White House: US intel says bin Laden tape authentic
By Reuters | April 23, 2006

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. --U.S. intelligence agencies believe the latest tape released by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is authentic, the White House said Sunday.

After being informed of the intelligence assessment, White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters traveling with the president, "The al Qaeda leadership is on the run and under a lot of pressure."

According to an audiotape aired Sunday attributed to bin Laden, the al Qaeda leader urged his followers to prepare for a long war against Western would-be occupiers in Sudan's Darfur region and said the West's shunning of the Hamas Palestinian government showed it was waging a "Crusader-Zionist war" on Muslims.

"We just heard from the intelligence community that they believe it's authentic," McClellan said.

President Bush was informed about the bin Laden tape at about 6:30 a.m. local time.






I know this is a lie George never gets up before 10:30am...

[ShortnFiery]

1. Oh boy! Just in time for a new news cycle of fear-mongering. eom

[Sparkly]

2. Just to be clear, which part of it makes you want to scream?

There's more than one possibility I can think of...

[Flabbergasted]

6. The first thing that bites me is the first line...

Within a matter of hours they have confirmed the tape as Bin Ladens....

This is all bull fucking lying manipulation....


Not even considering buying this one...


Now the link to Hamas......LOL


Oh god these guys need some better ideas.

[Sparkly]

9. However, at this point, it's a reminder of their failure... nt

[Flabbergasted]

10. They're going to drill this through all the way through mid terms....

[Sparkly]

15. Easy ammo for Democrats!!

HERE is the result of this foolhardy misadventure in Iraq -- the man behind 9/11 is still out there, taunting us!!

[Flabbergasted]

16. Lets hope the dems are able to work that to our advantage....

[Sparkly]

17. I think they're on track with that... nt

[cosmic _mind]

28. this sept 11 will be the 5th anniversary

of not catching Osama bin Laden. i think that's something people should be angry and marching in the streets about, esp. if they're really serious about fighting terrorists. this so called war on terror is bullshit. time for people to send the message.

[Sparkly]

30. Yup -- And welcome to DU, cosmic_mind!!

:hi:

[AngelFactor]

3. Assessments

Without Bin Laden's tapes we might never know how things are really going.

B B B

American Justice? Sure, so why is an attorney getting away with tampering with court documents even though he “inadvertently” filed three pages of emails detailing what was done with the court.

See for yourself: http://www.maximumadvocacy.com/Court_records.html , look on pages 25-27 of document 64.

Unbelievable. Priceless. Hilarious, if it wasn’t so sad but true.

How’s your faith in the justice system?

[kentuck]

4. And they can't trace it ?

It came thru al Jazeera? Who gave it to al Jazeera? No one can ever find out?

[Flabbergasted]

8. No one asks that question.......? Wonder why?

[shaniqua6392]

5. How convenient!

The Iraqi's are "really close" to forming a new government. (Again)
Pakistan reportedly killed Al-Zawahiri's #2 man. (Again)
New Bin Laden taped released. (Again)
Funny how all this crap comes about when Shrub's poll numbers are 33% in a FAUX NON-NEWS poll.
Well, I believe it with all my heart. I am soooooo afraid!!!

[caledesi]

7. I dont believe in coincidence and this just proves it. Whenever

these thugs are in real trouble, they trot out the bogeyman.

[BrklynLiberal]

12. Just proves they are working together.

[Sparkly]

14. I used to think that, but at this point I think it backfires on them.

Democrats have been hammering hard -- and FINALLY some people are waking up -- on the fact that Iraq diverted resources that should have stayed on Bin Laden. I think people are awakening from their patriotic stupors to realize that Osama and Saddam are NOT the same person.

[Olney Blue]

11. Osama live on tape = al Qaeda on the run and under pressure

:wtf:

[Flabbergasted]

13. What's this about.......?

"long war against Western would-be occupiers in Sudan's Darfur region...."

[Ecumenist]

25. Convenient, isn't it?

Always coincidentally close to any area that is dragging them down. In their eyes, this provides them with an excuse just when they need it most.

[saltpoint]

18. They ARE on the run. Hardly a day goes by when one of them

doesn't whiz past my house, down the street, obviously fleeing our Special Ops folks and/or Toby Keith.

George Bush has put the fear of his fundy Christian God into those heathen A-rabs, I tell you!

As for bin Laden himself, we would have HAD him by now but we were thwarted by those lily-livered French, the Old Europe Germans, the liberal media generally and Helen Thomas specifically, and of course, Jane Fonda.

We're smokin' 'em out. Freedom's on the March.

[blm]

19. Of course it had nothing to do with the fact that Kerry and Dean rode Bush

ass every which way but loose the last few days.

[Sparkly]

20. But they're constantly riding him for not getting OBL...

So I think this hurts BushCo, doesn't help them...

[blm]

21. In a normal media world, that fact would be front and center every night.

Where is the high paid mainstream news guy ending his newscast with the number of days that Bin Laden has gone uncaptured?

[lisby]

22. Another tape from big bad bin Laden!

I need my blanky and my Uncle Dick!


Lisby
:hide:

[Ecumenist]

23. Isn't it something that these tapes always pop up when

bush's polling numbers fall through the floor and he has a lot of problems?

[shenmue]

24. Anybody want to catch him at some point?

Asses.

:dunce:

[liberal N proud]

26. Starting to build the fear machine for the November elections

or to tie Iran to bin Laden, one or the other or maybe both.

[Digit]

27. When did the tapes begin to be only on audio (ie easily faked)

I am just curious.

[Frank Cannon]

29. Since OBL with his international financing couldn't afford a camcorder

:eyes:

[skeeters2525]

31. Maybe The Next Tape

Maybe the next tape will be Bin Laden saying, we are working with Iran.

C'mon Bin Laden, how much are we paying you. Get your talking points down.

[Flabbergasted]

32. You can bet on that one!
