Can someone talk to me about this 'fake' Osama bin Laden??
I didn't hear of or see this until today - but now that i look back, this really doesn't look like him! Was there any discussion on this board about this before I came?

2. It gets a little creepy if you stare at the picture
that shifts back and forth between the two Osamas. That is pretty weird. His whole face changes shape, especially his nose and eyebrows. And he seems to have gotten younger...

4. Looking at it again,
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 11:49 PM by Goldeneye
Is it possible that the older picture is just squished from the sides? It seems like his whole face gets narrower. I would like to see both pictures with shoulders so we could line them up a little.

I don't know what to make of this because the transcript from the 2004 tape was pretty bad for bush, so it probably wasn't the white house releasing it. Maybe Osama is dead...and this was set up by al qaeda to keep things rolling.

here's the 2004 transcript:

5. Oh NO!
Those TV shows got to Osama too. He must have gotten plastic surgery to stay young.
:silly:

if we were fed a fake tape just to get the memory of fear going again before the election.

sometimes, i wonder if Osama IS dead and they tell us he isn't and use his image as a scare tactic when they need one.

6. Yeah!
There was a huge thread about this just after the tape was released.

If you ask me, that fake Osama always reminds me of the captured Saddam Hussein though. I'm not saying it is, but if you compare the two, they have the same nose, cheeks, etc.

7. WTF knows which one is real and which one is fake.
Osama is looking good though. If he is real, he gained some weight. Amazing how a man with bad kidneys is staying so healthy and fit. Life on the run seems to agree with him.

9. I smell Karl Rove
"I don't know what to make of this because the transcript from the 2004 tape was pretty bad for bush, so it probably wasn't the white house releasing it."

It wasn't pretty bad...it took arguments from the left...it took arguments from Michael Moore...it mentioned journalists like Robert Fisk...and it made the arguments irrelevant since the biggest terrorist in the world was saying it.

It's exactly the kind of Karl Rove trick that may have been played on JH Hetfield...the story goes...they got on a rowboat...Rove told him about Bush's cocaine arrests...and when it later came out that Hatfield had been to prison...no one took that argument seriously.

11. a couple of others you should see
Here is one from that old tape after we invaded Afghanistan, the tape that was "found" in somebody's house where he meets with
the wild-eyed-crazy-man Arab shiek of some kind.

This is the one we call "Fat Osama" (on the far right)



And here's another image from the recent Osama tape where he looks quite a bit more like the old Osama rather than that one still image on whatreallyhappened.com
