Osama Bin Laden has claimed responsibility for the failed attack on a US airliner on December 25 in a new audio tape.

In the tape obtained by Al Jazeera, the world's most wanted man warns Barack Obama, the US president, that there will be more attacks unless he finds a solution to the Palestinian crisis.

2. And we know this is Bin Laden?
Strange there is a picture and someone reading. And we are to buy this?

18. It's like our intelligence officers are phoning it in, in more ways than one.
Intelligence failures to exponential levels, count me as skeptical too.

Thank gawd almighty, there is someone who says the buck stops here and holds accountable and fires all those who failed.

19. And with regards to pictures of this former CIA employee, in case anyone missed this story
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7486974

Odd story, that. Though I am sure there are rationalizations and explanations aplenty, some may even be credible I am sure.

20. Because he looks almost exactly like the "What would he look like today"...
...computer enhanced pictures that have been recently put about.

Of course it must be him.

3. After the events of last week
ObL doesn't even make the Top 100 Enemies of America list anymore.

He will probably have a hissyfit and ask the GOP to tone it down a bit.

6. Can't they find body doubles for bin Laden anymore?
All of this country's resources and an audio tape of someone that doesn't even sound like bin Laden is the best they can do?

12. Excellent, Rosa. The false flag of 9-11 is about to be repeated, but
this time the beneficiary will be Democrat. It simply amazes me how easily people are duped... Now, come on, someone come back with: oh, you nasty conspiracy nut!

8. Why is it that when anything "terror" comes up, no one knows where Cheney is?
Just a coincidence, I suppose.

9. I have believed for a long time,
that if the U.S. Government wanted OBL, all they simply had to do was kick down the gates of the Royal Saudi Compound and go in and grab his ass.

14. Great Britain is under heightened security alerts because of
terrorist alerts.

You don't think that has anything to do with the hearings they have been conducting on whether the war with Iraq was illegal, do you?

17. Psych-op
Hoax, on the American people to keep us worked up with out the color coded Fox news alerts going orange or red every other day.

Rove and Cheney have been out of the spot-light and behind the scenes for a while. Busy, busy, busy.

21. There are those in power, perhaps secretly, who consider OBL more valuable as a boogeyman
than a prisoner.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's another terror attack that's pinned on OBL, somehow giving us an excuse to bomb the fuck out of another oil-rich country (or a country that needs a big, fat oil pipeline).

He also looks a whole lot younger then he did in his last known photo..over 8 years ago.
And his voice has totally changed too...
Sheesh..what a load of crock.

being terrorized. He doesn't have a nuke just a bunch of crazies who are very unlikely to cause another 911 in a hurry. The supreme court ruling is the first and last of everyones problems at the moment. The fear card can only be played so many times, whether by the GOP or Bin Laden to where folks just go, we're going to live our lives regardless, because the antidote to terror is bravery.

27. OMG I just read that sounds like it was written by Beck and why is Osama talking in the 3rd person..
Edited on Sun Jan-24-10 08:06 PM by ProgressOnTheMove
he's not a rapper he's supposed to be the world's most wanted sinister mastermind if we take the official story4y. "From Osama to Obama" please, give me a fricking break, that's stupid. The only thing that could of exposed it more is if he had sad the President was a "commie, socialist, fascist." There is only one party that hasn't got passed 911 and that's the GOP, if this was anyway legitimate he'd be talking about the future than the passed or trying blackmail for the release KSM total nonsense. He did none of that because this can no way be authentic.

29. Ah . . . another 2-minute hate period . . .
with Osama bin Goldstein.

Having a common enemy is important for controlling the population. It provides an object for the "two minutes hate" and makes the population more and more dependent on the government for protection and safety.
