of their vulgarized version of 4GW, epitomizing the failure of strategy and tactics from the Bush team. Smoke ‘em out indeed. Get UBL — the videos are frightening because every new one underscores the crude impotence of team Bush— and what do you expect from a cheerleader but raw, raw, raw.

My aplogies you don’t have to go to the CBS web site to see the crazy lying nut jobs. Just read this post from this site.
Sorry, Barky – “Please don’t respond that Bush is a communist, fascist, etc. He is not, even if one despises the man. Please keep all arguements in reality.” In fact, Bush is, by definition a fascist, because the baseline definition of fascist is that they believe that the elite, rich and powerful should have power over ordinary people. He is the son of an elite, and the grandson of a Nazi sympathizer who violated U.S. law by doing business with Nazi Germany before and during WWII. He has bankrupted our economy to pay billions to his cronies. He has undermined our Constitutional freedoms for the sake of giving more power to corporations. And he has issued “executive orders” that explicitly deny the laws that our elected representatives have passed in our name – on many many occasions, often in secret. Go to the WH website; read his orders that take away YOUR right to know what crime you’ve been charged with if his imperial majesty Bush says so. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck … the man is a fascist.

Agree with Dave… the overwhelming majority of Muslims are not loonies, just like the overwhelming majority of Christians aren’t loonies either.
I think a re-separation of Church and State is in order.
Also… to the folks that are claiming that the Democrats are identical to OBL… Any chance you could actually point out how they are? How the goals are the same? (If your simple answer is that neither one supports Bush, you’re forgetting that Bush is a public servant, not a sovereign, and that dissent against our leaders is allowed by the Constitution, and was encouraged by our founding fathers (who were revolutionaries, NOT ‘patriots’).
I too am a veteran of Desert Storm/Shield. I served to protect the Constitution, not to protect Bush from the people that he should be serving.

pepe said, “Am I alone in thinking Bin Laden isn’t even behind these videos?”
NO! I can’t believe the news media isn’t scrutinizing the SOURCE of these videos. These videos are supposedly released on ‘web sites’.. WHICH WEB SITES?? I am a computer expert, and I know a bunch of them. I, or people I know, could easily track down the source of these videos, if indeed they were really being posted on ‘militant websites’. The fact of the matter is, these videos are not being posted by ‘Al Qaeda’. If they were, the US government would have isolated them and shut them down a LONG time ago. These videos must be the byproduct of a western intelligence agency (CIA, MI6, Mossad, or military intelligence). Some dangerous players are for some reason interested in perpetrating the Bin Laden myth, and I am very worried about ‘why’.
The neo-conservatives desperately want to attack Iran. This WHOLE THING is going to suddenly become about Iran. YOU WATCH. There is propaganda being manufactured right now to deceive the world into yet another war. People must start asking questions and refusing information without the supporting PROOF. I am absolutely ashamed at the way ABCNEWS handles announcing these Bin Laden videos as authentic without so much as doing an hour’s worth of leg worth to verify their authenticity. Look how easy it is to manipulate the US populace.
Posted by: Eric | September 10, 2007, 1:07 pm 1:07 pm
Don’t all these videos look suspiciously manufactured? I mean he’s got a blank background and isn’t moving more than his head. Come on people. Anyone w/ a green wall and basic video editing software can make these.
Am I alone in thinking Bin Laden isn’t even behind these videos?
I wish you were. Frankly any one who actual WAS EDUCATED and knew ANYTHING about video editing would know we have not come THAT far (in faking stuff). These videos are real. He is a real terrorist and he REALLY wants you dead. If you can not except this God help you, or for you athiests, help yourselves.
BTW-to all you conspiracy NUTS out there. People always say “well the government has all this technology way ahead of private companies to fake stuff like this..” REALLY?! Look in less
millions of people are involved in the conspiracy, which would have to mean that the video-editing industry is purposefully holding back what is possible to cover for the government being the only holders of this magic-do everything-editing software. LOOK AT THE FACTS. If you think these videos are
fake you need you head examined and ARE NOT living in reality. PERIOD.

Where was the prosecution fo the people that gave the ’93 cell financial backing and logistical training? Where was the prosecution of the terrorists and their money men who plotted the USS Cole and African Embassies’ attacks? True, Bush did not go after the money behind the 2001 attacks as well. Maybe it is because both Bush & Clinton’s investigators found out the house of Saud is bankrolling all this? Then what do we do? Rather than partisan chitter, really think rather than spew talking points. You can’t have terror operations without money and training. Cut those off ad the operations die.

