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.

I like Jefferson’s answer to Muslims the best.
MILLLIONS FOR DEVENCE, NOT ONE CENT IN TRIBUTE.
Why would Osama like capitalism? It’s responsible for most of the material and economic progress the West has made in the last few hundred years.
Better to tend goats and live in relative misery.
Bingo
And they started by pushing the Politically Correct, anti-Free Speech agenda years ago, to mute our voices. And they are increasing the 'hate speech' laws to further keep us quiet =
It's working worldwide. We are falling in line with the "Do not "offend" us, or we'll cut you off at the knees..." No, wait. It's "We'll cut off your head."
And we, like sheep, apologize at any perceived 'offense' = are we going to Be lambs led to the ....?
There may still be time in the U.S. = if we stop this cr*p about "teaching the pubbies a lesson" and letting the henchmen of the muzzies continue in office.
And how about using the media to deflate the slimy OBL = Why not ask how a coward, who hides like a rat in a cave, should be looked up to as a leader of anything?
Compare him to any leaders back through thousands of years. A "leader" LEADS = he is out in front of his troops = he doesn't hide in caves and send everyone else out in harms way - to blow themselves up as the glorious path to life ever-after with the virgins - etc - Why not lead by example? That's what LEADERS do =
It would be so easy to make OBL a laughing stock - a cowardly, beady eyed rat who keeps his dirty hide safe, cowering in a mountain cave...
But no. The media and the pols give him all the air time and credence as being relative that he wants - he plays the media like a fiddle - and none will ask: "Why is this guy even relevant? This coward that hides in caves = he is hardly a leader."
Hey, in addition to the nice dye job, he’s had cosmetic work on his nose, too.
Wait until Chavez flies to his cave to give bin Laden a hug. Then we’ve got him.
Actually he’s a hypocrite. He and his family own the biggest construction company is Saudi Arabia.
He has offered the Democrats amnesty, they can join him in Islam. An offer they can’t refuse.
Maybe we could get UBL to show up for the next democrat debate.
I would watch that one. Interesting idea..
that was my first impression -= I am a portrait artist, so those small distinctions stand out to my eye.
I wonder at the rush to 'verify' that it's his voice. I'd like to see a more in depth analysis of that.
In light of the fact that the last 'tape' of OBL was shown to be an old one - I am dubious. Why would they needed to put out an old tape, trying to pass it off as current, if the rat were still using air?
“Bin Laden slams capitalism in new video”
He really is a Democrat, isn’t he!?
Let it be widely known that Adam Gadahn is a secret American operative who has infiltrated Al Qaeda.
Then, grab a fresh bag of pork rinds and watch the fireworks begin.
However, I find nothing to be suspicious.
I too understand Adam Gadahn is working as a double agent. He allegedly attended the meeting, and gave this scoop from the inside, after the meeting. The democrat's house of cards may be about to tumble.
lol, he slams capitalism, but then says islam is great cuz there are no taxes, only a 2% fee... (Mitt Romney style :) )
Not quite. At least Osama called for tax cuts.
AG has been around for years. A real sack ‘o shite.
He doesn’t own anything in SA. You need to read up on the subject before saying things like this. He was disowned years ago.
