DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Jazeera television said on Sunday it would soon air an audio tape said to be from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

It said the Saudi-born militant would speak on the tape about Iraq, Sudan, and the Palestinians.


You just knew it was coming...

From CNN's breaking news banner: Al-Jazeera airs purported Osama bin Laden audio tape that contains reference to Western cut-off of funds to Palestinian Hamas-led government.

MSNBC Breaking: Bin Laden blasts West for cutting off funds to Palestinians. More soon ...

3. The only reliable thing * has going for him

Is a "new" terror tape from his buddy "Osama"

5. Poll numbers down, myriad scandals........

a BIG White House shake-up :eyes: Yep, time to pull the bogey-man out of mothballs again. Get that fear factor rising. QUICK! Get out your plastic sheeting and duct tape, the world is coming to an end! Rapture, here we come! :woohoo:

[redirish28]

22. makes you wonder what will happen this week... Indictments? More scandals?

8. *snarf*

...or a friggin' video tape. ;)

[justice1]

18. I'm giggling

[UpInArms]

10. Oh Goody! Now the Sunday TalkingHead Shows will have their

pre-arranged points to go for! Reminds me of those Sunday NYTs headlines under the by-line of Judith Miller.

[WePurrsevere]

11. Oh yeah... that reminds me (like I've actually forgotten)....

WHERE is Bin Laden and why haven't we caught him yet? Could it be that we were sidetracked by a wild WMD chase in Iraq... or just bamboozled & baffled by Bush*t?

Is there any real correlation with these announcements and an increase in BushCo's poll numbers? I would think it would only remind folks that BushCo has NOT found and caught Bin Laden and that it's at least partly because we shifted gears to Iraq and the LIES about WMDs there. (Although I must admit I'm one of those that feels that BushCo knows exactly where Bin Laden is and has all along. :tinfoilhat: )

[uppityperson]

34. I'm hoping so, that it reminds the recently converted

those who have finally tired of the lies and are distrusting of Mr.bush.

[WePurrsevere]

36. Yeah... you would think that after a while even the densest folks would

see through the lies and BS and figure out that they've been badly manipulated and lied too.

12. Evergreen!!

The best there is. This one never gets old, does it?

[AussieDave]

13. TERRA !! TERRA!! TERRA !!!

BOO!!!!!!

14. He says he's looking forward to the new neil Young album.

:sarcasm:

[lagavulin]

15. I heard he admonishes the Iranians as "insane haters of freedoms"...

...but then praises Allah for all the nuclear weapons he has personally watched them building.

I wonder if this is the audiotape where he sounds fat or the one where he sounds thin?

Actually, despite the plethora of IT equiptment and disposable cell-phones that al Quaeda possess, Bin Laden prefers to record on 8-track tapes. It's a nostalgia thing, don't ya know...

[Pastiche423]

33. He sounds fat or then?

I believe it's where he'll sound dead.

[Notoverit]

16. Who? This guy?

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." -- George W. Bush, March 13, 2002

[warrior1]

17. Right on time

[Daphne08]

19. Yep, right on time for Mr. 33% and Mr. 18%... n/t

[dipsydoodle]

21. At least if Al Jazeera aires it

the world get's an honest, unedited and accurate translation.

[kurth]

23. Time to renew our fight against terrorism

with another round of tax cuts for the rich.

[IndianaGreen]

24. Let's see, Bush is at 33% so Osama Bin Forgotten makes an appearance

This is getting very old, and I no longer care how many times they roll OBL out just to change the public discourse in the US.

OBL loves Bush because Bush has given OBL stature and credibility to a significant part of the world.

[ckramer]

25. Without Bin Laden's help, where is Bush today?

Bush needs him.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

26. Apparently Josh Bolten has a "6th point" in the "5 point recovery plan"

Can Josh Bolten Rescue the Bush Presidency? He started by shaking up the staff. Next comes a five-point White House "recovery plan"

[54anickel]

29. Thanks for the link. Interesting 5 points and his strategy for each. It

might just work for the Bush base, but I don't think there's enough there to win back those who regret ever voting for him.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

32. The "strong economy" tactic kills me...

...I have to ask myself how many working-class families...people working two or more jobs, people cutting corners to afford gas in their cars so they can commute to work...how many of these people will rejoice when they learn that "the investor class" isn't feeling the pinch?

You're right, this stuff plays to the base...but the problem is that for the base, there is NEVER enough. For the base, it's not about survival and being able to afford necessities. It's about more, then MORE, and after that, some MORE...

:patriot:

[leesa]

27. Here we go again...another fake OBL tape trotted out when Bush is in

trouble. Can't say they weren't best buds! I wonder if this was part of the contract they drew up pre-9-11 we get to use your name and old video for 30 years post 9-11, and post your death from renal disease, to continue the terrorism scam, in exchange for removing troops from Saudi Arabia.

[newspeak]

30. it's amazing how OBL knows just when to

do these tapes. Right before the elections and now when "whose name that must not be mentioned" approval rating is in the crapper. Hey, I hear terrorism has increased around the world, even though this administration did away with reporting it--and hey, I hear AQ recruitment is up---yeah it seems * is OBL's wet dream, or is it vice versa?

[VegasWolf]

31. It will be interesting to see if the evil empire's ploy works. People no

longer trust the evil empire to keep them safe from terrorism. Especially with gas going to 4.00 a gallon.

[llmart]

35. I hate to tell Bush.......

but this diversionary tactic no longer works. Give it up already. No one believes you you friggen liar!

[Rex]

37. So they cued up Benny, for what reason?

I wonder if he will come out with the oversized sunglasses on, just because.


"What, what, is there something on my face?"

[Frank Cannon]

38. Just when I forget why we have a useless moron in the WH...

bin-Laden appears AGAIN to remind me that that infantile fool who cannot speak a coherent sentence is supposed to be MY PROTECTOR. The brain-damaged coward who has never done a thing right in his whole life is supposed to somehow keeping me from some sort of harm. Oh, protect me, you drunken, snickering dumba$$!! Save me from the swarthy, bearded evil-doer on the awful videotape!!

It just doesn't work anymore, George. Even your stupid followers never believed it. They just didn't care at first, because you were THEIR boy. But now it's just not tolerable anymore, for anyone. We're sick of it. We're sick of you.

[HuffleClaw]

39. i expect this will be USAma bin laden

the 'fat one'

[daleo]

40. Bin Ladens says: "Vote for Bush/GOP"

"Only he can protect you from my wrath. Grrrr."

[Jose Diablo]

41. What will this guy do to help Bu$h.

Just like clockwork, up pops OBL to save Bu$h's political bacon. Look at the last election, how transparent can they get?

[NYC Liberal]

42. I smell INDICTMENTS.

Mr ROVE, perhaps?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

[0007]

43. Yawn, 'tis almost getting to point where ya can't predict

a Bin Laden tape.

[cliss]

44. Don't forget --

This week, Karl Rove had his domestic portfolio taken away from him (Mr. Bolten). Karl Rove is supposed to focus 100% on the upcoming Nov. 2006 Elections.

Looks like he's gotten started.

[yurbud]

45. ...and santa's sleigh was just spotted by air traffic controllers...

when will everyone just admit that bin Laden is bin bullshit?

He's a fucking muppet in the white house basement.
