    Bin Laden said insurgents should admit "mistakes" and that he even advises himself not to be extreme in his leadership.

      This sounds like something from The Onion.

      Osama, a uniter not a divider.

      Here is an idea for this administration. This is the worse thing that could have happen let's hope for our solders sake the is late.

      He has realize that this is starting to work against him but if he can pull this new direction off then heaven help the world, I hope he is too late with his attempt to be cohesive.

                    Osama's real message-

                    You probably wonder why I am talking to you on tape when anybody with the intelligence of a house fly knows I am long dead, and several different actors have since portrayed me.

                    It is because manipulating people is easy when you have a boogeyman, and I am the boogeyman of the U.S. I am the justification for the war on terror. I am the reason the Bill of Rights sits in the trash bin. I am the fiction that makes it somehow right when the U.S. military attacks a muslim country.

                    You dumb bastards keep watching, keep buying into the fiction, and run scared into the arms of Big Brother for protection.

                    Have a nice day.

                        Osama spends $3.99 on a pack of cassette tapes, Bush needs another $46 billion.

                        Business as usual.

                          "He can run but he can't hide." I can just hear Bin Laden laughing, "Wanna Bet!" as he dances in his cave.

                          Republicans are TERRIBLE at handling defense. No Republican has won a war since Abraham Lincoln. Interestingly, back then the Republicans were the liberals and the opposition was the rabid right.

                              911 was a windfall for Bush. 911 was the justification for proactive strikes against Al Qaeda and their partners, the Taliban. But it also provided Bush the opportunity and support for preemptive strikes against Iraq. And we all know what a f*ck up that was. And as long as Bush keeps information about our readiness and response to 911 secret and inaccessable to the public, conspiracy theorists are going to thrive.

                              Man. If the Muslims DON'T heed this knuckle-head's call to unite and start killing our troops and each other again, will that be proof that they are now losing faith in Islam, or, losing faith in he who I was led to believe was the Billy Graham OF Islam? Sounds like the king weird beard is now getting desperate over the silence going through Iraq.

                                What Bin Laden refers to as extremism is not what many of the posters have in mind. Almost every post I have read had missed the point. Al Qaeda made a major blunder by killing some Sunni tribal leaders who were not cooperating with them or had denounced them. For those who are familiar with tribal culture, that was a major EXTREMISM and no tribe was going to let that slide. In tribal culture if you kill one of the tribe members, (even though in the tribe's eyes he might have been an as s h o le who deserved it) now the rest of the tribe has to go for revenge and restore tribe's honor. If you kill a tribal leader, then you really are asking for it. You would be better off killing a Mafia Boss. When Al Qaeda made that mistake, US and Iraqis immediately realized it and capitalized on it. This happened to be around the time that Bush announced surge in troops and new troops were arriving.

                                  This was one of the biggest breaks that US and Iraqi forces caught, the decrease in violence was not so much (in my opinion) because of the troop surge but because many Sunni tribes turned against Al Qaeda (in Anbar province) and joined US troops. In fact those tribes had told US that we will fight AlQaeda first and when we are done with them we will fight you. But that was fine with Iraqis and US. Al Qaeda did another one of those EXTREMISM and bombed the funeral of these slain Sunni leaders. That basically put the last nail in their coffin. Al Qaeda has never recovered from those EXTREMISM and the fact that Bin Laden is verbalizing that EXTREMISM shows the severity of the blow to AlQaeda in Iraq. Insurgency can NOT survive without SUPPORT and PROTECTION by the locals. Al Qaeda has lost that to a great extent. Al Qaeda in Iraq is basically going through the motions and nothing more. Bin Laden is bleeding in Iraq and nothing wrong with that.

Next time how about let me in on what the rest of your multiple personalities know, and that why you are sending me a private message in the first place. Or is it your normal m.o. to randomly sending nasty rant and raving of profanities to people on Propeller. If so, you should seek pychiatric help as soon as possible

                                      How come Osama's phantom video and audio show up exactly when Bush asking Congress for more $$$$ to keep troops in Iraq?. Someone should investigate this trend.

                                        How come, if Bin Laden had easy access to video before, he has no access to video now? Only audio tapes which can easily be faked. He could easily set up a video message against a black screen. Why doesn't he?

                                        Because they (someone) tried a photo double once and we all saw that that guy was an actor who really wasn't anything LIKE Bin Laden! Bin Laden is dead. But being dead is now inconvenient for the Cheney war machine.

                                        It is in the White House plan to keep Bin Laden alive in the minds of Americans so they can continue their fear indoctrination against the people who will then be afraid and support the wars, now and in future.

                                            Hi Osama, We are still taking off our shoes at the airport, we are trashing our drinking water, baby milk, toothpaste, cologne, shampoo & wine. They are still breaking in to my suitcase and looking what I have and occasionally I lose some valuables. I still unpack my laptop computer and repack.

                                            They are still listening to my phone calls and reading my e-mail.

                                            Can you give us a brake and send an all clear signal to Bush?
