The saga of the hippie son of the world’s most notorious terrorist continues. Omar bin Laden appeared on the Today show this morning alongside his wife. What do they want? Talk. When do they want it? Eh, soon. It sounds like Mrs. bin Laden would like to see her father-in-law running for the US Congress.

Talk is cheap. Just ask the Dutch.

Middle ground??? What’s THAT mean? We convert and you stop getting bombed?

Tony737 on January 22, 2008 at 9:35 AM

Waterboard him. And while you’re at it, maybe a shampoo is in order. Then do the scag sitting next to him.

pistolero on January 22, 2008 at 9:39 AM

Gerry Adams? Is this chick retarded? The IRA never hijacked airplanes and blew up any major skyscrapers killing thousands of people! Do they really think bin Laden and Bush are gonna sit down and “talk”??? What a moron. What are they gonna talk about? That would put bin Laden in some position of power, but he’s not a president or prime minister, you idiot, he’s a phuqing TERRORIST! How do you communicate with somebody who won’t even accept this fact?

Tony737 on January 22, 2008 at 9:41 AM

How many British media outlets do you think are trying to get the Bin Ladens their own reality television show?

gabriel sutherland on January 22, 2008 at 9:41 AM

… the scag sitting next to him. - Pistol

Maybe the burqa’s not such a bad idea after all?

Tony737 on January 22, 2008 at 9:43 AM

he looks like a rockstar

offroadaz on January 22, 2008 at 9:44 AM

Already the left in this country is lining up to get this guy’s face printed on t-shirts. If ever there was proof that this culture has deteriorated to the point where it doesn’t matter what you actually say, only what the headline is, this is it. BIN LADEN SON WANTS PEACE (by having everyone “compromise” with his terrorist father).

NeoconNews.com on January 22, 2008 at 9:44 AM

The guy barely speaks English and nitwit Lauer’s talking in circles and blaming his guest and the satellite feed for a “somewhat stilted” interview! If anyone’s stilted it Lauer, that windbag!!!!

Dread Pirate Roberts VI on January 22, 2008 at 9:44 AM

How many liberals did that just touch?

Pam on January 22, 2008 at 9:46 AM

Then do the scag sitting next to him.

Nice pistolero! And you might be in the company of what raving beauty? Jerk!

Dread Pirate Roberts VI on January 22, 2008 at 9:46 AM

Please. What a waste of time, and that low class Brit skank fit the perfect stereotype of such.

Jaibones on January 22, 2008 at 9:46 AM

DPR, I think the comment does not address her relative attractiveness, but her demeanor.

Jaibones on January 22, 2008 at 9:47 AM

It’s obvious he knows where his Dad is, or at least knows how to find him.

Time to “rendition” him to Egypt for a little chat.

lodestonejames on January 22, 2008 at 9:48 AM

Yes, why should innocent people, like the crew of the USS Cole have been killed?

Pam on January 22, 2008 at 9:51 AM

Lauer is such an idiot. Always.

Osama’s baby boy comes off as very disingenuous. If he happened to be sincere, would he not be considered an apostate?

mimi1220 on January 22, 2008 at 9:52 AM

Typical Islamic moderate: would never criticize another Muslim. I wonder if he is tolerant of people building bombs in his basement. No doubt just out of a desire to get Bush to talk to them.

snaggletoothie on January 22, 2008 at 9:53 AM

Jerk!

Dread Pirate Roberts VI on January 22, 2008 at 9:46 AM

Coming from you I consider that a complement.

pistolero on January 22, 2008 at 10:03 AM

I thought the guys from Milli Vanilli were dead.

ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,baby, don’t forget my number…

cat-scratch on January 22, 2008 at 10:12 AM

If this guy was sincere, then he would have been dead by now.

Nolamom67 on January 22, 2008 at 10:17 AM

John Lennon and Yoko wannabe…

right2bright on January 22, 2008 at 10:18 AM

‘Scag’? She doesn’t look half bad. I guess the leather jackets help.

..Interestingly though, she seems to do more of the talking than he does. Hmm.

Contrary to what others are saying, I didn’t think Lauer did too bad a job. Chucking that ‘what difference would talking to him make’ question out at them was rather satisfying. And hey, NBC did have ‘my father, the TERRORIST’ up there for a while. As opposed to, you know, ‘freedom fighter’.

Really though, considering how large the Bin Laden family is, why does anyone care about this? Regardless of family ties, the whole thing is just.. not very interesting.

Wow. Another ‘peace activist’.