Hegemon is holding by one state of a preponderance of power in the international system, so that it can single handedly dominate the rules and arrangements by which international political and economic relations are conducted. Hegemon means domination of the world, but sometimes it refers to regional domination.

Posted by: dsotm | September 10, 2007, 2:05 pm 2:05 pm
Ha! We’ll never catch him. The government NEEDS him. They need him so that there is a constant fear in us and that way they can tighten their grip on us by slowly taking away our freedoms all in the name of anti-terrorisim! Mind you…..9/11 was an inside job…or at least known about by the government and nothing done to prevent it.

It makes no difference if Bush or a coward like Kerry or Clinton is in office.

Democracy cannot exist without the free exchange of rational, meaningful ideas. To call Democrats terrorists and pervert the actual exchange of ideas is doing more harm to democracy than bin Laden ever could. Since Republicans are chiefly responsible for this type of corruption of democracy, they are the biggest terrorists of all.

Osama said there were two solutions, one that his people will do and one that our people should do.
His people are suppose to keep on killing and fighting us.
But I wasn’t clear what we were suppose to do? He really didn’t have a solution, it just seems like he’s saying, I’m just going to go on killing and fighting Americans.

Come on. Seriously. Do you righties REALLY think the Democrats are hell-bent on failure? And do you lefties really think the Republicans are orchestrating OBL appearances for political gain? Please. The posts on this page show, unscientifically of course, why we can’t come to any kind of consensus about what we’re doing in this war on terror. There’s no cooperation. No trust. No respect. We bemoan that congress can’t get anything done, but in that respect it looks like they’re acting as a truly representative body: as constituents, we can’t get along — so they can’t either.
Posted by: Rich | September 10, 2007, 2:33 pm 2:33 pm
Did it not occur to you that the video was INTENDED to read like something written by the democrats in order to discredit them/associate OBL with them? The video was most likely produced by people working for the Republican neo-cons.

. I don’t believe we should decrease our forces, I think we should bring SOME of our boys home to defend the homeland. Not discharge them. I do believe the war will be fought on our own soil and it will be a somewhat civil war because the terrorists might already be people we have known for years. I don’t care what political party you all belong to…we all must look at what is happening to our country instead of being divided and our attentions diverted. Yes there is political corruption. Always has been. But the truth of the matter is that we already have been attacked back on 9/11 and we continue to be threatened by these terrorist nations. Our freedom is being taken away little by little by our fears.

And Freddie, I am a Bush supporter and do believe he has saved us from having another attack on US soil. It doesn’t keep me from feeling paranoid about future threats that may come to be. Millions of Muslims want us dead and I’m sure they aren’t going to stop any time soon no matter what political party is in office in the US.

There is a reason this video was released now, 423 days before the election. It is because Obama bin Laden needs the face time in the media if he is going to win the Democratic Presidential Nomination over Clinton.

“I wonder if Bin Laden will have more of the Democrats’ talking points included in this speech.”
real keen observation – but just like three steel skyscrapers collapsing at near-freefall speed on the same day in almost the same fashion, that’s probably just another coinky-dink.

Bin Laden is just a clown. Every time the Bush administration needs a boost or it’s election time again, mister Laden pops up and starts broadcasting. Not so long ago daddy Bush did a lot of business with him, just as his father, Prescott, did business with Adolf Hitler. Google for it if you don’t believe it.
The Afghanistan and Iraq wars are solely based upon 9/11. But why did the third building, WTC7, collapse with the speed of gravity? Because of some office fires? No way. It went down in about 10 seconds, just as fast as a controlled demolition. And it was just that. Logically, 9/11 was an inside job and the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were started on false grounds. Iraq has oil and KBR and Halliburton and all the others make tons of money there. But why Afghanistan? It has no oil. But then again, just ask yourself why Russia went to war in Afghanistan – twice. And why the brave Mujaheddin America once supported suddenly turned into very bad Taliban dudes. The truth is out there. Wake up, America.

Someone tell me this: if they know when the tape will be released, who is going to release it, and when, then why can the best military and spy’s in the world not be able to trace this back to the source? Unbelievable.
At breakfast this morning, everyone at the table said they did not believe the new BL video was anything but a fake. These are all republican folks in my area. I think this is just too convenient. If anyone really thinks that BL really knows the Dem talking points, they need to see a shrink.
It is interesting that this DEAD guy can be so easily resurrected just when the administration needs a boost.

