New OBL Tape: Iraq, Democratic Control

This rhetoric sounds like it comes right out of a Michael Moore movie. What the hell is going on here? We need to find Osama Bin Laden and wipe him out. The world would be a safer place without him.

i’m confused by the fake beard

The only thing scarier than another Bin Laden tape are the responding comments from jingoistic right wing nuts who want to do things like start posses. AL Qaeda could never do the damage to the US that the neocons have done to us. In just a few short years we have gone from being the “light on the hill” to being occupiers and torturers – the brave Americans who died for the true meaning of this country must be spinning in their graves.

what an idiot….

Bin Laden’s been dead for years they’ll drag his bones out before the election

Mr. Bin Laden always seems to pop up just when the White House needs him most to distract the American people from what’s really going on. And the fake beard? Try fake video– if Youtubers can produce special effects to rival Geroge Lucas on a Mac, how hard do you think it is for the government, backed by the latest in technology, to do the same with some old Bin Laden footage? Just for once, consider the source of all this media alarmist propaganda, and ask yourselves– who benefits? Not any of us, that’s for sure.

What are we to do?
The 2 party system has done nothing for the people of the U.S. to catch this person, he is still alive after 9-11. Force is the only thing Al Qaeda knows and understands. Al Qaeda knows we dont have the stomach to fight!!
Aaron

So if we convert to Islam our taxes go to 2.5%?

Bin Laden speaks some truth: “you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven’t made a move worth mentioning.” What a shocker. And let’s not forget why he’s still here…9/11 was the culmination of plans made during the previous 8 yrs. – WTC 1993. Hillary is the answer, no doubt.

Transcript — Osama slams Dems for failing to end war, praises Chomsky, calls for end of democracy

From HotAir:
[] it’s an absolute article of faith on the left that Bin Laden wants us in Iraq, has always wanted us in Iraq, and will continue to want us in Iraq to give him a casus belli with which to recruit.
And yet:
Sources tell ABC News t…

The only way to defeat right-wing and left-wing communist as-well-as religious nut of all branches and forms is a civilian-based defense based on non-violence, read Gandhian satyagraha.
While maintaining a view that these people are human we, as a nation, can actively resist them and stop the political and fiscal war against the American people.

At least we know, once again, which party Al Qaida endorses.
Just keep repeating, Dems:
The real war is not in Iraq,
The real war is not in Iraq,
The real war is not in Iraq….

Yea, Yea, Yea let him toot his horn and shout his message, but in the end we know who will win the battle. Only the peaceful, Freedom embrasing,and truthful nations of the World who believe in Freedom without Dictatorship will survive but all others will try to brain wash the less fortunite people into believing their way is the only way to live under opression. The sooner we get Bin Laden and his mind twisted followers under lock and key the World will become a better place to enjoy for all.His poisen has extended onto every contenent but it takes time to purge the World of such vermon but it will come if we stand United. I hope all Americans around the World will fly their Flag proudly on 9/11 and be United against opession and terrorism as we did so proudly after 9/11

No seriously…the Feds can zero in on a sexual predator over the Internet but cannot find one shoeless man in a desert who still manages to put out more videos than Beyonce!!!
This is absolutely insane! To think these Neoconvicts actually believe the American people are stupid enough to fall for the Bin Laden tapes and the color-coded terror alerts is totally offensive!!!
I am an American and I am not afraid!!!

Are some of you so dense that you can’t see whats right before your eyes? That picture is clearly NOT Bin Laden.

As the elections draw near, and scandals continue to ravage the GOP, it is no wonder the boogey man is back in the form of bin Laden. He makes such timely appearances in order to frighten the sheep. People need to wake up to the daily manipulation and propaganda that is spewed forth by our “leaders” on a daily basis. The death tolls in Iraq are being skewed! Sunni on Sunni and Shiite on Shiite crimes are not even counted! Victims shot in the back of the head are victims of terror groups, if shot in the back of the head their deaths are also not counted in the “official toll”. There is no reason to pay any attention to the Petraeus report, as all of the numbers have been skewed in our “favor”, enabling our troops to remain and more innocent Americans to be killed. And all in the words of W “to maintain a sustained presence in the Middle East.”

The thing to keep in mind is that regardless of who made the tape, it is propaganda.
PROPAGANDA.
Propaganda always has a purpose and the purpose here is pretty well evident. The maker of the tape wants a strong reaction by conservatives against the Democrats. The maker provokes this reaction by mouthing issues of no concern to Al Qaeda (the Kyoto treaty?), but which are supported by the democratic candidates. At the same time, this rhetoric is designed to disaffect liberals from the Democratic party by portraying it as weak and ineffective. This portrayal is mirrored for Americans in general, by decrying the inability to oust Bush in 04 (recall that shortly prior to the election, a similar tape was released).
The net effect of this rhetoric is to strengthen Republicans and weaken Democrats.
Why would the maker of the tape want to do so?
Any thoughts?

Jim, my numbers don’t come from the DNC, in fact I don’t take my marching orders from any particular committee or organization. Unlike you, I am an independent thinker. The facts are out there, but you have to do some actual research. The fact is, the government is not providing the public with accurate death tolls, and we are still being mislead about the supposed “progress in Iraq”.

While reading your comments i got the impression that finally americans seem to grow up and cease to believe in fairy-tales of national pride, exept of some unbelievable-stupid adolescent-forever boys, who refuse to look at reality. That is: America is at a point of development, we in Europe have passed 70 years ago. Wake up and learn from history and recognize, that democracy in America at this moment is not worth to mention. Where is your opposition?

Sounds like Osama is auditioning for a spot on Air America.

Mike- Osama has a lot more in common with Rush Limbaugh than anyone on the left.

Osama is campaigning for Bush again, just like in 2004, and the dittoheads eat it up -again! OBL is messing with your heads the way you think the ‘liberal media’ does. Anyone who believes Rush is clearly gullible. Bush is OBL’s best friend, his incompetence has kept OBL alive all these years and helped the jihad go world wide. With Bush and the Republicans in office the big concern is war profits so OBL is good for business. No questions asked till Dems won in 2006.

So, the ones looking forward to the end of the Bush Admin and voting in Dems:
Are you going to vote for a person who swears to find Osama?
Are you going to vote for someone who cleans up messes that are made?
Will be get out of Japan, Germany, S.Korea before we leave Iraq?

I fail to see the difference between the talking points of Bin Laden and the talking points of the American Democratic Party. It’s as if they are reading the same play book.

HE IS DEAD, DEAD, DEAD….THIS IS A PHONY VIDIO TO KEEP HIS HENCHMEN THINKING HE IS ALIVE BUT HE IS DEAD. IF HE WERE REALLY ALIVE HE WOULD PROVE THAT BY SHOWING HIS FACE EVERY FEW DAY WITH SOMETHING SHOWING THE DATE. THIS IS A FRAUD.

It sucks that he’s right. I am no terrorist (thus my disagreement with the war in Iraq) but I’d take this idiot’s rant over the crap that keeps spewing out of the white house, any day of the week.

If Bin Laden blew up New York City, the American liberals would just blame it on Karl Rove.

Wow – he and the Democratic leaders have the EXACT same talking points! Why doesn’t that give Bush haters some pause?
Oh, and there are taxes in Islam. They’re called Dhimmi, and the unbelievers must pay them or face execution.

His rants sould just like Pelosi, Reid Schumer, Kerry, etc. Maybe they wrote this.

What a lot of bluster……
Osama is a cat without claws. Embrace Islam, indeed.

OK – I, for one am ready for all of this to be over. I will embrase Islam, and have my 2.5% in the Bank as I write this. Where do I do so?

Let the dems run him next year, once again, they’ll scream ‘THIEF!!’

Why doesn’t he just die already!!!!

Low taxes, global warming, anti-war… is ubl trying to triangulate? He’s sounding like Ron Paul, though using reverse psychology, I suspect he wants a neo conservative type leader who will continue to wage war against the middle east, thus strenthening his recruiting efforts. Knowing no american listens to a word he says and reacts in the opposite direction, he feeds a message to repel anti war americans towards the right.

I’ve got it! Rove really resigned so he could could go to work for OBL!
This little bit of propaganda is right out of the Republican playbook!

THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO SCREAM (DON’T YOU QUESTION MY PATRIOTISM AS THEY EMBOLDEN OUR ENEMY’S!

Sadly, as much as I support the War on Terror, and our Commander-in-Chief, the threat looming over our nation and our allies is very real.
I also fear that our Department of Homeland Security tends to try and brush off these threats with more alacrity and dispatch than ever before. Which indicates that they want to keep the real potential for fear at bay among US citizens, or they are just not quite sure and feel responsible to keep us feeling safe and not alarmed.
Either way, I have an uneasy feeling that our time is running out again. When will something happen? Hard to tell and it could be a year, or two, yet for all we know they have planned.
In any event, they are patient, loathing and full of hatred of anything Western. Embracing Islam is a way for OBL to raise the ire of our Judeo-Christian roots. He knows how to get our goat despite hiding his.
Be alert, be cautious and vigilant. Our very open society, despite all the liberal rhetoric of President Bush turning our country into a nation lacking any personal privacy with new federal laws aimed at protecting the homeland, is really our ultimate demise. The Islamic radicals and Al Qaeda are in our country and are waiting to strike. Our only way to win is to keep fighting, keep our faith in ourselves and in protecting our allies and above all never let the evil-doers get the upper hand. Fight back each time and hit them harder. We CANNOT give up this fight at the expense of a dismal future for the moral and peaceful coexistence of humankind.
VOTE FRED THOMPSON FOR PRESIDENT 2008!

“The NEOCONS are scarier than OBL….there is a conspiracy…BOOOO!” I want to start a tinfoil hat business, so the government can’t read liberals’ thoughts anymore. I’d make ten million at least.

Just watch the democrats start with the kook talk about how Bin Laden is working for the GOP!

I love Bin Laden. I’d suck his desert dick anytime.

As a conservative, I plan to vote strictly democrat this next round. That will be the only way to get the revolution rolling. Let’s get this party started….

As a conservative, I plan to vote strictly democrat this next round. That will be the only way to get the revolution rolling. Let’s get this party started….

I wonder when Hillary is going to ask Osama for a donation to her campaign…or maybe he could be her VP..he says all the same things she and the other Democratic Candidates, he has a lot of foreign affairs experiance…he has proven defense experiance…I’m waiting fot him to moderate the next Daily Kos Democratic Debate!! Did you notice that you have never seen George Soros and Bin Laden in the same room?

WOW! These liberals scare the heck out of me! If you hate America so much and don’t want to fight for our freedom, why dont YOU go find UBL? Worthless, mind-numbing idiots!

I like OBL cause he reminds me of a goat. I like goats and stuff.

This is just Karl Rove in a fake beard.

He supports lower taxes? I don’t think the Democratic party will embrace him too soon…
Maybe this revelation will finally enrage the Democrats enough to the point that we may actually win this thing. “How dare he suggest lower taxes!” Oh, the irony!

Osama is a moderate Democrat!!!

This is just Karl Rove in a fake beard.

OMG, this “conservative” has converted! Let’s all follow this conservative and get “the revolution” — i.e. ignoring terrorists and surrendering on a Carter-esque scale!

ROFLMAO!!!! Osamy for President! HAHAHAHA!! What an insane lunatic just like libs! All talk, no guts. Golbal warming will Osamy before libs do.

Does all this complaining of Democrats in the comments make George Bush a better president?

OMG!!!! He sounds like the Poster Boy for the Democrat Party.
This could end up doing far more damage to the Democrats then one might suspect.
“You are either with us, or the terrorists” -George W. Bush
Sounds to me that the Democrats have a new spokeperson.

Slow do everyone. Lets think about this. No taxes, I think i can give up pork for no taxes

Well, a 2.5% flat tax. That is better than the R or D party. Is Osama going to announce on the Tonight Show? Of course, their infrastracture is low maintenance. Bridge collapse? Well, there are no bridges. Health care, well if you live that is good, if not it is God’s will. On the other hand, I bet they have no trial lawyers….

Guess Chris Wallace was right – the Dems (dhims?) ARE getting thier marching orders from bin Laden!!! Support terror! Vote Democrat! HAHA Rove, you magnificent bastard!

As Eric {Sep 7, 2007 2:47:03 PM} referred to, I too believe this video was fabricated as part of a misinformation campaign. However, it was created not by the political right or their anti-Islamic theocracy allies, rather by their political opponents, such as communists, Marxists, socialists, authoritarians, and dictators around the world.

Land of the FREE, home of the BRAVE!!!
Not land of the wiretapped, home of the scared.
You support the erosion of our liberty’s for your temporary feeling of safety. You people should learn to love it or leave it.

The Iraq war, illegal immigration, and various other battles between conservatives and liberals all highlight one thing for me — the failure of doing things halfway. We are not doing enough to “win” in Iraq, yet at the same time, we are doing more than enough to inflame the Muslim world and to cause liberal outrage. Similarly, with regard to illegal immigration, we are not doing enough to actually solve the problem, yet that which we do is branded as oppressive and unfair. I personally tend to lean toward the conservative side on most issues, and am incredibly frustrated by these half-arse policies. If you choose to fight in Iraq, you need to do enough to win. Similarly, if you’re going to have borders and maintain your sovereignty as a nation, you must actually enforce your immigration laws. If you are not going to do these things, you really must follow the liberal strategy of appeasement and weakness, since they are the only hope that one would have. Doing things halfway — taking all of the blame, paying huge amounts of money, making citizens go through ridiculous security measures while not engaging in the obviously effective strategy of racial and ethnic profiling, and nonetheless being branded as ruthless and oppressive while obtaining virtually none of the desired results — clearly does not work. All are angry, our budgets are blown, and we have little to show for it. Either do what it takes to win or, alternatively, build mosques in Iowa and open up the border completely. Halfway never works.

Here’s an idea: maybe Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama/John Edwards/Nancy Pelosi can use this video in their next fundraising call.
After all, the guy sounds more like a Democrat than the Democrats do.

Hey bin Laden, don’t blame all of the American people…49% of us didn’t vote for the 3 stooges.

SNL needs to do a pardody of this.
Put a turban and beard on Will Farrell and have him play Bin Laden, only Will can speak in an American accent.
It would be hilarious.

ABC News Obtains Transcript of Osama Bin Laden Tape

Elusive Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden vows to step up the battle to end the war in Iraq in a new video which contains references suggesting it was made recently to a transcript of the video obtained by ABC News, bin Laden apparently says there are two…

I want to hear more about the low taxes in Islam … 2.5%! This guy may really be a Republican in disguise.
And yes, I’m just kidding …

I just found this great site to buy Bin Laden Wanted Dead or Alive Buttons, T-Shirts.

Finally it is clear that democRATs are 100% in sync with Al Qaida whether this tape is fake or not.

THIS IS A JOKE. THIS COUNTRY IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. YOU ALL NEED TO WAKE UP.

I object to the defamation of Monty Python. They would do Osama much better than this.

Lets stop hitting at the President & try working together

In response to Eric | Sep 7, 2007 2:47:03 PM – What you say is so true. I will add, however that to think that the Democrats are any better than the Republicans is what the true puppet masters wich us to believe. All of our elected official’s strings are pulled by the big corporations and the corporations strings by the financial moguls whose ultimate goal is to have a one world government. Their great plan took on a great momentum in 1913-17 when congress illegally imposed the federal income tax on Americans. This has allowed the men behind the curtains to financially roll both parties. It’s a no win situation for us Americans at this point.

Who is Jerry Lewis???

Chavez, Castro, and Iran’s nut-men-a-job all endorse Hitlery Rotten Klinton for President too.

Title should have read:
“New OBL (D-Afganistan) Tape: Iraq, Democratic Control”

Eric, that posted at 2:47, you need to get in touch with reality! Your loosing it!

ABC NEWS says: you can see the traniscript by clicking here.
And then proceeds to spend the rest of the article talking about thening not even included in their puny one-page ‘transcript’
SHAME ON YOU ABC! Now Link to the whole transcript!!

Why is this so hard to understand? OBL and his followers have openly declared themselves as enemies of the United States and clearly stated their intentions of killing us (including women and children).
Furthermore, he is joined by the likes of Amadinijad who boasts his progress towards a nuclear weapon.
We do not need any more intelligence. Just take them at THEIR word.
The West is in a religious war with Islam. There can be no peace until a reformation occurs within Islam and the radicals are rejected.
Until then, we must clearly state our intentions to ruthlessly wipe these enemies off the planet and follow through with our actions. The rest of the world may disagree with our tactics, but no one should doubt our motives.
We toppled the Nazis and the Japanese in 4 tears with ruthless efficiency. We must do the same here. No apologies for GITMO, collateral damage, or living conditions in the Middle East. The seeds were sowed in the Middle East and that is where the devastation should be reaped.

It is Obvious that we have only One recourse in dealing with the ENEMIES of the USA. That being the REELECTION of GEORGE W BUSH FOR A THIRD TERM!!! If FDR could be elected 4 times, so can George W Bush, Fair is Fair! Not only woudl GWB Finally drive OBL out of His Mind and cause him to make a mistake that would enable to find & kill him, but it woudl also cause a Mass EXODUS of the LUNATIC LEFT WING here in the Good Ole USA!!!
Thus Saving AMERICANS FROM ALL OF THE REAL ENEMIES OF FREEDOM!!!

I always knew liberals were the enemy within. Now we all have proof!

I guess it is OK to side with Al Qaida if you are as sick as today’s liberal.
After all, Osama hate’s Bush too, and that makes him ok

The news media summary implies Rumsfeld should be punished for his role in Iraq but the actual transcript refers to Rumsfeld as a Vietnam war criminal and tells truthfull that the same guys have been ruling and ruining what is best about the United States for decades with different figureheads. I’m not certain the person who wrote the news media summary bothered to read the transcript because that’s a big error in reporting.

WOW – sounds like a viable dark-horse candidate for the dem’s. Obama Who? I’ll take the tax cuts – ehh but I still want my Freedom icehole.
All you “conservatives” who’re going to vote strictly democrat next round, were never conservative – you and your ilk just don’t get it because your either secular puppets or liberal religionists that don’t wanna o f f e n d anyone. Oh yeah I know about that “all fudementalism is the same” tripe, but christians only knock on doors – not force citizens to convert or DIE (in Egypt right now “knock of death” is being perpetrated on many innocent non-radical islamic people.

