In a new video released ahead of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden made no overt threats but lectured Americans on the Iraq war and criticized global capitalism, calling its leaders the real terrorists.

The 30-minute video was obtained by the SITE Institute, a Washington-based group that monitors terrorist messages, and provided to the Associated Press.
American officials said the U.S. government had obtained a copy even though the video had not been posted yet by al-Qaida — and intelligence agencies were studying the video to determine whether it was authentic and to look for clues about bin Laden's health.
In the video, a short excerpt of which was broadcast to the Arab world by Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden attacked capitalism, multinational corporations and globalization.

Several current and former government officials said they believed an American — 28-year-old Adam Gadahn — may have written at least part of the speech.
Gadahn, who has been charged with treason and supporting terrorism for serving as an al-Qaida propagandist, has appeared in several past al-Qaida-produced videos, lecturing against capitalism and globalization and making insider references to American culture.
"It has Adam Gadahn written all over it," one former senior intelligence official said of bin Laden's tape, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Sounds just like Reid-Murtha-Peloise-Gore and the rest of the Democrat Leadership.
Adam_Yahiye_Gadahn Adam Yahiye Gadahn (Arabic: آدم ÙŠØيى غدن, born Adam Pearlman, September 1, 1978) is an American-born English-language spokesman for the al-Qaeda organization. From 2004 to 2006 he appeared in a number of videos produced by the organization as "Azzam the American" ('AzzÄÂm al-AmrÄ«ki, عزام الأمريكي). In 2004, he was added to the FBI Seeking Information - War on Terrorism list.[1] On October 11, 2006 he was removed from that list, and placed on the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Rewards for Justice list of wanted terrorists.[2] On the same day, Gadahn was indicted in the Southern Division of the United States District Court for the Central District of California by a federal grand jury for treason. He is the first American charged with treason since 1952.[3]
Adam Gadahn is the American Taliban figure who did a couple of earlier videos.
The interesting thing about all this anti-capitalism talk is that it shows that Osama is trying to pander to the leftwing fringe in the US. Either that, or there has been a hidden anti-capitalist agenda from the beginning—which might explain why the Dems have inexplicably sided with the Muslims in the War on Terror. Apparently, they were in on it.
Sure does.
I'm not convinced that the pictures being floated now are UBL, though. If you look closely and compare to known photo's, the brow line is different, the nose is different and the breadth at the shoulder line isn't the same. It's a pretty close match, but I don't think it's UBL.
They all have the same talking points. I wonder if UBL is going to jump in the race for president as a democrat.
A Republican.
Yep....that’s the ticket Islamoborg. They keep adapting to our politics. Do they think they will get our protected feminazis and gay militants on their side when they will be the first killed? What a laugh. The only people that will agree with this crapola are hard core commies and idiots.
I agree, the brow line is completely off and the nose defintely different. Not him.
They are All TRAITORS and it’s time to start calling them TRAITORS.
I love the bin tapes. bin recruits more Republicans in 10 minutes of talking quicker than listening to 10 minutes of Rush! More bin tapes before the election....please!
You know, you could be right. Good make up artist could make up a similar shaped person to look like Binny.
Oh wow. What a great idea for a parody.
I see bin Laden has learned the leftist talking points. This will make him a hero to “progressives” everywhere.
bin Laden....Democrats Are Like Him!
