If the audio message purportedly from al Qaeda's deputy leader is authentic, we have finally heard from a representative of the terror organization about the American election.
It was wholly expected that there would be such a tape, though the content, with its references to Malcolm X might be considered somewhat surprising --although in recent tapes al Qaeda's leaders have occasionally referenced critics of American society and foreign policy such as Noam Chomsky and Malcolm X.
On the tape, the deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, seeks to make President-elect Barack Obama seem like an apostate for his support of Israel and the war in Afghanistan: "You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America."
Still, the tape does not resolve the mystery of why we didn't hear from one person who was supposed to weigh in on the American presidential election: Osama bin Laden.
Four years ago, the al Qaeda leader appeared in a well-lit videotape addressing himself directly to the American people five days before they voted in the contest between Sen. John Kerry and President Bush.
Bin Laden said then that whoever won the election was immaterial as far as al Qaeda was concerned and that instead, Americans needed to change their country's foreign policies in the Muslim world, or face the consequences.
U.S. intelligence officials tracking al Qaeda had been expecting a similar message from the al Qaeda leader in the run-up to this presidential election. Yet, bin Laden did not appear.

Notice how Peter neglects the obvious fourth possibility: That bin Laden has finally relocated to Hell. Liberals would rather we never catch bin Laden than that Bush be given credit for it. For that matter, if bin Laden were dead right now, it wouldn't suprise me one bit, knowing muslims, if they took steps to make sure that it wouldn't leak until after the Inauguration.
We haven’t heard from osamabama because he has a very bad case of worms.
He changed his name to Mary and is working in a nightclub in Amsterdam.
You will hear from him and his socialist stooges after the coronation in January. You will be BURIED in socialist crap, democrat support payouts/bailouts for their constituency, radical changes of our capitalist systems to move it all toward socialism. You will see an attack on capitalism that has not been seen since FDR....all under false pretenses of course. Buyer’s remorse will finally set in...too late.
Just my opinion but I would wager much on it.
Ummm.....because he now has a direct line to the President - elect?
He's dead, Jim!
Uh, because he’s been buried under thousands of tons of Tora Bora rubble for about seven years?
Osama is sucking dirt.
Bin Laden was speechless.
Even he couldn’t believe what America was about to do.
Beat me by less than a minute LOL
He was too busy registering voters in Dearborn for Obama?
My FIRST thought...
My second thought? ~ he's taking a dirt nap.
Uh, because he’s been buried under thousands of tons of Tora Bora rubble for about seven years?
That’s what I have always thought.
IF he were alive, he FOR SURE would have made himself heard by now.
So now he is hiding under such deep cover that he will never be found, and will die of old age.
Although now Obama is only King of The World, the fear that an Obama administration strikes into the hearts of terrorists and communists all over the world is astounding.
Our saviour has arrived.
