NEW BIN LADEN TAPE

Sky News ^ | 1/4/03

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.

What's this with Matt Lauer being crooked?

After you said OBL could be madeover to look like Matt Lauer, I went looking for a pic. In every single one he's crooked.

This is as straight as he gets:

[Maigrey]

Well, there is one other thing he can't fix: His height (aside from catastrophic changes)

The man is 6'5" or something, and that would be something difficult to change.

[Bobby777]

actually a good dose of Western TV (no reality shows) but some 1960's sitcoms, etc. would probably grab their attention ... we'd just have to dub over them in Arabic ...

a year or two of that and bin Laden will have a lot fewer fans ...

ping to 192

That could very well be. Good memory there Semper911.

The problem for the CIA and FBI is that if they say that OBL is dead and they don't have rock solid proof, they will be beat up by the media and the Axis of Weasels and God knows what the Dems will say. So without proof positive, they list him as wanted. This also serves the purpose of keeping the left and the media from declaring the War over and getting back to "key" issues such as, say, homeless people.
If OBL were really alive he'd be in front of a video camera giving GWB the Moslem version of the finger.
So I agree, "He's Dead, Jim"

[Lady Jag]

I wouldn't recognize him, either. If he can gain weight, that's all he needs to do besides shave and dress modern.

He's tall, but if chunkier, carrying a briefcase on a subway in NYC while wearing a three-piece suit, who would know it's OBL?

[OldFriend]

Carter was behind the so called Geneva initiative and he is advising Coweird Dean on foreign policy.

[Lady Jag]

Shave, khakis and a blue shirt, gain 80 pounds, and 6'5" wouldn't give him away.

[oceanview]

Saddam was alive, why wasn't he in front of a camera giving GWB the finger?

[cyncooper]

If there were any around they would have hit us this Christmas/New Year's.

Disregard the measures our security has taken at your own peril.

And the jiblowhards have been bragging that the next video tape of usama will be shown after their next lethal attack on the U.S. Supposedly anyway....

I hope yall don't flame me too bad for this but I was looking at numbers for patterns. 2004 somewhere , flight 421? , last seen around o444 (0244) It seemed like a lot of 2s and 4's. I was looking for a pattern. I didn't see anything but them I remembered some scoffing I saw about a relative saying his Aunt was saying something wrong and someone yelled to get off the cell phone. We were thinking yeah right, plane crashing and the staff on her case about using a cell phone. Maybe nothing but just another con incidence but we seem to have a lot of coincidences the last few years :')