How many Marines does it take to lower the flag? None, it takes Congress to do that…

Liberalism – a threat to humanity

jben, the transcript is in it’s entirety…it’s a five page .pdf file…damn, Americans are stupid…

Kill ‘em all and let God sort them out!

Wow, Osama is all about low taxes and religion? I never knew he was Republican. Go figure.

WOW – sounds like a viable dark-horse candidate for the dem’s. Obama Who? I’ll take the tax cuts – ehh but I still want my Freedom icehole.

He Who Must Not Be Named

Looks like we have a video by He Who Must Not Be Named, according to ABC.
Quite frankly, I could care less about what he has to say.  It is nothing new.
Mr. Not Be Named did, however, get me thinking about Christianity and Islam.  After all, I hear…

Truth is OBL is having to earn a living as a ghost speech writer for most of the Democrat Presidential candidates.

Jeff,
What is the number that you consider “droves of citizens dying halfway around the world”?
If I remember correctly, we really just surpassed the number that died on 9/11 on our own soil. And of course you do not mention the number of Psychotic Muslims we have sent to their “reward” by being over there. How hard is it to understand the benefit of not having to fight them over here? Do you think if we had done nothing they would have been content to stop at 9/11. That would have been an irresponsible and idiotic response.
By the way, I think you will be surprised how that supposed conservative minority magically grows back to its normal size come election time.

I think Bin Laden is definitely frightened that the Republicans will not get elected next time around. He needs the Republicans in power because the actions that they take lead ordinary muslims to become radicalized. Without Bush and his ilk Bin Laden loses support in the Middle East.

ben laden is good for the democratic party… he should run for president and enter one of their debates…. sounds like one of them.. biden and clinton!!!He is good for their party

ben laden is good for the democratic party… he should run for president and enter one of their debates…. sounds like one of them.. biden and clinton!!!He is good for their party

I just saw where this flake is actually out-polling the Democrat Candidates, the Clinton hit machine has to take care of this! They don’t want democracy, they want communism, not Islam. And the last people to talk to about taxes is a Dem. They never met a tax they didn’t like.

UBL says there’s “no taxes in Islam.” Neither is there in Christianity or Judaism. Or any other faith, as far as I know. The West has the Beatles, iMACs and Ferraris. What’s he got again?

I watch and hear the news everyday. I read comments like these that are posted by people. I can’t help but wonder how this country will survive. We have become weak, dependent, lazy, ignorant and ultra sensitive to all the wrong things. And what’s worse is that the political parties, the media, the pundits and the politicians keep it all stirred up to serve their selfish purposes. We have taken our eye off the ball America and we are vulnerable. We are at risk of running the whole thing right into the ground, of squandering away an incredible opportunity that was paid for with blood, sweat and tears. Despite the gains we have made and the wrongs that we have righted since the 60s, I am ashamed of what we have become. From what I see on the TV and hear on the radio honor, decency, integrity, descretion, discipline, ultruism, and common sense all seem to be in short supply. Forget global warming folks, this country won’t last long enough in it’s present form to worry about it.

After 9/11, bin Laden received sharp criticisms from Islamist scholars that dealt with the al-Qaeda chief’s failure to satisfy several religious requirements pertinent to waging war. The critique focused on three items: (1) insufficient warning; (2) failure to offer Americans a chance to convert to Islam; and (3) inadequate religious authorization to kill so many people. Bin Laden accepted these criticisms and in mid-2002 began a series of speeches and actions to remedy the shortcomings and satisfy his Islamist critics before again attacking in the United States.
Think he’s not making sure his checklist is complete this time??

thanks OBL, but I’ll continue to pay taxes instead of feeling obligated to strap a bomb on and kill some of those darn Jews and the people that like them, okay?

Wow!! I cannot believe the anti-americanism that is allowed to be posted on this site. To you people that are spoon-fed the anti-american liberal media bias, you need to get a clue. read something else for a change, get a second oppinion.
Our prestigous, most powerful and glorious country is nothing to be upset about. Terrorism is REAL! OBL is REAL! These people will try anything to kill us and convert us to their perverted version of Islam. Iraq is a front to fight this fanatical idealism. They are here and they are waiting. All you people can sit behind your nice computer, in your air conditioned houses and talk such a big game. I just hope that when the time comes again, you can come back to the right side of the isle and become A TRUE AMERICAN!! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!

I find it interesting that OBL would take a shot at the tax and mortgage situation in the US. He seems to be condemning the whole of America, yet he is attempting to recruit new followers among it’s citizens with his rhetoric about joining Islam.
I would like to propose a different point of view on the beard, it doesn’t quite look like a fake beard to me. Rather it looks like he had to shave his beard, perhaps to sneak out of the mid-east. Now he is regrowing his beard, which is why this beard is shorter and obviously dyed.
OBL is without a doubt in my mind still alive. If he were dead it would be impossible to hide, his death would have created a vacuum in the world of AQ, there would have been a power grab and AQ would have a new leader to give video taped speeches.

Everbody should STOP and look at the big picture. Americans are consistently having the wool pulled over their eyes by our government – with the help of the media of course. War makes money. It is in the big corporation’s interest to prolong war. The ultimate goal being to get the whole of humanity into thinking like us – Americans. Pay taxes. Isn’t that why we declared our independence from the tyranny of Britain? This nations forefathers would roll in their graves if they knew what this nation has become and to know that we condone the control we have given our government of the most basic freedom that we possess – our minds.

Bin Laden /Clinton 2008!
Hes got the Dem Platform down, and he is actually brighter than the current slate of Democrat Presidential contenders!
You Libtards just need to convert to Islam and he will run!
LMAO

Weekend at Osama’s? Is it me or does he look dead in that picture? Pumped full of embalming fluid or something. Black beard? Is he a pirate? Come on! The person in that picture is dead.

To all those Conspiracy Theorists out there: Anyone who believes that the 9-11 attacks were “an inside job” is a fool. You give the government WAY too much credit. You think that the same federal government that screwed up the response to Hurricane Katrina was capable of executing and covering up a scheme of this grand scale?! Get real. Bush’s “deer in the headlights” expression upon being given the news of the 9-11 attack is all the proof I need to know that he was just as surprised as the rest of us.

I think it’s cute when liberals get all flustered when someone leaves out the “ic” from Democratic. I think there is plenty of “ic” in the Democrat party to go around. Bin Laden and every other wacky lib job are peas in a pod. The natterings are equally incoherent.

Bin Laden = Bush Hatred = democRATs

It looks like Bin Laden is the Fred Thompson of the Democratic Party! I wonder when he’ll release his formal announcement for his candidacy?

wow did someone really just say the war in Iraq has diminished the threat of terrorism on U.S. soil–look the spectular attacks pulled off by OBL took years and $$ to pull off–what we’ve really achived by the half ass execution of the war for oil in Iraq is to push 100s of 100os, perhaps a few million of disturbed and agonzinly poor muslim towards extreme Islam
it pains me that we have not taken care of business in Afg and Pak yet

If I had read his comments without knowing the source, I would have sworn they were from one of the Democrat candidates. Isn’t it sad that the Democrat party and Al Quaeda have so many beliefs in common?

NEWSFLASH!
BIN LADIN TO APPEAR AS A NEW FRONT RUNNER DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE AT NEXT DEMOC-RAT DEBATE!

Leave out the convert to Islam stuff and this guy sounds like some professors I’ve had. Saying the war in Iraq is a war fought for the benefit of corporations, praising Chomsky, using “neocon”, and calling into question the innocence of the victims of 9-11 by justifying their deaths by the actions of the US after the fact. Ward Churchill would be proud. Talking about the impotence of the Dems to use their power to end the war, this guy needs to speak at the next YearlyKos, he makes as much sense as anyone there.

Some of you still don’t get it. “Embrace Islam.” Sounds like he wants a theocracy here in the U.S. and sounds like he is willing to kill more innocent Americans to attain this goal. People, wake up and smell the bakliva. These muslims want to kill each and every one of us, they are not kidding. This has nothing to do with politics but most of you fell for the rhetoric as usual. Anything or anyone criticizing Bush is fine with you. This all has to do with slavery. Being enslaved to a violent and false religion, owing 2.5 tithes to a false god – aka: allah. This guy is a fanatic and he is dangerous to our entire way of life. He and his followers need to go. Now!

Why is Al Qaida complaining about Global Warming?
Because….
Kyoto = weakening of the west

I think it’s a phoney set up. Timing is too conicidental.
To hear the government conclude that it must have been made ‘mid-August’, because it refers to Japan’s Hiroshima memorials is ludicrous.
They are stupid to think we are so stupid.

Sounds like he is running for the Democrat nomination for president. I guess we can see a Osama/Obama ticket for the Dems

And in the end, all across the land, the conservatives rose up against the democrats, and the democrats rose up against the conservatives. The moral of this story is that they did not need terrorism to take down their great nation. All they had to do was create fear and confusion, pitting brother against brother, and the people themselves made sure it all ended. The End.

f osama and f islam too

f osama and f islam too

Listen to all the Lib Wackos claiming that Bin Laden isnt real or this is a Republican plot!
It must be pretty embarassing to have Bin Laden sounding like a Democrat huh Libs?
But as normal no amount of reality can change twisted little Liberal minds, can it?
Thats why, like Bin Laden, you are despised by real Americans.

lol trade democracy for islam – no thanks bin laden, burkhas don’t lik very falttering on me. how is this guy even still alive?? oh, right, THANKS BUSH.

I can see it now! The Democrat ticket: Obama / Osama

This blog is so terribly sad: Lefties and Righties arguing over philosophy instead of storming Washington and demanding accountability from BOTH of our useless political parties! The people in power are our true enemies, because all most of them care about is the financial interests of the corporations who got them their jobs! Wake up before it’s too late! Much of what UBL says is true. The fact that it’s him saying it doesn’t change that. When did one’s ideaology become more important that what is best for the US and the world? When did belittling those with whom you disagree become more important than working together for everyone’s good? This stupid, childish partisan bickering is what got the United States into the mess it’s in now, and it’s not going to start getting better until we acknowledge who our REAL enemies are and make them accountable. I hope this happens before we become even more of a police state.

Am I the only one who thinks its weird he is wearing a tank-top/wifebeater/guinea tee under his vestment? Doesnt he hate all things western?
-P

Oh yeah. Global Warming is FAKE!!!
maybe your boy Gore will let us airpool in his old a$$, fuel inefficient, private jet. Hypocryte! yeah sure, don’t worry Gore I’ll walk so you can fly. I think you owe me some cash for my carbon offsets. jagoff. oh I forget he buys those from his own companies. how convienent.

Wade,
Idiots have been a part of this country from its inception. Do not take comments on these blogs or the media so seriously. As for America, we will be just fine, there have always been tough times and we have always gotten through them. The values of this country run deep and are not always obvious. The biggest error anyone could make is underestimating the American people regardless of who happens to occupy Washington.

post menopausal Hillary has to be a whole lot scarier to OBL than all but Freddy T
bonus–FT’s wife is a honey

what the heck is going on with the world? our taxes are higher. store prices are higher. gas is still high. everyone’s blaming the president for our problems. the majority of us voted for him. we shouldn’t sit here and talk like he ruined the country. it’s called “taking responsibility”. he’s trying to keep us from being attacked again. now i’m not saying against anyone but if we bring our troops home now after all we’ve put them through, iraq will probably attack again and our fighting will have all been for nothing. if we keep our troops there, a lot of them will probably die but that’s the risk these brave people are signing up for when they join our country’s defense system. we need to stay in iraq and get rid of the terrorism. we all know it’s wrong and has to be stopped but we’re always complaining about how the government handles things.i think we need to just quit complaining and support our president, government for freedom, and troops. they’ll come home when it’s the right time. now for bin laden can just go move to a spider hole like his dead little friend. i hate him and his little speaches. they’re getting boring and i’m sick of seeing his butt ugly face and since when did anyone dye their beard like that? he probably did it with spider guts. that’s what it looks like. he’s just like hillary clinton, trying to take over the world. “let the village raise the children” if you’ve ever heard of the way the iraqi people live, you know i’m right about this. in iraq, the people of the village help raise the children until they’re old enough to kill and join terrorist groups. clinton wants the same here. she thinks that cause she’s a woman, she’ll get feminist votes. i say ‘go for it! more power to ya’ but i just don’t agree with what she’s saying. her supporters just see that she’s not a guy while everyone actually looks at what the male polititions are saying. this way of government isn’t right. i say we find a politition like raegan and put him/her in the oval office. raegan did a good job taking care of our country. he’s not very famous as presidents go but at least he kept us safe. bush is trying but we need someone that CAN.

We need a good old civil war to get rid of 33% of the commie, liberal scum that are making America unsafe and 33% of the scum bag conservitives that are pushing for open boraders with Mexico. The trucks are rolling today. Hippies stink. Vote Independant.

Oh yea . I heard this the other night from
OBAMA, wait, NO, OSAMA. wait. OBAMA
Oh hell whats the difference.

There can be no mistake, Islam hates liberals FAR more than she hates conservatives. There is nothing more disgusting to an ultra-neocon like bin Laden, than a sniveling liberal. But of course the REAL enemy, the strong enemy, is the lover of freedom. Thereby, in the Arab mind, “the enemy (libs, socialism) of my enemy (conservatism, freedom) is my friend.”
Islam, and liberals, one and the same.

The democrats could not raise taxes high enough to make me embrace islam

Al-Qaida wants war. Everything they do is to try and incite us to invade one spot or another. They believe the invasion by the West will unify Muslims using a common enemy. The leaders of Al-Qaida may be many things, but they are not stupid. Since their organization is so decentralized, they know a conventional war could never work. They have no citizens who could rise up and depose them. Instead, every country go into conflict with, the citizens will try to rise and depose us, the invading force. They knew 9/11 would suck us into the Middle East, into Afghanistan which is the modern equivalent of a land war in Asia. And they know anything that Bin Laden says, we will knee jerk into doing the exact opposite. Assume these guys are at least as smart as we are.

OMG!!!! He sounds like the Poster Boy for the Democrat Party.
This could end up doing far more damage to the Democrats then one could ever imagine.
I can see it now during the debates…”Senator Clinton, do you agree with Osama Bin Laden, that the Democrats should end this war and pull out of Iraq?..and should you agree that America convert to Islam, would you be the first to do so, Ma’am?” Dear God!
“You are either with us, or your with the terrorists” -George W. Bush
Sounds to me that the Democrats have a new spokeperson (OBL).

Osama = Obama.

Wake up America. We have resorted to fighting each other! The President is the President for no more than eight years. If you don’t like it, pick another Country to live in because this is how our Country works. You can’t change the rules just because you don’t like or trust the guy. I didn’t trust Clinton The Molester but he was the Commander in Chief and I’m sworn to obey his commands. Listen, what we’re doing in Iraq is a noble thing. We had no idea it would turn the way it did but remeber, America declared in 1998 that regime change in Iraq was policy. For God sakes stop the bickering because we’re tearing each other apart from within. Enough already.

Liberalism. The ideology of failure, weakness, stereotyping, tyranny, and doom.
Conservatism, that is, freedom and capitalism, is the light.

JAMAC,
Nope. Trying to make a point. Obviously it was lost on you.

OBL is dead. This is so clearly not him it’s laughable. Remember the GI doll? People fell for that one too. The only thing that’s real is the threat. No matter what the ignorant and uninformed haters want to believe, the threat is real. Do you not understand that they want us either like them or dead? I am stunned at the ignorance and cluelessness of so many Americans. It’s truly almost as frightening as these Jihadist nutballs.

Hey,
Could anyone ask Osie if Islam offers universal healthcare too. Oh boy!

***WOW***
I’m SHOCKED that OBL is acting as a spokesmen for the democratic party!
What a sad state of the party we are in when OBL screams the same crap that comes out of our leaders.
I’m flipping parties after this! If he is supporting democrats, we have a serious problem.

PATRICIA IRELAND, ROSIE O’DONNEL, NANCY PELOSI AND THE DIXIE CHICKS WILL LOOK GREAT IN BURKAS!

Re “To conclude,” bin Laden says, “I invite you to embrace Islam.” He goes on to say: “There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent.”
————
I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!! Even Bin Laden’s running for the Republican nomination for President!
On 2.5 per cent in taxes? There goes the Republican donors — unless Rudi , Mitt or Fred pledge to make it 2 per cent.
Wadda you say guys? Going once. Going twice…

I’m surprised ABC is even covering this story seeing as how the last time we had an Osama video, before the ’04 election, they neglected to report how Osama’s message was an endorsement of Kerry.
And it’s getting harder and harder now to tell the difference between the rhetoric of bin Laden and MoveOn.org.

two things one should know before starting a war.
(1) Know your enemy, and
(2) be prepared to die for your war.
Bin Laden started a war 9/11,
Now he must die.
Bibleguy, Pittsburgh, Pa, USA, I voted for George Bush twice, and will vote for whoever states that they will finish the war.

They guy is a joke,like we in the U.S.A are going to even listen to what he says.,but as far as the U.S.A I a support the president of the U.S.A,and that Osama can go to you no were.We will get every one of them radical people over there and here,or were ever it may be.Because god is on our side because we don’t kill Innocent people like they do.You should not even post it at all.

Many democrats refer to bin laden as a “freedom fighter” instead of a terrorist-murderer….that should tell you all you need to know.
http://www.thereisaway.us/

Guess what? My 4-year old daughter just came up, sat on my lap, pointed at the image of Bin Laden on the computer screen, smiled, and said “He’s taking a shower!” If only! Perhaps I should calmly reply, “No, Sweetie, he wants to kill you.”

Obama/Osama ’08!!!

Impeach Bush Now, end the national nightmare.

DEMOCRATS STILL BELIVE THAT BIN LADIN ATTACKED THE USA ON 09/11 BECAUSE WE INVADED IRAQ!
THEY ACTUALLY BELIVE THAT!

