It seems to me that al Qaeda's biggest weapon is their propaganda push. As Americans, we need to let the terrorists know that we are not afraid.

You mean Bush still hasn't caught Osama like he promised?!!!!

It is probably OBL giben his support to Hillary much like Castro..She is the terrorist #1 choice ..

Co-Incidence? The video is coming near 9/11 and that is the same time when Gen. Petreaus gives his White House cooked report on Iraq! Amazing how this government works!

Bin Laden's still free, are you?

WHAT WEBSITE IS THIS MESSAGE POSTED ON??? Why can't anyone in the public EVER find these messages themselves? Why does ABCNEWS always get advanced notice of these 'Al Qaeda' videos?

What do you mean the website is 'regularly used by Al Qaeda'? Computer experts can EASILY track down the internet traffic to/from any given website/IP address. The world is being deceived by an intelligence agency into believing these threats are 'Al Qaeda' when they most likely aren't. The US government would easily be able to track down who is posting this information if in fact it were genuine and not a propaganda ploy by the government itself.

Osama family's website expired on 9-11-01 - the same day of the US terrorist attacks.

This can also be
proved from various online articles (including Wired, discussion groups and research tools.

This is a little known bit in the media, but is very verifiable and is a
fascinating and rarely documented part of the 9/11 story. Moreover, over
the last several years, I have placed an email server which has
harvested megabytes worth of email intended for Binladin brothers,
corporate correspondences and even strange "Osama" fan letters.

well it looks like he's finally using Grecian Formula on that beard.

Osama, who, as Bush would say???
Oh, hell he's old news, and he's not in Iraq, so he isn't important. Don't confuse Bush, he still thinks Saddam attacked us on 9-11, and so do many other Republicans, who keep trying to tell everyone else that, but we didn't drinkt he kool-aid.

Hey,
This is a unanimous person not into political business, but I do have a question I pray won't offend anyone...
My question is...if we get intel on the Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden-videotapes, weeks or even a month before any attack could possibly even be "imminent", why don't we citizens, AND WITH government-official help, find a way for most of us here in America to be saved from any "oncoming terrorist attack" that could be imminent at any time with un-trusting terror groups like Al-Qaeda, and keep hundreds, if not more Americans from getting killed on our own soil?
This isn't a political OR "put-down" question. This was intended as a meant-as-helpful-question.
A fan of ABCNEWS

Osama is using 'Just For Men'? Now THAT is news. I wonder what all this means? Thanks, Brian Ross. Remember to keep us updated.

Just remember, the "war on terror" is just a bumper-sticker slogan.

Also, we have already lost the war on terror.

Anyone who votes democrat is a maroon! The next attack is coming, and your leftist propaganda is not going to help you! You lefties will probably beg for the assistance of your "right-wing" neighbors that are armed. Unless, of course, you live in DC, where the only people that can have guns are terrorists, criminals, and the police...

WAKE UP AMERICA! THE WAR HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!

Soon as President Bush leaves office we will capture Bin Laden his family money will not have a hold on the White House any longer. We can really put fourth a effort to capture this demon who is just a coward of a person not even a man just a dog no lower than a dog. We as US citizens will get this devil once and for all!!!!!!

There is of the oracles of Europe a prediction that 2 devices will fall on New York which the prognosticator indicating it was nuclear.
This would indicate a missile from either a cargo ship or a submarine. One can find the links to it on JR Nyquist's site.

bin Laden will only surface though to claim title for an event as that is what his ego driven appearances have in the past indicated. As I blogged on this over a year ago, one should watch for the tell tale golden dagger which he wore when he started this war. His wearing it again would indicate a grand climax as his manifesto relates that when America leaves Iraq then the WMD attacks against the west will start.

God keep the good in America from harm.

He's wearing the exact same outfit and is in front of the same background. The only thing that is different is his beard. I'm not convinced this really is a new video.

With God's permission Osama will be dead by 11, September

Maybe he'll be captured and then on the Superbowl halftime show in January, he'll be hung for the world to see. That would be a ratings bonanza! And THEN the Steelers would win the game...woo hooo...yee haaa!

We've already heard from this selfish arrogant quack. We already know how dispicable he is to his religion and like minded individuals. Please focus on the solution, not the stain to decency.

"Fellow neanderthals, I come to you from my humble cave. It has been a lonely journey, but for the company of my goats--thanks be to Allah... blah blah infidel... blah blah jihad... blah blah martyrs and virgins..."

And he dyed his full and manly beard? Vanity, thy name is bin Laden...

Notice: October Surprise 2004 Osama has a heart shape face, looks older and is right handed. New Osama, looks like 2002 version.

Well, we at least now know that wherever Osama is, he has access to Just For Men.

"the Sheikh, the Lion, Osama bin Laden."
Is Osama a professional wrestler now?

