Tape is real.....they will play it later.

[JennysCool]

I agree. Good thinkin'!

[Mo1]

Joining with the socialists is the only mention of the Iraqi government aside from the name Baghdad.

Yes he did say that ..

I hope the play it again so I could listen better

[mhking]

A coded message..

Indeed. Lock and load. Game on.

[spectre]

I think all we really need to know is that he called for suicide bombing against the United States...again.

It was a signal to his martyrs, that they can strike us NOW.

Do you mean al-Bawaba Walters?

ROTFL!

[lorrainer]

OTOH, Mansoor Ijaz is going to be on FOX. Love him.

[johnb838]

Or he could have just blabbed a lot on tape -- recruiting videos, etc. easy to cut and paste. I'm sure he talked about Iraq at some point in the past.

[Howlin]

This guy on Fox is saying that OBL wants to be the defender of Iraq?

Color me confused.

[mhking]

...tune into Shep on FOX NOW! He's got some amazing analysis going on.

What's he got? (for us cubicle-bound folk)

[eyespysomething]

Me too, but he is biased with respect to Saudi Arabia, my hubby told me he was somehow related to the House of Saud.

[cyncooper]

Isn't Iraq a fairly secular country?

Whatever it is, the point is there is confusion coming from different reporters as to what exactly is on this tape.

Some are saying Bin Laden pledges allegiance to Saddam and Iraq. Others are saying he wants Saddam out.

My guess: Some reporters are eager to "expose" the Bush administration as being incorrect, i.e. Powell's characterization of the tape.

So my prediction is the business about the call to remove Saddam is wrong.

[mitchbert]

the killing of a Kurdish leader a few days ago

That caught my attention as well. These guys do seem to like patterns.

[Freedom2specul8]

Just logged in..have been watching fox news.

What do you think he meant when he said that we're afraid to fight city wars?

[eyespysomething]

but he has great info.

[smith288]

Would it surprise you if I told you I was a 28 y.o. female? My friends all watch that garbage too.....you are not alone my friend. My husband just happened to marry a girl who likes the military/intelligence shows. He's a lucky guy ;)

Well, the wife mainly watches American Idol and Joe Dirt (err...Millionaire). Though I admit, I am somewhat interested in this twist they speak about. I think its Zora who is the millionaire. Just my opinion though.

Back to Osama!

[baseballmom]

Thanks for your answers to the Farsi/Arabic language question

[Eva]

oooo - scary, who knows what he has, I can't think like evil people do.

It's a developed skill, learned from having to deal with liberals.

[Howlin]

I have NO clue; I'm trying to figure it all out. I never was very good at strategy games......LOL.

[lorrainer]

Mansoor Ijaz says Americans ought to go home tonight and say as long as we keep up what we're doing, we're gonna convert a lot of Arab "street." OBL seems to acknowledge that we are making inroads.

[maxamillion]

Propaganda, maybe, maybe not, these surely are interesting times.... Fill your tanks & grab the popcorn, its starting to get rough...
