Even FoxNews is merely speculating it may be old. Not only is it old, but it’s actually been broadcast before. And blogreaders already knew that. They’re just not terribly good at their jobs, you know?……

New Bin Laden tape out recently. Or is it? HotAir pegs it as footage from 2002. NRO’s Michael Ledeen:It seems to be from a video shot in 2001 or 2002. If that is correct, then I would draw two conclusions:……

Blogger Ali Eteraz (who GP says has given Islamic sermons in the past) suggests that Osama bin-Laden’s recent 37 second clip video appearance praising martyrdom, followed by what amounts to little more than a collage/montage of Al-Qaeda activity, was …

Since it’s pretty clear that the new bin Laden message is just a clip from a message that apparently was filmed in 2001 and aired in May of 2002, many people are concluding that the PoS is dead. It makes…

A message to the World Wide Jihad from deep inside the compost…….

…

Now, the purpose of the entire video clearly seems to be singing the praises of martyrdom. Is Al Qaeda getting a bit desperate, that they feel the need to gin up this glorification of death?…

Osama Bin Laden recently emerged in a new video from Al-Qaeda in a 37 second clip, praising martyrdom. The rest of the forty minutes of the video was some kind of collage/montage of Al-Qaeda activity.
As quickly uncovered, the images of Osama are from …

Honestly AQ would have to be pretty stupid to attack the US before the November 2008 elections. That would completely derail the DEMs plans for surrender as soon as they get in office.

It worked in Spain, and no doubt Harry and Nancy would make a beeline for the nearest mike within minutes of an attack, to tell voters how this “tragedy” wouldn’t have happened if we had left Iraq.

Everything, even death and destruction, is just a political opportunity to these people.

This weekend we have heard tons of stories about claims of Al Queda being stronger then ever. What has started to puzzle me is nobody is defining stronger. With all of the reports coming out of Afghanistan were the Taliban is getting their ass handed to them what do they mean by stronger? Are the stronger in manpower, organizational ability, equipment? Just what makes them stronger? Other then gullible press folks that is.

What they mean by stronger is: not only is UBL and all his butt buds alive but they can each bench press 500 lbs thanks to the new tribal-owned and operated chain of Gold’s Gyms (courtesy of the gazillions of dollars in U.S. aid to Pakistan). Memberships are up 300% since they began giving away copies of the “Sports Illustrated 72 Virgins” calendar.

Then the story went away.

Fast forward to today. After reconsidering the facts (OBL effectively dropped off the map, all confirmably new material from Zarqawi (rot his soul) and Zawahiri, the fact that NO leader in the Arab world survives for long without thumping his chest but no “new” Bin Laden stuff…) and now this…

I think I was right the first time around. The Old Man of the Mountain has been dead for years and no one is willing to stick their necks out and say it. Huh, maybe my first instincts can be decent from time to time.
