Claims of new Bin Laden (video)tape
IoL ^ | December 15 2005

Posted on 12/15/2005 3:39:36 PM PST by Dog

US officials are treating a report on an Afghan news website about a new video showing Osama bin Laden with scepticism.

The story from Pajhwok Afghan News, dated Tuesday, describes a new 30-minute tape with a message from Taliban commander Mullah Dodallah and the al Qaida leader, according to the IntelCenter, a US government contractor that works for intelligence agencies.

A US counterterrorism official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity in compliance with office policy, said the government could not confirm the the tape’s existence, but said officials are aware of the media report.

US authorities are viewing it sceptically, the official said.

Bin Laden has not been heard from since a December 2004 audio.

That is the longest stretch the terror leader has been publicly quiet since the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The tape was probably in a glass box that said In case of successful election break here.

It is being brought forward to mask over the success in Iraq. Don't let their propaganda get your attention.

Until I'm proven wrong, OBL died at Tora Bora.

If OBL wants to show the world he's alive, shoot a video with him holding up the front page of today's New York Times saying "I wish to congratulate the New York Giants on their thrilling overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles by the score of 26 to 23."

Otherwise, he's scorpion poop at this point.

Don't worry I'm not distracted. But I find who he is sitting with in this tape a very interesting twist. There have been rumors of a faling out between OBL and Zawahiri...and this will add credence to that rumor.

I thought that was a Paris Hilton video? Did OBL have cosmetic surgery?

Unless he is on the tape making specific statements in resonse to very current things in the news, nobody will believe it is new.

Plus, if he looks different, then we won't buy that either.

Can you imagine what the world would have said had Churchill and Roosevelt hid in caves during WWII? And the 'Rats claim we're not winning.

He was supposed to go on Dialysis, supposedly it was never finished. Also supposedly the guy died after the earthquake.
