Bin Laden to Issue Tribute to Al-Zarqawi - AP

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Osama bin Laden will issue a videotaped message paying tribute to slain al-Qaida in Iraq chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a message posted on an Islamic militant Web site said Wednesday.

The message did not say when the video would be posted or whether bin Laden himself would appear in it. The al-Qaida leader has issued three audiotapes this year but has not appeared in a video since one issued on Oct. 29, 2004.

[Lerkfish]

1. ah, right on time.

these things are amazingly well-timed.

[jobycom]

24. What did I miss? Why is this good timing?

[Lerkfish]

36. because tomorrow there's a full court attack against the media

on the house and senate floor, that they are committing treason for revealing the illegal activities of the bush administration.
Watch for the rhetoric tomorrow to touch on the CONTINUED threat of Bin ladin and how the press is allowing him to run free by hampering national security.

[Dr.Phool]

25. Will Osama interview John Kerry and Michael Moore?

This thing was probably produced in the White House basement. Probably an undercover report by Jeff Gannon.

[maryallen]

46. Wonder if it'll be the fat Osama or the skinny Osama?

The one with the big nose or the one with the thin, pointed nose ...?

Bullshit alert!

Coming tomorrow to a television screen in your home ...

[Avalux]

2. So he's announcing the release?

Will there be a red-carpet opening with his fans in attendance, like George and Dick?

[katty]

4. Maybe E! will cover it!

[frylock]

20. perhaps a premier?!

Oh, I so love these gala events!

[Rockholm]

32. Premiers really are alot of fun.

Maybe some kleig lights, fireworks. Star Jones can be on the red carpet.

[katty]

3. o, here we go.- again..Faux and CNN start yr engines!!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

5. ooh...breaking in time for the 6:00 news.

:eyes:

[VolcanoJen]

6. Precisely.

Why isn't he dead yet?

Bush? Rumsfeld? Cheney? Anyone...? Why is Bin Laden alive?

[Avalux]

9. Because they're partners in crime -

Osama has enabled Bushco to accomplish a great deal since 9/11. Why would they want to get rid of such a wonderful asset?

[KansDem]

33. It would be a lot like killing the goose that lays the golden egg...

Besides the Bush Family and the Bin Laden Family are old business partners going back decades...

To say the George is going to kill Osama is a lot like saying that Tom is going to kill Huckleberry (or is it "Huckleberry is going to kill Tom?")

[bdamomma]

50. Osama is on the bush payroll

[Jawja]

51. Of course.

And I believed this beyond a shadow of a doubt since he appeared the Friday before the 2004 election to scare us against voting for Kerry.

Funny thing, though, * got "re-elected" and the streets are not running with blood. :shrug:

[ncrainbowgrrl]

10. Bueller? Bueller?

I guess not...

[JuniperLea]

7. How nice they know their queues so well

You don't have to be a mind-reader to know their game... or their script either.

Anyone want to guess the content?


:)

[maxsolomon]

52. in this case, 'cues'

queues are lines in france. you spelled it right, though, which is impressive.

love, the grammar nazi.

[nashville_brook]

8. so like, al-Qaida now has publicists pre-promoting their

messages.

i'm not buying it.

[Lerkfish]

12. amazingly, bin ladin attending that meeting where they decided to inflate

zarqawi's importance.
Bin ladin is such a good soldier for the CIA.

[AndyA]

11. So predictable...look for the real story to be buried under all the news

about OBL...possibly a Friday news dump?

[Nia Zuri]

13. He's just putting the finishing touches on it...final edits

before release

[Avalux]

14. Private screening first for Bushco -

Rove had to sanction it.

[NV Whino]

21. yeah, watch for a FedEx leaving

Industrial Light and Magic.

Welcome to DU.
:hi:

[sabra]

15. ABC says its an audio tape...

http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/06/new_bin_laden_a.html

New Bin Laden Audio Tape: Osama Speaks on the Death of Zarqawi

A new Osama bin Laden audio is expected to be released within three days. On the tape, bin Laden will talk about the death of Abu Musab Zarqawi. More details to come.

The audio is about 5 minutes in length. This is the fourth time we have heard an audio message from bin Laden this year. The last time we heard from him was following the sentencing of Zacarias Moussaoui for the 9/11 attacks. Bin Laden claimed that he had not assigned Moussaoui to be a part of the attacks.

[VolcanoJen]

23. Hmmmm.

AP still saying "videotaped."

Interesting take from ABC. I wonder if something is being lost in translation by one of the news agencies?

[orwell]

16. I guess the check...

...from Langley cleared...

[Pastiche423]

17. A dead man taping a message

about the death of a man he did not like?

[bluestateguy]

18. I. DON'T. CARE.

NT

[Hell Hath No Fury]

19. Okay, who has that article....

on the recording technology the Govt. has that can perfectly reproduce a voice????

Nothing but audio tapes from "Osama"....never any video...gets one thinking....

[Frank Cannon]

41. Guess OBL can't afford a simple video camera

You know, the kind that you can get new at Target for a couple hundred shmays. Or on e-Bay for thirty bucks, if you don't mind VHS.

It's amazing, the heights of suspension of disbelief this administration expects us to reach.

[OnyxCollie]

44. Here it is.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/dotmil/arkin020199.htm

This tape is pure bushco propaganda.

Will it sound like english transcribed into arabic, minus all the flowery language, like the last bin Laden tape?

"Oh that? That's because he was living with the Pashtun, you see, and they speak differently, and uh... Look-it the shiny keys! Look! Look!"

