Why did bin Laden release provocative video during Bush's 2 terms, but

[The Backlash Cometh]

we haven't heard a peep from him since Obama became president?

[TBF]

1. Dick Cheney isn't in charge of the videotaping machine anymore? ... nt

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. Doesn't it feel like it was an obvious psy ops project?

[TBF]

15. Benazir Bhutto was killed shortly after stating he was dead -

and I don't believe that was an accident.

[pinboy3niner]

2. Too busy developing his new chemical weapon?

:evilgrin:

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

3. Bin Laden supports his Muslim brethren, duh!

Bin Laden's got O on speed-dial... no need to communicate through leaked videos and mainstream media.
Obviously, Bush screened Bin Laden's calls with caller ID. One too many prank calls, don'cha know.

:crazy: :tinfoilhat:

[The Backlash Cometh]

6. You gets points for creativity.

[fittosurvive]

4. He's dead...?

[Wilms]

7. Bin Laden refuses to perform until Bush/Cheney pay him the royalties owed.

And something about beer and travel money...

[TBF]

9. lol - ok that's funny nt

[baldguy]

10. +1

The US govt stopped sending him checks.

[RainDog]

20. lol

that's random...

[Taverner]

8. Figment. Of. Our. Imagination.

He was killed in the early attacks in Afghanistan, like many in the intel community thought. He's a 6-foot tall guy on Dialysis. Its not like he can run from place to place.

With the boogeyman gone early in the game, they found actors to 'play' Osama

IMO this is the only thing the 'Truthers' have right

12. Beyonce had the best video ever. I guess that I am going to allow you to talk...

If you liked it you should have (indeed) put a ring on it....

13. I heard from MSNBC that his number two, the one we've killed a thousand times

and will kill a thousand more, put out a video urging Tunisians and Egyptians to keep pushing for changes in their governments. So perhaps bin Laden himself is busy personally distributing the freedom-laced Nescafe in those regions.




If you haven't been keeping up with Libya - that's Gaddafi's propaganda angle, that Al Qaeda gave the protesters drug-laced Nescafe and that's why they're so upset. And when I saw our media agreeing with his propaganda - I really wonder if Al Qaeda even exists or if they all got together and decided to make up their own Emmanuel Goldstein.

16. That's why Libyans should drink only rain water and vodka.

17. he use to come out at election time,

whenever the polls would pull to Kerry and of course we would go from orange to red alert.

amazing how the masses can be so manipulated...

[lunasun]

23. I noticed that too !I said you'd think Bush etc. would do something different once in a while

I guess if it was working why mess with it They knew 'fear' was a biggie at the polls

[Canuckistanian]

18. There have been a few

But nobody believes in them any more. I think bin Laden made DOZENS of them and AQ is releasing them like Disney movies .... spaced out for maximum effect.

[Horse with no Name]

24. And if the pubis take the next election

They'll digitally remaster and re-release.

19. It looks as though his show has been booked for a second run....

Bin Laden Challenges Obama in New Audio Message

"Is America Capable of Fighting Us After Bush?" Osama Asks in Tape

In a direct challenge to President-elect Barack Obama, Osama bin Laden questions whether America "is capable to keep fighting us for more years" in a new audio message attributed to him Wednesday morning on an internet website.

A senior U.S. official told ABCNews.com, "There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the tape."

It is the first time bin Laden has been heard from in seven months and puts to rest speculation he is dead. The al Qaeda leader's last audio message was posted on May 18, 2008.

"This is part of their ongoing propaganda effort to appear relevant by commenting on current events," the senior US official said in dismissing the significance of the new tape.
National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said the tape demonstrates bin Laden's isolation and "continued attempts to remain relevant at a time when Al Qaeda's ideology, mission, and agenda are being questioned and challenged throughout the world." He said it appeared to be a fundraising effort for al Qaeda's propaganda campaign…

Bin Laden accuses Obama of sowing 'revenge and hatred' in Muslim world

Al-Qaida leader's recording released as US president arrives in Saudi Arabia for start of Middle East tour
Osama bin Laden today denounced Barack Obama as the US president arrived in Saudi Arabia at the start of a short Middle East tour in his continuing effort to reach out to the Muslim world.

In an audio recording timed for Obama's latest overture, the al-Qaida leader said the US leader had planted seeds of "revenge and hatred" towards the US in the Muslim world, al-Jazeera television reported.

It reported Bin Laden as saying that Obama was continuing in the steps of his predecessor, George Bush, and warning Americans to be prepared for the consequences of the White House's policies.

News of the recording came after Obama arrived in Saudi Arabia at a start of a trip that will also take him to Egypt, where he will deliver an eagerly awaited speech at Cairo University.

But it's been a year and a half if my search engine can be trusted.

I recall these vaguely, and ironically when Obama made the speech in Cairo.
