As a matter of fact, I am conversant in Syrian Arabic.
Unless you show VISUAL proof of date, everything else can be dubbed and can be done so fairly easily.
If Al Qaeda can dub so well, why can't Hollywood?
But they could be putting out false information for their own reasons.
So the United State Government is lying, because, like totally that huge like military industrial complex man, dude it needs feeding. Are you sure you're on the right website?

Great. Is that what he spoke on the tape? One source says there are 8 languages spoken in Pakistan alone (where, if he truly is alive, he's probably spent some time in the last 4 years).

I can get 2 13 year olds with a $1,000 camcorder, a computer, and one or two of about 13 different software packages that can tape me and have me speaking French, which I don't speak. With more sophisticated equipment and help from a college student, they might get the tape to pass a rudimentary print test for my voice. That MIGHT be pushing it, but there's no doubt that 2 trained professionals could do it without trying.
There are hardware and software devices out there that, if you can sing on key, they can make your voice sound fairly decent in real time. Too bad few current people with recording contracts use them!

Dude, do you really believe that if it was in our best strategic interest to either keep him alive, or make our enemies think we think he's alive (or even convince them ourselves that he is alive), that the CIA wouldn't authenticate a tape it either knows to be false or can't make a conclusive determination one way or another?
The last thing the CIA is going to do is come out when any tape is release and say, "we do not know for sure." They may say the first day, "we are looking into it," but after some time, they will likely authenticate it. It isn't a matter of lying ala Bill Clinton and the RAT party. It is a matter of national security, and I would rather them authenticate something if they feel its in our country's best interests to do so. However, I feel free to remain skeptical. You, apparantly, on the other hand can be sold anything.

I've been here a hell of a lot longer than you have and I'll be here a long time after you leave.