When Abu Garaib happened, liberals first got sexual gratification from the pictures, many of whom practice far more kinky sexual proceedures than that of the swine in the prison.
Soon after the lib was sexually satisfied with the images, his/her instinct was to quickly use it as a political tool to hurt their #1 enemy in the world, GW Bush.

With Norman Hsu in trouble now, it’s up to bin Laden to fund the Democratic party. Hillary I am sure will not turn down the money!!!!

He says that Jew and Christians live in peace in Muslim lands. They are not in any danger. In the same breath he says that America must convert?
Ahh yes the peaceful religion that embraces suicide bombers and deceipt as a means to an end. What load of crap.

Yes..that all makes perfect sense…Let’s give up and allow this guy to do with us as he wishes…The us will definitely be a better place…

4 legs good… 2 legs better.

OBL knows how to work the american sap whether in the whitewash house or showing their idiocy in these posts. Check out ole JIM JONES so close to tanking he needs the koolaid drink to put himself in a slumber while his country gets the long overdue catharsis it needs to get rid of hypocritical no thinking republican bathroom tappers…Jake your tapper family calls for you

Although the message between democRATs and Al Qaida is essentially the same, at least Al Qaida spokesmen seem more civilized than that of democRAT party spokesmen, or the liberals posting on this thread.

..and it’s true what CW2 Pilot said. The Iraqi’s really are naming children George Bush. They love him and America.

COME ON PEOPLE!! This is FAKE Bin Laden #3.
That is obviosly NOT Bin Laden, how does ones beard darken with age? Muslims don’t believe in hair dye, it would be very embarrassing for him to appear with his hair dyed.
Plus the factial structure is NOTHING like the Bin Laden from ’98 or ’02.

Islam is getting better looking day by day!!! We see how civilized the Islamic people and countries are… and how well they interact with each other in society. What a model ideology this Islam! Add to that 2.5% taxes and no mortgage payments and a heaven filled with thousands of virgins! I’d be a fool to turn down his invitation.
Oh, except it’s all a sham. “Convert or die” has been the Islamic motto ever since their founder set foot on the scene in 600′s A.D. That convert or die mentality is the only reason why Islam spread in those early days… and now, it’s primitive ways really do not set well with our global society.
I say “Evolve or die.”

“To those who say OBL is on the side of the Democrats, didn’t he basically call them impotent and imply they aren’t doing the will of those who voted them in, and in fact are doing the complete opposite of what they were voted in to do? Wow, that’s some glowing support from Osama!”
While I agree that the Democratic Party is impotent, listen to his words they are liberal talking points. At the very least guilt by association. At most Osama is a liberal!

THIS IS ALL FAKE, THERE IS NO AL QAEDA OR BIN LADEN. WAKE THE FVCK UP!

So is Bin Laden announcing his run for presidency on Leno too?

General Tony McCauliffe’s reply to the German commander upon demand that he surrender at Bastogne, in ’44:
“Nuts.”
—
Mr. Been Hidin’?
“Nuts.”

Even Osama Hates the Democrats

ABC News Jonathan Karl Reports:  ABC News has obtained a transcript of the latest taped message from Osama bin Laden. 
source: abcnews.com
Sources tell ABC News the tape, bin Ladens first message in three years, is approximately 30 minu…

Aren’t “Bin Laden’s” comments just a bit too cleverly composed and meant to tweak those he seems to praise, like Democrats, to be taken seriously? I mean, just look at quotes like “Democrats: Does is ever bother you, even a little, that you agree with a mass murderer so much?” Just too useful to somebody, to be a coincidence…

impeach bush, vote for obl.

Bin Laden’s comment below may be a flag or his way of telegraphing a nuclear incident of some sort on 9/11/2007.
“… just a few days ago, the Japanese observed the 62nd anniversary of the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by your nuclear weapons.” The anniversary was on August 6.

It seems I’ve hit the motherload! So THIS is where all you libral wackos hang out! I have heard of places like this but didn’t think they existed! If ABC were smart they would sell tickets to let people read through some of these comments. CASH COW!!!
btw…you ARE entitled to your own opinions. You are NOT entitled to your own facts. Go ahead and insult me, I won’t be back. You people scare me.

Bin Laden / Sheehan ’08 !!! With Chomsky as Sec of State.

WOW! Nut jobs on both sides. It is very easy for the uninformed, which risk nothing for this country, to make such bold and idiotic statements. I am not a love (this Country) it or leave it type of person but love it or do something about it. You believe that there is a big government conspiracy, then run for office or become a congressional aid part time. Get involved and informed at a meaningful level.
If you think the War is run poorly then join the service so that you can see what it is like from the inside. If you are so passionate about your beliefs then do something about it. It is easy to make stupid or hateful statement when you risk nothing for this country.
Everyone should just step back and think “Do I contribute positively to this country”? If your answer is I pay taxes then you are a background member of this society. Maybe you should keep your divisive statements to yourself.
“The greatest Generation” is distinguished by the ideal that everyone should contribute and if you cannot then don’t impede those who do!

Is it me or does he not look like the Geico Caveman?

UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL.
OBL reads these posts.

And the anti-gunners running for president want to take our firearms away from us HELL NO!!!!!! NOT WHILE OSAMAS MAMAS IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!! RichZ

As bad as Bin Laden is, or was, I have to say he was a bit more intelligent than portrayed here in this tape. This latest Bin Laden seems way more naive, as if reading from MoveOn.org talking points, or having just seen Al Gores fiction movie about global warming. By the way, has anyone seen Howard Dean lately?

“Noam Chomsky is one of the most capable of those from your own side”. Clearly this was written by someone on the “other side”, namely the right, or a neo-con.

Vote Democrat!
We may not have the balls to fight like F.D.R. possed anymore, but we sure as heck love our bathroom foot tappers in OUR party.
Rep. Barny Frank for President! He’ll stop our enemies with gay love! Where’s Carl Marx when we need him?

With Norman Hsu now in trouble, it’s up to bin Laden to fund the Democratic party. Hillary I am sure will not turn down the money!!!! She still has Hsu’s.

2.5% flat tax?!?!?! That’s it?!?!
Where do I sign up?
Allahu Akbar!!!!!!

I think Osie subscribes to the Hugo Chavez book club and Chomsky is required reading. Wonder what’s on Hillary and Obama’s nightstand?

Bin Laden’s comments are operation commencement code words for covert ops/sleeper cells in the U.S.
Ever heard the phrase “The Chair is Against the Wall.” To the normal listener, its nonsense. To the pre-informed, it says it all.
JH
p.s. Watch your asses out there.

Valerie … Liberals believe in god. Their god is themselves!!!! Liberals….Democrats…..Facists….Antichrist….. Same Agenda

Hey Two Tours Later,
Fact: I’m happy for you. You at least know you are a “L i b e r a l”
If that’s your best argument I guess we can’t count on you to beat OBL (or in your little spelling world UBL.)

I’m with him on taxes!

Wow. Reading all of these posts just makes me sad. All thanks to the Great Uniter, GWB. This country was more united on 9/11 than it had been since the Miracle on Ice. All the vitriol I’ve read above is the byproduct of this administration’s success in dividing our country since then. Chill out on the rhetoric. There isn’t a person in Washington, regardless of party, that doesn’t love this country. There isn’t a commenter whose posted that doesn’t love this country. Stop trying to talk tough on a message board. We’re on the same side. I’m a registered Independent and I haven’t decided who i will vote for in the next election. I just hope that the damage caused by this current administration isn’t irreperable. Maybe Americans should think twice before voting for a President soelely on the basis of his religion, party affiliation, his last name or because he wears cowboy boots even though he was raised in Connecticut. I’m not impressed with any of these candidates. One thing I do know is that I’m sick and tired of the venom being spewed by followers of each party, both nominees and voters alike. We’re all Americans. The true sign of ignorance here is the person who resorts to name-calling or believes everything they read or hear. Have a discussion and not a pissing contest, folks. Regardless of who is voted our next President, he/she would have to work extremely hard to make more mistakes than this current one.

Ok, do you not see what Bin Laden is trying to do? Do you not realize you are playing right into his hands? He wants to split this country like Iraq has split. We should unite as a nation and defeat ths evil monster who killed over 2,000 of our neighbors, friends, and loved ones. Stop bickering and let’s get this guy once and for all!!!

Black hole sun….won’t you come…..and wash away this liberal scum.

I personally believe that OBL is a conservative Republican. My reasons:
1. He is very religious.
2. He prays regularly.
3. He supports lower taxes.
4. He is opposed to the “secular humanists” that Bill O’Reilly talks about.
5. He supports a balanced budget, and wants to eliminate foreign debts.

For the last time:
First:
Al Quaeda did not exist before 9/11. Seriously did anyone hear the word Al Quaeda before 9/11? NO! If you claim you have- you are a LIAR!
Second:
Bin Laden is not responsible for 9/11 and had nothing to do with it
Third:
Osama Bin Laden is either dead or living in paradise somewhere in the south Pacific spending lots of U.S. Government cash that was given to him in exchange for him admitting he was behind 9/11
Fourth:
Bin Laden probably died in 2004/5
Fifth:
This is about the dumbest neocon plot and set-up for another 9/11 event- so Bush can declare Marshall Law and remain in the white house (Marshall Law would stop a 2008 election- until the country and the people are “safe” and we all know how long that would be).
Finally:
Why are the bush’s and the Bin Ladens still in business together?
In conclusion:
Take the hook out of your mouth or do not complain when they reel you in and gut you!
Oh, yeah, and- this is not how Osama Bin Laden speaks! The phrasing is completely wrong! Listen to his previous tapes and you will notice a HUGE difference in how he speaks!!!!

I think it is pitiful that most of the right wingers (? I suppose, but what has this to do with tax policy etc.) around here a simple minded enough to take Bin Laden at his word. Really, you are going to take what he says he likes or wants at face value, as if he is a dumbbell, not thinking a few moves ahead? The Iraq war was mismanaged and helped his cause accordingly, so who is really supporting Bin Laden? Who let him slip away in Afghanistan, to divert resources to Iraq – why couldn’t we have finished up there ? With all the billions spent, if spent there instead (or later), we could almost certainly have gotten Bin Laden by now. We shouldn’t even have him around to listen to in the first place. Whose fault was that?

Oh yeah Mr Barry Macaulkener…the devide in this country is all GWB’s fault. I remember, after GWB had the congressional leadership over to the White House a couple of weeks after 9-11, Tom Daschle and his ilk standing outside the Whitehouse after the meeting bad mouthing GWB and I remember thinking to myself “well…there goes the ‘United Country’ everyone has been proclaiming.” Seems to me that it is the liberal radicals that hope for failure so they can claim they were right all along. That is treasonous.

“Which is it? Either Bush is a bumbling idiot or a criminal genius, he can’t be both.”
He is a bumbling idiot and a puppet of those who have the capacity to be a criminal genius.
Another fake.

OBL dead???
It is a fake beard then.
He must have just come back from Leona Helmsley’s mortician.
They propped him up for a photo op.

How about we take a vote?
Who’s the greatest threat to America? Al Qaeda ?– or Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Fox News and all the morons who believe them??

Uh Darrell shouldn’t you get back to the asylum before they realize you’ve gone missing.
You will be sad when a new President is installed and status quo exists. Then you might want to schedule a few extra sessions with your therapist so he/she can bring you down off that ledge!

Ah, Noam Chomsky gets a mention! He might as well have called all the residents of Berkeley California saints, for their unwavering loyalty to every anti-American cause out there. There’ll be tears of joy in Berkeley now that they see that one of their heroes is still living on this videotape. It might even give them a pause from their usual hypocritical hate and self-righteous Christian bashing.

Was that a Harry Reid transcript??

We need to unite as Americans. Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives. Our solidarity will defeat this madman. Stop our bickering. We are all Americans and we value each other.

Hug your children and tell them that you love them.

Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure in the mountains of Balochistan in December of 2001, according to President Pervez Mussharraf of Pakistan, at the time. He has since then changed his position to co-incide with the official story promoted by the U.S. administration. There is no bogey man in the caves of Torabora. The Whitehouse staff was taking Cipro on 9/11, days before the first anthrax attacks on the democrats opposing the Patriot Act. There is a bogey man in the office of the Vice President.

OSAMA BIN LADENS RHETORIC = DEMOCRATIC PARTY TALKING POINTS
THAT SAYS SOMETHING DOESN’T IT?

Hmmmm.
What an amazing number of liberal kooks on this website.

BTW, those talking about winning in Iraq: Which do you prefer, the Sunnis or the Shias, and why? Just wondering – can’t have it both ways.

After hearing that speech I think OBL is running for the democratic nomination. I’m sure the left wingers really like what he’s saying! Watch out hillary – you’ve got competition!!

The left wing democrats forged and fabricated the contents of that video tape then pointed a finger accusing that it was the Republicans who did it. Just look at the perfect timing in which the 2008 Presidential election campaign for both parties just started. Good luck all you dimwitted, clueless liberals for your naughty little tricks.

Sounds like a lot of you posting these comments went to a government school for your education!! I guess that is where you get all of your intelligent ideas and theories!! I guess they also taught you that the United States should have never got involved in World War II, after all Hitler was a great man, Emperor Hirochito was a great man, and lets not forget the Dems favorite leader, Saddam Hussein. He was such a good leader and took very good care of his people! OBL is and has been a threat to our freedom and our way of life! This video may be fake but the threat is real!! Drop the play station controls, quit watching the Michael Moore movies, quit reading the New York Times, take your butt to work and pay your taxes like the good little sheep the Dems want you to be!! Wait forget the work part, the Dems are against you being successful! It is up to them to do it for you!!

Bin Losser is Bin DEAD.

The other poster is right. Just walk down any street in Berkeley California and you’ll quickly see where the REAL danger to this country is! People who think they know everything usually know very little, and people who have no tolerance for other people’s viewpoints are an even greater danger still. Berkeley is the hive for both of those types of people. Most people from Berkeley are living examples of both of those truths.

Has there been some sort of mixup? Isn’t this the Democratic party’s campaign platform for 2008? Isn’t this what Hillary and Al Gore say to us daily?
The enemy is not in the Middle East. It’s here in our own country, in the form of the Democratic party. Every one of them should be put in camps, behind barbed wire, so that we’re not in danger.

Its Psychology 101, empathize with your “mark”, make them feel justified in their emotions and then then suggest a course of action. Its a mass recruitment effort by Bin Laden on behalf of Alquida.
Don’t be played.

Oh man! He was 99% on board with the whole DNC agenda. Then he had to go mention that low taxes thing.

with that endorsement of Chomsky, you *idiot* Conservatives are again giving OBL exactly what he wants; a divided America.
You are *fools* (that’s clear enough from the fact that you voted for Bush), and you are playing right in to what a terrorist wants.

All the liberals are right! Bin laden is a good man and fully supports the democratic party, let’s do what Bin Laden wants, let’s elect democrats!

Looks like a little Photoshop editing of bin Laden.
Is this guy alive?

WOW – I am dazed by these posts. It amazes me that people still buy into the “conspiracy” crap. I wish I could respond to each on personally but there just isn’t enough time in the day. If you believe that Osama is better than President Bush, you need your head examined. You may be suffering from Stokolm Syndrome.

Vote Democrat!

It’s so funny reading the comments of liberals on this board.
They are in a panic that their comments almost word for word, the same as OBL.
The best they can do is engage in their Elvis in an UFO logic, that this is being done by the Bush Administration.

I get a kick out of leftist liberals who call themselves independent because they read a newspaper occasionally and maybe some off the wall blog. They go on and on about how terrible everyone to the right of their thinking is. They continually bash Bush and others and think they are above the hate they claim to despise.

Broadsward,
Could you be any more thick-headed? Your entire rant was one line after the other in hatred of conservatives, blaming them for dividing America because they voted for Bush.
What again was your point?

This is utter fake garbage. Why would a Muslim leader refer to a Western date?
It’s transparently trying to associate al Queda with the Democrats. Gee, who does that benefit? Osama? Hillary? No, only the Republicans.

Mr. Laden is trying to discredit the left. The right is who gains by his statements. Just like before the election it was known that he wanted Bush is Office and did what he could. This was the conclusion of our own CIA.

The President is doing an great job with respect to the terror war. If our warfighting and behind the scenes actions results in more dead terrorists, well done and keep up the good work.

Democracy is the best form of government. But a democracy without an involved and vigilant citizenry is like a speeding car without a driver. America is heading for disaster because citizens are too busy to participate in their government. They elect corrupt leaders who do the work of traitorous special interests. America’s problems can be seen by looking in a mirror.

Wow. How did Bin Laden get an advance copy of Hillary’s nomination acceptance speech?
No wonder even Ted Kennedy gets Bin Laden and Osama Obama mixed up.

Anyone surprised that Bin Laden is rooting for the Democrats?
Twisted minds think alike.

I just waw him a the local Stop n Go…

Did anyone actually read the transcript?
His purposes and Bush’s purposes don’t quite seem the same. OBL seems more interested in ending aggression, Bush in perpetuating it. Let them have their desert and oil and inter-tribe warring. We have our own problems to worry about.

Pretty darn funny… I can believe Osama’s statement’s knowing HE BELEIVES
them….BUSH can’t even pull this talent
off anymore for 70% of the public…hehehehe

and Osama’s looking hot, tan,and terrific…all Bushie looks now is OLD

“freedom”
You said: Iraq is the wrong war for the US to be fighting. Iraq possessed no WMD, had no connection to 9/11, and did not pose an imminent threat to the US. Iraq was and is an unnecessary distraction from Afghanistan, and despite all Bush’s oratory to the contrary, the Iraq War has not made the US any safer from terrorism.
Then why was Clinton and evety other liberal tail sniffer so adamant that Iraq DID have WMD, and WAS a threat to the US…etc, etc.

It should seem pretty clear to all who read the transcript that sbl is condeming all that is not Islam. He and his kind are at war with freedom. Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or Independent; sbl’s war is against you if you do not believe as he does. This is not a conservitive vs liberal engagement. Wake Up!!!

Should read “THE problem(is)”… sorry.

its scary when someone who hates America proposes a bigger tax cut for the common American citizen than our own elected officials. Doesnt make Democrats look very good. FIX health care? IT isnt broken. Its the BORDERS, stupid!. Just tell the government to go away and leave me alone..oh, wait..cant do THAT, that would mean GASP..no CONTROL over everyone…

If this clown Usama didn’t exist already, the GOP would need to invent him.

