Breaking news: Osama hates the yahouds

Israel celebrates its 60th birthday this year, and dignitaries from all over the world have sent congratulatory messages. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saluted them for managing not to get crushed yet under Allah’s thumb, but warns that it’s coming, Jews! Osama bin Laden takes the more direct approach. Rather than just allude to Israel’s demise by calling it a “stinking corpse”, the terrorist vows to create a lot of stinking corpses instead:
Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden — in a blunt new message that coincides with Israel’s 60th anniversary — urged his followers to liberate Palestine, a terrorism analyst told CNN on Friday.
In a message entitled “The Causes of Conflict on the 60th Anniversary of the State of Israeli Occupation,” bin Laden reiterated jihadist opposition to the existence of the Jewish state and its policies.
Bin Laden’s audio message, released Thursday, told listeners that “liberating” Palestine should be the aim of every Muslim, according to terrorism analyst Laura Mansfield.
How dull have Osama’s rants become? Hardly any news agency reports on them anymore. A scan of the most prominent American newspapers show scant interest in the bin Laden missive, leaving it to the wire services for coverage. Osama has become a broken record.
However, it does give an opportunity to reflect on how similar the messages from Ahmadinejad and Osama sound. People wonder whether radical Sunni and Shi’ite Islamists can ever find common ground, and the answer is easy: Tel Aviv. They will not rest until they can create enough force to attack Israel and drive the Jews into the Mediterranean. Whatever other sectarian feuds exist can wait until they achieve that singular goal, and they will have no problems working together to that end.
Why talk to either one under those circumstances? Unless we’re willing to do to Israel what Neville Chamberlain did to Czechoslovakia, we have nothing to say that interests them.
Update: Holy cow. I screwed up the headline — my sincere, embarrassed apologies to Senator Barack Obama.

Obama?
oakpack on May 16, 2008 at 8:35 AM
Obama?
“Talk to the hand”
rockhauler on May 16, 2008 at 8:36 AM
Who do you think you are - Ted Kennedy. I think the headline should read “Osama” instead of “Obama.”
kozmocostello on May 16, 2008 at 8:38 AM
Uhm…. I think there’s a typo there in the subject line, Ed
ToddonCapeCod on May 16, 2008 at 8:39 AM
D’oh!
DakRoland on May 16, 2008 at 8:42 AM
Best. Headline. Ever.
Aristotle on May 16, 2008 at 8:45 AM
Freudian slip ??
You got it right.
redrock on May 16, 2008 at 8:46 AM
Does the typo make a difference…?
Darksean on May 16, 2008 at 8:46 AM
“Obama”???
Ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! So true.
On Topic - I’m sure Israel is just heartbroken that Osama hates them….

Spose Huffpo will link this? Huffpo headline - Look at the haters.

US-Saudi oil axis faces day of truth
When President George Bush went to see Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah in January to plead for higher oil output, he was politely rebuffed.
The rematch today is likely to be a great deal more strained.
If the Saudis deny help once again, they risk incalculable damage to their strategic alliance with Washington. The price of crude has rocketed by over $30 a barrel since that last fruitless meeting, briefly touching the once unthinkable level of $127.
[...]
The Saudis have let their output fall from 9.5m to 8.5m bpd over the last two years, camouflaging the move behind the accession of Ecuador and Angola to the group (which boosted nominal supply). OPEC failed to compensate for a 330,000 bpd drop in Nigerian production in April, allowing the market to tighten further.

