  1. From what I gather, Bin Laden is admitting that we’re winning. As to whether the left will understand this is unlikely.
    Very much an appeal to the moonbats, although his idea to embrace Islam in order to pay 2.5% tax certainly wouldn’t appeal to the left.
    The very dead Bin Laden needs a new press agent.

  2. Guess he’s alive, or that’s one hell of a double. If I were a Democrat I’d be cringing.
    Dion, Layton and Duceppe are on Osama’s team. Treasonous bastards.
    Not only does the caterwauling from Democrats, Liberals, NDP and Bloc play right into Osama’s hands, but their enthusiasm for crushing the capitalistic system that built our great countries matches Osama’s thinking.
    Its only my opinion, but they should be jailed for desertion.
    Pricks, just like the Albatross and his friends.

  3. yes, Allah Akbar!
    Let us all convert and start paying only 2% in taxes. There will be peace as well! Killer jihadis are now against global warming too! They have really broaded their platform.

  4. Curiously, this reminds me of Lord Ha Ha during WWII.
    Convert to the National Socialist cause or die!
    As a pure propaganda piece, I think Osama has studied his history, if this tape turns out to be validated.
    Cheers

  5. That’s another bogus tape from the dead Osama Bin Late. A very black beard obliterates lips so it’s and animated old photo to lip sinc using an impersonator. We are not the only ones who produce mimics!
    File under how stupid do they really think the Western world is? Maybe we should hold the answer!

  6. He also goes on to talk about the fact that there are no taxes in his version of Islam. Does this mean he’s also aligned with the right? After all, if Osama says so, then it must be true!

  7. The liberals will not feel any shame or any
    distress with this speaking by OBL.
    They will somehow spin it to be bad news for
    the surge, the war and HOW they have tried to
    please OBL. Joke, but true?
    I feel nothing but disgust for the liberals who
    are making political moves by being against
    the war in Iraq, Afghanistan and here at home.
    Now that OBL has gone political we should
    be aware he is not a stupid terrorists,
    anyone who thought 9/11 up knew what they
    were doing and were nearly successful. If the
    plane going to Washington had gotten there
    and destroyed their target, be it the White
    House or Congress, maybe people would see they
    can destroy us so easily it is pathetic and
    they will if we do not grow up and smarten up.
    Will the liberals win? If the people of the world
    continue to deny the facts, they will and
    then OBL can come to supper.
    Can we find some way other than complain and
    watch the libs win, here in Canada?

  8. Frankly – I agree with Mark Steyn. Bin Laden is dead – long, long dead. Whoever or whatever has replaced him in these video games is not Bin Laden.
    Moreover, the verbiage is – heck, it’s typical standard western leftist verbiage. It doesn’t have the ‘ring’ of a non-westerner. And it certainly doesn’t have the ‘ring’ of the tribal Islamic mind.
    Instead, the talk is only about the ‘key words’ of the western left: – such as the election of Bush, the neo-conservatives, the war in Iraq, anti-democracy, anti big business and big corporations, global warming, taxes etc etc.
    It’s 100% western leftism. That’s its focus; western leftism and the left’s standard areas of hostility. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing Islamic about it.
    You know what? I suspect it’s written by a western leftist in the pay of Al Qeda or Al Jazeera. And that’s not Bin Laden; he’s dead.

  9. This is scary, as the muslems believe you have to give your enemies a chance to convert before you kill them. Apparently they did this convert to islam thing before 9/11.

  10. Queer eye for the Jihadi guy or at the very least Grecian Formula has done wonders for Deadladan – he’s getting younger with each tape.
    I bet he’s torn between claiming responsibility for 911 and joining the Troofers.

  11. by the way – has anyone noticed that the pictures of Bin Laden in 2004, for example, show his hair and beard as all grey. Heh – now he’s got dark, dark hair.
    Either he dyes his hair and beard (yeah, sure..)
    Or – the picture is a fake, old one..with lip sync
    Or – he’s a younger double and the twits didn’t think to dye the hair grey.
    Remember, Saddam Hussein used MANY doubles.
    Or..
    But he’s still dead. And that speech was written by a western leftist. Not a Middle East person, not a Muslim. Not an Islamic fascist. A western leftist.

