DUBAI: The elusive al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden’s literary work will be published soon by an Oxford-educated academic expert in Arabic, according to media reports.

Bin Laden's recitals at wedding banquets and other feasts during the 1990s were recorded on tapes recovered from his compound in Afghanistan in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks in the US.

They were studied by Professor Flagg Miller, who teaches Arabic poetry at University of California, Davis, the report said. Bin Laden is a skilled poet with clever rhymes and metres, which was one reason why many people taped him and passed recordings around, like pop songs", Miller said.

According to the report, the first lines of one poem read: -A youth who plunges into the smoke of war smiling stains the blades of lances red. May God not let my eye stray from the most eminent humans, lest they fall."

The verse goes on to portray bin Laden himself as a -warrior poet", whose words will lead his followers to an idyllic refuge in the Hindu Kush mountains. -He frequently uses mountains as metaphors", Miller said.

Peace and Obama

peace and obama used to rule his place
and goats guarded his door
now peace is dead
and the goats have fled
and obama has turned into a whore

[Squantos]

Oh you said Osama......I get those two mixed up.......:o)

[Darkwolf377]

For the liberal on your Christmas list.

I guess we’ll find out how many words rhyme with “bomb.”

[Cementjungle]

They’re pushing a two-book gift set, this book and Obama’s soon-to-be-released book entitled “Journey from Chains to Mankind’s Savior, a Humble Look at Myself”.

Hitler was creative too, he liked to paint...but like Asama, he was still just an evil monster.

He'll probably win the Nobel Prize for poetry.

I bet it bombs!

Like Nancy Pelosi's...

Hot off the presses, here is a sneak preview of some Osama versifying:

I’m a goat-botherer called bin Laden
And lately my fatwah’s been fadin’
So I’ll hike up my robes
Flash two hairy globes
And pretend that young boy is a maiden

Hitler painted those?

He missed his calling (and millions would have been better off had he found it.)

[Kiss Me Hardy]

Adolf had a lousy sense of perspective. Check the painting of the large brown building — totaly out of whack

[Canedawg]

“Adolf had a lousy sense of perspective.”

Undoubtedly.

I still wish he had pursued painting full-time instead of dictatoring.

[GOP Poet]

I thought this was a joke. Someone said it. They will probably give him a Nobel Prize for poetry. Love the barfed post as well as it is so much how I feel about this.

[Red_Devil 232]

That was my first thought ... the arches seem out of wack to me!

[IronJack]

Hmmmmm. How many words can you rhyme with “hate?”

[IronJack]

Adolf had a lousy sense of perspective.

So did Picasso. Didn't hurt HIS career any.

Osama uses words and bombs to terrorize.

Obama will just use words to theorize
