what do you think? probably a good idea. I'm in


CAIRO, Egypt - Osama bin Laden appeared for the first time in three years in a video Friday released ahead of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, telling Americans they should convert to Islam if they want the war in Iraq to end.

The 30-minute video was obtained by the SITE Institute, a Washington-based group that monitors terror messages. American officials said the U.S. government had obtained a copy earlier and intelligence agencies were studying the video to determine whether it was authentic.

In the video, which was broadcast to the Arab world by Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden sits as he talks, wearing a white robe and turban and beige cloak seated behind a table while reading an address to the American people from papers in front of him.

    It all sounds funny... but, guess what? He has to warn us and give us a chance to convert to Islam before attacking us. Those two conditions did not occur prior to September 11, 2001 and many of those religious fucks over there gave Bin Laden a rash of shit for not doing so.
    He is merely knocking out the pre-requisites to do whatever harm he sees necessary.

    If they know binny speaks on video tape just before 9/11 EVERY YEAR why not monitor the communications in that area. Hell its not like EVERYONE has electricity. Maybe if they thought of it as wiretapping instead of video tapping we could catch him.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    after you convert you'll be asked to become a terrorist, and if you refuse, you'll be killed...Muslims should figure out how many Muslims have been killed by Muslim terrorists...it's many more than Americans

    Are there there stats on this? I'd be curious to see this reported past reactionary face value in the media.

    Do you ever wonder about false flag operations going on over there at all?

    When a bomb goes off somewhere over there in a public place how do they know it was a terrorist? There is no evidence. They (the media) just assume it was a suicide bomber.

    Ever ask yourself that?

    the leader of the 9/11 attacks? Do we really know whether this film is from this week or from 8 years ago? Do we really know whether Bin Laden speaks as a militant or a peacemaker? Do we really know whether he has a pacemaker? Do we really know he exists anymore at all?

    Is he a friend of the Bush family and in cahoots and doing his part by showing up on video just in time to help Bush make his case for more war?

    Is he a rather cool friend of Cat Stevens just trying to come out with a new album of folk songs?

    Is he a friend of Michael Jackson's, just trying to help Jacko look good?

    Will we ever know????????

    Will we ever REALLY know???????

    let me get this straight... israel blows up muslims to make it seem like muslims are blowing up muslims so that americans/israelis can tell themselves muslims blow up muslims to justify blowing up more muslims and thus provoking muslims into blowing up americans and israelis?

    yeah, that seems a much more likely story.

    bomb his ass. Can't we find him now via satellite? Let's fly over his hideout and bomb him once, bomb him twice, and then tell all the world that terrorism is over...and that middle eastern men can now let their beards grow without having to worry.

    Yeah they really do seem to come out around this time of year. I also noticed our US intelligence had to look over this video before it's release. I wonder how close they really looked?

    doesn't matter whether it's a suicide bomber or not, just whether another Muslim was behind it or now, which in Iraq is the likely case when a bomb erupts. Shiite vs Sunni, Sunni vs Sunni, Shiite vs Shiite, tribe vs tribe, throw in Al Qaeda members, and other forces (including the U S), does anyone think this is like Vietnam? the Japanese or German occupations after WWII? that Bush is completely incompetent and unable to understand what he's done? He's saying wait 50 yrs I'll be a genius...under his rule our species would be extinct in 50 yrs...WTF is up with the constant change in reasoning for the war, the constant misrepresentation of the situation, and now the changing of what is and what isn't a reportable violence...here we go again, and most of American will take up the wahzoo as they have the past 5 yrs without complaint...they may not like it, but they want take any action...sorry just a rant by now huh?

    That's about the size of it. Arabs are the new bad guys. They don't deserve the right to have internal conflicts or raise their voices in protest even. They are all nothing but "trouble" and to be dealt with swiftly now.

    The public is being played. It's happened before, it's happening now. It will happen again unless people wise up.
