   I think bin laden is dead. It’s easy enough to create a voice with sound equipment. Besides, they got everything wrong because:

   Act 4:10 “that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth…”
   Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

   So Muhammad,who did everything to please Allah,chose not to be a martyr because it would hurt the feelings of those left behind. Much like their leaders now,”Martyrdom for thee,not for me”.

   There is no question something evil is afoot. They could strike anywhere at any time.

   Our government does not have a lot of time to contemplate where and when so we the people must help our government by being vigilant and prepared to help.

   Now I’m off to Hot Air for another lesson from Robert on the Qur’an.

   And if Al Quida does attack us again, what kind of response can we expect from the democrats?

   More of the same. Blame America, it’s our fault they attacked us, blah blah blah…

   I think bin Laden bin dead for years now.

   There is no way he wouldn’t be turning out videos to boost the morale of fellow fanatics, and just to show he was alive and can’t be caught.

   It’s been a long time since there was any proof that he is alive.

   Yeah the guy died in some cave. Living in caves without the ability for dialysis regularly was surely not the martyr’s way to go. If he were in Iran, he would have been able to receive dialysis and we would be seeing those home videos of him ‘preaching the love of martyrdom for all but me’ sermons.

    With the surfacing of this “new” Osama bin Hidin’ tape, there is now even more reason to doubt that he is still alive. Apparently, the tape is genuine but appears to be 4 -5 years old. Question: if he is still alive, why would the terrorist organization release a tape of him that is that old? He doesn’t mention any of the recent attacks (or attempts, but, of course he wouldn’t admit failure on al Qaida’s part) and if it turns out to be true that he is dead, does that mean that Al Zawahiri is now the new head honcho?

    Another point. Doesn’t it seem eerie that several muslim doctors have recently been involved with al Qaida activities? It kinda destroys the idea that those involved in Radical Islamic Jihad are only the “disenfranchised,” “uneducated,” “poor,” “evil-minded,” and “desperate.” However, it seems that the leadership members never strap bombs on themselves or drive car bombs into throngs of people. They preach martyrdom for the minions (mostly young males) who have been DUPED:

    Disenfranchised
    Uneducated
    Poor
    Evil-minded
    Desperate

    into the cause of Radical Islamic Terrorism and Jihad.

    But the cowardly “leaders” live on.

    Except for those, of course, who have already been killed by our brave military personnel.

    And, probably, Osama Bin Dead.

    Hello everyone, so many thoughts, so little space:-)

    The people involved in the next attack on America are already here. The timing of video release suggests (usually does) that the operation is already in place.

    Though I would not wish an attack on anyone, my fear is the target will be DC. Though a good stike on congress could save us a lot of future grief, I fear for my co-workers in DC and the many military and local response units that will be involved.

    My thoughts on Bin Laden is that,prior to our attack on Iraq, he was killed by a Seal sniper in the Afgan mountains and buried in a shallow grave.

    Now you ask, what purpose would not reporting his death serve? Well, if it was reported that Bin Laden had been killed, Americans would have considered the war on terrorism over. They would have lost interest, the attacks on us would have continued. By keeping the boogeyman alive, the public interest in combating terrorism was kept alive.

    Again, this is just a hunch

    Have a great day

    SirKnob,

    So, are you saying that you think the Bush administration is (or, was) keeping Bin Laden’s death a “secret”?

    With all the leaks out of DC, I would have to disagree with that.

    If anything, it was the terrorist’s goal (and, Zawahiri as the new leader) to keep Osama alive in the minds of the radical Islamic jihadists in order to continue to recruit for the cause.

    With this you have to wonder- if Zawahiri can still make videos, why can’t bin laden? Our intelligence still thinks he’s alive, but he hasn’t put anything out indicating that he’s alive for a while.

    Sirknob, even when you couch a phrase with “I would not wish an attack on anyone”, to say that “a good stike on congress could save us a lot of future grief” just isn’t right. Just my $.02.

    Trail of terror will continue unless the apologists themselves recognize that the Islamists are the problem not the western culture. I wrote about this couple of weeks ago on my blog. Meanwhile, we must not give one inch to these animals who want to turn back the clock a couple of thousand years. For an immigrants perspective, please visit my blog The Jungle Report.

