so this is the ‘special gift,’ or maybe not
Special gift could mean nothing or it could be them telling us what they are going to do — never know. Last time they promised a “big surprise” an Adam Gadahn video followed, so I don’t think we should automatically assume odd key words mean anything.
We have not seen a bin Laden video in any form in some time (other than the recent ones with very small clips). What does he want to say to the American people that he has not already said? Or, is he interested in addressing us after something happens?