What's up with Bin Laden wearing a $11.95 Casio watch in that photo? Strange enough, it's the same watch I have, but I'm not rich. He's crazy.

Wonder what this psycho has to say now.

I hope neither you nor any other American media outlet rebroadcasts OBL's video. Just as a video taunt to the American people by Hilter, Mussolini, or Tojo would not have been rebroadcast by you during World War II, our news media should likewise refuse to give aid and comfort to our enemies now.

poppycock!

He's dead, Jim.

lol, so?

Gee, thanks ABC, we are shaking now.

Thank goodness we've got all those troops in....uh, Iraq.

The fact that they have promoted this new video should be a cry for concern. One might think it could be used as a diversion, positioning attention to the screens, and possibly letting our guard down during the showing...

I guess it's taken 3 years to find a guy that sorta looks like their dead lion.

Hey I'm first! If I found Osama-Ben , I'd tear off his head .

Osama...you continue to show the world what an evil deviant you are. The "God" you worship is obviously a "God" that breeds hate and evil in others. You're the MiddleEast version of Adolph Hitler. Anyone that would actually believe the preachings of your so called "God" would not be commiting such henious acts of mass murder and destruction. Your race has been battling for centuries with those who dont believe in or practice your same religous beliefs. It's YOUR way or not at all. You'll always be a threat to the world. Not just those of us in the USA but the entire world. Threats can and will be eliminated, better sooner than later. It's just a matter of time before you're found. The world is waitingly patiently to see your public execution televised around the world. The people who are idiotic enough to follow you deserve the same fate.

To say I hate Bin Laden doesnt do any justice. However, I cant blame him for this tape. He is just reminding the world that our wonderful commander-in-chief has failed to follow through on his Dead or Alive statement. It would be nice for OBL to be caught or killed. However, Im a little pissed that he is still on the loose.

"Soon, with the permission of God, a new visual tape, the Sheikh, the Lion, Osama bin Laden. May God protect him."

And that "brown" beard looks like a fairly poor photoshop job to me.

I'm more scared of our own admisnistration on a daily basis than I am of Bin Laden.....

RON PAUL 2008!!!!

Will someone please kick the Clinton lawyers out of the Pentagon so we can kill the bad guys without answering to the ACLU?

OK.You people aren't really buying this.Osama has had a makeover,just in time for Petraus' speech,for 9/11?How stupid do these criminals think we are?

He'll probably have lunch with Hillary and Nancy.

I wonder if he'll be doing a song and dance as well...

Hmmmm. A full black beard? Maybe this video was cooked up by the boys on the Beltway.

And this guy is still alive, how?

I wonder if he means he will atttack again. Maybe he is trying to trick us.
But with terrorists you never know. I wish all of this would stop, but it has to happen because the Bible foretold it. This should be a sign to everyone that these are the last days and you seriously need to get saved because all of this is real and Jesus is coming back one day. Im going to Heaven.What about you?

Awesome! This'll be bigger than Transformers!

That's right, America, keep your children afraid so that we won't protest your war crimes.

UBL is a dead nemesis perpetrated by the inept bankrupt and tyrannical U.S. Government. Haven't you seen Shrek? It's been 2,180 days since WMD said he'd catch UBL 'Dead or Alive!' LOL!

OBL FREE = HISTORICAL COLLOSSAL FAILURE.

I highly doubt this is him...why not? Well because there really hasn't been any videos now for over five years. Every since the battle of torabora no one ever saw him.

Videos can be prerecorded just like they have videos prerecorded by most major networks incase someone dies or incase of an emergency.

A war cannot end unless one of the parties realizes it has won...as of yet the USA hasn't done that...

with the permission of GOD? it is hard to believe that anyone could have a God that would tell them to be a terrorist. which is what bin laden is. what kind of God would want a a man to send a "friendly" little reminder of a murderous act they initiated? isn't that more like a devil thing than a God thing? i am grateful that the God i believe in tells me to love, not kill, people. i am also grateful that i live in a country where i am protected and not forced to believe as one man does, ie. binladen.

Maybe the old Queeen is now using "Just for Men"!!!

This is most likely another CIA hoax. The American people have had enough.

WAKE UP

why would he maintain his past appearance?

ans because: blah, blah, blah

Just live your lives...you can't stop the future

any idiot can create a video with past images pasted into current/future events

it will be too late before we realize we had a cahnce to stop this

enough is enough

Having a video released and actually beig able to watch it are 2 different things. What happened to the letter that he wrote to the American people immediately following 9 11? I never read it. Part of it was published, and only once. Not that I agree with the events of 9 11 because I don't, but I'd like to read my mail please.

He's back from the dead? Still awaiting the 9/11 commision's explanation of the collaspe of wtc 7.........

