The Pakistan tape was released to let who ever was holding the Osama bin Laden tape know that the cell was ready to carry out the attack. Once the tape was made public, it triggered the release of the Osama Bin laden tape. If the cell was operating independent of Al Qaeda Leadership that explains, why no warnings on the forums or knowledge of it on the Forums and Islamic websites it insures operational security!

I agree fully with Jill and OBL's tape confirms these observations. Either the Paki tape was highly secure opsec or someone outside the jihadi chatter channels did it. With the release of the OBL tape these dots connect nicely.

I had posted this earlier on another thread.

"Or it could be the first tape by the american was a signal to OBL that everything in the US was ready to go.

OBL's tape today was his authorization to go ahead as planned."
