New Bin Laden Tape Surfaces

An anonymous submitter writes "Osama bin Laden delivered a new videotaped message in which he told Americans their security does not depend on the president they elect, but on U.S. policy. 'Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al Qaeda.'"

Let me be the first to breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Not to mention that what you put in your mouth and how much exercise probably has much more to do with how long you live.

I was beginning to stuff my face with McDonalds as I read it.

Al Jazeera did not translate one phrase properly

[vandelais]

"Ashlee Simpson and her band of infidels had failed Americans with her Saturday Night Live performance, deceiving the nation and putting it at risk from further al Qaeda strikes", bin Laden said. The speech was his clearest claim yet of responsibility for the Sept. 11 strikes of 2001.

Even worse:

"Senator Kerry and President Bush have held 11 secret meetings in the past 2 weeks, planning their next move. The agenda? More than to destroy the happiness in the world, more than to destroy the health of children, more than to spoil the innocent -- their goal is nothing less than the complete and ttal destruction of EXISTENCE ITSELF... and believe me, they will not rest until their goal is met."

-- Ronald E. Carthright, former senior advisor to John F Kennedy and Ronald Reagan

Re:Osama makes more sense than either Bush OR Kerr

[rmohr02]

Just read what the man said. He makes sense. I trust him more than Bush or Kerry.

Regardless of your opinion on the matter, I don't think I'll be writing in bin Laden come Tuesday.

Osama bin Laden delivered a new videotaped message...

And no one stopped him? Amazing, most be one sleepy clerk at the desk:

Osama walks in and hands the clerk a video.
Osama: A bit of news, my dear fellow.
Clerk: Thank you Mr. Laden, if you will just sign here.

Later the boss pops by:
Boss: What's up ?
Clerk: Not much, oh wait, a delivery of a video tape.
Boss: Okay, who's it from.
Clerk: It's is from ... DOH!

I bet ...

[Anonymous Coward]

The total length of the tape received by the U.S. government is 18 minutes. Bin Laden spoke for 14 minutes and 39 seconds. U.S. officials would not comment on what else is on the tape.

I bet the rest of the tape was:

• The pwnage theme song
  
• Footage of Osama reading "my pet terrorist" to some kids
  
• Wild party and Osama performing his famous "the robot"
  
• All your base is belong to us
  
• Goatse
  
• Osama doing the goatse
  

Note to self; Dont attempt humour at 6 o'clock in the morning without sleep.

Re:This is what Bush needed

In Afghanistan we had local forces deal with the civilian population, and had/have a comperable number of troops hunting for Osama. The real reason they haven't found him yet is because he's in Pakistan, and U.S. troops can't currently go in there much (for various reasons).

Like those missin' diplomatic and mil'tary relations with the only Islamic nucular power (other than Iran, soon if not already)? Yee-Haw! Throw another Texan into the U.N. and you just see if things don't get better lickety-split. Just 'cuz they hauled ass along with all their predator drones two years and eleven months ago today, allowing bin Laden to cross the border on donkey, heck!

Cheney's energy task force mapped the world's oil supplies. (As well it should.)

Hell, yeah, but if they can't get the price of unleaded under $0.99 for the forseeable future, they ain't got my vote! Damnit maybe if they came up with them hydro-cars, then maybe I'd consider 'em, but Kerry's 'nam uniform gots ten times as many ribbons on it thas does Dubyas. His'n' Cheney's drunk driving convictions aside, that is.

Why not try for democracy?

Look, I already said I was votin' for Kerry, what more 'ya want?
