Bin Laden to issue "very strong" message: website Sun May 18, 2008 9:31am EDT

DUBAI (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden will issue a "very strong" statement to Muslims across the world soon, an Islamist website said on Sunday.

"A very strong statement to the Islamic nation by the lion of Islam sheikh Osama bin Laden," read a banner posted on the al Qaeda-linked website.

The website said the statement would be issued "soon", without giving further details. Such messages usually appear within 72 hours.

In his latest message, posted on Friday to mark Israel's 60th anniversary, bin Laden vowed to continue fighting the Jewish state and its allies in the West.

In a message on March 20, he urged Muslims to maintain the struggle against U.S. forces in Iraq as a path toward "liberating Palestine".

Al Qaeda has vowed attacks on Jews both inside and outside Israel and regularly expresses support for the Palestinians.

Osama comes out explicitly for Obama, I bet. The tacit alliance comes out of the closet.

Um Mmm. Straight from Hell, no doubt.
If this attention needing clown wants to prove that he is really alive, then lets see some higher quality footage with a camera not made in 1915, okay?

"God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11"
--Rev Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor and spiritual advisor 'crazy uncle' for twenty years

Wright: "In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns."

August, 2003: Ward Churchill Caught On Tape Advocating Terrorism vs Fellow Americans!

Audio link at Michell Malkin's website (included below)

Question from audience:
You mentioned a little bit ago, "Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago," that's my question.

Churchill: I'm gonna repeat that, tell me if I got that right: Why shouldn't we do something and how do you you move so they don't see you coming.

As to the first part, not a reason in the world that I could see. I can't find a single reason that you shouldn't in a principled way —there may be some practical considerations, such as do you know how (laughter from audience)

—you know, often these things are processes. It's not just an impulse. And certainly it's not just an event.

And the simple answer, although it probably should be more complicated, but I'm not being flip and giving the simple answer, is:
You carry the weapon. That's how they don't see it coming. You're the one...

They talk about "color blind or blind to your color." You said it yourself.

You don't send the Black Liberation Army into Wall Street to conduct an action.

You don't send the American Indian Movement into downtown Seattle to conduct an action.

Who do you send? You. Your beard shaved, your hair cut close, and wearing a banker's suit.

There's probably a whole lot more to it, you know that. But there's where you start. .."

That would be a very...Clintonian outcome, now wouldn't it?

Has Bin Laden been reduced to sounding like UN WMD inspector Hans Blix in Team America? Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.

Not dead - Being hunted at great risk 24/7 by warriors on Ops 99% of which the details will never be told - We’ll get him one of these days - Time was on his side when one understands the region into which he fled after 9-11 - He and Zawahiri will both be put in the ground (and the world will know within a week or two of their deaths).

Amazon Book Review:
"Vastly Illuminating!" September 25, 2004
By Kat Bakhu

"I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air."

"David Horowitz talked about his book Party of Defeat: How Democrats and Radicals Undermined America's War on Terror Before and After 9-11, published by Spence. In his book he criticizes members of the Democratic Party that, he says, are undermining the U.S.'s efforts in Iraq. This event was held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C."

You know, I’ve started regarding Usama’s ‘very strong’ messages the way I do Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi/any Democrat in Congress—what’s the Texas saying they used to insult Bush with? All cattle, no hat?

I agree, he’s probably going to endorse Ubama as the new savior of America, if only the American people will see the ‘truth’ about the Obamamessiah! [snort]

The news release reminds me of “The Mouse That Roared”. These idiots are dead, except no one has told them yet (via a well-aimed American weapon).

Bookmarking, thanks, his book “The Party of Defeat” is a good one to have for arguing with liberal friends and family, because being a member of the UnAmerican Democrat Party is simply a betrayal at this point in history.

If he is dead, we sure don’t know about it. Everyone here based on the posts is under the assumption he is alive. If Bin Laden died, the Bush administration would parade the news around America (rightfully so).