You may remember in my earlier posting regarding the following show coming to NBC:
Rumor has it that NBC is working on a new show that they think may help in the capture of Bin Laden…”To Catch a Terrorist” to be a part of NBC’s Fall Lineup. Chris Hansen is at it again. Must See TV is back!
Information regarding the shows content has been slowly leaking out. Terrorists believe they are chatting with a 14 year old online. The talk gets kind of steamy when they start chatting about rocket-propelled grenades, rocket launchers, and biological weapons. The terrorist is lured to a “safe house” expecting to meet the 14 year old when out steps Chris Hansen…”I hear you wanted to see an RPG?”

However, the older I get, the more I see the lines between Republicans and Democrats are blurred. Of course, there are the 3 or 4 major issues that could differintiate the 2 sides, but on the whole they are all the same.
Think it is a coincidence that this country is divided almost in 2 politically? Think again.

Osama Bin Hidin’ produces worse films than Michael Moore. He’s not scary anymore. He’s not even pathetic. He’s a has-been, and that’s very, very sad for Radical Islam. A big fraud and that was all they had – aside from the loud-mouthed Manson look-alike in Tehran. The bogeyman wears pink satin. He was Al Quada’s Ace, and he has lost his fastball.

For all we know he could be in a suite hotel room in Dubai. We are guessing where he is. They even have a group of Al Queada who have put out the info that a military unit was close to Osama bin Laden to the point that they might have to kill him. The USA and its people won’t get the satisfaction of putting him on trial. He knows he is dead if we get too close. No closure for those who lost their loved ones on 9-11.

Listen we know and the whole world knows what happened on 9/11. Lee Harvey Oswald brought down both of those towers with a single round firing from the New York State Book Depository building in Lower Manhattan. After faking his own death he was picked up in a pink Caddy by Elvis, the first American Taliban, where they left for the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan. To this day they still wake up and jam on “That’s Alright Mama” with none other than OBL – a great rockabilly guitarist in his own right before he got into the jihad business. Facts are facts!facts.

9/11 was bad but most Americans don’t know or all of them don’t know why Bin-laden dislikes us.One reason might be because we fund the Saudi Arabian monarchy which is and oppressive government. While the princes live in their palaces the citizens barely have anything. Another possible reason is because the American Empire bully’s people within the middle east and sticks it’s nose were it doesn’t belong. The only way I can think of to stop Bin-laden from disliking us it pull out the whole Middle East completely or embrace Islam. Which one would you choose?

We would capture Sheikh Osama bin Laden, if we could get a green light from the USA. Our detective work, human intelligence and IT integration are effective indeed. We could even spotted the nukes that flew over the US airspace recently before the government knew about it.

I want to know his position on the invasion of Iraq. Did he vote for it before he voted against it? Or does he support a continued American presence?

These videos are so silly. Why worry about some video these Al Qaeda extremist freaks are recording? Who knows and who cares if that really is OBL? Let’s worry about something with substance and we know is real – the actual wars where people are dying everyday in Iraq and Afghanistan. The chaos that has taken over Iraq. We see enough footage of that each day to know it’s real. These videos are just a platform for these guys to spew their garbage because they know us Americans will get their panties all bunched up about it. Whatever party you are, let’s just be concerned with getting these wars over with.

Bin Laden referenced AlQaeda in Iraq and Afghanistan without distinguishing between the two.
How is it that the left thinks we are only fighting (US created) “insurgents” and “freedom fighters” in Iraq, when AlQaeda’s grand poobah confirms his minions are there, as well as in Afghanistan, fighting us?
On the side…I find it sad that the left does not recognize that their talking points are almost identical to AlQaeda’s.
Is it ignorance, or denial?
Or could the left be practicing taqiyyah?

Dem: “Republicans are bad.”
Rep: “Nuh-uh. Democrats are bad.”
Dem: “Nuh-uh. You are.”
Rep: “Yes-huh. You are.”
Dem: “Are not.”
Rep: “Are too.”
Terrorists: “Mission complete!”
Would you egomaniacal party-liners cut out your squabbling for a couple of days so we can protect our country, for crying out loud! I swear, you’re worse than my kids, and they’re in preschool…

Waleed al Shehri has been reported to be alive by the BBC and other US media outlets, he’s been proven to still be alive. Why would Osama reference him? Doesnt make sense!

Why do we have a picture of this idiot on the front page of the site? We should not make him a news item, this is what those losers want.
This should be a day of rememberence. The sight of this idiot, makes me physically ill, about as ill as looking at W floundering.