  12. Yeah, but now they’re campaigning.
    Elect the Sharia party and pay 2.5% tax! And, women can’t vote! And, and, men can have 4 wives (but if your name is Mohammad, you can have 20)! And women must obey, because they are worth half of a man! And death to gays! And, divorce is easy, just say ‘I divorce you’ three times! Cool eh?
    Yet, the fact that the right are against them and the left are for them says everything. Moonbats are one and the same as Islamic imbiciles.

  13. This speech is so strange. It is like he is going for a more left of centre message to gain votes in the next election.Kyoto,greedy corporations,bad america,Chomsky,all what the lefties thrive on. IF this is the genuine thing we all better hope the libs never get back into power or else he will be forgiven and made Canada’s roving ambassador at large. M.Matt is right in the first post,he stole Taliban jacks talking points,or maybe jack is over there writing for him.

  14. I read the transcript. A truly excrutiating experience. The essence of it all is Bush and western democracy is to blame. Capitalism is bad. Arab countries poor due to not following i-slam. Blah, blah, blah.
    Elect the democrats. (OK he didn’t explicitly say that, but rather limply complained thye the democrats hadn’t stopped the war).
    STOP THE WAR! This is the major message. He want’s the war to stop, just like all losers.

  15. Wallyj, I posted before reading any other posts.
    I had the same sentiment. He sounded liker a democratic presidential candidate 🙂

  16. ET You may be right. It lacked the venom and islamic millenarianism of the original B.L.
    He maybe has foreign PR advisers; he personally wouldn’t compromise himself withou a reason. As previoyusly said, it’s just the old leftist claptrap.
    If he really is persobnally responsible for this, then he is making a deliberately play for the leftists’ support.

  17. Your heroic defense of the secular welfare state is duly noted, Irwin Daisy. F***ing crypto commie.
    I see Blogging “Tories” campaigning for a Liberal who actively encourages Indian terrorism in Ontario and who announced $14.7 billion in new spending today. And I see Osama denouncing the welfare state, 35 year mortgages, the mainstream media, and Hollywood. Hmmmm.
    “he is making a deliberately play for the leftists’ support.”
    Don’t get faked out by the Chomsky reference, WC. OBL is making a transparent attempt to suck up to the REAL right, read the transcript, see my comments above, and I’m sure you’ll agree.

  18. ET: “Frankly – I agree with Mark Steyn.”
    “Moreover, the verbiage is – heck, it’s typical standard western leftist verbiage.”
    “Instead, the talk is only about the ‘key words’ of the western left: – such as the election of Bush…”
    For the love of all that is holy and pure, please learn how to use em dashes properly.

  19. Oh. My. Gawd.
    Osama Yo Mamma is giving out Democrat party talking points?
    3…2…1… BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
    Man, that is SWEET! Who wants to join me in telling Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Taliban Jack:
    We feeeeel your pain. ~:D

  20. I agree with the posters who point out that it was as if written by our glorious North American left. What is truly sad, is that it will be lost on them all that they are as repulsive as Bin Laden himself.
    I’d like to see that Pooftah Dion and Layton side by side against a wall, stoned by the very religious wackoffs they are so determined to assist. This confilct a test of our national will, and they and the left they lead are determined to help us get a failing grade. It would be better for the majority of Canadians if Dion and Layton took a few rocks the head and spent the remainder of their lives in a Brain injury centre. Actually, when I think of it they wouldn’t even have to get knocked on the head to qualify for long term disability.
    Where’s the Albatross? Is he feeling a little sheepish today? Somehow, I doubt it.

