Just wanted to alert you all to this. I do agree with the authors regarding the transcript on the issues.

I think that, contrary to the analyst’s assessments, this IS a signal to attack.
1. Invitation to convert: “Installation of worldwide caliphate. The invitation to convert to Islam is mandated in Koran. Invite the enemy to convert before you attack.”
2. The claim that islamists don’t kill innocents...here’s the explanation and justification for murdering millions of innocents:
“Then you claim to be innocent! The innocence of yours is like my innocence of the blood of your sons on the 11th — were I to claim such a thing.”
3. The next attack will be nuclear:
“Bin Laden comes close to offering a date for the tape with this by saying, “... just a few days ago, the Japanese observed the 62nd anniversary of the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by your nuclear weapons.” The anniversary was on August 6”
I agree with your post as stated milford421.
I haven’t posted up my link set yet because I am still looking around.
Things that concerned me and/or I noted.
1. His beard is a signal that he is a young, strong lion in my opinion.
That MAY indicate he’s ready for battle and/or to lead a battle and/or to continue the battle.
2. His invitation to islam (that’s not a good thing to hear from a jihadi).
3. He’a a puke and an icon for the AQ gangbangers, but his message can and probably will inspire jihadis/jihadi wannabes/jihadi supporters — even if they don’t agree with him on all things.
Jihad — another day.
And you may well be right. (See post 414)
I’ve read conflicting interpretations.
But why such a “veiled” threat?
Sadly, I agree with you. While I’ve only been back for a few hours to hear the so-called analysts, I think most of them are really trying to down play the ramifications of UBL’s message.
No need to panic the populace......they need to go to Wal-Mart and support the economy........../sarc.
I think it’s a whole out fake.
He talks about how the muslims protect the jews and how Kennedy was assassinated by US corporations because of his opposition to the war. Rambles on about global warming and the poor Africans. It may very well be a signal. But I think it’s a fake. The real one might come out on 9/11.
Isn’t that pic of him with the black beard old?
Sorry I’m behind but the last i saw of him was very gray.
Do they have Just For Men in Pakistan?
