'Osama' is playing you like a fiddle.

Number one, I can't be played. Number two, you are the one who goes around here telling "George" to bring the boys home.

So who sounds like they are in a tacit agreement with Osama bin Laden? You do.

I'm just getting started with you, Pinky.

For those saying Audio is "hard to fake"...and that "the CIA and NSA would not be fooled"....COME ON!!

Audio is the easiest to fake......Heck, I forget the man's name...but he is an older actor is Hollywood who made a career impersonating (voice wise) other world famous people...and he fooled the CIA (on audio) in 19 of 20 cases tested via the CIA's on internal testing. I saw this story on the discovery channel or history channel a few years back...


I firmly believe (and even more so after the last video of UBL that was released 6 weeks ago or so) that UBL is DEAD...and has been Dead for a long time. My gut tells me we sent a team in (teams more like it...SOF teams) and they got UBL before the year was out in 2001.

No reason for the military to release this information. It allows the military through a number of ways to track other AQ members who UBL could have done business with...

UBL is long dead.....

I'll be convinced he's still alive if he makes a reference to the US suffering the same fate as the Cubs and Red Sox.

Uh, not to be picky, but that would only narrow things down to the last 85 or so years.

Angelus Errare is right ........he has taken this to the next step.....he has personally singled out our President..

I disagree. One of the 9/11 targets was the White House. The President happened to be on travel, fortunately, but that was undoubtedly targeting the POTUS personally.

Yes, prior to that point Musharraf had always been of the opinion that bin Laden was dead, or at least certainly not in Pakistan. Now that opinion has changed and we honestly don't know why.

I've seen Musharraf change his opinion on OBL's fate several times. Our intel agencies are convinced he's still alive, and I've no reason to believe otherwise.

He's dead. He is inert. He has passed on. He has crossed the River Jordan. He is no more. He is expired. He is fallen. He is mort. He is finished. He is defunct. He has become dust. He is six feet under. He is pushing up daisies. He has assumed room temperature. He has become history. He is kaput. He has perished. He has given up the ghost. He is lifeless. He is the late Osama bin Laden. He is a deceased terrorist.

You forgot "he has rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!" and "He is extinct, bereft of life!" LOL!

Seriously though, I agree. OBL never passed up a chance to show how perky he was. I am convinced there is a Al Qaeda version of Rich Little doing these tapes, or some teenager in Karachi.

>> Seriously though, I agree. OBL never passed up a chance to show how perky he was

Two years now since he was last heard from. I'd like to think he died by fire, even as he condemned so many Americans to do. May there be nothing more left of him and his works than a few charred teeth and a bit of toxic dust.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Arabic satellite television Al Jazeera said on Saturday al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had sent an audio message advising the United States to quit Iraq.

He's quoting from the Kucinich Manifesto now? Who woulda thunk it?!
