I agree with your post as stated milford421.
I haven’t posted up my link set yet because I am still looking around.
Things that concerned me and/or I noted.
1. His beard is a signal that he is a young, strong lion in my opinion.
That MAY indicate he’s ready for battle and/or to lead a battle and/or to continue the battle.
2. His invitation to islam (that’s not a good thing to hear from a jihadi).
3. He’a a puke and an icon for the AQ gangbangers, but his message can and probably will inspire jihadis/jihadi wannabes/jihadi supporters — even if they don’t agree with him on all things.
Jihad — another day.
I have not yet read the transcript, which I am about to do... things that stood out to me in articles about:
Another invite to Islam — maybe he thinks we will listen this time?
Mention that Democrats won but have not changed anything — this seems important to me because it might very well be further justification for the attack planned against America. If his followers were under the impression that it was just the Republicans out to get them he is re-assuring them that it is indeed all Americans.
The fact that we are not innocent — as the enemies of Israel call them all legitimate targets due to serving in the military, we see bin Laden declaring us soldiers due to our “funding” and “support” for a war against Muslims. Since we are not innocent, we are legitimate targets.

I am slightly perplexed as this just seems to be more of the same. We have been led to believe that the videos are important if by no other way than complete lack of them. Almost 3yrs of video silence for this?

Hadn’t thought of that...makes sense to me. The message repeats the passage of the lion three times?