Troy: In what way did the neocons give the rest of us the stage to spew “garbage”? They nabbed bin Laden, sure, in Afghanistan, and wrapped up in Iraq all OK?..ahem, but Democrats won the wars they fought, like WWII. That is the real reason we can say what we want here, for the time being at least.

OBL would fit nicely in the democrats plans for 08. He is less liberal and therefore less nutty than several democrats.
With Castro so ill OBL will become the new favorite of the liberals.

Hey BO 08, thanks for the post. You’re further proof of the bitter liberal underachievers blaming their personal issues, failures and shortcomings on the system. Nice use of exclamation points. Silly weirdo.

Delver, the Democrats that won WWII would NEVER be considered democrats today by any legitimate democrat organization.
Your party has move WAAAAY past left field.

I would imagine that the leaders of the Democrat party are anxious to locate bin Laden so they can surrender as soon as possible.

Did anyone realize the difference in the nose in the photo from 2004 compared to the new 2007 photo

Is Osama running as a Democrat? He wants to cut taxes, so I am confused.

We live in a free nation which allows all sorts of people to voice their opinions…which is great! It’s just too bad many of the people voicing opinions don’t realize how many people sacrificed their lives to give us that freedom.
The majority of Americans elect our leaders every 2 years (or 4 years) and those leaders should be given respect until they do something to lose that respect.
More people should wake up each morning and consider how fortunate we are to live in a society that gives us so many opportunities to make a happy life for ourselves and our loved ones, instead of being so occupied with tearing down our nation with ugly rhetoric about how horrible our leaders are, and how much they wish they lived like some people live in dictator-ran countries.

Delver
How old are you? Democrats in the 1930-1960 era are now Independents and Republican/Liberatarians. You party shows weakness like I have never seen. Personally, I brought up Neo Cons, because, like radical Islam, if your not a Democrat, your a neo con. Where the hell have you been? Do you think Gen. Patton would be a Democrat today? I think not. We need a Patton for president today!! One other thing, you notice OBL used all Democrat talking points??? No worries fellow American. Us Bubba’s out here will protect your freedom to be a loon when needed. Out…

Convert to Islam? Hmmmmm………
How is “NO! sound to you?

Haven’t we heard the same thing from the Democrats for years now? Democrat talking points coming from Osama….LOL…Useful Idiots

I think the tape is produced by the producers of the 9/11 hoax to help the former mayor of new york. This is to counter the recent documentary implicating the former mayor in the 9/11 tragedy.

Thanks to the corrupt leadership in the USA, we are the #1 obstacle to world peace and in biblical terms, the USA has become Goliath, the beast 666.

OBL wrote about the victory over the Soviet Union in Afghanistan like the mujahadeen was the reason for their victory. He failed to mention though that it was because the U.S. armed them.

OBL’s new transcript calls for all U.S. to embrace Islam. He ridicules our high taxes and reminds us that their tax is only 2.5 percent. Remember, we could have a 2.5 percent tax if we would be content to live in a cave and walk every where. His life style is a hard sell. American’s are slow to give up their SUV’s who believes we would convert to a religion that sends us to the caves and our women covered like a tent with feet. Not going to happen anytime soon. Even the Republican’s don’t want lower taxes that bad. And there is not a Democrat alive who is willing to give up his or her current goods to live in Bin Laden’s caves.

Osama does exist, Einstein, and if you recall he took responsibility for the murder of over 3000 people whose unthinkable crime was to go to work.

Hey Delver, who started the Vietnam war for the US, a Democrat or Republican? You histrionic, paranoid, conspiracy-theory leftist pseudointellectuals are so quick to make simple-minded comparisons between Vietnam and Iraq. Why don’t you look up who was the first US president to commit troops to Vietnam. Idiot.

Troy, I’m in my fifties, and you political scheme is a tired myth. Taxes were actually higher in the 50s and early 60s than today, and JFK lowered them to roughly comparable to today. Today’s Republicans spend more than Democrats and are riddled with corruption. Note what I said above about labor, about WWII and general competence versus Iraq. Aren’t you pissed that it was not executed competently? Why is bin Laden even able to make the damn tape to begin with, if your hero (?) Bush is so great? As for bin Laden’s message, don’t fall for what someone like that says directly. We can do better than that. Realize he is scheming like a chess player.

I think James Carville wrote his script!!

Osama is a better public speaker than
the current President of the United States…roll on the floor, giggly funny…hehehehe :):):)

Why in the world do libs like to use the word “corporations” as if it were a dirty word? Do you even wknow what it realy means anymore?

There was a point sometime during the 20th Century when we started seeing the world as good and evil, right and wrong, smart and stupid.
Our side is good, right, and smart and the other side is evil, wrong, and stupid.
And, we are absolutely certain of this no matter what anyone says and anything said to the contrary is obviously wrong or a lie.
This was the day that democracy died.

This guy is brilliant. But TRUE EVIL Usually is. He is truly pure evil.

That day was during the 20th century, huh? Dude, John Quincy Adams’ presidential campaign in the 1820s compared his opponent to Satan. The campaign between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had the partisans accusing each other of either wanting to set up a guillotine in front of the Capitol or setting up a monarchy. You really think us-against-them is something new?
I do think that American democracy took a dark turn when Al Gore refused to accept (as Nixon did) the outcome of a close, contested election.

John- democracy died the day dems decided to oppose the war so they could take power!

Remeber those T-Shirts from a couple of years ago…Bush with that slogan
“Been Load’n..Bin Laden…guess this video proves that Bush shoots blanks…maybe we should have sent Cheney out hunting for Osama…Oh I forget…he only likes to shoot TAME
birds…:):):)

You have to love the Libs, Socialist, idiots or whatever they like to be called. There is no need to make fun of them. Just read the idiotic comments. Stop smoking morons. Gotta love ‘em.

Delver,
You SHOULD be thanking Bush/Cheney for
strenthening the Shia in Iraq…they were the ones so hell bent on phony WMD’s, and never thought a thing about how the Shia and Iran are soulmates in shared Theology and worldview…

First of all it isn’t a sure thing OBL was in Tora Bora. I love how you dems mistrust US intelligence in all matters but when it could benefit a point you’re making. Intel is not fact nor proof, it is educated estimates. So no I’m not under the mindset of Bush “dropped the ball in Afghanistan” given we’ve never been able to prove Bin Ladens location at the time of invasion.

Another fine piece of filmaking by the DIA/NSA.
The Left vs. Right paradigm is a total con!
The left and right are controlled by the same powers. They’ve created the left vs. right paradigm to con us, and split us into different camps, so we can clash and bicker while they steal, lie and connive. It is used to divide and conquer us and it’s working very well. Time to wake up kids.

Enough already- go do something productive with your lives. Most of us are out here working like dogs to be good people and earn a living- we didnt do anything to these people. .

Great acting skills. It’s actually a communique from the GOP puppet.

It’s Max Headroom in disguise.

Maria,
Don’t you ever get TIRED of PRAYING to GOD to SAVE America…why can’t you try to make an effort to do something YOURSELF ??…too lazy typing on a keyboard I guess…

How can “the world’s dumbest leader” come up with all of these insanely complicated plots to bring down America and install “Marshall Law” (what the hell is that? Is karate a Marshall art too?)? It’s insane that there is this much free time on people’s hands to come up with these B-movie conspiracy theories.
Sharpen your Occam’s Razor, folks, and join us in the real world!

This talk of the video being fake is a little bit silly. Video and computer technology is good, but it’s not that good. This one is the real deal, it’s not Osama Bin Headroom.

Hating ourselves and blaming ourselves for all the violence in the world is a lot easier than admitting there are tribes and people of color and other cultures out there that do not have our best interests at heart. Talking to them will do no good. They are not interested in talking as we are. Words do not mean anything to them. The sooner all you do-gooders realize that, the better off we will all be. This is a war and a very big one whether you like it or not. That is human nature and it is coming – so wake up.

Just_A_Grunt for President! From a veteran!

2.5% Tax?!?!? Maybe, the lunatic does make a couple of good points after all.

This Osama video will most likely be proven to be fake, as many of the others have proven to be. One of the others was spliced together from old footage but passed off by the complicit mainstream media as new. All the evidence points to bin Laden being a stooge/patsy of US-British intelligence. The transcript is equally fake, and the objective of those who are really releasing these videos is to marginalize those against the Neocon/New World Order agenda as being on the side of al-CIA-DUH.

Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!

Osama Bin Laden platform sounds a lot like the Democratic Party platform … except better! At least Osama is against taxes!

For the record:
Clinton had an anti-terrorism force working full-time, headed by Richard Clarke. When Bush took over, he told them all to go home and dropped the ball.
From that point until 9/11, our government refused to accept a threat existed.
Richard Clarke was on NIGHTLINE jumping up and down about it.
Clinton did not sit on his hands, in fact he was more effective in limiting the activities of Al Quaeda than Bush has been.

Newsflash: “progressives” are the new reactionaries. They do not want to do anything and cannot deal with reality. “Conservatives” are the new progressives who can look at the big picture and want to make changes.

Mission acomplished Rickster. You go Girl

What do you think of Hillary now that Osbama is backing the Dem’s for 2008. Yes that’s right Cuba’s Pres and OBL are giving their backing to the surrender team! I guess they figure if Clinton made America an easy target, why not make it easy on them with Hillary. George and Team America is killing 1500 terrorist a month and Bill & Hillary show did about the same except thewy were American Embassy workers and Twin Towers workers.

Isnt that Iraq report due soon ? nicely timed reminder is it ;)

Wow… The liberals hate Bush more than Osama.

Not ready to live under the Shira but the 2.5 % flat tax Osama proposes sounds great. Is he planning to run?

Woops! make that 99% of these idiot posters out of the Country, If it wasn’t for America you wouldn’t be typing from your computer in English, yes let’s all go back to History class.

Still… Osama has some pretty strong points, the craving for wealth and luxury has driven us over the top, and we forgot or choose not to see that 911 was an inside job and Bush and his NWO and weaponsindustry friends should be the ones on trial for acts of terrorism

Marc Cortez,
North Korea is called the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea but that doesn’t mean that they’re a democracy.
As Shakepeare said, “what’s in a name”

ABC should be so proud. OBL quotes from their propoganda “specials” to use against us. He agrees with ABC’s point of view. Yes ABC… you should be sooo proud.

OBL supports Democrats! They must be so proud.

Rickster in Gulfport:
Blind patriotism. Is that anything like all the chest-thumping liberals who followed Bill Clinton to the conclusion that Iraq was amassing a stock pile of WMD and that Sadam was a really bad man? I mean, if this was all some great big lie when Bush told the story, wasn’t it also a big fat lie when Clinton told it? Why were the so-called progressives and liberals so eager to blindly follow then? And why can so few of them today admit that there may be some truth to the notion that we didn’t start this war?
Blind patriotism isn’t always that bad, is it? Or is it only when you can accuse the right of practicing iT?

Mmmm… Chertoff in Drag!!! Mmmmm…
I realy am turning Democrat! Eeeep!!!

The democrats just blow wind in the sails of this murderer and his corruption of religion.
Without their support, OBL would have nothing to brag about.

I think he video is computer generated, why is it so fuzzy ? and I detect computer like motions when he is moving

I am so sick of this phony war on terror it basically gags me…All
the idiots that fly flags on 9/11 just make me want to grab a Bic Lighter and
and a pair of scissors and start having a cloth red, white,and blue barbecue…

What? no taxes in Islam? Where can I sign up? :)

Finally! A third-party candidate with the answers America needs!

The Germans blamed the Jews for all their problems.
The Republicans blame the ‘libs’ for all their problems.
The difference here is that Republicans are right.

Admitting that OBL has a point is not surrender, and the fact that one would think so, is why we are so divided.
It is called being objective not biased.
That’s like saying if OBL said Christmas was on December 25th, we wouldn’t celebrate it – just to ‘show him”.
IDIOTS!!

Hey, maybe OBL can get a part in that new caveman TV show? Its on ABC, he probably will…s

Not my top ten, but I am surprised that you know of these outlets.
You can’t understand the possibility of middle ground.
Can you understand objective journalism?
I would doubt one would find any in the top ten list not offered by me.
Shows how Republicans react when you get them to think for a moment.
Paint the opposition as evil.
I don’t think Republicans are evil, just not very smart in forming their own opinions.
The type that have to have a guidebook to list out right and wrong like the Bible, because their own conscience is absent.
Is nice to see Bush’s SS is already up and running in the minds of people who post comments in the name of others.
Perhaps it is because your name is not worth any respect?

The difference here is that Republicans are right.”
Funny, the Germans thought that, too.

Oh the irony that OBL encourages Muslims to engage in sucide attacks while he hides in a cave desperately trying to stay alive.

Michael Chertoff even said, that this bin Laden tape is “A way of playing with our heads.” All you foamy-mouthed right-wing ranters, saying that fellow Americans supported bin Laden just because he said he like Democrats better, as if anyone should be dumb enough to fall for bin Laden’s carefully crafted chess moves … You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Vote Democrat!

Funny, the Germans thought that, too.
True, but having benefit of that knowledge, we are actually able to confirm that we, indeed, truly are actually right this time.

The man in the video looks like a two-bit imposter, with his apologetic manner and his third-rate plastic surgery. This sad-looking, round-shouldered man shows nothing of the athletic shoulders and mad gleam in the eye that were trademarks of Osama Bin Laden. If this video was intended to mock the US, all it succeeded in doing was mocking itself. If it was intended to bolster up the discouraged warriers, it must be having the opposite effect by now. This attempt at fraud is not up to current media standards.

Okay Sheeple, wake up. Our two party system is broken.
Aren’t we in trouble when a serial killer makes more sense than 95% of our elected officials?
The dems and republicans keep you all busy fighting about matters of the heart while they pick your pockets and rape your land.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Frankly these guys who keep screaming that we need GOD to Save America are as pathetic as the terrorists…why not start trying to save ourselves…and stop relying on a myth to help get us out of trouble….

Obviously someone can not debate a point correctly and has to resort to posting using my name.
I bet your last job was pollworker in the 2000 election?
Greg, I believe blind patriotism is bad in all its forms. True, Clinton had the same information as Bush did, but Clinton didn’t bog us down in any un-win-able conflicts.
It was when GW43 took his eyes off them is when they struck their biggest blow.
No coincidence, there.
Of course the fact that he brings the world to the brink again is all on him.

Actually, Leprkin- If America is hated, as you say, I suggest it is because godless liberals, by way of Hollywood, have tried to force their warped values on the rest of the planet.

MC,
I agree with you. And it’s sad that more people haven’t read it to know what it’s about, especially considering that it’s not very long anyway.

I read the ENTIRE transcript. Did you? He insults Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, rails against capitalism, democrats, democracy, the Vietnam war, taxes, mortgages etc. Bin Ladin’s interests are 180 degrees from conservatives. His ideals sound like talking points for the Democrat party. Here’s the gist of the rant: He wants everyone to convert to Islam, as usual. He blames the woes of Muslims on everyone else, as usual. Nations that defend themselves against Islamic tyranny are worse than those who strap bombs onto children – typical. The same “woe is us” crap from these people. What is the last positive contribution any Middle Eastern country has given the world? I can’t think of one in the last 200 years. They’re stuck in 11th century ideologically. They still think parts of Europe taken before the crusades belong to them. Nutty. Even if this is authentic (doubtful) it just proves once and for all that OBL is insignificant now. He has to fill his 1st speech in over a year with references to Richard Pearle, mortgages, taxes, Vietnam, JFK and global warming?? Pretty sad really. I guess he’s figured out that his threats don’t scare the US off anymore. Good for us, bad for him.

WAKE
UP
SHEEPLE
OUR
TWO
PARTY
SYSTEM
IS
BROKEN
THE IDIOTS KEEP YOU ALL INFIGHTING WHILE THEY PICK YOUR POCKETS

Wow, if it weren’t for the swipe at Democrats he almost sounds like a Democrat candidate for President.

Hey BIGBARRYW: Don’t forget, the Democratic Party also promised with stem cell research to make all of the quadriplegics walk again. Remember?

i am saudi and at the same time love America… America …the original culture,Fathers’ concepts of Democracy …etc
Frankly, most of you guys know so little about us culturely, religiously, socially and yet have the ability to analyse and judge us almost as no more than barbarians. Alas
also, i notice that most of you Americans can’t come out of the american shell. Hatch out of America if you want to understand the other.America is Not the world.
browse the internet and read about our countries, cultures, peoples, Islam …etc. Try to listen to our voice. just for information.

Binny.. It’s been a while, old friend. Welcome back!
Binny, I just want to thank you. I want to thank you so much for buying the Conservatives another 4 years of power.

Funny, they thought that, too, as well.
So basically you are opposed to a two party system?
King George, perhaps?
Why would you assume I am against the two party system? I’m all for it as long as it has at least two good parties. Truth be told I don’t care much for either of the leading two parties, and none of the lesser ones appeal to me either. But if I have to hate anyone, I think it should at least be the ones who inherently assume the worst of me and would rather see our country fail than succeed under the leadership of the other party.
And really. with all the libs tossing words out like “neocon” “winger” and all the other disgusting words their two dads taught them, you gotta let me have at least one. Lib aint that bad, is it?

No Dray,
Burning the American Flag is an expression of EXERCISING my Freedoms…
the SAME Freedoms that Americans’ seem so eager to surrender during this phony War on Terror…a fake war that really is NOTHING but a SLOGAN created by Karl Rove

CIA Fraud.
On Page 7 UBL says “i.e.” – why would somebody say “i.e.” in a speech?

I could weep at the sarcastic and just plain mean comments of many here, so corrupted by rage and so prideful of their almost magical ability to see the “real” story here that they’ll gladly trade the truth for a lie and hope others are persuaded to agree. Paul said some such thing long ago, and its as true then as it is now. Give up your rage at our very human leaders, and gather your courage to preserve our better than most but still human condition in this country. Bless our leaders and may God guide them well in fighting this terrible evil consumed with our destruction.

