3. Perfectly timed to distract us from Cheney's irregular heartbeat!
Or, wait, is it the other way around? I get so confused about these distractions.

4. He'll probably utter the most despised words on the planet.
"Happy Holidays".

O'Reilly will scream this is proof he's supporting Hillary.

Limpballs will tighten up his ass, till his anal cyst explodes, drowning Ann Coulter in a river of puss.

Bush and Cheney will implore people to shop.

America will say, "who?"

Happy Holidays.

5. Dubya must feel he needs a boost.
He called up AQ and asked for a new OBL tape.

Nah. Pretty slim, huh?

8. Will he have trimmed his beard again AND dye his hair blond too? What about blue contact lenses?
You know, because we're all a gaggle of blue-eyed blond devils, don'cha'know and it's more fun to point out to your enemy what makes them so evil...

That or he's watched too many Baywatch episodes and feels jealous...

9. Bin Laden message 'to be aired'
Edited on Mon Nov-26-07 06:30 PM by Fool_Me_Once
Source: BBC

Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden is to address the people of Europe in a new message, according to the terror network's media production arm.

The claim was made in an advertisement posted on an Islamic militant website on Monday, featuring Bin Laden's image.

As-Sahab did not say when the message would be aired or whether it would be a video or audio recording.

Last month, an audio tape purportedly by Osama Bin Laden urged insurgent groups in Iraq to unify their ranks.

In it, the speaker said the strength of faith was in bonds between Muslims, not in a tribe, nationalism or an organisation.

'Driving a wedge'

A message released on 20 September called for a holy war against Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf.

The al-Qaeda leader also issued a video message to coincide with the sixth anniversary of the 11 September attacks on the United States.

Osama Bin Laden, despite his geographical isolation, has always shown a keen interest in the global media.

Correspondents say Bin Laden has often tried to sway the opinions of the Western public in the hopes of driving a wedge between them and their leaders, and between European countries and his most hated enemy, the US government.

Notice the bold area above? Sounds like pure propaganda to push HR1955 right on through Senate.. Can't have us citizens getting too comfortable with a known killer.

NEWS FLASH: Bin Laden isn't driving the wedge between us, Try looking a bit closer to home.. Here's a hint, Start with the media and work your way UP from there to the top floor of the White House! After we bring our troops home, we will worry about Bin Laden, and we won't need an Army to kill his ass either!

I mean seriously, do they think we still buy into this Terra Terra Bullshit?

10. There was a slight flurry about an audio message not too long ago, but I'm
not sure it ever aired or saw the light of day. I don't THINK it coincided with the writers' strike, so Bush's staff should have been able to come up with SOMETHING, one would think.

12. Just now caught your comment:
"Notice the bold area above? Sounds like pure propaganda to push HR1955 right on through Senate."


I was wondering what was on the calendar -- and I' bet you're right.

It's almost laughable to think that the Senate doesn't see the correlation between these missives and pushing a WH agenda. Almost.
