Osama Bin Laden's appearance mocks the mighty USA. It says that with all our resources we have not been able to find one man...
It also shows that the Iraqis have died in vain, whilst Pakistan and Saudi Arabia where the REAL terrorists are being trained and are from.....
Another success for the Bush administration?

not sure what i think of this new episode of the bush war. some may suggest i need to invest in a foil hat, but i am suspicious of anything purported to come from bin ladin. the last two or three vids were highly suspect.
in my mind, authentic bin ladin vids would be relatively sharp and clear. by all accounts he is a very wealthy former engineering student; just seems like he would have a decent camera. somebody is sure slapping america in the face. maybe this is another success for bush
and i don't know who was on those planes. however i'm relatively sure they were not iraqi as we more or less had iraq surrounded for years, turned much of our resources to keeping them under the microscope. five different governments told us in 2001 that it was saudis; the intelligence organizations of those nations tracking Atta and others right up til their final flight to the us, so i gotta think, they probably were saudi. and gosh, bin ladin is saudi... . hmmm.

Yes, it's a fine piece of PROPAGANDA!
We invaded Iraq, a sovereign nation at the time, based upon faulty intelligence (lies?). First it was WMDs and Saddam, then it was about spreading Democracy. We had "Mission Accomplished"... yet we're still there. Saddam, once backed and trained by the CIA, was captured, tried, convicted and executed... yet we're still there. Osama bin Laden has similar credentials from the "CIA leadership school" and we've gone from Osama "wanted dead or alive" to "not important now".
Face it, we don't know why we're there anymore. We've got Bush claiming God works through him and told him to invade Iraq, and Osama's video tells us to convert to Islam to save ourselves... so let's make it about religion now! Yeah, great idea. We can rush blindly towards the "end times" in an ultimate 'Crusade vs. Jihad', throwing aside all rational thought in the process. Bring 'em on!
Why do Bush AND Osama want to keep us in Iraq? How does continued conflict in the Middle East benefit the agendas of both sides of this same coin?

We should have pressed on in Afghanistan and if need be, the Pakistani strongholds because that's where Bin Laden is. To kill Iraqis for five years when the guy you want is hundreds of miles away in a cave chillin out is just plain silly.

What is interesting to me is that some of Bin Laden's comments are word for word what we've grown accustomed to on Yahoo Answers from neocons who do not know that a 50%+ majorith in Congress is not control of Congress. Like it was produced by the same script writers.

We know where he is: North Waziristan, tribal country that we have allowed our "friend" Musharref to take care of >> just like we gave him a nice >wink!< when his boy created the nuclear black market and built the Islamic atom bomb.
Of course, the Saudis are our "friends," too...

Bin Laden is dead. That video clip of him is old. I've studied photos and videos enough to know when I see an old one compared to a newer one.

OSAMA IS DEAD! There is no way a man who has kidney disease can hike around those Afghanistan Mountains with a dialysis machine hooked to him. Our government either knows that he's dead and they are still trying to push this war for oil reasons; or they are so stupid that they don't know he's dead. But I'm telling you, that man is DEAD!

The two groups that are the agressors in Iraq are:
1. Al Qaida
2. Iran
I would say that each kill in Iraq is killing just the people that we are after. Whether we kill a leader of a crumbling terrorist group really doesn't matter.

Over 600,000 dead Iraqi civilians as a result of militarized globalization!
Shameful!
Is this the America you want to be a part of?
Our leaders have misused and abused the powers we have entrusted them with!!!

Bush has been killing the wrong people. We did not get a choice.