Geez I’m rambling. Bed time.

Reaps on January 22, 2008 at 10:27 AM

They’re creepy and they’re kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They’re all together ooky,
The Adams Bin Laden Family.

fogw on January 22, 2008 at 10:31 AM

Middle ground = In the ground.

ronsfi on January 22, 2008 at 10:34 AM

To paraphrase:

Peace doesn’t come from bombs…

Oh really?

Lan Astaslem on January 22, 2008 at 10:35 AM

It sounds like she is saying that OBL is our best chance for peace. I wonder, when she hangs her head out of the car window, does it make a whistling sound?

ronsfi on January 22, 2008 at 10:41 AM

Y’know Steven Segal is jockeying for this guys part when they make the movie.

Hey, if Stallones back…’the hell.

Alden Pyle on January 22, 2008 at 10:43 AM

I keep waiting for the headline that this guy is joining the Church of Scientology. C’mon, we all know that its going to happen.

Ars Moriendi on January 22, 2008 at 10:49 AM

He knows where OBL is.

He should be in custody as a terrorist suspect until he gives out the GPS.

The Stockholm Syndrome sycophant can go haunt a mosque.

profitsbeard on January 22, 2008 at 11:10 AM

kill his ass, too.

LtE126 on January 22, 2008 at 11:12 AM

Omar,Omar,Omar , Put a burka on your main squeeze.
Please. Then go away. . . .

Texyank on January 22, 2008 at 11:14 AM

Why is this guy news? Must be a slow news day.

countywolf on January 22, 2008 at 11:18 AM

I’m trying to figure if it’s good thing that our culture allows this pimp to walk around with air time. I’m sure Islam would take his counterpart and torture the life out of him just for revenge.

I guess I would like to see his butt in Gitmo or someplace off the street just because…….

A few days without leather and Yoko Bin Laden and he might turn over dad’s e-mail address?

Hening on January 22, 2008 at 11:39 AM

sounds like a job for Jack Bauer…grab the kid and make daddy show his face, OR ELSE.
But I doubt daddy, Osama Bin Hidin, even cares about the kid.

shooter on January 22, 2008 at 11:44 AM

Wow, he is pretty liberal, He didn’t give his MILF the beat down when she so rudely opened her piehole. lol

TheSitRep on January 22, 2008 at 11:46 AM

That was just creepy.

Now, where did I put the wooden stakes and silver bullets?

Lawrence on January 22, 2008 at 11:53 AM

No one asked him “which one is your mother?”

right2bright on January 22, 2008 at 12:10 PM

Feh. Why are people even giving this couple a minute of time?

Bob's Kid on January 22, 2008 at 12:27 PM

How many liberals did that just touch?

Pam on January 22, 2008 at 9:46 AM

Dead On! Peace activist will run with this like a ball bearing racing from an exploding bomb vest at the moment of detonation. The hippy-dippy touchy-feely appeal of “lets talk over tea” is just too good to pass up.

This is hip to be terrorist mumbo jumbo with Lauer as the projectile vomiting mouthpiece.

Kini on January 22, 2008 at 12:53 PM

and anyone who aids a terrorist is a __________.
Put the cuffs on him Danno. Take him for a little ride.

I wonder if Bin Clueless would sit down with a pint and share a sausage pizza?

Not bloody likely.

Kini on January 22, 2008 at 1:13 PM

They’ll kill them both because his wife was not sufficiently submissive. Also no hijab. An honor killing is in order.

Agrippa2k on January 22, 2008 at 1:14 PM

That and the shepherd pie of a wife.

Kini on January 22, 2008 at 1:16 PM

“It sounds like Mrs. bin Laden would like to see her father-in-law running for the US Congress”

Gee, I wonder which party?

RobCon on January 22, 2008 at 1:29 PM

They look like a rock and roll version of
“The Adams Family”. Hey Omar, get your old lady under control. Where is a burka when you need one?
You look like a goth check Zany.

RobCon on January 22, 2008 at 1:34 PM

A few days without leather and Yoko Bin Laden and he might turn over dad’s e-mail address?

Hening on January 22, 2008 at 11:39 AM

That deserves a LOL, ‘cuz I did.

RightOFLeft on January 22, 2008 at 1:42 PM

Wikpedia has a bio of Omar who organized the World Congress of Muslim Youth in the US. According to Wikpedia, he fell out with his father only after 911 which Omar considered a strategic error.