That’s it-I’m voting Republican!

well this is nothing new, the current administration is a dynasty of pure evil. The family from texas got into office through deception, the elections were only a formality. They should be held accountable for their war crimes. Even the residing VP puppet master, without him we only have the idiot.
It is ashame because I believe we live in a great country, unfortunately those who have money and lack basic morale’s have betrayed us all. The damage done by this administration will last several life times.

The problem this bin Laden tape is causing for Republicans: all the stupid people fall for his spin, and vote Republican. How can such morons govern?

“Outside of wrong doing and right doing is a field – I’ll meet you there”
attributed: just guess

Look. The Idiot bin Laden started the killing though the evils of terrorism. He is not worth a hill of beans to be listened to. Nothing he says is of any value to the people of the United States and yet many of you criticise both parties and not the bum Laden.

When are you LIBS going to ‘draft’ ‘ol OBL as your new demoncratic party candidate? Should I hold my breath while waiting….I think NOT!!!

The news article above seems to believe this article was from the first days of august, and mentions him speaking of Sarkozy as a leader, however, he also names Blair as a world leader (in the same sentence), who resigned June 27, 2007…. so it would appear this would have to have been written between Sarkozy’s election in May and the last weeks in June… suprising that noone has caught this yet.

Remember, while you argue who is the worst party outhere, press 1 for spanish!!! Aaaaahaaa!!!

If BILL CLINTON would have taken out Bin Laden when he had the chance, we would’nt be where we are today!
Democrats actually beleive that George Bush has a video editing machine that he uses to manufacture terrorist propaganda tapes like this. If that’s not an indicator of just how LOONY-TOONY a democrat is, nothing will convince you.

Wow…you have a problem ‘shannangreen’. Lot of hostility re-directed maybe from something else?
Two-party system doesn’t rep every viewpoint, but it’s practical and gets the job done. I’d vote for Nader anyway, remember the guy who made cars safer for everyone, libs and cons alike? He’s a true American.
O yea, ‘neo-con’ is about right, busy pulling one big con job on all of us.

There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent.
Now that should appeal to the neo-con nut jobs of this country. Osama says 2.5%. Are you blushing, Mr. Forbes?

Xwheeler
who knows who would die first?

I cut out a picture of Noam Chomsky, had it laminated, glued it to a stick and put it in my garden. At least I get some use out of him. So far as I know, I have the only Garden Noam is existance.

Spin it anyway at all, Bin Laden is a fan of the Democrats. No surprise at all.

Greg: OBL would already be did if Bush did his job right in Afghanistan. Also, the neoconservatives made up that name for themselves.
Really, which Army Ranger unit was Bush commanding?

Anybody who is posting and thinking that Clinton and Richard Clarke were on top of terrorism is a fool. Sept. 11th was planned during the Clinton years. They waited to pull it off thinking Gore would be in the White House and that there wouldn’t be a measurable response.

You want to know what is sad – the fact that this video comes out, and NONE of us can unite under one commen idea, what common goal, one commone thought. Bin Laden speaks, and instead of uniting our wills to find and bring to justice the most evil man alive, we all bicker about which party is right, and which is wrong. Let’s get this straight: Our differing political parties have an equal stake in all that is wrong with our country. No one person and no one party is right. It’s up to us as voters to be responsible, to do the research and figure out where we stand and what we want. I say that we all shut up about which political figure is more like Bin Laden for five minutes and see where Bin Laden is coming from and how our actions can benefit him or hurt him. Arguing amongst ourselves benefits him; he wants us to be divided and at each other’s throats – it’s easier for him to start destorying what we all hold dear: the United State of America. You may not agree with my political views, and that doesn’t bother me. What really bothers me is that you can’t see past your own supposed intelligence to notice that you all are playing into his hands.

A new Zogby International poll released yesterday shows that 51% of Americans (up from 45% last year) want Bush and Cheney to be directly investigated for their actions on 9/11 and 67% fault the 9/11 Commission for their failure to probe the anomalous collapse of WTC 7.
Hours after the release of the poll Bin Laden pops up and promises us a new editorial comment. Coincidence? Precisely the same thing happened last year. On May 23rd 2006, a Zogby poll was released showing nearly half of Americans wanted a new 9/11 investigation. The very next day, Bin Laden popped up to reinforce the official version and threaten new attacks. Can lightening strike twice in the same place?

It is appalling to read the rhetoric of the liberal community that so closely resembles the garbage from OBL. What further evidence do we need that the libs are essentialy TRAITORS? The Constitution needs to be enforced, and quickly!!!

Noam Chomsky on OUR side???? Riiiight…

What Osama doesn’t get is that we will never back down and will kick his ass until the last American is standing. It seems obvious to us, but somehow he doesn’t get it. He is an insane sociopath with idiotic followers (much like the democratic party – ha ha)

I am unable to view the transcript in full with the pdf file. However, I know enough from what I’ve read to see this is more of the same from this wannabe Caliph. Let’s let the authorities do their job in thwarting attacks and breaking up cells. I’m not going to let some global village idiot like OBL change how I live my life. Down with Sharia law, an insult to human rights lovers everywhere who live in the 21st century.

He is using the rhetoric of those who offer him the means of victory.

It’s interesting that while the US WELCOMES just about every person from a predominately Muslim to legally enter the country if they’d like and continue to worship in their desired fashion or not at all, yet Osama Bin Laden espouses an ideology that cleanses the Middle East and most of the world for that matter of Americans and anyone who refuses to believe as he does.
Also interesting that he “invites” America to embrace Islam, and yet doesn’t understand that America is one of scant few countries that truley embrace Islam. We also embrace Christianity, and Judaism, and Hinduism, and Atheism, and Aganosticism, etc.
Regardless of your political persuasion, I think the battle being fought is one between an ideology that embraces a coexistence of all of the best (and a tolerance of the worst) that the human mind and soul is capable of on one hand, and an ideology that will accept ONLY a complete capitulation by all to a prescribed point of view and belief system.
The fact that Bin Laden thinks that those of us in the free world would ever embrace that latter ideology that he represents, or that many of those people living under his concept of utopia don’t see and in fact prefer the value that the former ideology holds, shows what a simple mind he truly has.

Wow, alot of people believe this is fake.
What do you believe?
What will it take for you to believe it?
I dont think it matters, because you’ve already made up your mind that its America’s fault for all the problems in the world.
Take a REAL History class and maybe you’ll see the big picture.
If you read the transcripts you’ll see that Islamo-fascist dont care if your Repub, Dem, Lib, Con, Gay, straight, man woman, all they want is for you to be MUSLIM!
Which Government would you rather live in? Sharia law or Democracy?
Bush will be gone next year, then what libs?

All you liberal fools can keep chanting that President Bush lied as this murderous thug saws your heads off in front of your families.

Forget Hillary, Obama and all the rest, HERE is REAL DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER!!! It’s without a doubt time for the Democrats to “Dump Obama, Draft Osama”! (AND…it would make a GREAT Bumper Sticker!)

If you look really close, you can actually see that it’s not Bin Laden, its George Bush dressed as Bin Laden….I heard he hired some expensive Hollywood make-up artist, they are part of the conspiracy as well…

to moronpolitics
my dear if we are presumably ignorant of you as far as culture …etc concerned, it is not a problem at all as long as we are not intervening in your affaires let alone attacking you in the name of the so- called security, freedom, DEMOCRACY. do you still remember Bush’s reasons for attacking Iraq? he’s big lair. ain’t he?
while i have a copy of the gospel and we never mention the name of Jesus without saying “peace be upon him” as we won’t be considered as muslims without believing in him, please mr. moronpolitics read some the replies i got from Dray who is really in dire need for a course in history and politics and Liperkin who wished the Holy Quran crumbel to dust. Liperkin read it first and don’t forget to read Mary Chapter and then wish.
Just for Liperkin, what is wahab ideology? any idea? and please my dear don’t be radical

He’s a dangerous fellow and all stops have to be pulled out to vanquish him and his kind (Islamic Jihadists). I have to admit, however, that I find that 2.5% tax rate he’s promoting pretty attractive. That’s one thing that separates him from the Dems.

Don’t be fooled by this faked video. Do you really think Osama is worried about grooming and dying his beard for this new video? Is it any concern to you that previous videos have been faked of Osama? Is it concerning that Osama was and still is a CIA asset? How about the fact that on the FBI’s most wanted list Osama isn’t wanted in connection with 9/11/2001? Supposedly Osama’s got bad kidney problems and needs dyalisis, but yet he lives in caves and makes video appearances just in time for 9/11/2007 to stir up the public once again. Wake up people… 9/11/2001 was an inside job and Osama is the boogie man we will never catch so the public thinks it’ll be ok to continue expanding our empire and taking away more and more of our freedoms to combat “terrorism”. The war on terror is a war on freedom designed by the new world order puppet masters of our government and media. I know you reading this are probably saying to yourself that I’m crazy, but take a look around you and ask yourself who’s shredding our constitution and bill of rights in order to combat “terrorism”? Ask yourself what the definition of “terrorism” is and then go look it up in the Patriot Act. This war on terror is a fraud designed to make us willingly turn ourselves into Nazi Germany in order to “protect the homeland”. I’m sick of you liberals vs. conservative idiots who think one side is for the people and the other side is for big government… It’s all controlled…It’s all big government… We’re all in trouble if you don’t figure this out… And by the way… The U.S. isn’t supposed to be a Democracy, it’s supposed to be a Republic… Look it up.

I think Osama is disappointed with the Democrats – he clearly would have voted for them. Evidence that being in Iraq is the RIGHT THING to do!

Once Osama is caught he should have at least 3000 pork sausages stuck in every orifice of his body to avenge the death of innocents of 9/11. A sick twisted sociopath. I hope Chomsky got the warm fuzzies by being mentioned by this sicko.

VOTE OBAMA & OSAMA 2008!!!!
They both have the same views and talking points!!
Hey democrats – looks like you have a new best buddy!!! He takes all of his talking points from liberals. What a sad sad state of afairs for democrats – Osama’s on your team!
Bin Laden is scared if a Republican wins in 2008 because then he will remain impotent and hiding in a cave.

They’ve either got OBL on the Republican payroll — like the handy appearance before the 2004 elections — or Karl Rove’s in a sound stage in Hollywood with a fake beard on. Why are we listening to this jerk, and oh, why is he still alive?

Uh, Bush was elected in 2000 and 2004, and bin Laden is still in a cave instead of either dead or captured because Bush took off for Iraq when we could have concentrated force in Afghanistan and nabbed him if we’d really tried.

Only problem in here is the liberals who make excuses for OSB and give him cover, you punk liberals still think american’s behind it.
You think the passinger of Flight 93 where racist for fighting back against the “freedom fighters” as you would call them.
You people are the scum of the earth, and no doubt OSB is preaching to the choir when he speaks to the liberal Demorats.
Unbelievable!

Realist: It is indeed hard to find someone like OBL, but we came close, and indeed drawing away resources made it harder. IOW, it’s not between 100% and zero chance of getting him, but with more effort continued in Afghanistan we would have had much better chance. Really, with even 1/4 of the (400 billion?) money spent so far in Iraq it would have been a good shot. Read “Operation Jawbreaker”, “Fiasco” etc.

didnt tim robbins mention the 650,000 iraqi number recently? hmm…

Look, anybody that belives that tape is of Bin Laden is crazy….Osama Bin Laden is on vacation, he was seen sucking on a margarita on Miami Beach. He looked well and tanned and surprising relaxed.

Why doesnt the mainstream media treat these Muslim fanatics like Nazis? They are just as evil and have the same goals

Karla, what good has OBL ever done? He just helped expose the Democratic party for what it is.
Thanks OBL!

Bin Laden: rot in hell you sorry SOB. One day we’ll find you and you will pay for what you have done. You and all your pigs.

UBL’s message is not to the American people it is to all the world that if we do not kill these bastards they will keep coming at us like cockaroaches. The idiocy of the “Lefties” that believe the Pentagon has mad this all up goes to show you how in denial they are. UBL attached during Bush’s watch. That means Bush had to strike back. What do you think would happen after such an attack that a USA president would sit back and “talk” with the enemay? what dope are you smoking. Just like snakes you have to kill or they will come back. We must kill as many of them as possible and fast!

Ok first off, this whole Bush thing is yeh for the most part correct about what hes done to our standing internationally as for causing global warming or causing anything else except a war and resulting deficit and loss of international rep…theres nothing hes responsible for…while those are massive issues we do have to take responsiblity for electing him the second time, or at least those who voted for him do…and while it might be enjoyable to go on a bush bashing camapign its just as easy to blame the previous white house for not handling the problem, or the previous one before that…as for taxes that benefit the rich, yeh they do so we should change that…i mean look, as a country we do have problems but intstead of this blog being a place to actually sit here and praise bin laden (which disgusts me as it should any true blooded american) and joke about him running this should possibly, maybe, become a blog that takes ideas and maybe turns them into a brainstorm or a collection of posts on how to fix things, maybe with luck word will get out…i mean what better place to start a nonpartisan discussion on our problems then a blog cause i dont believe that we can rightly blame our leaders (that we elected Bush as president and democrats as our congrss) for showing partisanship when this very blog shows how much we on average can have a serious intellectual disscussion without a osama bid laden should run or Bush sucks….our leaders wont take us seriosuly until we begin to show them were serious

you anti-american bush haters have found an ally, and it’s the guy that masterminded the death of thousands on 9/11/01. hope you feel good that the America’s Most Wanted has the same mindset as you do, sickos.

bin laden — may God boil you in oil you dirty bastard.

hey bin laden… embrace THIS: [middle finger]

I like OBL. He’s probably a pretty peaceful guy one on one. He’s still needed by Cheney, that’s why they haven’t taken him out yet.

Publius – I just visited Mount Vernon (George Washington’s Home) with my family. Every American should visit there and learn. Freedom isn’t free. Sometimes you have to kick some ass and take names.

Osama’s comments sound like a speech at the Democratic Party convention–except that he’s for lower taxes. Otherwise, the two are pretty much in sync and hate America about equally.

I like OBL. He’s probably a pretty peaceful guy one on one. He’s still ignored by the Clintons, that’s why they didn’t bother to take him out when they could (should) have.

Was that Osama or Harry Reid with a two week growth? Was it Osama or Dick Durbin in a turban? Show anyone rants from the Democratic leadership and Osama, and see if they can tell the difference.

I thought it was a sin in Islam to address vanity issues. His apparent use of Just for Men hair dye in his beard, and the disappearing bags under OBL eyes, indicates an obvious attempt to look younger. If he is not careful with the cosmetic surgery, he might start looking like Kenny Rogers!

Osama takes the democrats for fools. Can anyone blame him?

Congratulations, LIBS….your new comrade ‘ol OBL is now your new General in charge!! Wow, would Hillary, Barack or John want to give him a Silver Star for bravery?? For me, I’m locked and loaded and ready to kick it into automatic!! Got my M-16, IEDs and other arsenal ready to take on whatever comes my way. Be afraid…be very afraid…of true patriotic Americans!!

Who was Bin Laden’s speech writer… Miss Teen South Carolina?

I just learned the OBL will be playing the role of a American History college professor in the next High School Musical 5.

Sounds like bin Laden got his hands on the democrat’s talking points. I think a special investigation is in order to determine why democrat leaders in Congress seem to be on the same page as Osama. Surely he doesn’t have a cell in our Congress.

If the left listens real hard, it can hear the sound of the worm turning.

Kim i like ur thinking, nice post, i agree with u 100%
Publius

Isn’t it interesting that you LIBs can only repeat moronic slogans like that posted above?? Is your buddy, George Soros, in hiding like OBL?? Can’t make any talking points, other than supporting OBL, can you LIBs?? Your time is short….OBL will be the first to take you out on any new attack….as for me, ready to lock, load and kick it into automatic! You LIBs don’t even know how a weapon (i.e., M-16) operates. Maybe OBL will let you be his slaves, unless he wants to entertain his buddies with a sharp knife on someone’s neck! You LIBs don’t really have a CLUE! Too bad, but that just leaves the rest of the USA for us true patriots when all the dust clears!!

The Constitution gives us the right to bear arms, so get ready for the coming war in America! With OBL and the LIBs together, it’s going to be a real PARTY!! Get ready for the action you LIBs!!

Hi. The binladen thing is to be expected. He knows a majority of americans are getting frustrated with the “war”. News flash….. It’s not a war anymore, nor has it been for some time. It is bassically an ‘occupation’ now and has been for some time.
Those of you guys who think this is a war, quit watching the military channel and getting all pumped up, and rather pick up a copy of “CEASER’S COMMENTARIES’ and find out what occupying ‘Babylon’ was like in his time.
You want bin laden? Get out of Iraq, and go hunting.
Dont give me this crap we need to stay because there will be civil war ,ladda, ladda,ladda….Ever thought of your own?? Hey! there’s an Idea!
50 billion here, 50 billion there. It’s a coporate operation and everyone knows it. The Dems wont pull out cause their in on it too. Im too old to sign, but I wouldnt if I could. There is nothing in our constitution, nor in past practice that says we have to fight for the profit of private corporations.We were sucker punched by Bin laden, and suckered by Boy George.We Americans are taking ourselves Hostage.

Osama suffers from ED.

I would just like to keep this one going untill evryone “gets it”

The reason Bin Laden crashed those airplanes into the Twin Towers was to goad the US into a quagmire in Afghanistan. I think he was sorely surprised about effortlessly his cohorts and the Taliban were routed. Bin Laden’s plan is to first: unseat what he considers the corrupt leaders in his corner of the world and push the US and other western powers out of the region. Secondly: establish a caliphate from Morocco to India. Thirdly, dominate the rest of the world by intimidating Europe and isolating the US. Bin Laden and those with like minds are perfectly capable of the most heinous acts of terror to pursue what they think is God’s will. They are perfectly willing to die for their cause – in fact, they look forward to dying for their cause as long as they get the chance to take their enemies with them. This mindset makes it impossible to negotiate or reach a fair understanding. They have given us no choice but to get them before they get us. This conflict is going to last for decades. It is a generational problem. The US and its allies will prevail and defeat Islamic Fundamentalist Facism just like it defeated Communism and the fascists of the 20th century. But, it is not going to be easy and it is not going to be cheap – either in terms of blood or treasure. I am afraid, however, that most Americans will not fully understand this threat until they hit us again. Its almost like Al Quaeda will have to detonate a nuclear device in Manhattan for most Americans to wake up and understand we are at war and have been for at least twenty years with these people. We are not at war with “Terror”. We are at war with real people who hate us because we stand in the way of their ambitions. It is not any more complicated than that. We will prevail in this conflict just like we have in all the others – but I am afraid it is going to scary in the interim.