Bullshit. And the media will just say, "Oh. Yeah."

No questions. Everything taken at face value. And these people are reporters?

Just like al Zarqawi. He's intact although his safe house is reduced to gravel.

"Oh that? That's because he was outside his safe house, you see, and he was killed by the pressure, and uh... (fumbling through pockets) Look-it the shiny keys! Look! Look!"

I can imagine Rove, Rummy, Cheney and Monkey sitting around, coming up with the story:

"Let's say he wasn't killed immediately."

"Yeah! Yeah! That he lived for, um, 52 minutes. That sounds good."

"Make it so he tried to roll off the stretcher. Terrorist piece of shit, trying to crawl away and hide. The freepers will eat that up!"

"Oh! Oh! He mumbles something! Quick! What should he say?

"CUTANDRUNDEMOCRATSWANTOBURNFLAGSATILLEGALIMMIGRANTGAYMARRIAGES!!! How's that, Mr. Cheney?" (panting)

"Don't make me get the gun, George..."

[Hell Hath No Fury]

55. "This tape is pure bushco propaganda."

Ain't that the truth!

Thanks for the link! :hi:

[liberalmuse]

22. I see the favorite Bush tool has been whipped out again.

Rove-Goebbels is in full schwing. It was nice having a break while he was under investigation. Now it's farking Mordor again.

[CoffeeCat]

26. I can't wait to hear Osammy...

...which will undoubtedly---be Osama spewing Democratic talking points. He'll probably say, "The Americans are cowards. They will probably 'cut and run' from Iraq. Then I will have won!! MUahahahahaha!"

Then Osama will extol the virtues of John Murtha and express his agreement with every Democratic Congressperson who is running for election in 06, "Oh, you know how I love the Democrats. A vote for them, is a vote for me! I don't like the Republicans. They are too patriotic and stoic. If the Republicans win in November, I will be too frightened to attack America...please vote for Democrats this November. Please...in the name of Allah, vote for Democrats, so I can attack America."

Watch. It will be something to that effect.

He'll also threaten us--big time.

We're gearing up for a big election folks....they've got to trod out the boogey man and whip up the terror Richter scale to about a 7.5.

[pinniped]

28. This still doesn't mean al-Zarqawi was real.

They just keep piling more shit on top of the other.

[AngryAmish]

29. Amzing how the CIA has kept the robot working...

[TheWatcher]

30. Will it be available at Blockbuster soon?

[Kukesa]

42. Can I order it from NetFlix? nt

[Vidar]

31. Rove in a turban.

[Canuckistanian]

Abi, we hardly knew ye....

That coy smile you used to flash as you wired the IEDs. The twinkle in your eye when you denounced the infidels. And the way you used to tease the young jihadists just before a bombing raid.

We'll miss you, you old bastard.

It is requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to our great benefactor.

The cheques can be made out to James Baker III...

[shireen]

34. Is Keith doing another Puppet Theater? n/t

[Triana]

35. And this, folks is why...

...bu$hit "isn't worried about him" and why (supposedly - we never know what friggin LIES are coming out the snakepit in the White House) binLiner has never been caught. He's too much a useful tool for the bu$hit crime ring.

[leesa]

37. Now they are announcing OBL films before the FBI is done making them?

What a crock of shit.

[tom_paine]

38. Sure does look like it. Their arrogance knows no bounds.

One thing I can guarantee you: "Osama" will make sure to speak and sound like a Progressive Democrat (which is, of course JUST next door to his right-wing fundamentalist Wahhabist beliefs :sarcasm: ).

The genuinely frightening thing is: They will get away with it, too.

Does this means the Busheviks and/or their pal Osama will be doing a series, with the big Michael Moore finish coming out on October 29, 2006 and 2008?

Very good chance it means just that.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

39. Will it be Skinny Osama or Fat Osama?

It's important. :rofl:

[yurbud]

40. when will people learn anything about al Qaeda or bin Laden is pure BS

[smirkymonkey]

43. More like Bin Monkey Boy, Bin Cheney and Bin Rove....

Fuckers. This game is really starting to make me physically ill. :puke:

[number6]

45. fake Osama will have a videotaped message paying tribute

to the fake death of the fake Zarqawi ......

[Marnieworld]

47. hmm no videos since 2004 huh?

Maybe because he died in the Pakistan earthquake in 2005 perhaps? Ever since then it's audio of him which could be anyone or saying anything. Are we supposed to trust the CIA? They'd never lie right? They also started trumping up the #2 guy after that as well. I don't know for certain but until I see some hard video of the guy I think he is so dead.

[bklyncowgirl]

48. Bin Laden, once again, comes to pull Bush's nuts out of the fire.

Whenever Shrub's in trouble he goes to the roof of the White House and sends up the "Osama Signal".

In a cave on the Afgan Pakistani border (or under Dick Cheney's ranch house in Wyoming take your pick) Osama Bin Laden turns off his dialisis machine and call on one of his wives to bring out the video camera.

This is a job for "Terror Man".

[annabanana]

49. yeah? how do THEY know?

sheesh..

[Kukesa]

53. Video praises al Zarqawi

Link here for MSNBC's version:

[Junkdrawer]

54. Yeah, but this 5th season lacks the snap and wit of the first season...

You know how it is, gets to be a formula, a 9-to-5 job. Pretty soon it's all about how fast you can get the next episode in the can.

I think it'll be canceled soon. But I see a bright future in syndication.
