Tinfoil question: Are the Osama tapes that have been surfacing lately...

...just a diversionary tactic? Is he already in custody and on hold for an "October Surprise?"

2. Personally, I think he's dead.

If he were alive, I think it would be in OBL's interests to let the world know he was still leading the fight against the infidels who now occupy Iraq. True, we've had communications that are claimed to be him....but why not tapes that clearly ID him talking about current events?

If he is captured and being held for a October surprise, I think that's politically risky. First question that will be asked is: when was OBL caught? If people sense the announcement was manipulated to enhance Bush's political election bid, I think it will backfire.

3. recently he has released a tape

in which he offered a bounty of 10,000 grams of gold (i think) for the death of high ranking americans and other foreigners in iraq.

10,000 grams of gold = roughly 100,000 dollars or so.

sounds a bit too conveient, i think. i wonder if bushie doenst have him in a prison cell somewhere with a bunch of script writers in the next room.

my tinfoil hat thought for the night.

5. OF COURSE

Ole Sammy pops up whenever the administration needs him. He always does EXACTLY what they need - present a horrible image of the Islamic world to fuel the racist war fervor.

Ole Sammy might as well work for the Empire. Perhaps he does.

6. The tapes and other "Al Qaeda press releases" are bullshit.

Something I saw the other day referred to Bin Laden as the "emir of Allah's army" or something to that effect?

Fucking spare me :eyes: Is that right out of a cheesy Reagan era war movie or what?

Remember when the Bush Fraudministration openly announced they were looking for help from Hollywood to help fight the "war on terror"?? I think they hired those Freeper hacks who brought you movies like Iron Eagle, and the Rambo series and those God awful Segal/VanDamme/Norris movies

7. I think he is well on his way to advanced stages of decomposition

and is just a convenient diversionary tactic.
