The fact that the as Sahab logo is on both tapes was mentioned in at least one article I posted earlier, here you can see it on the lower left corner of the UBL video. It seems to me if anyone wants to question the authenticity of the first video they should also question the UBL video. |
Well, anyone can steal a logo.
I cannot recall where I came across the article or posting or whatever it was, but I believe someone today published an account of their take on why we saw the Azzam video and then the UBL video.
It was a very interesting and plausible-sounding take. Do you recall seeing such an account? I do not remember if it was on a hunting website or from a newspaper. LOL, maybe it was from FR.
While some articles that I read questioned al qaeda and tossed this up to a miscue or lack of coordination, the other, interesting account I read -- and which I will try to locate -- offered a rationale for the 2 videos.
It was something about the Azzam video signalling to us that al qaeda is here within the U.S. and ready, and then the UBL video setting out the political justifications for a hit and putting us on notice of a possible hit if our pro-Israel politics do not change.
and that is my biggest question Ian, what does it say about the UBL tape. They also were saying on FNC how different his choice of words were (UBL) and how it wasn't like him at all, in fact that many of the missing 15 min is him whining, I guess we'll know soon enough if these tapes are real.
