BS Propaganda Alert: New bin Laden tape due out soon
Do you ever get the feeling that the "media wing" of al-Qaida is the same as the "media wing" of the White House? :shrug:



from AP, via HuffPost:




New Bin Laden Message To Be Issued Soon: Report
May 18, 2008 09:10 AM EST |

CAIRO, Egypt — The media wing of al-Qaida says Osama bin Laden soon will issue a new message addressed to the Islamic world.

Al-Sahab posted a banner Sunday on a militant Web site known for carrying the terror network's messages. It said a "powerful speech to the Islamic nation," will be issued soon.

The announcement comes after a message from Bin Laden on Friday marking the 60th anniversary of Israel's foundation in which he vowed to continue his struggle against the Jewish state.

Messages typically appear within 72 hours of being announced.

9. I have known they were the smae thing since the Bushies hit us on 9/11
Edited on Sun May-18-08 11:00 AM by tom_paine
If I ha any doubts, the 2004 October Surprise videotapes, both the Bush-Bin Laden Campiagn Video and the "American al-Qaeda" videos were Bush Family Productions that eliminated any trace of doiubt I might have had.

Wouldn't surprise me if they make those things in the basement of the Bush Buidling at Langley, or perhaps the Phony Ranch at Crawford.

12. In his last tape, he looked incredible for a really old man on dialysis....

13. Osama died in 2002, according to Benazir Bhutto
But then Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, and he's still releasing "new" albums all the time.

15. Lets see..... Gay Marriage, Bin Ladin, whats next? Attack on Christianity?
Looks like they are relying on the old playbook. Obviously they wish to energize the fundamentalist xtian base in support for McCain.

16. This was reported one day last week on The Today Show. The weird thing
Edited on Sun May-18-08 12:36 PM by OmmmSweetOmmm
about it is that it was reported that his message morphed from the US leaving Arab lands (Saudi Arabia) and now is about the Palestinians....Perhaps the message morphed because that's where the Shrub administration wants to focus on now? Using their very own Emmanuel Goldstein is quite convenient,isn't it?