LIBs have no conscience….evidence: OBL’s and LIBs talking points = SAME THING!! Oh, but we’ll take care of that later…we’re just waiting and biding our time until the ACTION STARTS!!

First of all, the main concern isn’t if Osama is alive or not. Personally, I believe he is alive and ready to infiltrate the minds of Americans stupid enough to be convinced by his slander on our country, our government, and our religions. But that’s just me. Even if he isn’t alive, that still means SOMEONE IS OUT THERE TERRORIZING AND TEARING APART AMERICA VICARIOUSLY THORUGH A MOVIE.
Second of all, can’t anyone realize that he didn’t choose the issues he talked about by coincidence? NO! It was planned. So instead of unifying to bring down al Qaeda, we fight about the issues he mentions. He is fueling the fire.
Third of all, for all you people who don’t believe the GOP cares about all the soldiers in Iraq. I’m 15. and have a brother at Westpoint, and two cousins in Iraq right now. One of them is pregnant. So everyone who is preparing, fighting, and dead…. Do we mock them by drawing out of Iraq? Nice. Good option…How about we kill those who are already planning on dying for their Allah anyways? (Called a Jihad, people. Research the Koran.)
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

What would BARACK HUSSEIN OSAMA, oops, OBAMA, look like with a beard? Anybody else notice the similarities. Same build. Same attitude towards our military. Osama is using the same democrat talking points in this latest rant that I’ve heard on the floor of the senate and house of reps, not to mention throughout our media. I think bin laden is writing the democrat talking points. I’d be embarrassed to call myself a democrat when most of them agree with most of what the filthy animal said. Except for the low taxes part.
Why does it matter wether he’s dead or alive. He’s been pretty much neutralized anyway. There are still 1,000,000,000 more of those insane demons to deal with. How do we get rid of all of them? Maybe engineer a new strain of anthrax that only effects goats. Starve them to death in other words. Just an idea. Hope I didn’t offend any of you. I know we are supposed to be tolerant and sympathetic of a religion that wants to exterminate the rest of us. So, I have two options to save myself and appease the great OSAMA. Convert to islam or the democrat party.

U.S. judge fines Iran for killing Marines in 1983 Beirut bombing
http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/902040.html
Iran must pay $2.65 billion to the family members of the 241 U.S. servicemen killed in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, a federal judge ruled in Washington on Friday, calling it the largest-ever such judgment against another country.
These evil filthy hearted mass murdering terrorists will pay for their great wickedness.

if we are truly at war, and losing over there in Iraq is not an option…why not institute the draft…everyone says we have to draw down next year in any case…if the fight in Iraq is central to the war on terror…we should conscript all able body men and women into this fight…

Hey Eddie….where are the black helocopters? Got tin foil on your hat?
I am going to pray for you…..

Whether the tape is real, and whether Bin Laden is alive is superfluous to the situation. How many of you actually know the history of modern jihad against the West. I’m not going to list all the embassies, military equipment, leaders, and private businesses that Bin Laden and Zawahiri have razed. You can look it up.
While you’re at it, look up Sayyid Qutb, he is akin to the Thomas Jefferson of modern Islam. These maniacs don’t care about any of the things in this video; its all propaganda. They really truly want to revive the Islamic caliphate, and claim the entire planet in the name of Allah.
George Bush did not create Islamic Terrorism, neither did Bin Laden. In fact, many of their fathers and fighters were US funded mujahideen in Afghanistan against the Soviets. Bin Laden is a crazy Yemeni, who was given Saudi citizenship because his dad is a big construction Kahuna. He squandered all his wealth in Sudan, and now he whines like a baby because he has to live in a cave. Just like liberals whine because George Bush wants to take away their entitlements(read non-discretionary spending). This is why they make the same argument.

As an American, I do not fear Osama Bin Laden. We can defeat him (if we would start trying for a change). What are we going to do about the idiots and fanatics in our own midst?

I’m a “liberal democrat,” and frankly most democratic candidates don’t speak for me as OBL certainly doesn’t speak for me, either. I’m amazed at how many people in American write hate-filled diatribes about “liberal Americans.” How exactly does that make you better than those you hate? The reason OBL is such a problem is that he does hate, and he does believe in retribution for wrongs real and imagined, and he’s highly influential with many people of an extreme version of the Muslim faith. Let’s stop stooping to the level of knee-jerk reactions to other Americans of different political stripes and see if we can learn something from each other’s points of view. Most of the rants I’ve seen in this column are opinions based on feelings, not facts. No matter what our beliefs, we don’t strengthen our hand by reacting emotionally to each other. What does it serve us to hate our fellow Americans?

LOL, abc,nbc,cbs,npr,cnn all left wing prpaganda machines!

shrkm: i agree with what uve posted so far (except the draft thing i cant tell if that was rhetorical or not)so im curious about wht u think the most basic problem is in our nation right now

I heard recently that Michael Moore got OBL’s daughter pregnant! Better watch your neck, Michael!!

“Those who sacrifice their liberties for security don’t deserve either” – Ben Franklin
Hey “Real-News”
Was that quote by Ben Franklin before or after he called upon the commissioning of the U.S. Navy to fight the Barbary Pirates? Learn your history moron before you use it in a quote. You can’t have liberty without security. Prove I’m wrong. You can’t. No one can. Sound bites or quotes can not override the truth.

Note to tim: Why don’t you grab a plane or boat and head out of this country yourself? Seems like you like Europe and Canada so much! Those of us who, by your numbers, are in the ’20% reasonably intelligent’ category will stay here and kick OBL’s butt and any other idiot that gets in our way! Sayonara, LIB!!

Tom, politics.

“the rest of you idiots amd losers can go back to whinning and fighting each other till you die of old age or boredom. I live in the USA and embarrassed to say Europe and Canada have all the smart people – you morons all desrve the mess you put yourselves in.”
Quit whinning Tim. Move to Europe or Canada then if your concerned about the idiots in this country, because then we’ll have one less.

problem is rob -is – wrong you are in the 80% – dumb. the country has been in a backward spiral for years. stupid knee jerk reactions to problems instead of thinking things through to a tougher longer term solution. That is why so many people hate us around the world because we take the easy – tough guy way – out of things and it backfires. Smart people find smart ways out of things – your kick ass mentality has solved nothing, could not even catch one guy. Dope.

Let me get something straight.1- We were attacked by operatives of Osama Bin Laden.
2- Osam Bin Laden and his al-Queida organization was at the time of the attack based in Afghanistan.
3- Our military goes to Afghanistan and kills al-queida by the Bushel and toppels the Taliban Govt.
4 Osam Bin Laden gets away.
5- We are told by our government that Neihboring Iraq has weopens of Mass destruction, including atomic weopens according to Vice- president Dick Cheney.
6- We invade Iraq based on these “facts” and overthrow Saddam Hussein.
7- A pro American government is set up. THEN individuals elected to fill positions.
8- Saddam is Hung
9- Weopens of mass destruction are not found, intel turns out to be false.
10- American Leaders say we must stay however.
11- Osama bin laden is still Missing and very little is being done to find him.
12- 3700 American soldiers dead so far, 500 billion spent, no sign of leaving.
13- Democrat led oppisition say we must STAY
14 All of the above makes absolutely no sense.
15- WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??
16- Im truely afraid to post what the above leads me to believe the presentpolitical affairs of this nation.
17- But I can state this much…IETHER our leaders are VERY VERY stupid, or it’s worse than I thought.
18- That thought sends shivers down my spine..

Why did they cut out the part where UBL asks Americans to vote for Hillary??

“Oh my god, someone mastered copy and paste tonight! Now I can sleep…”
Sleep well Brian.

I’m a life-long Republican and conservative. I served for 5 years with the 1st Cavalry Division, the 7th Infantry Division, and the 18th Airborne Corps. I have two career military sons, one of whom is nearing the end of his second tour in Iraq. That said, if one forgets who the author is, I believe that Osama bin Laden’s speech has it about right.
We’ve been lied to and robbed by a bi-partisan criminal political establishment for decades. At present, these lying scum bags are trashing the Constitution and destroying our sovereignty with international agreements and failure to police our borders. In years past, when political sysems failed, the people overthrew the government. Our establishment has a new approach. It has decided to get a new PEOPLE! That is why neither party does anything about illegal immigration. It needs a new population of surfs.

If Bin Laden is trying to convert Americans to Islam he attempting to do so in keeping with his prophet. Read Walter Martins work “Kingdom of the Cults” available via Amazon.com
Not for nothing and purely from a secular standpoint does he really think he can ask Americans to sell out? If it were for the buck people could just fly over their and live in opulance :)

Our democratic leaders do get briefed on much more information than the public… and they continue to fund the war
why not let them do their jobs that we elected them to do? you are being led around by the media like a trained monkey

So. OBL is basically pushing the far left agenda. That ought to tell Americans something. Don’t vote for Democrats!

Why is it that Osama and Obama think and talk so much alike…..?? Something to ponder…..

Frank. Good point. I think alot of folks in this country can not begin to concieve of the possibility of elitist political thinking taking action.
Since the fall of the soviet threat, no one has been around to offset Geo-political kooks in this country. “Who can stop us now?
I personally dont believe this democracy was intended nor set up to be a superpower. That title was thrust on us at the end of ww2. Up til then we were nothing on the international scene, and bassically still a rural economy.
All the superpowers up til then… England, France Germany, had to historically maintain their empire by force.
I think we are testing the waters as we speak.

What’s the difference between the democratic party platform and islam? LOW TAXES.

So……where is this video linked at? Nowhere? Thought so.

I think Osama was on the Glen Beck radio show. A weekly episode of “Moron trivia”

“DEAR AMERICANS THIS VIDEO TAPE OF OSAMA BIN LADEN IS NOTHING BUT A JOKE BEING PLAYED BY THE DEVIL BUSH N HIS SATAN CRONIES WHO HAVE BROUGHT DEATH N DESTRUCTION TO THE WORLD IN GENERAL N UNITED STATES IN PARTICULAR, THE DEVIL BUSH SHOULD BE TRIED FOR WAR CRIMES LIKE THE BUTCHER OF BAGHDAD,JUST ASK THE DEVIL N HIS SATAN CRONIES AS TO WHY THEY DO NOT SEND THEIR OWN CHILDREN TO IRAQ N AFGHANISTAN

Okay, so does every Democrat believe this? If so, instead of blogging some wannabe clever response, do some soul searching, and research how Americans acted and reacted to enemies both foreign and domestic during WWII. If after doing so you still feel as our insane, all-capping friend here above, I weep for you.

More proof that the rhetoric of the democrat [sic] party and Al Qaeda are indistinguishable.
- Yeah, like the appeal to cut taxes to 2.5%! Oh, wait, that’s the Republicans who are always going on about cutting taxes…

Yay!!! 2.5% taxes ..sign me up to be an Islamofascist Jihaaaadi…lalalalalalala.
If anyone ever had any doubt about fighting this war, this statement should bury it.
Bin Laden gives two choices — they give up or we embrace Islam. Which do think Bin Laden is hoping for?

I am disappionted that I even read anything that BinBoy wrote, he is dead!!,let us not make him Elvis,,please, he does not deserve this merit.

getaclu – you maybe right becuase in the end we all will be losers

“England, France Germany, had to historically maintain their empire by force.”
If the above you mentioned were such superpowers how come we had to save their asses in WWI….or if England was usch a superpower how can a bunch of American farmers kick their ass in the late 1700′s.
Did you miss history class ??

So why is the number 1 criminal responsible for 911 still free. Of course this is what Bush planned and is happy to see. This is what allowed him to convince enough people to invade Iraq. So what did Iraq have to do with OBL – nothing of course.
It just amazing that we are spending more than $3 BILLION a week to occupy Iraq and OBL is still out there.
Let’s see the supreme court appointed Bush as dictator in 2000 and Bush ignored all the data to prevent 911 and then claims he will do anything to cause OBL.
Just 6 years ago, gas was $1.25 a gallon, we were not spending $3 billion a week to occupy Iraq and after 911 the world was on our side to fight the true terrorist.

Osama isn’t the threat, but simply the latest incarnation of it.
Terrorism is based entirely on the Islamic theological structure, and presented as an ‘edict’ from ALLAH.
This religion has given rise to violence as a method of intimidation and political motivation (just ask the caroonists). It’s evil based on an ideology that doesn’t permit, but instead insists, that infidels (such as you, my liberal friends) be turned by the sword.
It (Islam) represents world domination, the subjugation of women (ALL WOMEN) and BLIND faith in exchange for crimes against humanity, sold to an ignorant middle-eastern public in exchange for promises of sexual bliss. Seriously.
Women everywhere should be righteously pissed, and N.O.W. should be demanding changes and marching through the streets. Their democratic handlers won’t allow it, though.
Sorry to let the loonies (read: conspiracy theorists to stoned or illiterate to comprehend) down, but muslim extremism, and the terror tactics they perpetuate have been here since long BEFORE GWB or OBL.

Who gives a rip, it is just a matter of time and we will totally destroy Iran and then bomb the Pakastan/Afganastan border. Get ready for more “shock and awe”

You liberal pukes seem to always forget that your hero Clinton had OBL in the sniper sight twice and didn’t take the shot (coward). He did nothing after WTC 1 bombing, USS Cole…oh the list is endless. Your hero got us where we are today…..no iy actually started with the liberal asswipe Jimmy Carter kissing Ayatollah Khomeni’s ass in 1979 and lettin him overthrow the Shah of Iran which changed the entire middle east. Clinton was just the 2nd appeaser. Do your homework before spewing your communist vomit.

His comments about the genesis of the war, the conduct of the Democratic Congress, and the frustrated expectations of the American people unfortunately ring absolutely true. I think we should give the man a safe conduct pass to testify before Congress. He does, however, inadvertently indicate that he has difficulty admitting the real scope and nature of his own guilt for 9/11. He obviously has diminished in his own mind his evil behavior, as he claims responsibility for killing “your sons” on 9/11. He infers that he killed soldiers, or at least young men of martial age, when in fact the victims were old and young, women and babies, innocent civilians all. This behavior is prohibited by Allah, and Osama knows it. Poor Osama can’t admit that he has committed crimes against Allah, and against innocent mankind. It is this unconscious denial of the truth about his guilt, which makes him psychologically very vulnerable to being captured or killed, if we only had a President who was really interested in doing so.

Man someone did a good dye job on Bin Laden. I didn’t know they had barbour shops in the Hindu Kush.

Their are no taxes in Islam but you do have to sit out in the hot desert sand and eat camel crap!

Finally! A third-party candidate for President with a mainstream platform! Bin-Laden and Bloomberg in 2008!

Can’t argue that point on china….after all Clinton was duped by their nuclear program. Remember…Clinton trusted them that they said they would quit making nuclear weapons…LOL
Oh I forgot…the Chinese slept in the White House while Bill was there. I wonder what level of national security was breached there.

China and India are kicking their own asses. They will pollute themselves into extinction.

A new Zogby International poll released yesterday shows that 51% of Americans (up from 45% last year) want Bush and Cheney to be directly investigated for their actions on 9/11 and 67% fault the 9/11 Commission for their failure to probe the anomalous collapse of WTC 7.
Hours after the release of the poll Bin Laden pops up and promises us a new editorial comment. Coincidence? Precisely the same thing happened last year. On May 23rd 2006, a Zogby poll was released showing nearly half of Americans wanted a new 9/11 investigation. The very next day, Bin Laden popped up to reinforce the official version and threaten new attacks. Can lightening strike twice in the same place

It could be all about the oil thingy. Paying $3.09 gallon now hasn’t conviced me yet…but if the oil starts to flow from the 2nd biggest oil reserve in the world (Iraq) and I start paying a $1.50 a gallon again and Iraq resembles a nation of laws and governs itself through elections and they bcome involved in the global economy…who’s to complain.

Republicans HATE America
VOTE DEMOCRAT 2008

This is clearly OBL’s way of justifying his next plan. He is trying to make it seem like we are all at fault for our own actions, democrats, republicans, anyone…

No, tim, I’ve got an MBA, whereas your intelligence is very, very questionable! Too bad though, unless you’ve got more than 2 million times what’s in your ‘piggy bank’…. ;-)!!

The DemoLibs surely don’t lack for self-esteem – they KNOW they are right about everything and the rest of us are just ignorant little minions or worse yet – brain washed neo-cons. They are quick to equate the abberant behavior of a very few US troops under fire to the “terror by design” tactics of the Islamo facists. The reality of course is that the Jihadists are determined to subjugate / kill everyone else, including the DemoLibs. There’s a disconnect here somewhere.

Love all the Lib conspiracy theories on this comments thread. Can they be counted?
I do understand OBL’s admiration of Noam Chomsky, however.

Hey, Scott. I’ll bet 51% of Americans think Elvis is still alive.

Time for some perspective. We Americans live in a country that has done more in less time and with less people than any nation in world. Think about it. We were founded as a nation 230 years ago, yet somehow we’ve risen to become the most dominant economic/military country on the planet. How did that happen? Was it on accident? Were all of the great American inventions over the last 200 years just a series of very lucky discoveries? And why hasn’t countries with greater population (China) or greater land resources (Russia) or better think tanks (Germany) or more compassionate people (France) become great in the way that America has become great?
We are a country that have thrived by offering personal freedoms to its people who have in turn, been more productive than people from other countries. It’s that simple. And some amount of the hatred we receive from other peoples is nothing more than jealousy.
If freedom and democracy are right, then it’s worth fighting for and it’s worth being hated for. Don’t ya think?

all the zogby polls tells us is 51% of this country is braindead.

