Osama Bin Laden's widely reported video address to the American people has a peculiarity that casts serious doubt on its authenticity: the video freezes at about 1 minute and 36 seconds, and motion only resumes again at 12:30. The video then freezes again at 14:02 remains frozen until the end. All references to current events, such as the 62nd anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Japan, and Sarkozy and Brown being the leaders of France and the UK, respectively, occur when the video is frozen! The words spoken when the video is in motion contain no references to contemporary events and could have been (and likely were) made before the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
The audio track does appear to be in the voice of a single speaker. What I suspect was done is that an older, unreleased video was dubbed over for this release, with the video frozen when the audio track departed from that of the original video.
The video may be downloaded as a 677 mb MPEG file here.
He is dead Jim...
works for me - so easy today to fake such things - why do we swallow it as whole cloth?
He looks dead.
Because the Left want him to be alive. It gives them a political out to be “anti war” while claiming, wrongly, not to be pro terrorists.
The interesting thing about this tape....is that the speech and its contents are like out of a Al Gore/John Kerry speech. This isn’t the normal Osama speech that we are used to. I don’t the guy wrote it, and whoever did write it...had political aspirations in the chatter.
You could actually take three lines of the text...write them out on a screen with someone speaking them...and give a listener to pick who said it....with a picture of Al Gore or Osama....and half the time, they might pick Al.
bttt
I believe that’s true.
Bin Laden, dead since December 2001.
That was my reaction as well.
If this didn’t sound like that little puke from the left coast, I don’t know what would.
I love it ... “biggest gas bag in the terrorist world”! Indeed.