Pretty amazing that a dead guy is going to release a new video. Also- the beard has gone from grayish to black? Has he discovered Just For Men? Does he buy it at the C-store down the street from his cave? The booga-booga continues..

THIS is why I did what no one else ever tried--a CONSERVATIVE MUSIC CD

Blaming America First!

Someone has to say it in music!

This is a copy of my lecture notes for teh History of World Terrorism class I currently teach. This is by no means an expert assessment, but does consider both sides of the coin...

September 2007 Threat Assessment

1. Factors suggesting an attack is eminent
a. Arrests of al Qaeda suspects planning “spectacular” attacks
i. Denmark
ii. Germany
b. Odd financial activities
i. “Put options” betting on a market down turn by September 21, 2007
ii. These types of movements were made prior to September 11, 2001
c. Osama bin Laden video tape
i. First video of bin Laden since the autumn of 2004
ii. Concern has existed for years that since bin Laden videos are rare they may signify a “go sign” for an sleep cell attack
iii. If beard has been colored recently this could be a “hidden message”
d. Al Qaeda Promise
i. Al Qaeda has promised a “surprise” to mark the anniversary of the “invasion of Manhattan”
ii. In the past al Qaeda “surprises” were operations near completion/execution

2. Factors suggesting an attack is NOT eminent
a. Arrests of al Qaeda suspects planning “spectacular” attacks
i. Denmark
ii. Germany
iii. These guys could have been “wannabes”
iv. Attacks were not located within the United States
b. Odd financial activities
i. “Put options” betting on a market down turn by September 21, 2007
ii. These types of movements were made prior to September 11, 2001
iii. These types of financial movements may just be a sign of the uneasy financial times we are currently facing.
iv. If numerous small investors made a small “put options” looking for a big payoff it would add up to a very large sum of money
c. Osama bin Laden video tape
i. First video of bin Laden since the autumn of 2004
ii. Al Qadea always marks the 9/11 anniversary with a video or audio message
iii. Why attack when the video alone will produce publicity and fear?
iv. Video could be nothing more than a “rerun”
v. Beard could be colored black because the video is old; filmed before his beard went grey
d. Al Qaeda Promise
i. Al Qaeda has promised a “surprise” to mark the anniversary of the “invasion of Manhattan”
ii. “Surprise” could be the video message from Osama bin Laden

Nice dye job. Did you use that "Just for Men" product? Hah, I thought Osama was still roughing it in the desert. But noooooo, he just had to westernize himself with glitz and glamour.

Define Irony!

Meanwhile...the US is bogged down in Iraq for decades and decades...sending blood and money down an endless rat hole. "You're doin' a HECKUVA JOB, Bushie."

isn't this how the rock artists work? Do one video, get the ratings then come back in 5 to 6 years?

Q) How many Marines does it take to lower the flag? - A) They don't do that, Congress does...

dyed beard or old picture?
even though it is common practice for arab leaders to dye their beards to look younger there is no proof it is current or that he is even still alive

The MSM is so pathetic. They expect us to jump up and down every time they reguritate the vile filth the emanates from the "terrorist experts," the very same dorks that played the "failed to connect the dots" ruse post the 9/11 murders. If OBL did it, then why hasn't he been indicted? And further, why hasn't the sleeze of the MSM even reported that BLATANT fact!?

And in the end who really cares. One of these first days he will be dead--one way or another. If the media would mainly ignore this it would have no significance whatsoever

How many more years will these "new" bin laden tapes mysteriously pop up on or around the anniverisary date of Sept. 11?

I guess Bin Laden found the stash of Hair Dye in Saddam Hussein's arsenal!!

The War in Iraq, billions of dollars spent, thousands of lives wasted...and the US still hasn't gotten Bin Laden...helluva job, Bush!

We are waiting for" The Great One " to appear! Maybe he is going to do a Verizon commercial. "Can you here me now"

The guy is dead. Even his more recent videos could have been done before his death. I'm sure there is a video that he recorded before his death which he talks about the U.S. invasion of Iran. It doesn't take that much prescient insight to realize that we need to invade Iran sooner of later. Nor did it take clairvoyance for him to have made a video that we invaded Iraq prior to that invasion. The only thing that annoys me is that these islamic web sites are now referring to God instead of allah.

Terror alert elevated. Let's hope and prey we all keep safe from terrorist acts.

I can't wait until all the libs start jumping in here screaming about it being Bushs fault.

osomo bin laden is dead

Video of 9/11 he is full of devil who owns his soul. What a very hateful mean man, And when he dies, he will be in hell with the rest of his followers.
I hope they find him.

Osama bin but-head is a little caveman punk. Maybe he bring the fat boy Adam Gahdan along. We better build the gallows extra strong for fat-boy!

His head should be on a post at ground zero.

This is a total fake, not really him. The photo is a doctored photo.

