Bin Laden tape hits the Web

Snippets of a purported new video clip of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden appeared on the Web on Friday, shortly after the clip was broadcast on the Arabic language Al Jazeera TV network.

Canadian television network CTV hosted video of an untranslated version of the broadcast on its Web site, while an MSNBC.com newscast offered a short translated clip, in which bin Laden made a reference to the U.S. presidential election.

"Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al-Qaida. Your security is in your own hands," bin Laden said, according to the MSNBC translation of the clip. In addition, bin Laden threatened new attacks on the United States.

NBC reported that the tape has been confirmed as authentic by U.S. officials and offers the first direct admission from bin Laden that he ordered the Sept. 11 attacks.

Bin Laden has released several video and audio messages since he went into hiding after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001. The last purported recorded message from bin Laden was posted on the Web on several sites on May 6. The audiotape urged the assassination of top U.S. and U.N. officials in Iraq.

Chances are Bin Laden is dead

and these tapes have been prerecorded. Bin Laden may have died in a cave-in while Afghanistan was bombed.

The election is so big, how can he stop it? He can't bomb every voting place.

If he is alive, we will find him and bring him to justice. Instead of dying, as he is prepared to, he will rot in jail for the rest of his life, being someone else's love slave.

Known

You meant to say that Kerry just lost the election, as he is now *officially* the Bin Laden candidate!!!

Bin Laden the Psychic?

Yes, Bin Laden probably made this tape well
before John Kerry was announced the
democratic canditate... and in fact before John
Kerry even announced his bid for the
presidency. Yes, I think you are right.

bomb vote booths?

I do not recall any mention of sabotaging the election in the tape.

Any talk of bringing bin Laden to justice was abandoned by both Bush and the population when invading Iraq was so en vogue.

It's a wonder people are parroting that line as if our troops are *not* currently tied up, struggling to keep things a float in Iraq while bin Laden speaks of bigger attacks on the U.S. Whos gonna protect us now?..........

And to think Bush announced "he wasn't concerned" about bin Laden a short while ago. Go figure.

What is "ol Bin" so mad about ?

He keeps on threating us but he never has told us exactly line by line what is burning him up.

We went over there when he "invited us" with the killing of 2000 people and the trade towers.

If he is going to do all this, he should take the time to explain why.

Bin-Laden Even Quotes Michael Moore!!

If you listen to the tape, he pretty much runs down the DNC talking points verbatim. He feels sorry for us that Bush sat in a class full of kids. He's reaching out to Kerry supporters. Simply unbelievable...!

Special...

Years ago, we had a retarded boy live in our
neighborhood. He was a really nice kid and everybody
liked him. I even gave him some simple jobs around
the house to make him feel useful. But, one thing
I would not do was give him my car keys! No matter
how much he wanted to drive my car, it would be
irresponsible of me to let give drive a car!
Unfortunately, America allowed Bush to steal the car
keys once. Will we allow him to drive the car again
even after he managed to drive it into a poll already?

more right propaganda

This tape magically appeared the weekend before the election. Right after Kerry gets two smacks in with the iraq weapons and the halliberton thing. I hope most people realize that OBL is not a threat and poverty is a threat. We need to get Bush out of there on Tuesday and not let a stupid man from afganistan stop us from doing that.

Well Put

Good point...

Not a threat...

Of course bin laden is not a threat. Michael Moore says "There is no terrorist threat." In fact, bin laden himself says he feels sorry for us because we made him mad and he didn't want to have to hurt the people so bad. So I guess you are right, everyone agrees from Michael Moore to Bin Laden himself; there is no threat.

Now, back to those raging flu shot debates! Pay attention stupid Americans, this is important to your health! You might die!