What manner of coward hides out in the mountains and calls on other people to martyr themselves? Do you really think you are irreplaceable, Bin Laden? Step out and lead the fight like a real man!

Hi everybody,
Six years to the day of the attacks on our country, I sit here, reading the comments on this site, I wonder if, through everything, OBL and his followers have gained more ground than we thought.
I am a Republican, and a staunch supporter of President Bush and our troops. Even so, I can’t understand the hatred that is coming between our political parties. Someone called for another civil war. Is that truly what we need? For brother to take up arms against brother, to tear our country apart again?
I know that dissent is important. I don’t agree with everything Bush has done. But I don’t understand how (from my side) our brothers on the Democrat side of the aisle can argue for something like the complete withdrawal of our troops. I want them home, too! I don’t want our men and women to die anymore! But how will that make our ocuntry – our world – any safer? It will just create a vacuum for more violence to enter.
Please, everyone, take a step back and realize what is best for this country!
Sincerely,
Angie C.
Phoenix, AZ

Dear Dems…
Osama and you are the same. Just read your own words and then read his.
Traitors, all of you.

Now is the time to quit bickering and fighting. Today is Sept. 11th, and it aint about you, its about the 3,000 Americans who are no longer with us because of Has-Bin-Lewdin.
Get over yourself and honor those who have fallen. God Bless the USA.

Shatter the left right paradigm and think like an American that has to protect a Republic. No one else will do it for us. Google: Gulf of Tonkin Or Operation Northwoods.

OUR NEWS MEDIA LOVES TO GIVE BIN LADEN AIR TIME…..
Posted by: Freddie | September 11, 2007, 11:36 am 11:36 am
Holy cow listen to this everyone. Read what you are saying about each other and your political beliefs. Nearly every post professes to be from an American and yet denies the thought that anyone with a different opinion could be an American. Political rhetoric is how we used to get things done in this country, dissagree then compromise. Yes Dems/Libs Bush has screwed some things up in this war. Second guessing from the sidelines is a very easy thing to do when the proof you are more correct than anyone else doesnt exist. OBL for all his medical history is probably dead. People with his issues cant hide in caves with no electricity for more than a few days. Cheney got us in this war to keep his stocks soaring, and Bush got us in to keep oil prices down, Clinton probably ignored OBL to appease Bush, Oh yeah one more Bush probably planted the explosives himself in the world trade center, it only makes sense since keeping the thousands of people involved quiet if he hired it out to another company would be impossible. Did I miss any of the conspiracies? Look people want to be informed then read and do your research turn off survivor or lost or whatever other entertainment show you watch for 1 hour every night. Pick something that interested you in the daily news and question it. Follow it through if one person says your sources are junk, he’s probably mad you had the nerve to question the legitimacy of his newsworthy item/event. If a lot of people question your research then ask for their sources. You may learn something or even God forbid teach something in the process. Bring this country back from the screaming lunatics that want to be in power. Question everything your parties are telling you so you may be better able to form your own opinions. In nearly 50 yrs of life it has been my experience that when somene is constantly ranting and yelling about another or a group of others they are trying their best to focus attention away from themselves in order to hide something.

There are over 2,700 of our fellow citizens who should still be here with us on the sixth anniversary of their murders. As an American citizen and, above all, as a human being, I want Osama caught, questioned, and converted to Christianity.

I think it is really time for the major news organizations to think about not airing so heavily tapes and comments from Al Queda or Bin Laden. Imagine how his ego swells and how great they are feeling to know that if he releases a tape of any sort, American mainstream media breaks into shows, emails all of their viewers, and makes sure that tape is aired on the evening news. wow. I think it would be much better for any tapes he sends to be sent to our intelligence agencies and that’s all. They need to analyze those things. I think it gives too much credibiility, recognition and reward for us to drop everything to listen to what he says. He’s a thug. Come on ABC News – think about it.

I get real tired reading about all of this. Do any of you know, or even met any of the Bin Laden family? Well, I have. This has nothing to do with any of the Bin Laden family or any thing to do with WOMD as most of you already know. As has been mentioned here, it is about OIL, period. Do any of you know why we went after Sadam? If you do you also know why this is about oil. He was about ready to tell OPEC to go to hell and flood the market with CHEAP oil. And our administration can not have that at all, no way is VP going to allow that…priod

If the CIA confirms the tape is real we should believe it’s true, right ?
