Al Qaeda Announces New Bin Laden Video

Osama bin Laden will soon send a video message to America, according to a Web site regularly used by al Qaeda.
A posting late this afternoon said, "Soon, with the permission of God, a new visual tape, the Sheikh, the Lion, Osama bin Laden. May God protect him."
Bin Laden has not been seen on a new video since October 2004.
A still frame accompanying the announcement shows bin Laden with an all-black beard. In his 2004 appearance, his facial hair was predominantly gray.
Federal law enforcement authorities say that another Web site had posted a message on Sept. 2, promising "a special gift to be delivered on the blessed day of the invasion of Manhattan."
But U.S. officials are skeptical the tape will show a new message from bin Laden. One said, "We will believe it when we see it."

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.

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.....

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