[Angelus Errare]

There you have it, gents.

[Mo1]

Thanks

[TLBSHOW]

Allah is a fake like Islam! As Savage said tonight on his show there is one God! Not Allah!

[Dog Gone]

Well, much as I hate to say it, this doesn't indicate that al-Qaida is a partner of Iraq. It's more of a call to arms on behalf of Iraq.

It's not a subtle difference.

[piasa]

I would be amazed if just once, we could go an entire article using the word "allah" instead of translating it as "God." Do they have two words or do they use Allah all the time in Arabic? Is there some rule somewhere that translators can't just uses "Allah" all the time?

Trenches with 3 brothers each spread over one square mile. Napalm or a few passes with an AC130 should give them eternal rest.

My comment on Bin Laden's message: Yawn.

He's probably upset that he hasn't been getting much press time....

[swheats]

I will narrate to you part of that great battle, to show how cowardly they are on the one hand, and how effective trenches are in exhausting them on the other. We were about 300 mujahideen [Islamic militants].We dug 100 trenches that were spread in an area that does not exceed one square mile, one trench for every three brothers, so as to avoid the huge human losses resulting from the bombardment.

As with all criminals they become arrogant and tell of all their means of evading the good guys. We'll get 'em. Might take some time, but we'll get 'em.

We should have asked Afghanistan for permission to perform and undergound test of a thermonuclear device of about 5 killotons at Tora Bora in November of 2000. Problem solved. Cheap, Clean and Fast, No collateral damage, fear of God instilled in our enemies around the world. World Order re-established.

I read another translation of this tape and it linked Iraq and al quada a bit better. Sounds to me like whoever this is speakin is tryin to stiffen some spines. It worked in Mogandishu. Al Quada had put enough troops and advisors in there to make a difference with the Sammies fightin spirit, so ta speak. Might work here. Won't make any difference, cause if we go, we are going to kick their a$$.

[William Terrell]

I don't know. It seems we're lacking Saddam's reply, "Ok, Brothers in Allah, let's do it!".

[a_Turk]

Look into my eyyyesss!

[Gunslingr3]

There will only be haphazard strikes that dissipate the enemy ammunition and waste its money. Dig many trenches. The [early Muslim caliph] Umar, may God be pleased with him, stated: "Take the ground as a shield because this will ensure the exhaustion of all the stored enemy missiles within months." Their daily production is too little and can be dealt with, God willing.

These poor clowns have no idea how much wealth the United States produces.

[knak]

Quite a difference in the translations. Here's the one I posted earlier.

Transcript of Osama Bin Laden Tape Recording

[Paleo Conservative]

The following is the full text of an audio message purported to be by al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, broadcast on Arab television station al-Jazeera on 11 February. In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate.

If Osama bin Lauden is still alive, why doesn't he show his face on a video tape?

[Mike Darancette]

We were about 300 mujahideen [Islamic militants].We dug 100 trenches that were spread in an area that does not exceed one square mile, one trench for every three brothers, so as to avoid the huge human losses resulting from the bombardment.

They were in small covered slit trenches on the flat ground while we bombed the hell out of the caves and the mountiansides. Next time use a little Napalm in the valleys too.

[Kevin Curry]

Osama must be a regular poster at DU and Liberty Post. I've read his stuff there.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Much,much,much too much info. on trenches 1 sq. mile they will never get us.And OBL knows our machinery well LOL he did correct one time and said "smart bombs" "stupid bombs" OBL has no humor and this was dry witted.

[amom]

FYI

[justa-hairyape]

"Under these circumstances, there will be no harm if the interests of Muslims converge with the interests of the socialists in the fight against the crusaders, despite our belief in the infidelity of socialists."

There it is. Justification for the Mujahadeen to work with the Socialists. Supposedly straight from the lips of the number one Mujahadeen fighter.