His ‘middle-eastern’ third wife wife Zaina is Jane Felix-Browne, a parish councillor from the UK. I figured she was Euro by the way she dominated the conversation with polemics. It must be a great coup for her to be involved in third world struggle and get on tv too. She got in one for the IRA too.

So very Jane Fonda

The fact that this female still has her head and is still married to the son tells me the AQ do not mind their game. Deception is the highest form of warfare and having a willing idiot is even better

Lauer was OK on this. He had to fawn to get them going. I liked the way Fonda Zaina Jane jumped in to shut up Omar everytime he took Lauer’s bait. Get Omar without Jania and he could really spew

entagor on January 22, 2008 at 1:43 PM

Feed this vermin to pigs.

mcgilvra on January 22, 2008 at 2:02 PM

Why is this side-show talking to this dope and not in CIA custody? This could have been done secretly. Could have but for roadblocks put up by those fighting the US in the war on terror. Yes, the Cowardcrats.

oakpack on January 22, 2008 at 3:08 PM

I thought this was one of the guys from N’Sync. ;-)

cannonball on January 22, 2008 at 3:47 PM

This is just hookah liberalism with a British coven chic for added comedic relief.
Mr. Bin Laden doesn’t dare dis Islam or his father too much for fear of getting his head sawed off.

Mrs. Bin Laden tries to equate the peace accords that did away with British oppression of Northern Ireland with talking away the violent religious ideology of Al Qaeda.

Nawt bloody loikly!

Speakup on January 22, 2008 at 3:51 PM

The only middle ground should be the dirt between OBL and the the earths surface. As for the brit skank, she ought to shut her piehole.

Viper1 on January 22, 2008 at 4:11 PM

“Why should civilian die”? Please remind me who the people are that strap on the bombs and walk in to crowds of “civilians”. To refine another post, middle ground = six feet underground.

Les in NC on January 22, 2008 at 4:20 PM

“Peace doesn’t come with bombs, peace doesn’t come with fighting.”

Fat Man & Little Boy beg to differ, ‘Zana’.

Damn, there’s never a ball-gag around when you need one.

Btw Zana, don’t forget to wear your beret next time to get the full I’m-a-revolutionary effect, “man”. Viva Che’.

Moron.

Gerry Adams was… LOL.

He needs to learn K.I.S.S. (Keep is simple stupid)

I liked the way Fonda Zaina Jane jumped in to shut up Omar everytime he took Lauer’s bait. Get Omar without Jania and he could really spew

entagor on January 22, 2008 at 1:43 PM

And ask a question Like, “What do you think will bring about peace?”

BL: “Convert.”

- The Cat

P.S. “You might get something a hell of a lot worse” was a threat. She caught herself and covered with “That’s what we are afraid of” She repeated it four times. Talk to a profiler and they’ll tell you when someone behaves like she did, 99.98% of the time, they’re lying.

MirCat on January 22, 2008 at 4:31 PM

“Hey, I killed 3,000 of your civilians - but I think we need to talk.”

Are you kidding?

Someone tell Treason Spice that war actually made peace, for about two worldwide reasons just off the top of my head.

No peace through compromise.

emailnuevo on January 22, 2008 at 6:04 PM

Holy carp - Dave Navarro’s dad is Osama.

What must have OBL thought of him shacking up with Carmen Electra…

First, Cat-Scratch because of you I had to clean the lunch that was in my mouth off of my screen and keyboard!!!! I just hope nothing got down into the hard drive….THAT is a priceless comment!!!

Second, waterboard Millie and Elvira to get OBL’s place ‘o residence, lather them both up with bacon grease and glue a few hamhocks to their rumps then strap them both to a couple of JADMs and send them back to Daddy. Three for the price of two………

Bubba Redneck on January 22, 2008 at 7:09 PM

She was felled by the mono-browed mullet head.

obl had what?, 20 children,

this one is no doubt the dumbest.

Sonosam on January 22, 2008 at 11:07 PM

If there was ever a living definition the term “Euro-Trash”, this woman is it.

Prehaps she could have the same affect that Yoko Ono had on the Beetles: AQ would break up and all the terorist would start solo careers in various unstable regions of the world.

BTW, after “Dad” sees this video, I’m sure he will be sending the happy couple a Burka equipped with a Remote controlled mute switch as a wedding gift

How much more Goth can you get.

A whacked terrorist trying to convince us he’s a good person.

While the aging Vampire just wants to suck the life and money out the young to stay young and aptly name InZania.

They do resemble the Lennon and Ono and we know that Ono broke up the Beatles, maybe she’s trying to the right thing and break up Jihad. Not.