  21. chicago style – keep calm. This is a blog, not a journal article or book. I’ll continue to use the dash and dish as I please.
    Now – what is going on? The video shows a Bin Laden with a dark thick beard – more similar to him PRIOR to 2001.
    Yet, pictures of him in 2001, 2003 and 2004 show him clearly, with GREY hair and beard and the beard has a white stripe below the lip – and thinner beard.
    So- does he dye his beard? heh.
    Or – is the person a double?
    Or – is it an old picture with a lip sync and they forgot that his 2003, 2004 pictures show him with his hair/beard almost completely grey?
    Check out the speeches. The 2001 is filled with flowery metaphors and references to allah.
    The 2003 – less.
    The 2004 – less
    The 2007 – pure western rhetoric of the left.
    I conclude that Bin Laden died in 2002-03.

  22. It’s a rethuglican plot arraigned by the shrub and his CIA lackeys in order to make the progressive left look bad. Aligning OBL with Democratic Party positions this close to an election is designed specifically to discredit the DNC in the eyes of the American people! As an added bonus, they get to totally eliminate Hillary because of Bill’s inaction in removing OBL when he had the chance. This little ploy has KKKaral Rove all over it. That bastard should be in jail but the shrub sacrificed Libby instead! Effing Rethuglicans!!!
    /soon-to-be moonbat talking points
    Unfortunately, it doesn’t look too good for the DNC and Hillary in particular that OBL is repeating their talking points.

  23. Liz J: That’s another bogus tape from the dead Osama Bin Late. A very black beard obliterates lips so it’s and animated old photo to lip sinc using an impersonator. We are not the only ones who produce mimics!
    ET: But he’s still dead. And that speech was written by a western leftist. Not a Middle East person, not a Muslim. Not an Islamic fascist. A western leftist.
    According to an unnamed senior intelligence source quoted by ABC News and other news outlets, “initial technical analysis suggests the voice on the tape is indeed Osama Bin Laden.” True, it’s an anonymous source, and it’s the incompetent MSM, and the combined technical analysis capabilities of the DHS, CIA, DoD, etc. isn’t as sophisticated as, say, comparing the colour of his facial hair or deeming the transcript as not quite having “the ‘ring’ of a non-westerner,” so take it for what it’s worth.

  24. But he’s still dead. And that speech was written by a western leftist.
    ET, you may be on to something
    which is scarier than hell. The new handlers of his corpse have endorsed the Dems/Libs in NA and the EU in essence. They certainly are pandering for those voters.
    Recycling OBL as an envirno and Chomsky guy, pandering to lefty campuses, smacks of the usual lefty immoral debauchery, no surprise as most of us were on target that this was a two front war.
    You have to wonder who is receiving campaign checks from whom?
    We can not defeat the terrorist until we defeat their western sympathizers first.

  25. What a frickin’ joke.
    I suppose Osama “Weekend at Bernie’s” Bin Latte also asked us to recycle, avoid styrofoam and support breast cancer research.

  26. ET: So- does he dye his beard? heh.
    From the only unbiased news source in the world: “One difference in bin Laden’s appearance was immediately obvious in the video. Bin Laden’s beard appears to have been dyed, a popular practice among Arab leaders, said Rita Katz, director of the SITE Institute, a Washington-based group that monitors terror messages.”

  27. The right say its proof that the Dems and the left are on the side of OBL. The left says its some bizarre reverse psychology thingy to turn people against the Dems and the left and is really supporting the right.
    Could it be possible, I’m just throwing it out there, that Osama (or this incredibly lame simulation) is just looking to further wedge the divide between left/right in the West to get them bickering amongst themselves? I dunno, I intend to agree that it’s more than just coincidence that he’s blurting more basic Western leftist talking points, it just all seems very weird, though.

  28. Man, I can hardly wait to hear Limbaugh’s parody of this. They are probably in the studio right now making up a new song.
    Bwahaha!!!!! What a giggle!

  29. My favorite part is that he’s telling “911 truthers” they are wrong about Bush.
    🙂
    Gives me warm fuzzies whoever he is. That would be the Islamic tribal bit if you ask me.

