NEW BIN LADEN TAPE
Sky News ^ | 1/4/03

Posted on 01/04/2004 12:33:44 PM PST by areafiftyone

Al-Jazeera television is broadcasting what is said to be a new audio tape of Osama bin Laden.

It is claimed he will refer to the capture of ex-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

"The audiotape contains new things. It refers to the Geneva Initiative (an unofficial Israeli-Palestinian peace plan unveiled in early December) and the capture of Saddam Hussein on December 13," al-Jazeera editor Ibrahim Hilal said.

Hilal said the voice purported to be that of bin Laden will also refer to the "(US) crusade against the Islamic world."

Early translations indicated that bin Laden called on Muslims to fight Western troops in Iraq with weapons rather than dialogue.

He also condemned Gulf states which supported the invasion of Iraq.

He called the Middle East issues part of a religious and economic war, saying the "big powers" were trying to control the region for its oil.

Not a Starbucks fan I guess.

Or maybe he's worm castings in some Afghan cave and the whole Osama audiotape industry is a scam.

I never picked up on the fact that Weird Al Yankovich was an Arabic name....

they will eventually ... in fact a whole group of nations comes against Israel ... that's what Zech 14, Joel 3:2 and Revelation 16:13-14 are all about ...

given the anti-Jewish mentality around the world, in several nations, it doesn't seem too far-fetched ...

That was the word on the street. I am really thinking that we have stopped an attack during the holidays. Anxious to see if the tape makes any reference to "recent" attacks on us. Tape could have been in route as the scheduled attack was suppose to take place.

Unfortunately I do not think OBL is dead. From reading the early part of the thread, I guess I'm in the minority. I swore that saddam was dead. And was wrong. Fox news has a guy by the name of Monsor Ijaaz (sp). I really like the guy. For my money he is the most knowledgeable guy on TV concerning the War on terror. He says that he thinks OBL is in Iran. I tend to believe that also

Well since you are smarter and have more information than the CIA and The FBI. Perhaps you should give them a call. You should set them stait or enlightened one.

As of 5 minutes ago he was still listed by the FBI as Alive and wanted.

"It is bin Laden's superb and special Arabic language..."

Well, well. Isn't that superb and special.

Hey, I don't kill thousands of Westerners ALL THE TIME. Most of the time I am a wonderful writer and researched historian. Oh, and I like to put together infrastructures and build whole cities in deserted areas. I can also network, bringing together talented, energetic people and helping them work together as a team. I am a proven fundraiser as well. And I still have time for religious devotion and family. Lots and lots of family. You can never have too much family, I always say. And goats. Yes, the goats.

He is using couriers.....so Saddam was captured Dec 13-14....it has been 3 weeks since then.....this tape fits the time frame of what it would take a courier to get it to Qatar.

That's an excellent point. I have this feeling that we're going to get him sooner rather than later, and I mean before the elections. This is something the Liberals don't want.

"My message is to incite you against the conspiracies, especially those uncovered by the occupation of the crusaders in Baghdad under the pretext of weapons of mass destruction,

Pleading with the troops to launch....almost sounds like he is begging..

and also the situation in (Jerusalem) under the deceptions of the road map and the Geneva initiative," the speaker said.

Always has to throw in Israel..

Would anyone recognize the man in 107 as Osama? If he were on the streets of Tehran in a suit and tie, would people really know who he was?

don't know if you're joking or not, but IMDB.Com says Weird Al is of Hungarian and Italian descent.

NEW RULE:

I've got a new criterion for Bin Laden tapes. No audio tapes will be considered real. Any Bin Laden tapes must show video as well as audio, or they will be considered inauthentic. I don't know why our government isn't already doing this.

It's an easy thing to crank out a poor-quality tape and say it's Bin Laden. However, anybody could be impersonating him.

I personally think he's dead, which is why we never see him anymore. Remember, he was very very sick the last time we actually saw him on tape.

Any threats, of course, coming from audio tapes will be taken seriously. However, we will not assume that they come from Bin Laden himself, but from his rabid followers.