Ed….. 500 Billion in an occupation that wont work. 500 billion in WORKING TAX REVENUE to corporate war profits? and your worried about FOOD STAMPS??
Your worried about money being spent to Help AMERICANS??
You guys act like every penny ever collected would be given away to some welfare mama. LOOK AT THE SPENDING PIE on any fiscal year budget and see where the cash goes.
This Democrat spending spree fear is old hat. The conservitives are giving away alot more than the dems EVER HAVE. The repubs just make you THINK they dont.

Note to Mike: If you say, “Republicans HATE America” and “VOTE DEMOCRAT 2008″, then why do you love OBL so much?? He seems to be your and your fellow LIBs new hero now but still ‘HATES America’ and wants us all to convert to Islam!! Good call, Mike!

It is pretty depressing to read these comments. I find it appalling that people can blame the government for 9/11 and that both sides can shovel blame upon each other. Everyone, dems and conservatives, need to realize that the other side is not the enemy. We have a common enemy. Until we realize that and fight them AS ONE, I’m not confident we’ll be successful in this conflict.

Republicans and Democrats aren’t the same. We hear this often because both parties are lead by NEO-Conservatives and NEO-Liberals(which are the same), which are slowly converting there party members to rationalize there agenda, and throw morals right out the window when doing so. America can still be great, don’t be Con victim.

Why is it that libs *love* American gov’t when they are in charge, but it is the most evil thing in the world when conservatives are in charge?

Great post Alan!!

Alan you said “At the very least we can take heart in the fact that by forcing us into wars we don’t the terrorists are helping advance our economy (military spending equals money in real americans’ pockets) and our technology. A small reward for our lost men and women, but I’ll take it over the promise of virgins anyday.”
This war isn’t helping the American economy, in the long run it is breaking it. The Dollar is inflating at a rapid rate because of the Fed Reserve printing to much money to keep this economy looking like its doing well. I guess if you think borrowing 3 billion a day from foreign countries = booming economy then you are in for a rude awakening.

I concur Ed and point well taken. I do believe though if alive today….JFK would be a Reublican as well as FDR.

Rob Is Right… Are you accusing me of being a pro Bin Laden operative? According to your post you are. Are you willing to go to court with that accusation? Are you willing to go to court with proof of your accusation?

I’m so sick of all you liberals who bash our country, bash our troops, president, senate, and congress.

Mikey- You are ommitting details within your explanation. Emotion is the enemy of thought.
That 500 Billion is going into hard working americans’ pockets. Military men and women, vehicle assembly, manufacturing on everything from insignia patches and medals to MRE’s to jet engines. Civilian firms are making more money, and providing more jobs while contributing to our military branches in terms of technique, asset management and combat preparedness.
You would trade, by your statement, democracy for a nation, and the liberation of women, and fighting against murderers for MONEY? Not only money, but to HAND it out, instead of paying for the services of our heroes in all walks of life?
Read history: The vietnam war was won. Every commander of importance from the North has stated the fact publicly, many have written books. The TET offensive was a desperation effort meant to trick our liberal population into believing the struggle was impossible. By leaving on liberal terms the left VOIDED the lives of 50,000 american men and women.
You wish to repeat that reprehensible moment of your party’s failure to lead us? You want us to believe now, after you were so easily duped in the past, that THIS noble effort is ‘impossible?’
Odd.

This OBL….who no one even knows if he still breathes, at least to me looks terrible in whatever that was that we seen today!!!
I think Frank Zappa looked better the day before he passed!!

Note to Mikey: Too bad, your temper is SHOWING!!! Cool down, Dude, and recognize who your true enemy is!! It’s not Bush, Cheney, Republicans, etc. You need to see how OBL is using you LIBs!! Don’t be so blind, man!!

The way this article summarized the transcripts was very misleading. The author pulled out small phrases and completely misrepresented the meaning behind those words. Readers beware, read the transcript first before reading ABC’s summary.

This not bin laden. His nose does not even match with older picture/video of Bin Laden. I do not think its him.

Bin Ladin’s going to have to murder a LOT more people if he really wants to steal Chomsky’s affections away from Pol Pot.

Obama/Osama ’08 Is the dream ticket for the dems.

This is just GWs childhood budy coming to his rescue again. Anyone that can not see the reverse psychology being used here is stupid enough to vote for George again.

Bin Laden is about as religious as my big toe….he, Bush, NOR ANY past or present dictator EVER, FOR ONE MINUTE, BELIEVED IN GOD (DESPITE claiming what they do, is in the name of religion)!!! THEY ALL USE RELIGION AND/OR BS FEAR, IN ORDER TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THEM & DO WHAT THEY WANT THEM TO DO (W/bin Laden, they even COMMIT SUICIDE in the name of “Allah”)!!!

You conspiracy loons have to give your heads a big shake.
Remember Occam’s razor: All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the right one.
Just think what complexity of involvement a conspiracy by your own government would need to succeed.
Then think how easy it was for the 9/11 terrorists to act.
Which is more plausible?

It is troubling to think that OBL and the Democrats have a common goal of defeating America because they stand against their common enemy in President Bush. Hillary Clinton should consider OBL to be her running mate because they share a common message.

Republicans always want to keep it simple because that is all there small minds can handle-we are making enimies faster than we can kill them

TRH Great point indeed. Well, that pretty much sums it up………..

Ooooooooooooooh! I’m so-o-o-o-o-o-o sca-a-a-a-a-red! Give me a break. OBL lives in opulent luxury on his own island in Dubai. Every so often the neocons prop him up in front of a camera with a script to produce a video to scare the American sheeple. Al-CIAda is a farce. 9/11 was an inside job.

WAKE UP, YOU TUNNEL-VISIONED FOOLS!!! WE’RE BEING PLAYED BY THE BUSH’S AND THE BIN LADEN’S!!!

To TRH and Mikey: Again, you LIBs show your ignorance. Check your spelling and grammar, i.e., “Republicans always want to keep it simple because that is all there small minds can handle-we are making enimies faster than we can kill them”….from TRH’s post…. ;-)!!

Sarcasm Mikey, slow down think.

Rob…. you have an affection for correcting people. So does Islam. So does The taliban. Would I be correct to assume you have some sort of connection with these organizations? Or just of the same mental capacity?

?authority ,
Your ignorance is truly frightening.

Well, well, well….seems you LIBs now have a friend in ‘ol OBL himself! Does the pity party start on your end, or will you be inviting OBL to the democratic convention of traitors to America?? What say you, LIBs, do you like your new friend OBL?? What a terrible mess this world is in!! We can only hope that good Americans will not take this BS lightly!!

Whoa…everyone stop and take a deep breath.
I just read the transcript. It’s very interesting. OBL is very intelligent. There is something interesting here, though…he attacks the American people but then backs off by blaming everything on US corporations. That allows Americans to give pause and think about what he’s said…and question the value of democracy.
Very fascinating. He wants to rule the world, it appears.

Mikey- I never said a military state was acceptable. In fact, I firmly believe that the second amendment is meant to ensure our Government doesn’t go beyond it’s mandate. Myself, and all other conservatives, would be fighting in the streets for the rights we hold dear. That’s the key phrase. For what we hold dear.
The terrorists are in this fight to win it, and the only possible chance is to get enough Americans to bleed from the heart, and wax emotional over a very simple, black and white, issue.
Democrats really need to ask themselves- Are you? Are you committed to ending tyrrany, knowing full well that no two democracies have ever gone to war with one another, and therefore democracy equals peace? Are you willing to lay down your life to protect against aggressors? Are you willing to die for your freedoms?
Ignoring a threat simply won’t make it go away.
A strong and effective military, as I was pointing out, is essential not only as a deterent, but also as a pillar of our economy, two-thirds of which is driven by consumer spending. More americans with money (tax cuts and the members of our large military structure) equal more money for America.
Military state? Sheesh.

No Rino’s, Ignorance is not recognizing sarcasm when it is hidden in plain view.

Some of you idiots are too dumb to realize that you’re playing right into OBL’s hands by getting your conservative panties into a bunch…essentially over one guy in a cave.
Let’s see, he spends $300 on a camcorder, mentions Noam Chomsky, and leaks a tape…and you’re off to the races to spend another $300 billion in Iraq.
Sounds like his wish to destroy America’s wealth is succeeding pretty well without another terrorist attack…

Note to Mikey: Please check your brain at the door when you leave. I think you may be missing some gray matter?

Randy, OBL has a orange jump suit for you.

State of the Union address by the Democratic Party’s leader.

On September 11, 2001, pilotless airplanes were guided into the World Trade Center by homing beacons. It wasn’t a plane that hit the Pentagon, but a missile. U.S. Air Force planes weren’t scrambled to intercept the hijacked planes that morning because the White House was behind the events of that tragic day.

The Written Word says “He” will come as an Angel of light. As a “false prophet”. As a sheep in “wolves clothing”. The “blind will lead the blind”. Good would become evil and evil will become good. Recognize any of this yet? hint…….OBL and his little Demonic leftist liberals! “followers”

OBL is alive…we had him at Tora Bora but Bush and company figured he’d be more useful as the continual scapegoat. I hope they both burn in hell.

For those of you who believe it was an inside job, or that OBL and Bush have ties and conspired together to cause 9/11, you need to take off your tin foil hats and stop drinking that kool-aid. Evil exists in this world and it’s form is radical Islam…

I would like to thank ABC for providing this transcript. The core of Democracy is information, and trust in the People to sus out which is fact and which is propaganda with both in full view. By giving us that opportunity, you are doing a great service.

I see a lot of “useful idiots” on here. Same bunch who say never landed on the moon, JFK was killed by the CIA, and there are no terrorists. It’s these kinds of nut jobs that will get us all killed. Go back to your UFO sites and let the rest of us protect your sorry butt.

That tape is SUCH A FAKE. Does Chertoff even understand that many of us have read Orwell? The neocons are trying to do it again by spreading Fear.

thanx to american media for making the document illegible to all of us, praise be to your all mighty Bush, you push-overs! and we thought you were all for freedom of speech, at least let us see what it really says, instead of what the propagandists state it says! in this day and age the document should be able to be read.

Your all missing the picture:
1) It is not Bin Laden. Bin Laden has been dead for years. The only reason his body hasn’t been carted out yet, like a trophy animal, is that then we would all realize that al-qaeda is just a couple of 1000 nut jobs, most of whom are poorly trained, poorly organized and thus, no real bogey man.

To all you brainwashed Americans who believe that our government could never do something as evil as being behind the 9/11 tragedy – you probably don’t know that GW Bush’s grandaddy was once a CEO for a bank in New York which after WWI was implicated and forced to close it’s door’s by the US government after it was revealed to the public that the bank was used by many of the Nazi top brass to launder money for their own personal gains. Did you know that decades after the Vietnam conflict officers that were present during the supposed sinking of two of our vessels by the n Koreans came foward to set the record straight? It seems that the incident never occured.

This is such rubbish! AQ can’t afford a digital camcorder to make a clear, easy to see and hear video? It’s like an 8th graders attempt at a hoax! It’s so obviously a faked video. The government–in all it’s CYA glory–is going to say it’s real. Sure it is!

MM, I agree it has been so for thousands of years. The similarities in the prophets and messiahs including those of christianity are astounding and can be traced back to ancient Mayans and the ancient Egyptians.

No taxes. What an inovating idea. Wait a minute, that was the primary reason of Americans declaring their independence from Britain.

I bet Joshua the crying soldier is really proud of himself. Not ever soldier gets to be OBL’s poster baby for withdrawing the troops. Maybe Jane Fonda, Cindy Sheehan, and Joshua Lake can start a tour. A tour for losers.

I presume Mikerkb that when you wrote that you hd just been on patrol for eight hours under the ever present threat of roadside bombs, being sniped in 40 degree heat? Drinking water from bottles hot enough to mke Coffee?
Until you have had that honor do not diss troops in the field who sound off, in this case in front of a camera on ABC news.
Joshua has more guts and bravery in his little finger than you will ever have.

I am amazed at all of the experts posting on this site. We have so many forensic specialists who have inside knowledge of the secret counsels of the political parties! They know OBL is dead, that his image is used to boslter the Republican Party…or the Democratic Party. They know exactly when OBL was killed. They know the tape is faked. I’m certain they can prove it too. Just amazing.
Richard, I am not military, but I’ve known several men and women who serve and have served. You mention they’re special rights and all their benefits. Most of them live on poverty level. Their benefits are terribly overrated. They are paid to have their limbs blown off, to be insulted by their fellow citizens if the war is unpopular, to be separated from their families for months on end. How do you compensate for that? Richard you are upset because you think they don’t have a right to be heard BECAUSE they are veterans? I suggest you don’t have much of a right to be heard because you are ignorant.

If not fake…then Osama is dividing us further by taking sides in American politics.

Osama 2.0

Sporting his new Just For Men Haircolor look, Osama bin Laden is back in blackand now rhetorically indistinguishable from your average DailyKos post. Not only has Osama added global warming to his seemingly endless checklist of complaints again…

This “video” is obviously fake. Republican talking points are embedded.

Poor Osama doesn’t realize that most Americans just don’t care about what he has to say. While he has lived a pretty pathetic existence since 2000. Most of us have lived a decent life by comparison. He seems baffled by our behavior. It’s because he really doesn’t understand us. Al Qaeda could murder another 3,000 people in a US attack in the next couple of years. Within a year we won’t care. We’ll be up against radical Islam for the remainder of our lifetimes. We can witdraw from Iraq, we can stay. It won’t change anything. And I really think our complacency as a nation will continue to frustrate the hell out those that mean us harm. It’s actually kind of humorous. Enjoy your stay in that crappy cave on the Afghan-Pakistani border Osama, I got football to watch.

Gregg, to tell you the truth, I don’t understand us. We’ve lost focus on the true meaning of life trading it for an SUV, a big screen TV, an IPOD and more. We are one with the organism we call earth and an organism at war with itself is doomed.

Hillary…forget Obama as your VP, choose Osama (OBL) instead…he has the same talking points as the Democratic Party!

“This is such rubbish! AQ can’t afford a digital camcorder to make a clear, easy to see and hear video? It’s like an 8th graders attempt at a hoax! It’s so obviously a faked video.”
“Can’t afford”. “So obviously”?
This is a man who ABHORS Western technology. You expect him to utilize said technology simply because it’s available?
Since he didn’t go to the nearest Afghan Circuit City and buy the latest equipment this is somehow a fraud? How about we let the people who have even MORE advanced equipment make that determination?
Ignorance is bliss. Spoiled American kids prove this over and over.

“And I forgot to mention the buildings fell at free fall speed…”
Hmmmm. “Free fall” speed? For starters this is nonsense and if you look at the videos you’ll see debris fall faster than the buildings themselves. Secondly, “free fall speed” is a made up catch phrase that you obviously have bought into. Lemming.
That aside, I have two questions that NO conspiracy theorist has been able to answer yet:
1) Since when is the demolition point in the MIDDLE of a building? There is NO QUESTION that the point of destruction of BOTH towers was at point of impact.
2) Show me the controlled demolition that resulted in debris MILES away from the demo site.
EVERY demo expert in the entire WORLD has said there is NO WAY that was a controlled demolition.
You and your friends who “think” they saw something on an internet video are fools.
Where, exactly, did you EXPECT the buildings to fall if not down? They did NOT fall STRAIGHT down as would be expected in a controlled demo, mind you. Not even close.
But they did, in fact, fall DOWN. So you fools, instead of considering the law of gravity, use this as “proof” of a controlled demo. Any first year structural engineer student knows that theory is hilarious.

are you know that bin laden story is created by your goverment to stell your money

There has been quite a few times that we had Osama in the sights of a rifle and higher ups in our government would not allow the hit. It just seems a little odd that everytime Bush is slammed in the world news, all of a sudden there is a new threat from Al Qaeda to obviously divert attention away from this jackleg president we have. Impeach and put this traitor/war criminal on trial.

Hey, Noam Chomsky, Osama bin Laden thinks you’re “among one of the most capable of those from [our] side.”
Congratulations, Noam, to be singled out for bin Laden’s public approbation distinguishes you as the genuine Anti-American weasel you truly are.
Your kind of academic intellectual rot is the dung in which the bin Laden’s of the world flourish.

I have to wonder why it is he feels the need to tell us to convert to islam(submission) which is by far the most hated religion on the planet?
I can remember oslimy bin loser telling us all we would see mopre spectacualr attacks here in the united States.
Does anyone remember one?
I think the guy posing as bin laden is a phony and that the real bin laden has been dead for some time.
I just have to wonder if he died from being poisoned by his followers like mohammed did?

It is scary, i fully admid that…

“* No steel frame building has ever collapsed due to fire in more then hundred years”
Nor did the Twin Towers collapse solely due to fire.
“* Longer and hotter fires have burned one of the towers without a hint of collapse”
Did it first have a freakin airplane fly into it?
“* There is scientific evidence the twintowers cores were cut with thermate”
WRONG. THERE NO EVIDENCE “Scientific” or otherwise. NONE. ZERO. ZIP. ZILCH. that thermite was involved. PLEASE PROVE me wrong. You can’t because it isn’t true. You ONLY know what you read on some idiotic web site. PROVE ME WRONG!
“* There are many witnessess that have seen/heared secondairy explosions”
Duh. So what? They were 110 story buildings. Do you think MAYBE they had gas lines, transformers, etc. in them? Do you think MAYBE those things EXPLODE in a fire?
“* There are videocaptures of steel turning to dust without any hot fire beeing visible around it”
Really? Got a link for that? Didn’t think so.
“* The solomon brothers building (WTC 7) went trough a demolition experts textbook decent without it even has been hit by any plain nor was it seriously burning.”
Half the freakin building was destroyed by a tower FALLING on it. and it was the LOWER half.
“* BBC and CNN report the WTC 7 collapse prior to it actually happening”
Lots of things were reported incorrectly on that day. Confusion and chaos will do that. Does CNN or BBC stand by that early report today? Um, no. Why?

How and where did they got the idee WTC 7 was going to collapse as no steel frame building ever before crashed due to fire and no plain had hit it?
I dont believe it sustained that much damage from the collapse of the twin towers, show me material to prove me wrong

Hell, this sounds exactly like the Clintons, Edwards, or Obama. Nothing new here.

