Another 30 minute tape? With the holidays just around the corner, you'd think he'd come out with a box set.

Yea, Osama sings the blues..

[Hayzo]

Maybe this is a greatest hits release! :^)

He's dead, even though he probably votes in our elections from time to time.

U.S. counterterrorism official felt that the tape me be faked when at the end Osama said "Howard Stern rules. bababooey!! bababooey!!!"

[SevenMinusOne]

He's dead.....trust me.

He's very much alive....trust me -

Just as is Zawahiri, Mullah Omar and another 5 or 6 HVT's we are actively hunting in the Afghan / Pak border region -

Now what makes you think that he is dead? Dr. Jack Wheeler says he's alive and being protected in Iran, he's got inside contacts in the pentagon and cia.
