Nobody gives a F--K about bin Laden's 'latest tape' anymore

Gimmee a break you propagandist bullshit liars, no one even cares about these endless tapes from the ghostly bin Laden, yet they keep pumping out these sorry threats from some Batman bad guy every six months or so.

Where the fuck IS he? Be he alive, or be he dead? Should we change the terror alert color from yellow to candy apple red? Should we be scared to death, or should we just yawn and change the channel to 'the biggest loser'?

AAAHHHH!!!! Run- RUN!--bin Laden just released another cryptic tape!!!! Wolf! WOLF!!! Really, no shit this time, W-O-L-F!!!!!!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------

(CNN) -- A new audio tape allegedly from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden claims responsibility for an attempt to blow up a plane en route to Michigan on Christmas Day and warns the United States of more attacks.

The tape, which aired on the Arabic-language news Web site Al-Jazeera on Sunday, says "the United States will not dream of enjoying safety until we live it in reality in Palestine."

The tape continues: "It is not fair to enjoy that kind of life while our brothers in Gaza live in the worst of miseries."

CNN could not independently confirm the authenticity of the message, but the CIA has in the past confirmed Al-Jazeera reports on tapes from the al Qaeda leader.

1. Agreed
I really can't believe these retards are bragging about a guy who blew up his junk on a plane. He's an abject failure.

18. I KNow I Don't
And I see focusing on it massively, as just another war-mongering strategy that got us into the problem we have, where so much of the world we've dumped on, wants to strike back at us. You can't keep crapping on people, and expect them to like us.

Oh yea, I forgot, we're supposed to never say we did anything wrong, ever!!

Fox News: "Bin Laden Already Dead"

Wednesday, December 26, 2001

Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.

"The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead," the source said.

Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief.

The Death of bin Ladenism
By AMIR TAHERI
Published: July 11, 2002

Osama bin Laden is dead. The news first came from sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan almost six months ago: the fugitive died in December and was buried in the mountains of southeast Afghanistan. Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, echoed the information. The remnants of Osama's gang, however, have mostly stayed silent, either to keep Osama's ghost alive or because they have no means of communication.

With an ego the size of Mount Everest, Osama bin Laden would not have, could not have, remained silent for so long if he were still alive. He always liked to take credit even for things he had nothing to do with. Would he remain silent for nine months and not trumpet his own survival?

Even if he is still in the world, bin Ladenism has left for good. Mr. bin Laden was the public face of a brand of politics that committed suicide in New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001, killing thousands of innocent people in the process.

What were the key elements of that politics?

The first was a cynical misinterpretation of Islam that began decades ago with such anti-Western ideologues as Maulana Maudoodi of Pakistan and Sayyid Qutb of Egypt. Although Mr. Maudoodi and Mr. Qutb were not serious thinkers, they could at least offer a coherent ideology based on a narrow reading of Islamic texts. Their ideas about Western barbarism and Muslim revival, distilled down to bin Ladenism, became mere slogans designed to incite zealots to murder.

25. I like how fox reports on December 26, 2001 that bin laden is dead and
then turns right around and posts reports of bin laden recordings ever since, right up until today:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583758,00.html

How do they reconcile that? Answer: They just don't.

9. Audio Tape
Just as the Pres and Congress talk of setting up a commission to study ways to reduce deficits (i.e. cut spending) we get a timely reminder that we can't afford to cut defense by a single penny. This simply provides cover for the defense spending apologists. Let's see how many times they reference "al-quaida" and "bin-Laden".
