By the way, does anyone know which is correct, Osama or Usama?

There is no standard for transliterating from Arabic into English. Think of how may ways there are to render the dictator of Libya's name in English.
So use what you feel like using.

Amazing picture. Saw one do a fly-by at an air show a few years back. They are not what you'd call highly visible.

Just a theory; Ayman al-Zawahri was killed or permanently disabled in the strike and has been Bin Ladens life line, supplying medicines, but now is just a matter of time before he dies without his meds so he has an aide call Al-Queera to release this tape hoping to buy time for him to get his meds.

"The operations are under preparation and you will see them IN YOU HOUSES as soon as they are complete, God willing."

This just means he understands the power of the media.

I remember when President Bush announced to the country concerning the War on Terror, that there will be things being done that we will never hear about and I'm am confident that is the case.

I can point to one thing that I have noticed and some of you may have seen too. I live in the Charleston, SC area and am a member of Sam's Club. Before the War on Terror there were members who were of middle eastern descent, they obviously were buying stock for these little stores they owned (usually in black neighborhoods). I have heard that this was a source of income for terrorists.

Since the War on Terror, I have noticed that these members have disappeared. IMO, this is a direct effect of actions taken by Homeland Security to eliminate any source of income, in our country, for the terrorists. I'm positive that there are many more actions taken by this administration to protect the public,,,many that we will never know about.

Everybody knows that Islam's historic method for advancing in the world is to offer truce when strategically necessary, only to attack later. America is 100% moronic if it accepts any truce with this proven enemy and his movement.

"Osama excerpt: You would be well advised to quit! It is pure folly. You cannot defeat me! Don't leave! Come back!"

The war to date, ala' Monty Python:
"I've cut your arm off!"
"No you haven't!"
"Look!"
"That's just a scratch! Have at you!"

The latest Osama tape, also ala' Python:
"All right, we'll call it a draw... Come back here! I'll bite your legs off!"

Just think, if only Hillary were President she would gladly sign that truce agreement and end this greedy, immoral war for oil. Peace in our time, Peace in our time! (think Neville Chamberlain)

Well, maybe that's why he acts when he does, or another alternative...maybe Osama's watching "24" on TV.

Wasn't that the plot of the season opener...the terrorists wanted the President to negotiate with them and not sign an anti-terror bill.

(end/sarcasm)

This is great!

I know we will get Intel from this. And I agree with others that this comes right after that major missle strike.

They are getting desperate.

This tape, if it is real, is proof that al Qaeda sees the battle as lost. And his followers see it the same way. All they want is a delay to rebuild and reorganize. They are losing and know it. Now is the time to up the pressure in any way possible

They are gambling that this message will further embolden their ideological 'brothers', the Democrates, into keep pressing their attach which could now be shown to cease hostilities if Iraq is abandoned. I don't see it as a sign of his giving up; I see it as a sign of us needing to "twist a lot more ball sacks" until one of the little $hits spills where this POS really is and we go all out after his ass and nuke him to Allah.....
