Bingo. Finally someone is getting the picture, roughly.

Zawahiri did the honors in late 2005. His statement is up here:

Last thing on the page under the title “Long memory exercise”.

If you’re very lucky, the analysis that vent to ...... at that point may be posted on TM.

*************************************************
Me: This particular video is very much shortened from the original. In this one, you can clearly see the flap from the backdrop which seems to be blowing and reveals a white back. That is not the man in the white unifom mentioned in the analysis. The analysis was done from a different perspective and a clip that clearly showed a man walking and pouring either water or tea. The hand was very visible, but is NOT in this clip.
I would also note that though there SEEMS to be wind blowing, zawahri’s clothes do not move with the wind, suggesting a fan used to either cool the area where kliegs were being used for this filming or to make it appear as though they were outside.
Here is a paraphrased analysis from a document transmitted to DIA in August, 2005.
I reiterate, THIS REPORT IS SHORTENED AND PARAPHRASED TO PROTECT THE SOURCE.

August 10, 2005
1. The first thing about the video was the green glint, or reflection, off Zawahri’s glasses. Very unusual for the type of setting he was in. NOT sunglasses.
Odd since everyone surmises he was outdoors in sunlight. However, he was directly facing those who were doing the filming. The light reflecting off his glasses was coming from in front and behind him, but not above him. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard wear bright green uniforms and the belief is that is what the reflection in his glasses was.

(Reference) Wednesday, July 06, 2005
The powerful hard-line Revolutionary Guards pledged to support Iran’s ultraconservative president-elect, who is calling for an end to accusations that he took Americans hostage and killed a Kurdish opposition leader. The Guards’ welcome of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came in stark contrast to their threat four years ago to confront supporters of outgoing reformist President Mohammad Khatami if they threatened Iran’s Islamic regime. Brigadier General Rahim Safavi, head of the Guards, said his 200,000-member force - which reports directly to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - will serve Ahmadinejad’s government. “It’s necessary to declare the readiness of the green-uniform Guards and capable Basijis (hard-line vigilantes) ... to support and cooperate with Your Excellency’s serving government,” Safavi said in a congratulatory message to Ahmadinejad, state media reported. The vast and well-funded Revolutionary Guards are the most potent force available to the regime, *are independent of the regular armed forces and have a broad mandate to confront external and domestic “dangers” confronting the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

2. The second thing was the black turban with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Black turbans signify descent from the Prophet Mohammed. Black turbans in Iran on non-Iranian Shiites only signify descent from the Arab invaders (and hence a closer relationship to the Prophet Mohammed but not necessarily a direct one).
The “meaning?”
Descent from the Arabs signifies a somewhat “holier” person, religiously, and can be worn after a certain age in Iran. Zawahri is not Iranian. He HAS worn the black turban before, which suggests he had been traveling from Pakistan to Iran and back since the black turban would give him a special privilege in Iran. The xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx shoulder indicates the death of someone he loved. ( mourning.) He spoke strangely and passionately of Osama bin Laden, using the PAST TENSE, i.e.,
“Didn’t Osama bin Laden tell you.....”
He called him “Our Beloved Sheik, Osama bin Laden.”
He stated this was their “final” message.
This was an announcement to certain of the “faithful” that their beloved sheik, Osama bin Laden is dead.
In all Zawahri’s transcripts, this is the ONLY one which mentions Osama Bin Laden by name since 2002. The only other mentions of bin Laden by name were on transcripts where either both spoke, or bin Laden spoke with others and THEY mentioned his name...
3. Another person entered the video to Zawahri’s left side. This person was dressed in a white uniform jacket like those of servants, aides, or doctors. Zawahri barely moved his left arm at all, and in previous, but relatively recent, videos, it was completely covered by some form of blanketing, cloak, or other material to hide his entire arm from view, which suggests he had been wounded, injured, or might have even had a stroke.
4. He had on brand new THIN wire-rimmed glasses and was quite well groomed suggesting he has not been anywhere near a mountain hideout for quite some time though the camo was up to make it seem so.
5. The rifle was set to point straight up with the sling placed very carefully facing the left side so that the clip, trigger, and full barrel, grenade launcher, and stock were very visible at right, but the end of the targeting site at left was not. The rifle was polished and gleaming...signals NEW weapons either delivered or being delivered, but not necessarily firearms. Any or many weapons.
When the rifle faces away from Zawahri it means essentially that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is a target and ANYONE can take charge of any operation. It does not signal a place, nor a time. It is a simple order to fire or attack at will whenever and wherever the opportunity arises at one target or many; essentially, a free-for-all. Zawahri has no plan to offer except chaos and I truly believe this was an announcement to “the faithful” that The Base has changed hands and Osama is now a martyred spirit. Therefore, to “honor” the beloved Sheik Osama bin Laden, any weapon, any target, is now acceptable.
Any time the rifle trigger and clip have faced Zawahri, it has meant a specific plan was already in place, proceed as PLANNED.
This is perhaps the most dangerous video Zawahri has produced because it seems to be calling for an all out, full scale series of uncoordinated attacks around the world. (Like the finale at a fireworks display.)
Awaiting a full copy of the video which I understand is being *carefully* studied and not for release, however, the man on the left who entered the video has not been detailed yet tosee if he might be wearing anything on his hand like a ring or something identifiable, even the shape of his fingers or whether his hands appeared soft.
6. Zawahri is in Iran. The Iranian Revolutionary Army is protecting him and aiding Iraq’s insurgents with Ahmadinejad’s full knowledge and/or orders. Iran is providing and moving modern weapons and support for whatever these murderers can accomplish through Syria whose borders are so porous they make a sponge seem solid, and across their own borders via smugglers’ routes from the south, (Basrah,) through Pakistan to the north. Saudi is providing $$$ and fighters, as are the PA, Egypt, and many are coming out of Jordan and Libya.
7. Al-Zarqawi has been sending special dispatches to Osama bin Laden into Pakistan, though he knows almost every one of them has been intercepted. Zarqawi might be many horrible things, but stupid isn’t one of them. bin Laden is NOT in Pakistan but Zarqawi knows he can keep you off step if there is even the slightest doubt.

