New Al Qaeda Magazine: Bin Laden 'Confronted' SEALs in 'Fierce Battle'
By LEE FERRAN July 19, 2011
A new edition of Al Qaeda's official magazine claims that Osama bin Laden fought back in a "vicious battle" with the U.S. Navy SEALs before his death in May.
"He confronted them, his weapons against theirs with his, and his strength against theirs, and he accepted the challenge of those who came out with their fancy equipment, machinery, weapons, aircrafts and troops, all haughty and pompous," the magazine, Inspire, said in a eulogy for the al Qaeda leader. "His determination did not weaken in front of them, nor was he sapped of strength. Rather, he stood and confronted them face to face like a firm mountain, and continued to engage them in a fierce battle... after which he excused himself and fulfilled the trust, receiving bullets of treachery and infidelity."
The account, which is attributed to the al Qaeda organization, appears to contradict the White House version of events in which bin Laden did "resist" the SEALs, but was unarmed when he was killed.
The sixth issue of the English-language magazine features bin Laden on its cover with the words "Sadness, Contentment & Aspiration," is the first to discuss bin Laden's death. After noting the succession of al Qaeda leadership to Ayman al-Zawahiri and giving a "special thanks" to the Pakistani Taliban for a revenge attack in Pakistan for bin Laden's death, the magazine goes on to encourage individual acts of jihad against the West.

This sounds a lot like a typical MSM piece on Obama.
What does this remind of? Oh, yes:
May 1, 1945
ANNOUNCER: The German wireless broadcasts serious, important news for the German people.
(Three rolls of the drums are heard.)
ANNOUNCER: It is reported from Der Fuehrer’s headquarters that our Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, fighting to the last breath against Bolshevism, fell for Germany this afternoon in his operational headquarters in the Reich Chancellery.
On April 30 Der Fuehrer appointed Grand Admiral Doenitz his successor. The grand admiral and successor of Der Fuehrer now speaks to the German people.
DOENITZ: German men and women, soldiers of the armed forces: Our Fuehrer, Adolf Hitler, has fallen. In the deepest sorrow and respect the German people bow.
At an early date he had recognized the frightful danger of Bolshevism and dedicated his existence to this struggle. At the end of his struggle, of his unswerving straight road of life, stands his hero’s death in the capital of the German Reich. His life has been one single service for Germany. His activity in the fight against the Bolshevik storm flood concerned not only Europe but the entire civilized world.
Der Fuehrer has appointed me to be his successor.
Fully conscious of the responsibility, I take over the leadership of the German people at this fateful hour.
It is my first task to save Germany from destruction by the advancing Bolshevist enemy. For this aim alone the military struggle continues. As far and for so long as achievement of this aim is impeded by the British and the Americans, we shall be forced to carry on our defensive fight against them as well. Under such conditions, however, the Anglo-Americans will continue the war not for their own peoples but solely for the spreading of Bolshevism in Europe.
What the German people have achieved in battle and borne in the homeland during the struggle of this war is unique in history. In the coming time of need and crisis of our people I shall endeavor to establish tolerable conditions of living for our women, men and children so far as this lies in my power.
For all this I need your help. Give me your confidence because your road is mine as well. Maintain order and discipline in town and country. Let everybody do his duty at his own post. Only thus shall we mitigate the sufferings that the coming time will bring to each of us; only thus shall we be able to prevent a collapse. If we do all that is in our power, God will not forsake us after so much suffering and sacrifice.
(National anthems.)
I thought their names were "Sooooey" and "Hog".
“He confronted them, his weapons against theirs with his”
Unarmed women.
just for giggles anyone care to make a national inquirer/world weekly news type of cover for this lol.
So, what now...? Are they insinuating his collection of porn DVDs were used as ninja throwing stars...?
LLS
The old buzzard crapped in his pj’s then died.
And then he was summarily shot in the face, as it should have been. Welcome to hell, OBL. By the way, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you have to say doesn't really matter from here on.
Who was alive in the compound to tell this story?
Well said!
LLS
They have a magazine? WTF?
“I wait for when it comes out in comic book form...”
I thought this was a comic book. Pure fantasy.
Fierce crying and begging followed by a SEAL double tap.
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
Yeah, sure. All I know is his protein has been converted into snail sh*t on the bottom of the ocean.
Good laugh over this bit of terrorist fantasy. Osama bin Laden was a coward, full of tough talk and threats but when finally run to ground, Osama hid behind a woman and was put out of his misery by a Navy Seal. That the Islamic terrorists want to make this cowardly old man a hero is to be expected. Few will be fooled, even in the Islamic world.
I know. First Oprah, then Rachel Ray and now Al Queda.
Do caves have mailboxes?
