"The operations are happening in Baghdad and you will see them here at home the minute they are through (with preparations), with God's permission," he said.

HERE AT HOME????

WTF?

Ya Recon he's in Detroit?..

Seriously.....If I was the one doing the intel on this tape, that would lead me to believe this was a phony...

Don't forget that it's an inexact translation.

Why are people so quick to say "it's a phony!" everytime OBL releases a tape?

Those people are stupid, but not that stupid. Surely, they know that we'd detect a fake a mile away and that would be publicized. They wouldn't risk it.

Many thought Saddam's taped message after we first bombed Baghdad was a fake. WRONG. It was him. It's the same with OBL. We hear this "FAKE!" every time. How many times in the past have they been "fake"? ZERO.
