Wait, I thought this was another goofy DUCT tape thread...

[travelnurse]

***Powell said he had read a transcript of "what bin Laden -- or who we believe to be bin Laden"***

---

This seems to imply that it isn't necessarily bin Laden making the tapes, but Islam wants us to believe it is.

bin Laden is dead, IMO, he couldn't survive the daisy cutters at Tora Bora. If the US announced to the world that bin Laden is dead, that would provoke radical islamists all the more. It's a cat and mouse game. By keeping him alive in the media via tapes, they (Islam) think they are foolin' us. The jokes on them.

I read another translation of this tape and it linked Iraq and al quada a bit better. Sounds to me like whoever this is speakin is tryin to stiffen some spines. It worked in Mogandishu. Al Quada had put enough troops and advisors in there to make a difference with the Sammies fightin spirit, so ta speak. Might work here. Won't make any difference, cause if we go, we are going to kick their a$$.

I don't know. It seems we're lacking Saddam's reply, "Ok, Brothers in Allah, let's do it!".

Look into my eyyyesss!

There will only be haphazard strikes that dissipate the enemy ammunition and waste its money. Dig many trenches. The [early Muslim caliph] Umar, may God be pleased with him, stated: "Take the ground as a shield because this will ensure the exhaustion of all the stored enemy missiles within months." Their daily production is too little and can be dealt with, God willing.

These poor clowns have no idea how much wealth the United States produces.

Quite a difference in the translations. Here's the one I posted earlier.

The following is the full text of an audio message purported to be by al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, broadcast on Arab television station al-Jazeera on 11 February. In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate.

If Osama bin Lauden is still alive, why doesn't he show his face on a video tape?

[Mike Darancette]

We were about 300 mujahideen [Islamic militants].We dug 100 trenches that were spread in an area that does not exceed one square mile, one trench for every three brothers, so as to avoid the huge human losses resulting from the bombardment.

They were in small covered slit trenches on the flat ground while we bombed the hell out of the caves and the mountiansides. Next time use a little Napalm in the valleys too.

[Kevin Curry]

Osama must be a regular poster at DU and Liberty Post. I've read his stuff there.

"Once again....Nothing here folks to even remotly claim a Saddam-Bin ladin tie!"

I hope the slime is still alive so we can kill all over again.
