hmmmm .... hope this was OK for Breaking News given how close July 4 is ...

[My Favorite Headache]

This story has been around here for a few days now. Circulating in different forms. There is no evidence OBVIOUSLY in any of them. But then again...was anyone looking on or before 9-11? The press is just releasing the same stuff with different headlines for their Sunday editon's.

[Mr_Mayor]

Very interesting article. I think it is time we told the Islamic world enough is enough and that they had better reign in the Bin Laden fellow. Just simply tell them that there is another attack on American soil and we prove that the Bin Laden group is responsible we will melt Mecca. Period. No bargains, no deals just plain and simple if he attacks us we will use a small thermonuclear device and melt Mecca. It will be the end game but the end game has to be played sooner or later so lets get this pussy footing out of the way and tell them like it is

Yes, we will wage attacks but at the right time, (after the next American is killed) at the place we want, (Mecca) in the way we please." (See below :-)

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Thank you LIBERAL SCUM PRESS for releasing your bile upon the usa and making people more paranoid than than they should be over a grey toned child molesting genocidal bombing pig

I wish i had 5 minutes with this peice of scum just 5 minutes he would be but a fleeting memmory

Sorry bobby777 had to rant tired of hearing seeing and watching my fellow american having to see this scum he needs to be dead along with his followers

[withteeth]

What a relief! They're going to release a video on the 4th. I was worried they might release smallpox.

[Steve Eisenberg]

Yes, we will wage attacks but at the right time, at the place we want, in the way we please.

In previous statements, they have repeatedly indicated that attacks would be coming very soon. The truth is that if they had the ability to attack as they please, there would be a September 11 every day until America surrendered. However, America is a tough and frightening adversary for the terrorists, especially after what U.S. and allied forces did in liberating Afghanistan. We may have a few bad days ahead, but their side isn't getting stronger, and has many and worse days ahead.

After his appearance in the earlier videos, the release of this one brings to mind Osama as Howdy Doody; and Osama and Omar persentation as a Punch and Judy Show. One obvious signal will be for Sulaiman Abu Ghaith to intro the video dressed as Buffalo Bob.

You know...all kidding aside...I (like a number of other fine folks on this very thread) have speculated on the joys of transforming mecca into radioactive slag. However, I wonder if there might be a more immediate and practical approach.

In a word, ridicule. Funny, insulting jokes, pictures, and so forth aimed at bin Laden, moslem fanatics, and the moslem religion in general.

I concede a danger: one must be careful about underestimating an enemy. It would be counterproductive to cause people to believe that bin laden and his islamic fellow travelers are anything less than dangerous vipers.

But keep in mind that the battle being waged is not only with bullets and bombs - it is also for the hearts and minds of large numbers of people. Every convert to islam is a potential convert to terrorism against us.

What might one exploit? The moslem treatment of women seems rich with possibilities. mohammed's nine year old wife is another. The legend of the "Dome of the Rock" is fraught with possibilities...recall that ol' 'hammed mounted a horse with a woman's face and flew to paradise. In fact, the very creation of an image of ol' 'hammed is something moslems don't like.

Right now, the terrorists are having their fun, and we're all letting them act as if they're nine feet tall and well nigh invincible. Per the news, homicide bombers are so numerous that the palies can't build enough bombs to equip them - and I belive that this is partly because they believe such a death gets them respect. But change the paradigm such that they're laughed at, and one may see a change in their behavior.

And note...ridicule is cheap and legal....whereas it is doubtful that our leaders will nuke mecca anytime soon.

>>We are here in the city of corruption...the city of gambling and prostitution, the city of the unbelievers<<

Las Vegas is a fake city, a make-believe and pretend palace for Americans.

They're talking about New York.

[SBeck]

I think ole dust Bin has gone Hollywood. He's given us a number of teaser trailers in advance of the big opening on July 4th. Hey, Binny, let's do lunch babe!

``"We are here in the city of corruption...the city of gambling and prostitution, the city of the unbelievers.

That would be Jamaica and 150^th street. Why don't we just go and get'm?

[The Raven]

It took them a while to splice together old tapes of bin Laden

[anniegetyourgun]

All these evil whackos know how to do is lie.

[b4its2late]

IMHO, he's deader than a doornail.

[rintense]

Hmmm... if he's going to make a statement on the 4th of July, then doesn't that mean he may have something planned before that date? Why appear on a US holiday to spout of crap unless you have something new to brag about?

Granted, I still think he's dead, so it will be interesting to see IF this even happens.

[Osinski]

Hmmmm. Gving this guy plenty of airtime, I see.

[Thane_Banquo]

Bring it, Bin. You can broadcast all you want, but we're coming for you. And Allah isn't going to save your ass now.

[RedWhiteBlue]

"We will come to them from where they don't expect. Yes, we will wage attacks but at the right time, at the place we want, in the way we please."

Oh, how original. < /sarcasm> That's almost exactly what Bush said to them after September 11.