I’m already to walk everywhere, wear smelly old robes, face mandatory prayer 5 times a day,and turn our women into ghosts and stop educating our female children, behead our neighbors, stone dead bodies all in the name of OBL! Yeah George Bush is the enemy to our way of life!(sarcasm)
Time to fire up the pipe so I can keep on believing that.

“check the section “Thermate evidence part 1 to 8″, it may take you a while but that is hard scientific evidence as far as I am concerned”
LMAO.
You know zero about science, then. “Hard Scientific evidence” would be a scientific study that has been peer reviewed. NOT some nonsense claim by someone who claims to know something about science.
BTW. By the definition of the word “Scientist” I am one.
And I KNOW that it’s IMPOSSIBLE to have evidence of THERMATE after an explosion the force of the towers had. There could, theoretically, be evidence of THERMITE, but not THERMATE.

Sounds like a plea for all American voters to vote for the Liberals! Capitalism doesn’t work? Gimme a break.

Hey Jim Jones, get off your lazy butt and go fight in Iraq like I am now! Bush is in bed with the Osama, Bush needs him as much as he needs Bush! They are both sick and twisted idiots who enjoy seeing others killed and tortued while there hands are clean!Another Republican Chicken Hawk, His Guts, My Blood!
US Marine!

Men will rule the country again, polygmay is encouraged, and instead of a bunch of confusing laws, an interpretation of the Quran is all you need. Islam now rules most of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Since they’re already winning through our weak and politically correct society, why don’t we just jump on this guy’s bandwagon?

By giving the United States of America the oppertunity to convert to Islam, OBL has done what is required in the guidlines of the Fatwah, he now may attack, the Fatwah that was issued allows for 1.5 million deaths, that means the next attack may very well come in the form of mushroom clouds, especially since he also mentioned the anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan, heads up people, we may experience something like the scenarios portrayed in the popular TV shows “Jericho” and “24″ so all you libral anti war crowd need to wake up and smell the coffee, OBL stated the only way this war is over is by everyone of us dying or America converts to Islam and incorperates Sharia Law……Peace is for the dead!

The media here provides him with millions of dollars of free worldwide publicity so it is in his interest to keep the video tapes and audio tapes flowing regularly. Hasn’t anyone here the brains to figure this out and deny him this power over us ? We are being played like puppets on a string and he jerks the strings.

“Only liberals would actually believe that the US government is faking these Osama tapes.”
Funny thing is, not even the MOST liberal of politician even hints at this. Don’t you think Ted Kennedy would be shouting it at the top of his lungs if these tapes were fake? Nancy Pelosi? John Kerry? There is NOTHING that would help their cause more than to do so.
“It’s even more digusting that these liberals think exactly like OBL”
That is disturbing. Take out the “convert to Islam” parts and Usama seems to have the same speech writer as Nancy Pelosi…

I am a registered independent voter. We are now more polarized against each other than ever before – by design. We need to start being good Americans.

“The media here provides him with millions of dollars of free worldwide publicity so it is in his interest to keep the video tapes and audio tapes flowing regularly.”
“millions of dollars of free worldwide publicity”
Huh?
“Hasn’t anyone here the brains to figure this out and deny him this power over us ?”
Are you serious? This has to be the MOST ignorant thing I’ve seen yet.
You are effectively saying “Don’t tell the American public what he’s saying because thats what he wants”
“We are being played like puppets on a string and he jerks the strings.”
You watch too many horror movies.

You are getting very sleepy…….Look into my eyes…..

OBL references Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent which skewers the US commercial media. To the people on this board who criticize Chomsky AND have read this book, please raise your hand…crickets…crickets…

huh?

“Outgunned my ass”
Face it. You don’t know NEAR as much about the subject as I do. You know what you read on some web site and you BELIEVE it.
“i have seen enough evidence to convince me”
I rest my case. YOU don’t know that THERMATE can’t POSSIBLY be found on the site of the world trade centers. It’s not POSSIBLE. The elements that make up thermate would BURN OFF almost immediately in such a scenerio.
Now, therMITE could possibly be evident, except it wasn’t.
Convincing YOU was EASY. You WANTED to believe it. Actual FACTS, however, proved that theory wrong long ago.
“and forgive me my misspelling, american is not my native language”
Wow. It’s not mine, either. In fact, I’m pretty sure “American” isn’t a language at all.

ok michael, then you tell me how 2 planes could have brought down 2 massive steel towers and why WTC7 was brought down by demolition experts
and stop trowing mud at me about misspellings and weather american is a language or not

There’s no surprise that OBL uses an ABC News report about disenchanted troops to backup his propaganda points. Although it is troubling that ABC seems fine with it.
Have we EVER had a war that didn’t have unhappy troops?

Usama Bin Laden is the new PR spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. He is also the guest speaker at their next convention. He will speak by satellite phone from Pakistan. The Democrats have offered 50 million dollars to Bin Laden if he will stay hidden.

Clearly, all the references to high taxes and concern about mortgage rates puts Osama in the supply-sider/Reaganomics wing of the Republican Party. I always knew OBL was a Republican. They love to kill people while claiming to be people of god.

I read Bin Laden’s rambling transcript to the world.
He dislikes capitalism, (he’s a Democrat) He is upset we are kicking butt in Iraq and Afghanistan and wants us to withdraw (He’s a Democrat) He wants us all to convert to Islam and hates Jews (He’s a Democrat) He is upset at global warming (He’s a Democrat) Say no more. Want’s in your pocket ?

I have known for some time that the populace as a whole has really been dumbed down, but I really didn’t know how much until Bill Clinton was elected – twice! No knowledgeable person with character could possibly vote for him. But we have so far survived the tragedy. However, we are on a slippery slope if those of you on this site who are dripping hatred for President Bush and denigrating Republicans in a vile fashion ever become a majority. It is as though you are unable to comprehend honor, honesty, logic, common sense. I believe OBL is dead, but I don’t for one second believe anyone in the Republican Party is responsible for ths farce. I don’t know who is, or why, but I am not vitriolic and blaming the Democrats. I am a sane Republican. Republicans do not act on news with emotion first – we first react with facts, and until we know the facts, we keep our suspicions under control. Do all Democrats have no sense of decency? Or are the posters here not representative of the Democrat Party, but instead representative of the slightly silly and crazy crowd? Just asking.

Heroes andCowards

In a preview of what will be in his report on Monday, General Petraeus lays out the good and the not so good in Iraq:
General Petraeuss Letter to the MNF 
(h/t Intel Dump)
Of course, the Democrats and the media arent going to give him an…

Be very afraid! Forget how corrupt the current administration is… Be very afraid! While the current administration ignores the rule of law… BE VERY AFRAID – of our own government!

“and stop trowing mud at me about misspellings and weather american is a language or not”
I respect the fact that English isn’t your first language, but if you are going to argue in it, you can’t hide the deficiencies of your argument by saying “American isn’t my first language”.

where did misspelling changed any of my reasonings? now you are throwing with mud

“Does it really matter in this case how far the debris sailed? i dont see much relevance in that”
If you know ANYTHING about controlled demolition then, YES, it really DOES matter.
In a controlled demolition a building IMPLODES. Everything falls from the outside in. It creates a neat little pile right at the base of where the building used to be. A building 50 feet away isn’t even affected.
On 9/11 the buildings EXPLODED. debris flew for miles AWAY from the buildings. 6 blocks away the streets were covered in 3 inches of debris. This would NEVER EVER happen in a controlled demolition.
Not only does it MATTER, it PROVES the theory of controlled demolition absurd.

Liberals,
There you have it, he’s (bin laden) saying exactly what you have been saying from the start, embrace your leader…
Even users here are saying he’s right!
What else do you need to recognize that liberals/democrats and bin laden view America as the evil doers around the world are exactly the same. So, why don’t you all convert to Islam, join al-qaeda and the jihad, and save everyone the confusion to know who’s who and what you really stand for.

Usama Bin Laden being compared to a Republican is like Saying Hillary Clinton loves unborn children and she will give them protection of the U.S government until they are born.

Those of us who actually grew up love to sit back and watch these people bicker and fight over politics like 10 year old fake gang members.
It is funny that Osama dyes his beard though. He’s more American than he thinks ;)

“Total B.S. Bin Laden is dead”
And your evidence is?
“this video is a fake! And the elite are trying to tie terrorism into the anti-globalization movement, don’t fall for it”
LMAO
“bin laden died of kidney failure 2-3 years ago.”
Wow. You know his doctor, or something?
“Use your brains it makes no sence!”
Sense, even.
“Why would bin laden delibertaly praise democrats and attack bush in a message addressed to the american people knowing that by doing so he would only increase support for bush and decrease support for democrats.”
He didn’t praise democrats. What video did YOU watch? He pretty much buried Republicans and Democrats alike.
Now he DID speak like a far left liberal, if that’s what you mean.
“Bin Laden wants in Iraq he wants us in afganistan, he wants us over there the same way the soviets were over there”
How can a dead man want us anywhere?

“How can a dead man want us anywhere?”
i should say the people behind the bin laden mask want us over there. perpetual war against a military tactic. classic.

Clarification:
N. Korea is not an Islamic fascist nation.

“Anyone who has worked in the classified world can tell you that conspiracies don’t work because far too many people need to be in the know to keep anything controversial a secret.”
unless the conspiracy is about a bunch of militant muslim criminals planning and carrying out the hijacking of airplanes and slamming them into 3 out 4 intended targets, one of them being the military headquaters of the most militarily powerful nation on earth and the guy who plans it puts out press releases up to 6 years later and that he might kill more of us again at anytime so the best way to combat that is to invade 2 countries, let mexican trucks into the coutry easier and get americans on a national id card?
i’m supposed to accept that conspiracy theory?

“Hell, we can’t even keep legitimate secrets like the NSA wiretapping from being leaked. I can only imagine the number of anonymous sources that would line up at news organizations’ doors if anything like the conspiracies being proposed here were even close to true.”
Amen.
Can you imagine the number of conspirators it would take to pull off 9/11? Yet not a one was lured by a big book deal…LOL.

I dont care to be a lemming, at least i am no sheep

Osama and Al Queda must be really be feeling the pressure. He is calling upon his greatest supporters for help….the democratic party. Hopefully we continue the attack and don’t let up. I wonder if the democratic party will ever have a candidate that will wage war against terrorism, instead of retreat and defeat.

Sounds more like a speech written by Karl Rove.
He remember’s how to whip up fear and use it for Republican advantage.
Hell he even brings in the most favored of Republican values, a tax cut using a flat tax rate

“Michael, your words and laughter were expected. You are defending your beliefs just as you have been programmed to. “LMAO” and “wrong” are terms one uses when one does not have an intelligent response.”
I, of course, ALSO destroyed your arguments yet you have no answer for that?
LMAO.

“The National ID card you speak of has nothing to do with Americans. It has to do with ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.”
That’s just the excuse, they keep letting them into the country, they keep passing measures to make it easier for cross border traffic and then they say i’v got to be put on a national id database(REAL ID ACT aimed at american’s, gives states deadlines, read it) to combat that. The national id card isn’t the same as a ss card. WAY more info. why? ss cards to dont jack to tell who’s legal or not. but a guess a national id card that’s “tamper-proof” loaded with more personal info than a 13 year olds myspace page will keep em out… yeah right.

For OBL to talk the way he does, he must be hanging out here in America. It sounds like he has been hanging out with Rosie, Michael Moore, Harry Reid, and having an occasional lunch with Al Gore. The only alternative is that THIS TAPE IS A FAKE! Heck, he doesn’t even have his Islamic evangelism methods right. “I invite you to embrace Islam.” I thought it was “convert or die!”

Cellenin- the wiki articles are just out of convenience and the pages linked to have sources contained in them. debate the content, not what site it’s from. and i didn’t say anything about inplosions…

The video is about as real as Star Trek. Or did Osama go back in time via a trans warp conduit initiated by the Borg and make a video tape when he was younger and send it to our time? Have you ever noticed that the timing of these videos conveniently deflects attention from something going on eleswhere within the United States?

Well, since just about everybody else on the planet has posted a comment here, why not another? First, I find it incredibly incongruent that those saying GWB is the stupidest person on the planet also thinks he was able to pull off 9/11, generate fake UBL tapes, start a fake war in Afghanistan and Iraq, have some worldwide organization commit 400 terrorist acts a year for more than 10 years before his election, and currently foil a Democrat-controlled congress, just to name a few. Second, reverse psychology by a massive propaganda machine has infiltrated the far left to get people, through lies, illogical theories and blatant innuendo to start accusing your very own government of deception (for those of you who have swallowed that position, “good luck, buckwheat” for either way it goes, you have lost big time!), and finally, the forces arrayed against western civilization and democracy are formidable, growing, and will be the defining battle of this earth’s history. Figure it out and choose now whether you want liberty or sharia law. As for me, I will fight to the death for liberty, but will also admonish many of you to understand one thing–if UBL’s latest talking points are the same as the Daily Kos and other organs of the far left, it should give you pause, for either way it can be (a “mysterious fabrication” consistent with the Left’s talking points, or a genuine tape consistent with the Left’s talking points), it is consistent with the Left’s talking points. It doesn’t matter, now, does it?

Every time I read these articles people either slam the government or back it without question. No one is ever happy, but has it occured to anyone that YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT. If you don’t like what they do, then get elected and do something better. Until you show some attempt, your just the lazy version of our “horrible leadership.” I support anyone who gets elected 100 percent because I put them there, directly or not.

The innocence of yours is like my innocence of the blood of your sons on the 11th — were I to claim such a thing.”
So, he’s NOT claiming 9-11 was an Al-Queda plan?

michael- just a note, “lol” and “lmao” as a response is pretty lame.
“they” being the current and former administrations. measures being NAFTA, the SPP, ect. Watch the news any? see the spot about TEAMSTERS and the like being pissed about the trucks? With that new highway going straight through the heart of the country they don’t even chk for contraband(i think that the word) until Kansas. good for businesses in the three countries if goods can be shipped faster and easier, but not so good for stemming the flow of illeagal immigrants. and you’re right “we NEED to know way more about the people who AREN’T CITIZENS” and “The ID card has NOTHING to do with keeping them out.”, so why implement it? gather info on the ones who clearly are not supposed to be here and expel them(like the ones taking space in our prisons) gathering and centralizing more info on citizens doesn’t do that though they present it as part of a solution. they already refuse to get rid of the ones they know are not here legally, what is the point in starting a national id database to define who is or who isn’t here legal some more if you don’t go with the info you already have? makes no sense. because the national id card has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with the centralization of info on u.s. citizens. bush workjing on what clinton started.

“Wikipedia is absolutely THE worst source to use. Nothing on it is verified or verifiable. Any idiot can be the source of the info without any real oversight.” as i stated, sources for the info in the articles are present on the pages linked to. do you claim the info is incorrect and if so what in particular. saying “oh it’s from wiki.” oesn’t address the content, just your bias about a site you probably use regularly.

“So they have the tech to prove it’s bin laden but not the tech to track him down? makes sense.”
Of course it does. Comparing voice tracks is pretty simple.
Tracking someone down who is hiding out in a part of the world you aren’t even allowed to look is a tad bit harder…

So, it’s understandable to believe that there’s a massive shadowy network of powerful people trying to kill us for religious reasons and that they can pull of attacks like 9/11 and in spain, britain and they like and we’re all in danger if we don’t support our militant political leaders who say it’s an endless fight but we can win it, we just can’t catch the leader of this organization even when putting out press releases.
but to say that the above might be a load of crap propagated by those same political militants for to gain and maintain their own economic, military, and religous/cultural beliefs is out of line? even though political leaders have done so(successfully) before?
i’m convinced, let’s be scared of the bearded man…

“as i stated, sources for the info in the articles are present on the pages linked to.”
And I’m telling you this is meaningless when the original source is suspect.
“do you claim the info is incorrect and if so what in particular.”
I claim that Wiki doesn’t lend itself to credibility, hence anyone using it as a source is wasting their time.
“saying “oh it’s from wiki.” oesn’t address the content, just your bias about a site you probably use regularly.”
LOL. Nope. I NEVER EVER use Wiki as a source, nor do I ever look for info from it. I’m much smarter than that. ;-)

Funny how the posts turn crazy after midnight. Lots of little mogwai becoming gremlins.
Jet fuel is not ‘flammable’ it is ‘combustible’ which means, when exposed to high enough temperatures, it becomes an explosive force.
Why is it that bridges capable of carrying tanks have collapsed under the weight of marching soldiers half the weight? Harmonic resonance.
The impact, from an engineering standpoint, produces stress BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE STRUCTURE’S DESIGN. Sky scrapers are balanced against forces that may impact it’s delicate ligaments from the GROUND. Earthquake fears, terrorist attacks, compromised support elements are all designed to be absorbed by the less rigid steel components, with brittle concrete used (supported with rebar) to bear weight.
The weight of the structure, coupled with a focal point of impacted, and then combustible energy, SHOULD have fallen. It’s no mystery.
And quit whining about Bush. This economy lost trillions of dollars that day- not to mention 30% of the nation’s most valuable real-estate, and then hundreds of billions in related costs and lost commerce BEFORE clean-up began. Another few hundred billion disappeared there.

Yes Yes – fight global warming… and let all the illegal immigrants in (never mind those who came in legally and followed the rules of law)… and then when another 9-11 happens, we’ll all go home to our “green” cars and “green” homes and feel so much better about ourselves for ignoring the vast threat

To Joey Big Time with your question regarding “The innocence of yours is like my innocence of the blood of your sons on the 11th — were I to claim such a thing.” Bin Laden is castigating the US for being guilty. Hence, in this statement he’s equating (his perception of) guilt to guilt. So no, he’s not denying involvement on the 11th–he’s blatantly taking credit for it. Putting it in other terms, he’s accusing us by saying “You’re just as guilty as I was on the 11th.”

Except for the references to a god, any god, I thought it was leader of the Democrate party. I had to go back and see for sure who had said this it sounded like the same talking points.

It sure seems to me from the statement that the Democratic party in wanting to pull out troops is just what he wants. Does that not dawn on people in this country?

Let’s just say I sleep better at night knowing that we have a great Commander in the office. As far as the picture goes, it looks fairly grainy. So I am going to guess Osama is most likely dead. Don’t you think he would release more statements if he was all powerful and more often?
