On FOX news now.

Sorry, FNC is back to Lohan.

The only reason Zawahiri is putting out dead Bin Laden tapes are to show the world he’s a “prophet” and should be followed even if one can’t physically touch him.

It doesn't work that way on the Muslim street -

If he’s complaining about Ally McBeal’s cancellation again, he’s gotta be dead.

THEY CANCELLED ALLY MCBEAL!?!?!?!?!?

JIHAD NOW!!!

Al-Qaeda means the base and they also believe the final chapter in the Quran, the Caliphate, has not been written yet. They believe the supreme prophet is one who answers directly to Mohammed which according to Zawahiri is Bin Laden and he will deliver the Caliphate. Zawahiri is not ready to concede that dream is not possible and would even hide Bin Laden’s death and pump out dead Bin Laden tapes to try to keep others believing the Caliphate is near. You’re right though, it won’t work on the Muslim Street because of the exploited degrees of separation between the multiple sects.

Dev as you and I know, the minute he is confirmed dead, the whole WoT is over. Oh, Bush would still seek to do what's necessary, but that would be the last excuse for the Lugars and the Dominicis to start voting with the Dems. And I don't mean all the troops would come home from Iraq, I mean they would come home from Afghanistan, too.

And AQ would have the next eight years of Clinton to regroup for their nuke attack.

[Ditter]

AQ is send out ‘old tapes’ because that is ALL they have. (May I be the first to say) “He’s dead Jim.”

[BOBTHENAILER]

Bin Laden died of heat stroke 2 years ago....
brought on by Global Warming

[Beckwith]

I have been saying that bin Laden has been dead for a couple of years no.

He’s too much of an egomaniac to give Ayman al-Zawahiri top billing.

[LS]

Actually, if we prove OBL dead, the entire WoT is over. That would be all the excuse the lib Republicans needed to bail. “OK, we got the guy who started this. Now let’s bring ‘em home.” You’re right that they want to blame “Bush’s failure,” but OBL is better to the cause of killing these terrorists “alive” than dead.

[COBOL2Java]

No one can agree on where he is, what he’s up to, and whether he’s still alive.

Under a pile of rubble, not much, no.

[FreedomFromGov]

Haven’t heard it but you know what? I’m tired of being freakin’ scared every time I hear one of these reports; and I’m scared because I have no faith in this administration’s ability to see that we are protected. And don’t give me that BS about not being attacked since 2001, because prior to 2001, we weren’t attacked on our soil since 1993. I’m tired of hearing “we’re fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here.” Can’t believe they’re literally burning my tax money on the other side of the world.

[tobyhill]

When is the last time we’ve been attacked on any place of direct US interest like embassies or foreign bases outside the theater of operations?

[theBuckwheat]

Is this just an Osama Remix, or a real new tape, like new as in taped last week?

[RightWhale]

The media doesn’t want him dead

That's one. Nobody wants him dead. Even Congress, who just raised the bounty to $50 million which makes him twice as not dead as before. It is in everybody's interest that he be not dead. It's like the Tulip Bulb Mania. Nevermind the actual value of Tulip Bulbs, so long as everybody needs Tulip Bulbs there will be a market.

[BIGLOOK]

Osama encore!

[SevenMinusOne]

No - AQ does not hide their leaders deaths. They celebrate them. It is how they honor them. It would be seen as a great insult to UBL had he passed and AQ failed to recognize his passing....

Understand it is much easier to spin the truth....then to hide a lie....

And recognize it is not in your enemies interest to show you what you want to know....AQ/UBL would be happy to think that some of us wonder at times if we are chasing a ghost..

We'll put guns or a JDAM on UBL worthless as$ one of these days...just as we did Saddam & Zarqawi and another dozen HVTs we've chased for 5 years... (and there were many who insisted they were either dead or didn't exist altogether as well......Until the day we captured or put them in the ground).

Regarding these latest AQ video (with a segment of UBL footage within it)...It seems many are out needlessly chasing rabbits -

Let's be clear - AQ never suggested this was a *new* video of Sheik Bin Laden....It was the MSM whom did (for their own political and or inherently incompetent reasons)....

The first time AQ officially releases a UBL video under the guise of it being *new* and it is later shown not to be....Then these rabbit trails many of you are running down....may actually turn into big game. Until then, many are just chasing needless rabbits....

Bottom line is where UBL and Zawahiri have eked out their survival is in a sh*t part of the world and an even sh*tter area to operate in or to bring progress to....(and they know it and choose this area because of such) -

Time was on these SOB side in the short run for staying alive & eking out a survival (and no they aren't necessarily living from cold wet cave to cold wet cave nightly.....Though at a great number of times I'll bet they have been - But they are also well aware that at any moment we just may put guns or a JDAM on their as$ - They can't communicate freely whatsoever, they must ask for protection and worry everyday that someone just may turn and provide that needed HUMINT for us to swoop in - It cannot be a comfortable life in the least).

Just as we have got a number of long sought after HVTs in the past 6 months...(that we're chasing for years) we'll get UBL and Zawahiri one of these days too....

I don’t know. Don’t care, really. Okay, so we’re fighting them in Iraq so we don’t have to fight them in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan or Afghanistan - is that your point? They attacked us (read: 20 guys hijacked our planes with knives), and they drew our troops out so they could kill them, and we ended up spending a shitload of money to fight them while we simultaneously did not spend enough money on homeland defense. Wouldn’t it have been better if we had just stopped 9-11 altogether and let them continue to try and hit us on foreign soil? I know that I’d be sleeping better. This country needs to get its ass in gear and stop relying so much on foreign interests.