My Goodness. The bearded wonder has surfaced again, just like the snake he is.

Not only has his beard color changed, probably thanks to "Just for Men" beard color, it also looks like it was trimmed and fumigated for lice.

My question is if this scumbag could attack us, why advertise it? Does it possibly have something to do with some "certain" insufficiency he has had to deal with.

My money's on America finding this piece of desert tent trash, (their equivilent to our trailer trash) and taking him out once and for all.

So live it up, Usama baby. We will find you. Bet on it.

I hope ABC News does something novel if Bin Laden does come out with a message, and that is,not air it! I am concerned that we would be playing into his hands, since previously it was thought that command words were hidden in his messages. What if he gave a party and no one came? Don't give him the time of day on the air. I wish that whatever he says would be kept secret by the government to deal with it,so as not to strike anymore fear into American hearts,nor give him what he wants,attention,or any more power over our actions, reactions. I know that this probably wouldn't be possible, but what if the whole country did it and didn't allow him a pulpit of any kind? Reports could say that a message was received but that the gov't. is handling it, denying him his audience. Just a thought.

B.I.N. L.A.D.E.N. = "Bad Individual's New Look Also Deceives Everyone Now"

And what makes you think that this is really him? Why would he darken his hair and beard?

Hm: Where are the flip comments from the Left-Wing bloggers? Where are all the "Karl Rove is Hitler" responses? What of the "War on Terror is a bumpersticker"?

Hm.

Duh, he is short on cash and like Gorbatjov he is doing an ad

It's an announcement about a new hair product that will give your hair it's color back.

The gift he speaks about is likely the 1 800 number to call for the free sample.

Gee, if only Clinton had gotten rid of him when he could, then we wouldn't still be putting up with his propaganda. My guess is he will be endorsing Hillary in his newest video. She, like her husband, will give him four more years of assured life.

I heard that Al Qaeda is being humilated through out the muslim world.

At a cinema near you coming soon

"The Galactic Emperor, who commands all beasts (including the mere lion) to tremble in his presence" Not a crappy internet video but a three hour feature film.

Warning, plot spoiler:

Those who live in a caves are out of touch with the world and need to get out a bit more. An old guy with a white beard gets caught out by a young child with love in his heart. The nasty old man learns at last hatred is an outmoded concept in the modern world. The young child turns out to be a robot packed with C4 plastic explosive, but decides not to detonate as even a robot has a heart warmer than the lion Osama.

Gee, wonder where Hillary and Obama got all their campaign funding? Obviously OSBL is announcing huge donations to democrat's presidential campaigns....whoever they are. He can't show his face in Iraq or Afghanistan without getting it shot off but I'm sure he knows he can win here with democrat support. I'm sure he's well aware that democrats are screaming to hand him HIS VICTORY in those countries.

Weekend at Bernie's 4 is airing this Monday on all the major news network. You can catch reruns on the FOX network for the next several months.

Recently, I read about an artist who gathered hundreds of nude people and photographed them in several places and situations. I'd like to see that photographer gather 1300 volunteer nudes to line up in 13 rows then bend over, with their buttocks painted either red, white, or blue; in order to form an American Flag. Then another 100 nudes lined up under that with their buttocks painted white with the phrase "Kiss my flag, Osama!" lettered on them. And that should be our new video for him!

may God fry him [obama-sama-lama] in a vat of boiling oil.

In the spirit of ABC's reporting techniques, I can't disclose how I came by the following information but this is a direct transcript of OBL's new message:

"Durka durka durka! Durka, duka DURKA!"

Who benefits from showing binLaden tapes?Americans certainly don't, except maybe Bush and cronies. But we keep doing bin Laden a great service by showing these. Just what he wants. No, he isn't in Iraq, and we still don't know where he is, but he's likely to turn up and this surge will take him
out. Isn't that why we're still in Iraq?

Chelsea Clinton asked one of our soldiers in Iraq: "As an American, what frightens you most here in Iraq?"
The American Soldier answered:
"Osama"
"Obama"
and
"Yo Mama"

There is no evidence that OBL is still alive. There is no evidence 9-11 was anything beyond what is was... see Germany, etc since then... all moslem jihadists trained in Pakistan area... OBL area we all agree on... the war on the west is real... there is no evidence there is not a global terrorist movement... the deniers are without evidence... the USA is not the source of world evil... the self-hating just are happy being unhappy. Its what the modern liberal (secular socialist) does... the angry know-it-all emotion-based no evidence looney fringe.

OSAMA BIN LADEN is sending a video, but a plot to send bombs is foiled once again.

OBL's supporters in the United States are not bearded Muslims training suicide bombers; they are ACLU lawyers, congressmen and senators who deny eavesdropping tools and attack our will to wage war against the jihadists.

If we leave this Mohammed on the mountain, he will bring the mountain down on us.
