Each time he releases a video, neocons go crazy, comparing bin Laden's words to those of "liberal Democrats." The man is a terrorist; is it so much of a stretch to think that he's a liar, that he's not saying anything he believes, but that he's just trying to cause conflict and controversy in this country?
Sounds like he's succeeding...

I think it's kinda sad that 6 years after the 9/11 attacks Bin Laden is still destroying us and we're letting him.
I might not be a liberal, but I have sense enough to know that they are Americans who have a right to their opinions. I think it's cruel to try to insinuate that they're allies with Bin Laden.
We could live in a country were only one view is honored. I for one am glad that I don't.

Well stated, I am going to stay on the fence as far as my affiliation goes. You're not far off saying that he could be lying just to destabilize us. That is the funny thing about how polarized our country is, even people on the same side are willing to fight for their scraps of the zebra. He was trained by people with the most advanced counter-insurgency skills to try and fight one of our old enemies. We created Bin Laden as he is today. He is wacked, but very intelligent just like every long lived serial killer, but on a whole different scale.

OBL is the boogie man that is why.
Personally I don't care what he says. If the Airlines where not greedy back in the 70's when airplane High-Jacking was popular and put locks and secure cockpit doors in their planes back then, then 9-11 would have never happened.

There is a book out by a guy named Michael Sheurer. He worked for the CIA for 22 years and is one of their top analysts and agents who worked on terrorism and in particular, on Bin Laden info. He knows more about Bin Laden than any other man on the planet other than Bin Laden himself. I suggest people listen to him. He knows alot and he also knows that our policies are failing in the mid-east despite the arrogance and denial of the Bush adminstration.
Bin Laden isn't destroying us. We are destroying ourselves with fear. And, Bush is destroying us with his failed policies and his commitment to keep the American people in fear. My god people, this country is alot stronger than Bin Laden. The soviet union was a real threat but Bin Laden? Come on. He's not even a nationstate with WMD's or Nukes. We will destroy ourselves and do bin laden's job for him with this attitude and lack of reason that is going on.
Bin Laden isn't trying to devide us, Bush has already done that. My god people, wake up. Bush's policies are wrong and they are going horribly in Iraq. Did no one read the recent report by the GAO office? It's credible. This threat is not nearly as dangerous as the Cold War but it is dangerous enough. But we can't fight this threat like it is coming from a particular nation state like we did with the cold war. But our politicians are still fighting in a cold war mentality. It simply will not work. You need to know your enemy to defeat them. Bush has done nothing to learn anything about the enemy. If he had bothered to learn, we would never be in Iraq right now.
Here's an interview with him if you want to play it:

Given the fact that Al Qaeda has been responsible for the first WTC attack in 1993, the Kenya & Tanzania embassy bombings in 1998, the 911 attacks on the United States, the attacks in Bali, the attacks in Madrid, and the attacks in London, I'd be inclined to take EVERYTHING they say seriously when it comes to them wanting to continue the war against the west. Or do you honestly need another demonstration of their commitment?

Osama Bin Laden has more credibility than Bush (who has none)... it gives the neocons someone they can finally look up to and respect.

Are you upset because you and Bin Laden share the same views? He wants the same things you do. He wants the U.S. out of Iraq and so do you. He doesn't want to spill any more blood for oil and neither do you. He is against the evil corporations causing global warming and so are you. He calls Bush's economy a failure because of the mortgage troubles right now and so do you. Please tell me what the differences are.

Because they are told to by the media.
That and an inability to think rationally.
They fail to see how OBL's Kerry endorsement gave the victory to President Bush in 2004.

Yep - he is trying to eat away at America from within. And we are letting him.
While we are whining about small things the muslims are laughing at us. And probably planning their next attack.
Know your enemy people.... The WTC and Pentagon and Flight 93 attacks did not happen by blonde haired, blue eyed men that look like Timothy McVee.

He wants to divide us. Fools listen to him. I do not have a need to watch the videos of a madman. Our CIA will pour over the evidence, I do not need to put that crap into my head