“Obama” LOL
Is this related to McCain’s “outreach” to liberal blogs?
maverick muse on May 16, 2008 at 8:51 AM
Oh, Ed, you’re not going to live this one down for a long time!
Meanwhile, having only had one sip of coffee, I’m reading through the whole thing waiting for the Obama part…Hmm, that’s strange…tick tick…ohhhh.
MamaAJ on May 16, 2008 at 8:56 AM
Ed, you’ll be hearing from the Obama campaign in 5..4..3..
Nichevo on May 16, 2008 at 8:56 AM
And I should. What a F**k-up. I am TOTALLY embarrassed.
Ed Morrissey on May 16, 2008 at 8:59 AM
Folks, it’s not a typo, it’s intentional… make the connection…
Red Pill on May 16, 2008 at 9:02 AM
Ok, I was wrong…
Ed, I liked it better the way you originally wrote it…
Red Pill on May 16, 2008 at 9:02 AM
Ed, you are now qualified to run for Senate in Massachusetts.
Sorry, that was low.
fluffy on May 16, 2008 at 9:03 AM
At least he got the right countries in the next post. U.S. and Israel would have been really embarrassing. Mornin Ed.
oakpack on May 16, 2008 at 9:03 AM
It was NOT intentional, Red Pill. That’s not what I’m about. I had a Ted Kennedy moment, that’s all.
Ed Morrissey on May 16, 2008 at 9:03 AM
I laughed my as_ off when I read the headline.
No worries - we all do it.
Damn - I’m still laughing…
jake-the-goose on May 16, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Fluffy, yeah — but accurate!
Ed Morrissey on May 16, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Admit it, Ed. You just wanted to get the frothy left all juiced up on Memeorandom. ;)
Hoodlumman on May 16, 2008 at 9:06 AM
The Yahoo Homepage Feed still shows the original headline, I did a double take when I clicked over to here, but, hey it happens.
CBarker on May 16, 2008 at 9:10 AM
Ed, we demand you make ammends! Now go forth and find a humpbot or some such other Friday idiocy for your loyal readers! Get on it man, time’s-a-wastin’.
robblefarian on May 16, 2008 at 9:14 AM
We’ve all had Ted Kennedy moments, most of mine were back when booze was cheap.
Maxx on May 16, 2008 at 9:15 AM
Dang, missed the original headline.
Still, there is the question of why many American jews will support The Obamassiah when he seems more sympathetic to the Palestinian position to the detriment of Israel.
rbj on May 16, 2008 at 9:16 AM
That’s OK
Sigmund, I mean Ed.TheSitRep on May 16, 2008 at 9:26 AM
Barak Hussein al tikriti Obama
TheSitRep on May 16, 2008 at 9:27 AM
What’s this, taking personal responsibility stuff?
Now we know how those kids of yours are doing so well in life.
Limerick on May 16, 2008 at 9:31 AM
LOL. Well, I read it as Osama originally…didn’t even catch it till I read the comments. The brain is a strange thing.
funky chicken on May 16, 2008 at 9:34 AM
Silly Captain, Obama doesn’t hate the Jews, He just doesn’t need them.
BohicaTwentyTwo on May 16, 2008 at 9:40 AM
Ed, could you please change the headline back to “Obama” just for a minute. I want to copy it for my scrap book.
I wonder how many people read this story before the correction and never noticed the error. I’m not sure I would have noticed. The two names sort of blend together
Syd B. on May 16, 2008 at 9:48 AM
I actually transposed them in my own head. The headline reads Osama, but I saw “Obama”. And it didn’t change the timbre of the headline (unfortunately).
stivv on May 16, 2008 at 10:10 AM
Update: Holy cow.
…I’m kidding…
Red Pill on May 16, 2008 at 10:31 AM
You forgot “Jr.“
Red Pill on May 16, 2008 at 10:32 AM
Bravo!
Red Pill on May 16, 2008 at 10:32 AM
Technology is amazing. Even dead people can make audio tapes and post them on web sites.
Clark1 on May 16, 2008 at 10:38 AM
Bin Laden again?
What is this, voices from the crypt?
This sucker has been dead for years and years. I know, I know I forgot, we never get to see him on video because his camcorder batteries are dead.
patrick neid on May 16, 2008 at 11:15 AM
HA HA. Sorry I missed that.
baldilocks on May 16, 2008 at 11:48 AM
I was sure never to make that mistake, and a few days ago I did…it will happen at the most inopportune moment btw. now and Nov…a big blunder waiting to happen.
Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 1:13 PM
5 years ago, we were talking about Osama all the time, and it was easy to accidentally say or type Osama when talking about Obama (just ask Ted Kennedy).
Now, we are talking about Obama all the time, and it is easy to accidentally say or type Obama when talking about Osama.
Anybody who tries to make a big deal out of this is an idiot.
DaveS on May 16, 2008 at 1:30 PM
Damn…I missed it. Whazamatta Ed? One cup o coffee short of being on time this morning.
man I love this place.
RFA on May 16, 2008 at 8:17 PM
I don’t think that was actually Osama. I think they just held auditions for Osama impersonators at that pro-Palestinian rally that they had in SF.
Then they just picked the best one and phoned it in.
