This “videotape” of binLaden is so obviously the work of someone else, someone who fancies himself Hip and With It,
with references to Noam CHomsky, Sarkozy, et. al.,that it makes me laugh. We are going to find out the bin Laden has been dead a long time, and someone like Adam Gadahn is behind this , cobbling a voice over of “binLaden” onto an old never-used or distributed tape: does anyone actually see the lips moving and forming the Arabic words?

Oh. Then apparently, our US military intel people are mistaken. [Little irony there. I disagree with so many Freepers' opinions that Bin Laden's dead.]

BTW, did you know that nearly all Iranian businesses are owned by its government? ...and what that makes Iran (communist)?

From the reading I’ve done(haven’t seen the tape), I also think that the entire script is more Adam Ghadan than OBL. It just sounds very American, even foreigners who have lived here for years are somewhat stilted in their use of the American/English form. This reads like a Loonie Leftie college term paper.

IMO we have seen this tape before: See Video stills from 2004:

Comparison:

Same background, same desk and he's still wearing the same clothes? How many left handed people gesture with their right hand? After a few minutes the video freezes and the voice drones on and on...

I'm almost convinced I can see the shadow of the 2004 beard on the shirt of the supposed 2007 image. Methinks the original beard has been erased and a new one photo-shopped on...?

does anyone actually see the lips moving and forming the Arabic words?

only in the section of the video that 'works' - where he's talking about allah blah blah blah...

someone like Adam Gadahn is behind this...

I agree.

"...American officials said the U.S. government had obtained a copy even though the video had not been posted yet by Al Qaeda — 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.

"This is why I tell you: as you liberated yourselves before from the slavery of monks, kings and feudalism, you should liberate yourselves from the deception, shackles and attrition of the capitalist system," he said.

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 Qaeda propagandist, has appeared in several past Al Qaeda-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..."
