Season’s Greetings From Osama Bin LadenPosted on Sep 7, 2007
The word on the street, also known as the news media, is that Osama bin Laden plans to mark the anniversary of 9/11 with one of his famous YouTube-caliber videos. Expect anti-American vitriol, terror alerts and long lines at the airport—as long as our government is still paying attention to these things, that is. Check out the link below for compelling beard analysis. Update: The video has been released. Check out this excerpt and analysis.

I wonder if our CIA has thought to look in the Lincoln Bedroom of the Darkhouse for that evasive binLaden.
Report thisThe whole binLaden family have been longtime friends of the Bush family.
The Bush family always made their millions selling arms to binLaden and binLaden helped finance young Georges oil company that failed much like his presidency.

How convenient that Bushs good ole reliable pop-up puppet rears it’s ugly head. It couldn’t have been timed better if Cheney himself had arranged it. Hey, wait a minute, he did. Let’s hope the Decider doesn’t use this as an excuse to invade Iran, which he is just dying to do, for whatever deluded and untruthful reason he will feed to the American public.
Report thisThis new body double, his forehead is smaller that the other OBL and the rest of his face is fuller and younger, the dye job would not acount for that. For a person who was IV’ed and suffering from renal shutdown-kidney failure, and needing dialsys, who lived in the unsanitary conditions by living in caves,and was reported to haved died a few years ago, he lookd pretty good for a dead person, and a lot younger also.

Osama must have a great doctor keeping him alive, dialysis and all.
I see he uses the same fox news makeup people.

According to Al Jezeera, right after this video made its way onto the tv sets of America, all of the Islamist websites that pushes it went down, all of them. No details as to who pulled the sites, the Islamists or the US and/or its corporate spy cartel.
Report thisDid the US spooks hack in long enough to make it look like the Islamists were pushing it, then crash the sites? That’s my first hunch.
Why does bin Laden, whose like some kind of ultra republican himself (was?) ally with all the liberal (and ‘conspiracy nutjob’) voices? Are we to assume he is prochoice and against prayer in school as well?

Nobody care about him but Bush and Co.

More and more, I wonder if Osama is still alive. The picture of Osama is a menacing clarion cry for Bush propaganda. The terrorist fear-card has been played so much that any fabrication is justified in the Bush/neocon minds. There is no reason to believe the truth of any Bush administration statement. We all know with great surety that words are used to deceive, politicize, obfuscate, divert, rouse or promote. They are not for education (thought has been banned in the White House) or for analysis, or for reason.

Now I see what the Shootist has been up to these past weeks.
Report thisAt first I thought he was playing Saddam in his hidey hole, but no, he was ginning up another incident.
Least he could have done was use a file photo of bin Laden rather than try to Photo Shop one. Or was that intentional so the CIA wouldn’t look too hard and find the link back to the old Naval Observatory?

Nice to hear from a REAL leader once in a while.
This is the guy who’s REALLY running things. Everyone else is just running around reacting to his whims.
The mighty USA can’t find him - probably not even looking - he’s too smart for them. But they sure have tabs on YOU - your emails and phone calls, transactions and movements are all on file!
It all would be very funny if so many innocent people weren’t caught in the middle.

The last confirmed tape from OBL was in October 2004? Hmmm. What else was happening back then? Oh, yeah—a presidential election!!!!!! Remember we were all being told that OBL hoped for a Kerry victory, and to deliver that would just be letting the terrorists win?
Report thisOkay, it’s not yet 2008, but the campaign is already well underway, with the GOP candidates all strapping on their codpieces and telling us that we have to stay and win in Iraq—or else OBL will come and get us!

Seems it’s getting time for the neo-cons to start pushing their fear tactics out front of any bad message about their failing occupancy of Iraq.
Report thisThe only thing scary about bin Laden is that he and his family have always been longtime friends with the Bush clan.

Since the obvious fake bin Laden who confessed to 9/11, the world of plastic surgery and photoshop has come around several circles. Expect a more convincing fake this time. Surely they can do better than this:

Amazing how helpful Al Qaeda is with the PR needs of the Bush administration. Bin Laden has apparently been with his maker for some time now, or the Bush administration would not have felt compelled to trot out obvious fakes. But a new video of “bin Laden” always seems to turn up conveniently whenever Bush wants to ratchet up a distraction, or create a reason to attack a new country.
