Bin Laden vows never to be captured alive
CAIRO, Egypt - Osama bin Laden promised never to be captured alive and declared the U.S. had resorted to the same “repressive” tactics used by Saddam Hussein, according to an audiotape purportedly by the al-Qaida leader that was posted Monday on a militant Web site.

The tape appeared to be a complete version of one that was first broadcast Jan. 19 on Al-Jazeera, the pan-Arab satellite channel, in which bin Laden offered the United States a long-term truce but also said his al-Qaida terror network would soon launch a fresh attack on American soil.

“I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don’t want to die humiliated or deceived,” bin Laden said.

3. Okee-Dokee



"On the sixth day of Hate Week, after the processions, the speeches, the shouting, the singing, the banners, the posters, the films, the waxworks, the rolling of drums and squealing of trumpets, the tramp of marching feet, the grinding of the caterpillars of tanks, the roar of massed planes, the booming of guns -- after six days of this, when the great orgasm was quivering to its climax and the general hatred of Eurasia had boiled up into such delirium that if the crowd could have got their hands on the 2,000 Eurasian war-criminals who were to be publicly hanged on the last day of the proceedings, they would unquestionably have torn them to pieces -- at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally."

4. Well, he's got nothing to worry about
from Little Lord Pissypants and his Keystone Kops........

He's safe at least until January 20, 2009.

7. To the media: I'll say this every time this happens
Tell us the URL of the "militant Web site." Let us inspect its registration. Let us investigate the site. Let us see where things lead.

Unless, of course, there's a reason we shouldn't know such things. Do any of these reports ever identify the "militant Web site"? Anyone?

38. That is a good point
For some reason we always assume what we here about him we should believe is true....

Well, we have some doubts now..not sure if this works for Bush anymore, so whoever is airing these tapes, please stop....

9. You can't be taken alive if you're already dead
Given that the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that these OBL tapes are all FAKE (despite what the integrity-filled brainiacs over at the CIA might say) I think old Osama just might be able to keep his word on this one!

16. Where is "Z" man?.....
...He's probably growing, yet again, another leg. I'm sure it takes a while to regenerate one. Then, he'll escape by jumping from a second story hospital room, in the nick of time, all the while, running through a hail of gunfire bullets...he may or may not lose another limb in that exchange, but hey, he can always grow another one back....:think:

14. Seems to me,
there will be all these Bin Laden tapes just like this telling how he will not be captured alive and on, and on it will go, and then all of a sudden, "we got him"! Yep, nothing like thawing out this fellow to be used sometime close to the mid term to show president macwarhardon is in control and give the repugs a lil bounce to keep control of Congress....

25. "would soon launch a fresh attack on American soil."
This probably is not about Osama, but about the next destructive act planned to occur on US soil convieniently before the next US elections. Be prepared to put on your critical thinking caps as soon as something happens. They really botched the World Trade Centers wit the controlled demolitions and will be more cagey this time.
If the word is being put out that Osama is planning an attack, you better believe that the same group that did the inside job in 9-11 is planning their next strike!

32.  Bin Laden vows to fight long war and not be taken alive
Bin Laden vows to fight long war and not be taken alive
By Anton La Guardia
Diplomatic Editor
(Filed: 21/02/2006)


Osama Bin Laden has vowed never to be captured alive, telling Americans he is ready to fight a long war "until your minds are exhausted and your lives become miserable".

...

He makes a pledge: "I swear to die only as a free man. Even if I taste the bitterness of death, I do not want to be humiliated or betrayed."


Translation: "Nya nya nya nya nyaaaaah nyaaaaah, ha ha ha ha haaaaaa haaaaaa!"

Oh. My. God. He's turned into Osama bin Cartman!

34. How convenient. Just what Dick and Dubya want...endless war and
OBL, or Goldstein, as we prefer to call him, alive and well for the five minute hate. This is such transparent BS propaganda.

How long will Americans let Cheney and Dubya and their henchmen play them for suckers with this OBL nonsense?