    You know, I just had a thought….maybe others have pondered this as well.
    If so and you’ve posted, I apologize in advance for repeating ideas.

    I wonder just HOW MANY ILLEGALS here are actually terrorists, living, working, going to school, shopping, and are being used to strike us very soon.

    Think about this; They are taking over our country quickly….do you think the OBL terrorists are targeting them? I don’t think so, but they’ll use them.

    I Hope and Pray that I am wrong here.

    Osama bin Laden could very well be in a persistent vegetative state. However, there is no excuse for Bush and his minions to not engage in hot pursuit over the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, even if only through air strikes. Musharraf in his weakness made a deal with the Taliban: Go attack the Americans and leave me the hell alone. Now, that deal has fallen apart and we are fully justified in carpet bombing the so-called tribal areas. They attacked us on 9/11 and they deserve to feel our pain in the worst way.

    nbarry:

    Not such a good idea.

    There’s a very good reason Musharraf won’t let NATO operate in those areas; if western soldiers step one foot in Pakistan the radicals will have a million people in the streets calling for Musharraf’s head. At that point, a takeover of the government by the Taliban backers - and Pakistan’s 60 nuclear weapons - is a real possibility.

    Pakistan is a tinder box, hanging on the knife’s edge. Yes, Musharraf was weak to make that deal with the tribes. But most people at the time didn’t think it would last anyway. Now the chickens have come home to roost and Musharraf is forced to fight a war in the most treacherous, inhospitable geography in the world.

    Carpet bomb if it makes you feel better. Just take responsibility when some of those Pakistani nukes end up in the wrong hands.

    Hello all, in reply to comments received.

    Christinewjc, I do not proclaim this is a presidential coverup. We had at least 4 reports of the ‘possible’ death of Bin Laden, only one of which (as I recall) was verified to ‘not’ to be him. AQ & the Taliban drag the bodies away and dispose of them very quickly. The administration would not report a death that could not be verified. There are those, myself included, that would not risk personnel, or their families, by identifying their connection with the ‘possible’ death of a high value target. I would not report the death as anything more than terrorist casualty. In conclusion, I am not a consiracy theory type. However, knowing what I know, taking into account the number of times AQ attacked us, how little the media supports us, how quickly public interest wanes, at that time and place I would have been sorely tempted to keep the boogieman alive. Only the few people directly involved would ever know.

    BadIdeaGuy, I apologize and take note of your concern. My comment was meant in humor only, I neglected to add a smiley face I do not wish an attack on anyone.

    Gayle, unfortunately, you are ‘not’ wrong.

    Rick Moran, spot on

    Have a great day everyone

    Once again rick moran’s arrogance is overshadowed only by his ignorance. Always ready to raise the white flag .
    As a muslim sympathizer people like him are the reason islam has gained a foothold in our country and continues to spread like a cancer .
    He defends a cult that seeks world domination and that includes America.
    People do not be influenced by his foolishness .

    So, you are advocating the overthrow of Musharraf by Islamic radicals, thus arming them with 60 nuclear weapons.

    And I’m the foolish one?

    And because you continue to prove yourself an ignorant bigot, you are banned from commenting on this site.

    Rick Moran:

    Osama bin Laden is fond of saying, “When the people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they go with the strong horse.” When Musharraf made his deal with the tribes, he not only admitted hia weakness, he also knifed us in the back.

    As for the 60 nukes, it has been widely reported, even going back before 9/11, that the radicals have already infiltrated the Pakistani military.

    However, even if every word you say is the Gospel truth, how will the Bushies or their successors explain away their inaction to the victims of the next Al Qaeda outrage against us without coming across as helpless losers?

    According to Captain Ed, the deal between Musharraf and the Taliban has been declared void by the Taliban. So, the Taliban has put itself between the Pakistani army and NATO, or the hammer and the anvil. Their takeover of the Red Mosque has backfired.

    Pakistan has never been all that extreme. They elected a woman. Now, will the Democrats ever understand that we had to wait for the Pakistani populace to be on our side before attacking the Taliban inside Pakistan?