  30. “This is scary, as the muslems believe you have to give your enemies a chance to convert before you kill them. Apparently they did this convert to islam thing before 9/11.”
    Thanks for the shivers, alan. That makes too much freaking sense.
    Who was it that said, “You have to be lucky 1000 times, we only have to be lucky once.”? I think it was the IRA to the Brits, but it holds here, too. And there was all that weird stuff going on, constant to-and-froing, U.S. plates, etc., in the house of the letter-bomber in Toronto (the one the neighbours called “the bunker”). Here’s hoping they were all undercover CSIS agents.
    By the way, about the black beard . . . the Taliban have been photographed with make-up and mascara (Instapundit linked a few days ago to a reporter’s story on the weirdness of tons of ultra-puritanical Islamists in drag), so a little hair-colour is not going to deprive Numero Uno of his virgins. I’m still inclined with many of you to think he’s dead,though. Who’s keeping his kidneys going? They need a awful-hard-to-get-working-in-a-cave dialysis machine, big bad Western invention that it is. Did you know he wouldn’t even let one of his wives use a decadent Western-invented bottle for her baby? She had to use a spoon, and the baby was going hungry because it wasn’t working. This was all related in that really interesting book by one of Osama’s sisters-in-law, called “Inside the Kingdom.” Baby goes hungry, but he still gets his kidneys cleaned. Or did. Hope it’s “did”.

  31. “My favorite part is that he’s telling “911 truthers” they are wrong about Bush.”
    Great point, DrWright. Every time this man/dubbed voice/Al Qaeda chap talks about Allah’s vegeance on 9/11, those Truthers have to think of a whole new zany web to explain why he’s taking credit for Bush’s gig. (“They’re in it together! That’s right! Together! Bush and bin Laden!!)
    Or did Michael Moore already make that clear?

  32. Noam Chomsky, the Kyoto accord?
    A living breathing Bin Liner would more likely pronounce his ruminations on Bikini waxing.

  33. Penny My contention for a long long time. If and when the shooting ever starts, about turn, fire, protect your back first.

  34. a- don’t be silly. Dying one’s hair and beard may be a popular practice among Arab leaders of the Saudi Arabia, the Iraq, the etc.. but Bin Laden is NOT an Arab leader – and he despises those people.
    He’s a purist, someone who is focused on the essentialist, fundamentalist Islam – and that set doesn’t dye their hair.
    That’s not Bin Laden. I agree with Mark Steyn – Bin Laden is long, long dead.
    And that speech was a western leftist SECULAR perspective, not the mindset of a fundamentalist Islamist.

  35. ET: He’s a purist, someone who is focused on the essentialist, fundamentalist Islam – and that set doesn’t dye their hair.
    There’s a job waiting for you at the DHS.

  36. a- you don’t win an argument by ad hominem. You win an argument by providing facts, data and logic. So far – you haven’t provided any. Try again.
    Facts: Bin Laden has never dyed his hair. He’s not and never has been, part of the Rich and Wealthy Power-Types of the ME – eg, Saddam Hussein.
    And, as he aged, his beard became long, thin and stringy.
    That video of today – is not an image of Bin Laden.
    Facts: his rhetoric is typical faith-based Islamist – a flowery rhetoric, filled with references to fate, to the will of Allah, to submission etc.
    This speech of today was secular. It was written by a westerner – not a ME fundamentalist Islamist.
    By the way – even the CNN suggested the speech was written by someone, a Westerner..an American..who became an Islamist.
    Facts: Bin Laden hasn’t been seen in anything other than a chest-up video for about five years. With his health problems – never mind the bombings – he can’t have survived. He’s dead.
    Enjoy your dreams of his living forever.

  37. So now the video is a fake for Democratic talking points.
    Perhaps we should rename the video as a promo for
    you guessed it:
    “OBAMA BIN LADEN”
    The punditry will have a field day!!
    Lord Haw Haw has struck again, from beyond the grave.
    Cheers

  38. Bin Laden needs an image makeover. First, drop the Osama.
    Then, instead of Bin, he should go with something like Ben, or, even better, Bob.
    Bob Laden — there’s a big improvement right there.
    Instead of Laden, Loudon would be better.
    Bob Loudon — that would go a long way to rehabilitiate his image.

