Speaker condemns West over freezing funds to Hamas government

Sunday, April 23, 2006; Posted: 8:56 a.m. EDT (12:56 GMT)

"Parts of audiotape purportedly from Osama bin Laden aired Sunday on an Arabic-language TV network in which the al Qaeda leader attacks the West for cutting off funds to the Palestinian Hamas-led government. The remarks about the halting of funds suggest the tape is relatively recent.

Al-Jazeera, which is based in Qatar, said the new tape is from bin Laden. CNN could not immediately confirm the tape's authenticity.

The speaker on the tape says "the opposition to the Hamas government is proof of the crusade against Muslims."

The remarks about the halting of funds suggest the tape is relatively recent. The United States and some other Western nations have officially halted contributions to the Palestinian government since Hamas took over."

please begin the Two Minutes Hate.

2. You know Chimpy's in trouble when they trot out Osama. nt

3. Osama is as reliable a Bushevik operative as you could ever want

He always relases his tapes wheneever Der Fuhrer is in trouble!

And his Bush Campaign Video/October Surprise in 2004! A masterwork that even George Orwell could not have improved on!

4. Don't you wonder if he is really alive?

Besides, what the hell did Hammas expect when they openly want to destroy Israel and are active in bombing it. They sure don't have my sympathy.

[Frank Cannon]

6. To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson...

I'm sick of these motherfuckin' "surprise" tapes of that motherfuckin' bin-Laden.

[megatherium]

8. Supposedly, bin Laden communications are signals to cells to launch

attacks. The last communication was soon followed by the unsuccessful attack on the Saudi oil facility.

[buzzard]

9. It looks like he has been using grecian formula, how likely is that?

[stray cat]

16. its an audio tape only - no video

10. The Henny Penny Administration

the foolishness of the Bush admin
(Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey)
gets pretty tired after a while... it's not even funny anymore.
These clowns are a fox's breakfast.

[CJCRANE]

11. Who really cares

what bin Laden says any more?

Someone please just go and nab him or if not just let's forget this whole war on terror thing, it's getting into tired "he says, she says" territory.

[Patsy Stone]

12. Mr. 33% cares, and hopes you're scared.

Scared enough, in fact, that you'll vote Republican in November. But remember, * "just doesn't spend that much time thinking about him."

[malaise]

13. Saw this on BBC and nearly

choked on my coffee. I swear Osama is a full fledged member of the PNAC.

[iamthebandfanman]

14. Of course he is, its an election year. n/t

[abluelady]

15. Turned on the TV This Morning

It was on CNN and there he was. I was ROFLAO. I wonder if 33 was the magic number when he had to be pulled out. It is good to start the day with a laugh.

[C_U_L8R]

Even the Freepers are unimpressed

another big yawn from the Department of Propoganda

[noamnety]

17. hilarious

I can't speak for the rest of you, but I suddenly feel the need to look to W. for wisdom and a sense of security. I'm just glad I haven't gotten the latest zogby poll yet, because let me tell you, this changes everything.

(If anyone needs me, I'll be in the kitchen clearing off space on my fridge so I have room to put up a portrait of my president.)

[Patsy Stone]

18. I'm not sure the fridge is large enough

Perhaps the back of the front door?

:hi:, fern!
