Al-Qaida Tape Includes Secret Code?

U.S. officials are taking a close look at the latest audiotape of al-Qaida's second-in-command to see if it contains a coded message to launch a terrorist attack.

The tape of Ayman al Zawahri was posted Wednesday on the Internet, and ABCNews.com says one phrase is repeated three times at the end:

Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness.

Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness.

Story Continues Below

Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness.

An FBI analysis of al-Qaida messages, obtained by ABCNews.com, warns that "continued messages that convey their strategic intent to strike the U.S. homeland and U.S. interests worldwide should not be discounted as merely deceptive noise."

Did someone try playing it backwards? Disregard anything about Paul being dead as a hoax.

As annoying as "head-on, apply directly to the forehead".

Al-Qaeda took a lot of flak in the Muslim world for not following the Koran and warning his enemies enough times as required. In recent tapes and messages Al-Qaeda has taken care to issue its demands and warnings in the proper form.

It looks to me like this "Have I not conveyed?" is an appeal to Muslims saying "See, we have warned them exactly as the Koran demands we do".

I do think this is a statement that their warnings and threats are over and action is forthcoming.

Here is what the code phrase means, out of the Al-Qaeda-Democrat Party cipher book. (Don’t ask how I got a copy. I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.)

“Pelosi, Reid, impeach George Bush.”

“Pelosi, Reid, impeach George Bush.”

“Pelosi, Reid, impeach George Bush.”

"Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness."

9 words repeated 3 times...

9+9+9 = 3*3 + 3*3 + 3*3 = 27 = 3 * 3 * 3

Freeper Slowboat407 has an interesting theory:

Hate to get serious when everyone is having so much fun here, but the first thing that came to my mind was the protocol used when firing an especially dangerous weapon. You repeat the command three times so there’s no mistake.

Fire on my mark. Now. Now. Now.

This was also Zawahiri’s third message, I think in about a week.

Zawahiri:

The Aggression Against Lal Masjid

Zawahiri:

New message from Ayman al Zawahiri threatens retaliation against UK for knighting of Rushdie

And

Zawahiri message: The enemy is beginning to see the signs of defeat; no mention of London attacks

Those were my thoughts as well.

I get so tired of the wise-cracking on Free Republic that I think it’s almost a waste of time to visit. Then I read an insightful remark like yours and it keeps me coming back. Thanks for your mature input.

I feel this sudden urge to insult Islam

What Bullsh*t

Tehran -- Iranian cattle farmer Gofauk Yousef Fukir came upon what appears to be one of the most holy of cow pies ever today while tending his herd. It seems his prize Bull Osama plopped out a turd with an uncanny likeness to the most holy prophet, Mohammed.

"This is no ordinary bullsh*t," insisted Gofauk Yousef. "This sh*t is like something directly from Allah above. It hardly even smells. Well, maybe a little. But I haven't bathed in two years, so who can say, yes?"

A team of Iranian bullsh*tologists, dispatched from Tehran university's religious artifacts division was pulled away from evaluating the booty they plundered from the Iraqi museum during the early days of the Iraq / US war to examine Gofauk Yousef's religious crap. After careful study they confirmed that the cow patty did indeed take on the appearance of manure from heaven.

"Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!!" Gofauk Yousef could be heard calling out to his friends and family, all the while sporting a wide smile befitting someone who had quite literally just stepped in heavenly sh*t, "Pack up the tent. We're going to Disneyland!" This is the profit I've been waiting for from all these years of tending godd*mned cows". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow...that makes a lot of sense...but it would mean that we’re very close to an attack. Heads up, powder dry, eyes open.
