1. The timing is amazing....

Think Chertoff's "gut" felt this coming?

2. "newly discovered" means they pulled out some crap from 4 years ago

3. Let's see if it's the Fat Osama

and we need the video..

[goclark]

4. Did he name the Chimp as a fool?

That is what he needed to say so that we would know it was the real OBL.

[MatrixEscape]

9. Naw ...

If he thanked * and company, (along with CIA, etc.) for all the funding, help, and cooperation he has had for his role as bogyman, then that might be the real OBL. He could also take a bow and joke about how he never got nominated for an Academy Award.

Ah, is he really still alive? ;)

This just in:

New, high-end software title is destined to be a smash hit! It will blow the competition away ... literally!

Thanks to the power of modern PC's, Virtual OBL, 3.0 is ready and willing to make your tyrannical aspirations a rock-solid affair! No muss, no fuss! It is easier than spin and doctor! Just type in your favorite agitprop and press go! In seconds you can display your tape to millions and even Darth Cheney won't be able to tell that it's just software magic from WMD Solutions, Inc.

5. Maybe I'm just playing ostrich here, but it's going to take more than

"some newly discovered tape" to convince me this man is still alive!

Osama seemed to always enjoy issuing one of those videos, just to keep up his image and keep fear alive! There as been NOTHING AT ALL in several years to indicate that he's still living!!!! Remember the video that showed Osama with the dramatically graying hair & beard, all the stories about him being on dialisis, then ...... NOTHING!

Chertoff must have had lunch with Ridge last week!!!!

6. That cinches it for me. Bin Laden is a card carrying Republican.

Every time they get into trouble, out jumps good ole Bin Laden for a scare.

[Alamom]

7. We already knew that....probably related to some folks in high places. eom

[BlueCollar]

8. Bin Laden on tape?

ho-hum...

Are there any Republicans in trouble right now?


:sarcasm:

[Frustratedlady]

10. If there aren't. there should be.

God knows, they're trying hard enough.

[BootinUp]

11. Why do people think

that these videos help Bushie boy? Bin Laden is not in Iraq after all. We should take advantage of these opportunities to further expose the failed wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

[Recursion]

12. Now let's see how badly they flub/censor the translation

Al Jazeera normally makes the whole transcript of OBL's tapes available, which is how we found out the American media censored his references to election theft in the 2004 tape.

[melody]

13. Seymour the old LA horror host scares me more than the latest bin Laden "dispatch"

I'm amazed they even both with these anymore. It reminds me of
Molly Ivins' comments about George Sr. before he lost to Clinton --
he's an old prizefighter who keeps trying the same old blows but they
don't connect like they used to and he doesn't know any others.

14. ...it is most likely an unreleased portion of an earlier message.

So sez the ABC story. That is BURIED though, so the headline skimmers will think, OOOOOOHHHH Nooooooooooooo!!!!! http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/07/possible-new-me.html

The headline: Possible New Message From Osama Bin Laden


The mitigating truth: Experts who study al Qaeda videos told ABC News they had not previously seen the clip of bin Laden, which was released with little fanfare and contains no date references, but say it is most likely an unreleased portion of an earlier message.

It's a fucking OUTTAKE, basically.

What, if someone drags up some stuff from the cutting room floor, say, clips of Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America," that didn't make it into the original film---shall we say that Eddie has released a NEW film?

Jesus. What a load of BOOGA BOOOGA BOOOGA......

15. our tax dollars at work ...

I see, even though he died years ago, he's still on the payroll --

[IndianaGreen]

16. It is a new video, but the bin Laden clips are old

Where is bin Laden? We haven't seen a contemporary video of his since 2004, and no audio tapes since last year.
