I'm all for bombing every Muslim country off the face of the earth, but for Powell to cite this as proof of a link makes him look like he's grasping.

A note about this strange incident.

Al-Jazeera played this to the Muslim world as a taped message from Osama Bin-Laden. Except for those who know him personally, is there any reason for a Muslim to doubt that this is OBL?

Guys, this isn't backwards propoganda or anything. Al-Jazeera, the farthest reaching mouthpiece for OBL, played this as an OBL message. Do you actually think that the Arabs would play a fake tape that actually INCITED the US to more action? Think about that. If they WANT us to fight, they are simply provoking us more.

If that actually is OBL, it is simply more circumstancial evidence that OBL is still wanting to mix it up.

Here is the bottom line - OBL wants/wanted to bomb and kill Americans. Many Muslims want to bomb and kill Americans. Saddam Hussein will bomb and kill Americans when given the opportunity.

I say let's practice some preventative medicine.

Sadly, agreed. I think the NATO debacle made the State Dept desperate that day.

I agree, I cringe everytime the mention it. I don't even see why we need proof this is war, not a trial. As Mao said, "War isn't about who is right and who is wrong, it is about who is left".