Arab/Muslim translators would not be forthcoming about much of this.
End Transmission.

Since then:

MEMRI: August 23 Dispatch:
On August 19, Palestinian Clerics Association Deputy Director Sheikh Muhammad Ali was interviewed by Hizbullah’s Al-Manar TV.
Moderator: They are afraid of the Qassam missiles, which are very simple and basic, while neighboring countries have missiles, planes, and tanks.
Sheik Muhammad Ali: In many countries the missiles and tanks have become rusty. Moderator: How come (the Zionists) don’t demand their disarmament?
Sheik Muhammad Ali: These weapons do not scare them because they know that there is a decision (not to use them). On the other hand, the the weapons of the resistance are the martyrdom seekers - whether men, women, or boys.
Moderator: They are not subject to any political decision.
Sheik Muhammad Ali: None whatsoever.
Moderator: “So, they fear the decision-making...”
Sheikh Muhammad Ali: “... and not any particular type of weapon.”

FREE FOR ALL?
Then came Zarqawi’s “rumor” that their “beloved sheik” was coming to Iraq. I almost choked.
Ah, but then came THIS

Insurgency Instructions
Excerpts:
Aug. 24, 2005 - Many U.S. intelligence analysts say they are becoming more convinced by the day that the Iranian government is involved in the arming and training of insurgents in Iraq. Others say they need more evidence, but assert that the Lebanon-based Shiite militia Hizbullah is almost certainly aiding Iraq’s anti-government guerillas.
These analysts point to recent sophisticated insurgent attacks on armored U.S. military vehicles using home-made anti-tank weapons with “shaped” explosive charges. According to a U.S. counter-terrorism official familiar with the attacks (who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the subject), many of these home-made devices, known among U.S. bomb-disposal personnel as EFPs (Explosively Formed Penetrators), appear to be constructed according to instructions contained on CD-ROM formatted videos distributed by Hizbullah, which maintains close ties to hard-line religious factions in the Iranian government.

SAME OLD SAME OLD
AFGHANISTAN: OSAMA BIN LADEN REPORTED INJURED
My hindquarters. The game is afoot.”bin Laden has now been severely injured and in need of prayers,” say the liars after having run this game so many, many times, still believing we are as stupid as they think we are.
bin Laden could not lead a 4 hour raid on his best of days since fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. He was the figurehead, not a fighter. Frontlines are dangerous and he was already ill for years.
Let me tell you what is stupid to the point of malfeasance. This report was turned in before the Gaza withdrawal. It was turned in before reports came flying out from the press over a week later that Iran IS now firmly in charge and has been shipping and supplying weapons to any faction who will fight against Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, Westerners anywhere, “Infidel Arab Leaders” whose countries have done business with either the west or Israel, Christians, and most of all, Hebrews. Intel knew and did nothing though American deaths have surged, allowed the Gaza to be cleared knowing these weapons had been shipped, and before the Eilat/Aqaba bombings.
Condoleezza Rice continues her ranting which borders on the maniacal. Bush tells us we are engaged in a Noble cause while facing the prospect of Sharia in Iraq. Jordan’s King is pissed at the manipulations which place Jordan in an almost impossible situation.
Recruiting, using this Osama blather, cannot help but whip young shaheeds into a murderous frenzy. They now BELIEVE they can win because everything the *West* has done has been more and more placating. Egypt has now opted out of anything resembling democracy. Why? Because the terrorists WILL take over, just as they have in Turkey and elsewhere. And they will do it the same way they did it in “palestine.” Join us or die.
Their Koran teaches them that even millions of Muslims are to be sacrificed in the name of an evil god if those in control are to achieve their final goal of world domination. To them, no one is innocent and anyone is expendable. WORLWIDE.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has chosen a parliament full of the worst of the worst hardliners in Iran’s bloody history. First order of business is to cause a genocide among the Kurds in Kurdistan and Iraq. He has embraced Mugniyah in Lebanon as his right arm. Zarqawi is heading for Africa and their *beloved sheik* is room temperature and likely buried in Saudi Arabia.
*********************************************

Me: Remember that this was 2005.
No less a journalist than Bill Gertz, a favorite in the biz, actually took this report and went on national television, albeit it timidly, and put forh the points in this analysis. NO ONE ever followed it up which is beyond infuriating.
Instead, intel agencies from around the world opted to keep bin laden alive and kicking to be dragged out of his grave and his obscurity whenever they needed a boost, whether it be funding, political points, whatever. GWB used the pit-roasted binny several times to pass legislation that eroded our freeoms significantly during his tenure.
Soon afterward, zarqawi, rather that ending up in Northen Africa, was killed because he jumped the gun and took credit for the Jordan bombing which got many of his own crew killed. They retaliated against him and he was killed by US Soldiers after they received a “tip” on his whereabouts.
Still later, a profiler spotted Mugniyah in a series of photographs and pinpointed his whereabouts directly to Benjamin Netanyahu via coded fax. He was killed in a carbombing which is believed to have been the work of Mossad.
There are many more points to ponder all arising from this “paraphrased” report which have proven this report to be factual on every evidentiary basis...which are still being borne out to this day.
