Thanks for the reports aecreate.
I guess you can tell by the lack of response this thread got that OBL and his buddies have become more of a joke than something to be overly concerned
about.
I was out fishing when the report was released, so I didn't see the news about this new video. Your posts did peak my interest a little bit though
so I did some digging.
I found several reports showing some strong evidence that the video clip of OBL is from between Oct. 2001 - March 2002.
Heres one of the reports. Some sites also note that its not even OBL's
voice in the few seconds he is in the video. It was dubbed over.
So if he's alive, why are they down to showing re-runs? And why does he hide like a coward instead of showing his face and taking a chance of getting
martyred like he tries to talk others into doing?
Either way it seems like AQ's day is 'bout over. Heck, they can't even get a simple car b0mb at an airport to work right nowadays.
Perhaps
this article talks about that stuff much better than I could.
No matter who is behind AQ, if nothing transpires, or a new major attack fails, I suspect the the goodwill and funding from their buddies will dry up
pretty soon, cuz AQ is loosing credibility fast. (see link above)
On the other hand, if the video does signal a new major attack and it succeeds, I think its clear that they'll probably loose a couple more
countries lickety split. Then the goodwill and funding from their buddies will go away because of their anger over that.
AQ is screwed either way.
Unfortunatly even if AQ goes away, I suspect others will follow in their footsteps for quite some time to come.
Just my 2 cents.
I would say that he was dead a few years back, yet his "spirit" lives on for the spurring of his
masses. I may have to eat my hat for that statement, but it's what I feel. (Pass the salt please, oh, and another beer!)
