And the NBC Prime Time lineup is a great concern to me. How do they expect to beat Fox with all that crap?
AFP: US studies Bin Laden video, CIA warns of Al-Qaeda plots — This some sort of hoax? Is Bin Laden worried about some investments? I think whomever has phonied up this tape has gone too far.
According to the ABC transcript, bin Laden also speaks about recent issues grabbing headlines in the United States, referring to “the reeling of many of you under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes.”
“To conclude,” bin Laden says, “I invite you to embrace Islam.”
I heard his new video has a kick butt beat. Even if it is Rap.
The video was bizarre. He seemed to just be rambling off a series of liberal causes, one after another, dropped Noam Chomsky’s name, and said very little that was even threatening. And his Just-For-Men beard. . . tacky.
If this is some transparent attempt at reverse psychology, then I guess we can assume he is very pleased with the Bush administration. Either that, or he’s turned over a new leaf, and is ready for his new role on Hannity and Osama. Oh, the witty banter they will have, I’m sure.
Don’t you all know…. They’re releasing a series of Osama tapes, called “The White House Basement Tapes.” Special guests to appear are George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Karl Rove And The Neo-Con Five, The Flat Earth Society, With Ronnie And The Reaganites, and the all time favorite Neo-Con band, NIXON!
They plan on making millions with this carp!
That photo is from at least 10 years ago. Is it supposed to be a still from the latest release?
It may not be a carp, but it smells like a red herring.

Oops, meant to caption that first: that image is from the new video.
Hmmm, is he reading Dvorak.org now?
This is not a surprise. He attacks Bush any way he can, and uses whatever he thinks will work with his audience. In his 2004 video before the election, he said that his troops got valuable time while Bush was reading My Pet Goat.
Why can’t he just reveal the connections between his family and the President’s?
Interest-free loans are one of the tenets of Islam, as far as I know from reading “Londonistan”. bin Laden and his henchmen must be jumping for joy seeing the U.S. drowning in usurious interest and debt up to our eyeballs.
So Osama calls upon us to “do away with the American democratic system of government”?
no worries Osama, we’re halfway there.
“To conclude,” bin Laden says, “I invite you to embrace Islam.”
wow, after he’s been so nice to us, it would be downright rude to turn him down now.
Li, that has to be a file photo; not enough wrinkles from the weather and his beard should be pure white by now.
I don’t have the bandwidth to download the video. The still on Fox makes him look old and fragile, reasonably enough (having been badly injured or taken sick are more likely reasons for his absence than “security”, IYAM), but he has a pure black beard and age is respected by those he is trying to influence.
Something does not add up.
Phuk the jokes. Why the hell is this Republican wannabe still walking the earth? Let him meet his 72 virgins.
I would think that he would talk about current events as to prove that he is still alive.
That comedian who posed as Osama was more convincing
16 – You a city boy?
And I invite Osama bin Laden to embrace Islam as well.
#12 That was really what he looked like on the new video. You underestimate what make-up and hair dye can do for ya. He mentioned Kennedy, apparently he thinks he has to debate Nixon and, thus, he has tarted himself up like a two-dollar hooker. Or perhaps his lanky bones are having a hard time picking up those famously loose tribal Pakistani chicks. If you think shotgun marriage is fun, just wait until you experience a good honor stoning!
He says he still needs more help from the Democrats and that the only way to end the war is by ridding the US of democracy.
If that’s what it’s going to take to end the war, everybody ok with that?

I have seen the official wire copy to the transcript (AP). This was delivered at least two days ago (about seven pages in PDF format). I, however, can not seem to find the actual video (in full). Can someone please post a link to the full, unedited video.
C’mon now… the guy’s offering 2.5% !! But then, what’s his view on tax-exempt interest income?
Why does all this remind me of that scene out of the movie “Network” when they are negotiating with the terrorist group, the Ecumenical Liberation Army, for TV residual rights and an overhead clause?

Bin probably got fucked on his mortgage too!
I saw one **terror expert** say that he has dyed his hair and beard to appear young and vibrant because his movement is primarily made up of young Arab men and the *younger looking* Bin Laden would appeal to them more.
Can you say…….PUKE????
Fusion….I thought he was more leftist than rightist…..oh well, hard to tell your demagogues apart these days. 🙂
I don’t get it..is HE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, too?
