“What’s the difference between OSM and the New York Times editorial page?”

“While I can well believe that al Qaeda has no clue about America—they rely on the MSM, after all—how does one explain the apparent mixup of the Vietnam chronology? It reads as if the evil Rumsfeld started the war and then the noble Kennedy was elected to stop it, but then he caved to the forces of monopoly capitalism. Except that the evil Rumsfeld—the Nixon/Ford Rumsfeld—came AFTER the noble Kennedy who fell from grace to make some money for his impoverished family.

  1. Right – the beard, the face – and the speech. That’s not Osama Bin Laden.
    The person is – whoever he is – not Bin Laden. No, I don’t think it’s Bin Laden using Grecian Formula. Leave that to Garth Turner and the various tribal Big Oil sheiks of the ME.
    And I don’t think it’s a fake beard because ‘the real Bin Laden is shaven as a disguise’. Heck, if you are trying for some credibility, at least give the guy a real Bin Laden beard – long, stringy, grey/white striped.
    And that speech was not Bin Laden, who wrote and spoke in the ‘grand oral manner’ – theatric, grandiose metaphors and multiple references to Allah’.
    That speech was written by a westerner – a leftist, written within a braindead mindset of leftist verbiage – such as “terrorism caused by your neocolonial actions’ (ignoring the colonial warmongering of the Muslims for centuries in Euroope).. And leftist hippy talk of global warming, capitalistm, big business evils and so on.
    AND – it was written for the left, asking them to get out of the ME (Iraq and Afghanistan) and I don’t mean simply in a military sense but in an economic and political sense – and instead – work against the Real Enemies: capitalism, big business etc.
    The ME HAS to move into democracy; it HAS to industrialize and build up a middle class, it has to have big business and private enterprise. This speech was asking the western leftist to assist Islamic fascism in repressing democracy and a civic gov’t in the ME.

  2. Read the translation of OBL’s speech. Funny thing. Through much of it I just couldn’t shake the feeling that I was reading the key note address to be give at the Democrat National Convention.

  3. It’s a similar platform to the Democrats and our own New Democrats except for one thing.
    This bit about Muslims only paying 2.5% tax will not fly with the ‘I love big government’ types.
    For those unfamiliar with history, it was exactly this ‘Muslims pay no taxes’ approach which helped fuel Muslim expansion into Europe.
    The populace was tired of paying taxes to finance wars by their kings and so Mohammed and his ilk used that wedge for their expansion.
    So, who is left to pay taxes?
    The dhimmis, of course.
    They would be the portion of the population which the Sword of God guys did not behead as an example to what could happen to the rest.
    Dhimmis did the work, paid all the taxes while the Muslims were left to puruse a life of leisure, since work was beneath them.
    Hmm. It does sound like Taliban Jack after all.

  5. Inconsistencies from previous appearances aside (droopy eyes, hair colour, DNC talking points etc.), at 1:40 the video is abruptly spliced and at 1:55 the video freezes as the audio continues until the end of the tape without the video ever starting again. — Yet the MSM proclaims his appearance dispels rumours that he has died without ever questioning or even mentioning this obvious deception.

  8. Reading the translated version of the message gives me the impression that that it was written by a committee of leftists.
    Contributions from Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi,the late (unlamented) Ayman al- Zawahiri, Kim Jong-il, Fidel Castro, Hugo Cahvez George Soros, Naom Chomsky, David Suzuki, Al Gore, Ward Churchill, LLoyd Axworthy, Stephen Lewis, Avi Lewis and Jack Layton as the Canadian contributers.
    I am with ET and Mark Steyn on this.
    Osama is-a-gonna, long-a timeago – dead – period.

  9. What’s with the beard? Has he been on queer eye for the muslim guy?
    Who cares if it’s him or not. If they trotted him out ala Saddam and hung him, it’s not like the jihadis would say, pack it in boys, they got him.

  11. Here is my theory for the reason why you see a lot of people seeming to hope he is still alive:
    Many people I’ve talked to (usually ignorant people that seem to think we have troops in Iraq as well as Afghanistan, but this is not always the case, sometimes this thinking comes from the relatively more informed persons I’ve talked to) seem to think the only reason we are in Afghanistan right now is to “get Bin Laden”. These same people seem to believe that once we “get him” everything will be rosy and we can bring our troops home and everything will be like it was pre 11 Sept 2001, because of course without Bin Laden however could terrorists operate? (Perhaps these people have been watching too many action movies).
    If Bin Laden is in fact dead these people’s whole world view goes out the door because there are still many instances of Islamic barbarity occurring in the world today (some reported in the news, many not), and they would no longer be able to blame them on Bin Laden; instead they would have to deal with the situation at hand, that is, these acts are being committed by groups of people that are quite more widespread than just Al Queda.

  12. Bin Laden (or whoever) has made a huge error in latest tirade. He has made it clear that the only way fascist Islam will be molified is if we in the west capitulate and become Muslim. At the same time, the tone of the message is that AQ is losing, and that’s the people’s fault, and they will pay through terrorism.
    His link up with Marxist Leninism shows why so many leftists would rather talk about Bush than Bin Laden and his ilk. If the electorate ever links up his meanderings with those of the left (Kyoto, globalism, of course Dubya), the Democrats in US and everybody but the Conservatives here (IOW moonbats) will lose lots of moderate support.
    Even if this is fake Bin Laden, it is still from AQ/fascist Islamists. They are apparently planning a big body count terror attack, which they will blame on Iraq. We must remember that AQ has changed their argument, sort on a outrage de jour, with Iraq as latest. If US hadn’t invaded, they simply would have invented some other excuse.
    Don’t let lefties get away with CIA plot garbage. The moonbats who actually think for more than four seconds at a time will see their vulnerability, with their talking points echoed by a murdering tyrant whose ilk has killed way more Muslims for way longer than the West could ever.
    So let’s review for benefit our our local trolls – leaving ME not enough, getting rid of Dubya not enough, Israel disappearing not enough. Total capitulation from the oppressors (democracy, freedom, prosperity) to the oppressed (abject poverty, genital mutilation, beheadings) and moving our societies towards medievalism (as many radical red green types want too) is the only acceptable way to avoid terror attacks. I say, bring it on asshole, then we can go after you (Islamists and their state defenders like SA) with all we’ve got.
    Maybe that’s what Jack Layton means by negotiation.

  13. Is the whole damned world gone crazy or just the Democrats and the taxidermied Bin Laden?
    We should be worried when we hear some of the fools in our midst. Talk about the enemy within.

  14. David Brooks from New York Times comparing him to a lefty blogger? That’s gotta hurt.
    Have to agree with many who claim it doesn’t look like bin laden. That chin spinach looks a tad too luxuriant, and the moustache is positively Marxist.(Groucho, i mean, not the cranky one)
