l-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden called on France to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in exchange for releasing French hostages being held by affiliates of the extremist group, according to a new audio message broadcast on an Arabic news channel Friday.
"The exit of your hostages out of the hands of our brothers depends on the exit of your troops from Afghanistan," bin Laden said in the message broadcast by al-Jazeera.
Bin Laden reminded the French people of President Nicolas Sarkozy's refusal in November to withdraw the French troops from Afghanistan and to negotiate with al-Qaida over the hostages.

What’d they use to retrieve Bin Laden’s message? A Ouija Board?

So they bring back the big bad boogieman yet again. Funny that. The jihadis are paying NO attention to this as if it didn’t exist. They know binnie is desert temp.

Wasn’t Obama suppose to bring about world peace with his mere presence? Did someone not get the memo in his cave?

Bin Laden awakens from a coma every so often to bark some jihadist slogans and then nods off again. And where is his number two? Haven't heard from that Egyptian thug in quite awhile.

He’s dead Jim. Yeah, just like everyone insisted Saddam was dead until we found him.

Everyone on here should remember that 90% of Free Republic insisted that Saddam was dead....until the US Army found him. Thankfully they didn't listen to us.
We have lots of dedicated people who are looking for Osama bin Laden every day. Some of them in dangerous situations. I hope they don't listen either.

So, perhaps he escaped to South America and shares a condo with Adolph Hitler?
To: Arkinsaw
Difference being Saddam was found within 9 months of the invasion.
Bin Laden didn’t survive Tora Bora in 2001. He has been dead for a decade now. The ISI knows it, the CIA knows it, our government knows it, Benazir Bhutto knows it.
He is the biggest fundraiser for intel contractors, which is why nobody will confirm he is dead

Threaten? I thought Bin Laden was a religious guy and believed in the ROP.

I think the point is, he’s just as well as dead.
