Experts warn of attack clues in Bin Laden video

If you look at the noses and the brow linesin each still shot you can see that they are two different people.

Even the shape of the eyes is different.

Hubbly Bubbly. I haven’t heard that phrase since I was in Egypt in the ‘70s!

You still hear that phrase in the Middle East. Regularly. ;-)

Anyone else have doubts that the person on the video tape is not Bin Laden? The guy had different eyes and a much broader nose than I remember Bin Laden having. His skin color appeared somewhat different too, a bit darker and more olive than tan. I haven’t heard the audio tape, so I can’t speak to that.

[MEGoody]

It's offical. BL is a commie.

Nah, he's just actually very good at playing the liberals like a violin.

the beard dye is a "sign of war"

They dye their beards black, we dye our MOABs orange, with racing stripes.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

See the sag? Looks like he’s had a stroke.

[BIGLOOK]

Check out the two faces of binny...

The eyes, brows and bridge of the nose look suspiciously different. UBL must have had a fabulous makeover.......or someone else did.

Democrats . . . "continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there."

Anyone know his dailykos screen name? Maybe I'll look for a screen name that never uses four-letter words. That'll narrow it down to a couple, maybe. Wonder if OBL takes part in the conference calls with the Congressional Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party)?

Ron Paul’s got his white flag ready......

Thanks, I was thinking of you as I read it...............

ROTFL..I nabbed this from another thread...

"The “new” osama sure looks a lot like “Bert” from sesame street.

The end of the nose in the 2007 picture looks like it has putty formed around it and the bridge of the nose is visually different from the 2004 picture. The eyebrows are different. The eyecolor is different too.

I don't think it's him.

...gives no clues "to indicate when an attack ... would be attempted," he said.

My guess would be as soon as possible after Hillary is inaugurated and has her cabinet put together so there's no chance of any payback for an attack.

Well, isn’t he activating terrorist cells in the US? He talked of Hiroshima...big sign of a nuke attack. He really wasn’t rambling...NYC [capitalism] DC [democracy] Houston, TX [energy/oil/gas] LA [hollywood culture]...hope and pray they’re stopped...

Many folks are getting fooled by differences in lighting, in the particular configuration of his facial muscles happened to be arranged at the moment in time when the shot was taken.

A more rigorous approach would be to compare several still shots. Pixel-by-pixel compares are [u][b]NOT ACCEPTABLE[/b][/u] because the only way they can work is with identical expression, identical lighting, identical camera angle, distance, and exposure. No, the far more powerful and intelligent resources of the human brain are required for such a comparison; a computer is not good enough (unless it’s a highly specialized police program for comparing suspects, simulating aging, etc. - and even then, the component of the human mind in the comparison is still necessary.)

Looking at the relative position, shape, and size of the eyes, the nose, the mouth, this is the same old bin Laden. Differences are the lighting, his dyed beard, his expression, the phoneme he happened to be uttering at the moment the shot took, and most importantly, he has RECOVERED from his kidney disorder and perhaps gained a little weight back as a result; he is healthier.

[Churchillspirit]

You may well be right.

[LtKerst]

Hey Ossama! I invite you to embrace a Daisy cutter.

[Scotsman will be Free]

I agree. It’s very hard to see, but the ears may be different as well.
