So another OBL tape came out. So what?

[Poiuyt]

What's the big deal? All he does is taunt Bush a little bit. Why does this get such huge media coverage?

[Lex]

1. Because he's not caught yet?

And because he supposedly help mastermind 9/11 and is still running around making videotapes?

2. It's unAmerican to not crap your pants with fear. nt

[TwilightGardener]

4. The big deal is the "Just For Men" treatment on the beard!!!! NT

[Sequoia]

5. To make us afraid.

Besides the "fake" OB tape has to show around this time of year.

[ginnyinWI]

6. I'm not afraid, I'm mad!

Mad at the supposed leadership in this country which doesn't care about America and is too incompetent to catch that guy.

[Lex]

8. Exactly right.

I'm more afraid of Bush than OBL anyway.

[Beelzebud]

7. Um, because he's the basis for the bogus "war on terror", and he's still free to distribute tapes.

They NEED Osama Bin Laden.

10. That's such a bizarre response

I admit it's common.

Osama Bin Ladin is the head of an organization called Al-Qaeda, which killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11. So while he is reprehensible, what he says and how he gets it out to us and is folloewrs is relevant.

11. During the Cold War, we used to hear the Soviet leaders all the time

But no one went ballistic (heh, heh) over any of their communications. Except maybe during the Cuban Missile crisis. I remember the media at the time treating messages from the Kremlin as all bluster and rhetoric.

Forgive me Bryant, but I don't know how old you are. You may or may not remember this.

13. i'm in my 30s but I am a student of history so I'm aware of those speeches

That said, the Soviets obviously talked a lot more than Osama Bin Ladin. And the situation was different in that we were in a cold war with them rather than a hot war.
