Bin Laden praises martyrdom in new video

CAIRO, Egypt - A new al-Qaida videotape posted Sunday on a militant Web site featured a short, undated clip of a weary-looking Osama bin Laden praising martyrdom.

The bin Laden clip, which lasted less than a minute, was part of a 40-minute video featuring purported al-Qaida fighters in Afghanistan paying tribute to fellow militants who have been killed in the country.

Bin Laden glorified those who die in the name of jihad, or holy war, saying even the Prophet Muhammad "had been wishing to be a martyr."

Bin Laden was last heard from in a July 1, 2006 audio tape in which he voiced support for the new leader of al-Qaida in Iraq and warned nations not to send troops to fight a hardline Islamic regime that had recently seized power in Somalia.

1. Gosh, he looks almost exactly the same...

..as he did in 2001. Must have a stylist.

[SKKY]

9. He must be doing some serious "Manscaping" to maintain his look...

...under such horrific conditions. :sarcasm:

[olenska]

5. write your reps now. time running out

This is where we are. a new phoney video of an actor playing obl shows up; chertoff has a premonition of an attack; the third fleet - the USS Enterprise is on the way to the Persian Gulf; the cries for impeachment are gaining volume and momentum. folks, these monsters do not want to relinquish power . ever. cheney is going to stage an attack, declare martial law, nuke iran and cancel the election. write your reps and your newspapers. tell them there is about to be an attack staged by cheney. do whatever we can to stall them.

[Highway61]

10. You're the only one....

Who has said EXACTLY how I feel. You're so right....this is all so much worse than we could ever anticipate....why do you think they built all the "secret" detention centers? God help us all

edit for spelling

[Zenlitened]

6. "Martyrdom is great!" says the guy intent on living to a ripe old age.

Idiocy, all around and on every level. :grr:

[UpInArms]

7. Wow! Chertoff's terra message was off track and the Libby

commutation, AG investigation, Tillman coverage, Vitter scandal, etc - need to be distracted from.

KKKarl had to have someone find a tape of the Biggie Boogie!

Didn't you hear Binny Baby say "Iran"????

[Botany]

8. O.B.L. still rocks

Why the hell would anybody believe ANYTHING produced by bush/Cheney is beyond me.

If he is still alive than nearly 6 years, trillions of $s, and God knows how many dead later we still
have gotten him?

or

He has been dead and this is just more propaganda from a failed administration.

[Libby Libenstein]

11. Should we go into Pakistan to get him?

All credible sources seem to think al-queda is regrouping in the tribal Pakistani areas. If obl is alive, he's most like there, together with al-zawahiri and the rest of scum. To "go after al-queda", like many Democratic politicos say is what we should be doing, will realistically mean invading Pakistan. Should we do it?

[musette_sf]

13. huh?

and, um, welcome. :hi:

[Mark Twain Girl]

12. Hey, at least this time they didn't use the fat, happy OBL actor.