  39. The Left and the jihadists are natural enemies. Here’s George Galloway interviewed by the Iraq News Network interview with British Laborite, progressive, Saddam ally and hero of such letwing websites as Counterpunch.org and CommonDreams.org.
     
    Mohammad Basirul Haq Sinha: “You often call for uniting Muslim and progressive forces globally. How far is it possible under current situation?”
     
    Galloway: “Not only do I think it’s possible but I think it is vitally necessary and I think it is happening already. It is possible because the progressi ve movement around the world and the Muslims have the same enemies. Their enemies are the Zionist occupation, American occupation, British occupation of poor countries mainly Muslim countries. They have the same interest in opposing savage capitalist globalization which is intent upon homogenizing the entire world turning us basically into factory chickens which can be forced fed the American diet of everything from food to Coca-Cola to movies and TV culture. And whose only role in life is to consume the things produced endlessly by the multinational corporations. And the progressive organizations & movements agree on that with the Muslims.”  
     
    Otherwise we believe that we should all have to speak as Texan and eat McDonalds and be ruled by Bush and Blair. So on the very grave big issues of the day-issues of war, occupation, justice, opposition to globalization-the Muslims and the progressives are on the same side.
     

  40. ET: Facts: Bin Laden has never dyed his hair…And, as he aged, his beard became long, thin and stringy.
    Another possible explanation, this time from Rupert Murdoch’s UK paper of record: “American security experts suggested last night that bin Laden’s beard in the latest images, thicker and lacking the grey hairs of three years ago, might be false. This could indicate that the world’s most wanted man had gone clean-shaven to conceal his identity, terror experts speculated.”
    Granted, it’s not as compelling an argument as, “Osama would never dye his beard because I, like, know him, and he totally isn’t like that,” but what do you expect from The Times?
    By the way – even the CNN suggested the speech was written by someone, a Westerner..an American..who became an Islamist.
    Whether or not Adam Gadahn wrote some or all of the speech, which is what some gov’t officials have speculated, says nothing about whether the speaker in the video is or is not bin Laden.
    With his health problems – never mind the bombings – he can’t have survived. He’s dead.
    Not according to, among other sources, the CIA: “The new video of Osama bin Laden released on Friday appears to be genuine, top CIA officials say. Israel Radio reported that Bin Laden’s appearance in the video was his first in three years.”

  41. This is going to turn out to be a bad body double, but in the greater scheme of things it probably doesn’t matter. I think the real guy is dead, sometime in 2005, but the idea of him is now firmly entrenched in the mind of the anti-American terrorist community. Consequently the idea and the training camps dotted around Afghanistan and Pakistan are all that is required … they are self sustaining now.

  43. Bin Laden is right about one thing only … our taxes are insane.
    Could this have been written by a leftie … they love high taxes. So what gives here?
    I am confused. Could that be how they want me?
    Confused or not, I hate them, fear them and want Bush or whomever becomes our next president to kill more or them and faster please.

  44. Oh come on guys/gals. Has it taken this long for you to figure out that it is really Mikey-he’ll-belive-any-shit-Moore posing as OBL?? That’s why there is no shots below the chest! Would give the game away!

  45. Before ever watching the video I determined it was a fake by listening to all the pre-release hype it was receiving. Reminded me of a Hollywood block buster.
    Having seen the silly thing how anyone can believe it is genuine is beyond me. Without debating the appearance of a much younger looking bin Laden the subject matter in this video is not even on bin Laden’s radar screen. A man doesn’t live the dedicated life of a religious zealot only to become a lickspittle of the vacuous left.
    The only question I have is, where is the green hat guy and the old lady with the magic bullets that keep hitting her house?
    Bin Laden died during a bombing raid on Tora Bora.
