Apparently the last video was so bad, the actor so not like the 2004 actor and both of those actors so unlike the photos I’ve seen of the supposed ‘real’ OBL, with a narrow hawkish nose, I guess they just gave up for fear of more scrutiny and downgraded to audio. The pentagon, I hear, has really cool computerish ways to match voices! What a crock of cheese-whiz this all is.

BRAVO!!...on the post Don. My sentiments exactly!!
Just exactly what the hell part do they want this OBL guy to play? They conveniently use him to instill huge fears of omnipresent boggymen, waiting around every corner, and under every basement, and behind every shadow, (including our own), and then Frances Townsend tells us he’s no big deal, even though she’s the same one who accused those detainees who committed suicide at Gitmo, of using it as an asymetrical war tactic against the US.
Right!! They finally manage to suceed in escaping that unbearable misery by hanging themselves, and she accuses them of an act of war.
Meantime, I don’t believe OBL is still alive. But, that’s just my thought. And, because of that video he allegedly released a week or two ago, that WAS NOT HIM, I’m really skeptical about this audio tape as well.

The administration issued a statement today that they “Dismissed” Bin Ladens latest message to his followers. Seems they dismissed him before, prior to the 9-11 attacks. Ignoring all in their rush to plan the clusterfuck thats become Iraq. On one hand bu$h mentions Al Queda everytime he talks of his war, as if most of the killing is from them in Iraq. Then they state , thru Francis Townsend that he is impodent , implying he’s no longer much of a threat. They use him to impose fear and justify their killing spree in the middle east on one hand and dismiss him at the same time. So which is it George ? You can’t have it both ways.Thats the problem with pathological liars. Its difficult to keep all the lies straight. Luckilly for bu$h, alot of republicans maintain a healthy dose of willfull ignorance refusing to connect any of the dots.

Reminds me of the Willie Nelson film Barbarosa, Willie (Barbarosa) dies and another (Gary Busey) takes the name.
The name never dies because the body is never found.

It is amazing rather than on the run Bin Laden is making political videos.The most astounding thing to me is the American peoples lack of outrage that the man who masterminded 911 is out there making videos and our government does not seem to give a damn.Bin Laden is like a government in exile.The only thing that would guarantee Bin Laden would be captured is if he discovers oil.
