New "Osama" Tape : BULLSHIT!!

[AntiCoup2K4]

Does this really look like Osama to you??

Not to me. Though at least they got closer this time than "Fat Osama" from Khandahar.

1. Its amazing what they can do with makeup these days

2. Looks like him to me... sorry bro

Kerry Landslide regardless

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. He looks like he borrowed an outfit

out of Hamid Karzai's closet?

[AntiCoup2K4]

13. Maybe that's who it is?

Take off the ZZ Top beard and it looks more like Karzai than it does Bin Laden.

[DuctapeFatwa]

4. No. it is not Osama

Anyone who thinks it is should go review tapes of Osama from several years ago.

5. is he playing the piano?? wtf.

7. HAHAHAHA....welcome to DU!

[Drifter]

6. Is that an actual screen shot??

Because if it is, and maybe I need to take off my tinfoil hat, but when has OBL ever appeared in front of a backdrop? All of the tapes of him I've seen, he's been outside or in his cave. What's up?

[MADem]

23. He does not want to reveal his location n/t

[donco6]

8. Looks like him to me.

But don't really care. It's not like I didn't know he was out there. It's not like I didn't know he would make more taunting tapes. I'm not even sure why this is news.

[Avalux]

9. This whole thing stinks to high heaven

Not only does it not look like Osama, but the translation did not mesh with his typical religious speaking style. I don't think it's real.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

10. Dunno

All those terrorist masterminds look the same to me.................

[Norbert]

11. Reminds me of an old Star Trek episode.

"Captain, have some trenyak."

[lakemonster11]

16. I hope you relish it as much as I.

[rocktivity]

14. It looks like him

Here's my souvenir from the Fat Osama episode. Does it look like he's six-foot-four? What does he say?

15. Universal answer to republican spin on OBL>>

"Do you honestly believe that Osama Bin Laden is sitting in a cave somewhere thinking, "I'll bet my endorsement will really help Kerry!" Good lord... Osama Bin Laden is evil, not stupid. Think for a minute before talking, would you?

[rocktivity]

17. THIS JUST IN: The New Osama is bullshit, too

I said it LOOKED like him, and I was right--it looks more like him than the first fake Osama. But after a closer look by myself and others, I've got two words for Al Jezeera and the Saudi royal family which controls them: Nice try.

20. They Are The Same, Ma'am

This is one of the odder side-lines of this whole business, and it is hard to see any good it serves....

"History is just one damned thing after another."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[newsguyatl]

18. yeh, it's definitely him

who's behind the camera is a whole different story.

but i've talked to a couple different arab speakers who've studied bin laden, and both say without a doubt it's him.

[Mr_Spock]

19. I thought he looked two-dimensional - like computer generated.

Something is not right about the video though it might just be the poor choice of colors - Osama needs some help looking good on video.

[Ladyhawk]

21. It looks like him to me.

:shrug:

[MADem]

22. It's him

I know his face well. Doesn't matter one way or the other.

All it tells us is that the guy who could run, but could not hide, actually could, in fact, run AND hide. Since his thobe is snowy white with a lovely gold overlay, he obviously bears no sign of being smoked out of any hole. And I don't think he is wearing man-tan, so I suspect his burnished visage is the result of time spent in the sun, not in the depths of a cave. It also tells us that the guy who was no longer a priority, that the Bushistas claimed was probably dead, IS both alive and a priority--one that GEORGE IGNORED in favor of going after the weaker, fatter kid on the playground. We do not have enough forces to control Iraq, never mind hunt Osama.

He looks tanned, rested, and ready, and the chimp looks incompetent. He could not find a crippled giant in a land of midgets.

If we really want to feel safe, we will put an ADULT in the White House.
