Bin Laden Tape: 'No Overt Threat To US'

Updated: 19:10, Friday September 07, 2007 There are no overt threats or calls to attack on a new video featuring al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, according to reports from the US. Unidentified American officials are quoted as saying that date references on the video indicate it was made recently.

The recording of bin Laden has been timed to mark the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks against the United States.

It contains the first new images of the terror leader in nearly three years.

The Homeland Security Department has said it had no credible information warning of an imminent threat to the United States.

Tom Casey, deputy State Department spokesman, said: "I don't think that anything he is likely to say or do is going to change our resolve or the resolve of our international partners to confront extremism."

Analysts were also looking at bin Laden's physical characteristics in part, for clues about his health after unconfirmed rumours earlier this year that he had died of kidney disease.

It showed his beard, which in previous messages has been streaked with grey, was black.

Soon after word emerged that the United States had the video, Islamic militant websites that usually carry statements from al Qaeda went down and were inaccessible.

why in the hell is this guy still able to taunt us?

Oh wait....

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." - G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

.........

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

...thats why ...

OBL loves “all” Liberal Democrats as they are his allies. Liberal Democrats never met a terrorist they didn’t feel sorry for or want to apologize to, as well as appease and surrender to. White surrender flags should be their Party symbol.

Is this a taunt?

Why is Michael Moore able to still taunt us? He’s committed treason which is not constitutionally protected speech.

"On the other hand," continued Casey, "the Democrats are really hurting our efforts to fight international terrorism. Especially those two Senatraitors from NY."

Osama's newest video shows he has fully recovered from his injuries at Tora Bora. A suitable donor was found in the islands near Borneo...

I think Oby is just upset that Senator Craig didn’t choose his bathroom stall.

I think he was using "Just for terrorist, murdering, goat-copulating scumbags"
