I like Ron Paul's suggestion about enabling Bush to issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal.

Or else drop the bounty to $1 to show the Islamic terrorists we don't think he's worth ****. The $50 million makes OBL out to be some sort of superterrorist.

[Garcia Bronco]

I agree WAGS

[Bronco_Beerslug]

For 50 million, we probably ought to consider getting a group together and going over there and getting him. Get your passports in order, raise some cash for expenses and let's go get him.

In reality, it might be worth learning arabic and perusing the Internet and see if you get lucky (wandering on to a board or site he's using for communication).

Nah.

Not unless some significant, previously unknown oil reserves are discovered in Pakistan.

[Meck77]

I just can't see someone saying "Well 25M isn't enough to give up Bin Laden's location but 50M is another story!"

How long has it been since a Bin Laden video has been released anyway? Just curious?

How long has it been since a Bin Laden video has been released anyway? Just curious?

Wasn't it last November?

(Audio tape, if I remember correctly.)

In any event, Team Bush has done a "heckuva job" making good on their promise to bring him to justice.

Bin Laden stresses martyrdom in short segment of new As Sahab video (http://www.lauramansfield.com/j/default.asp)
He himself said ‘By Him in Whose Hands my life is!
I would love to attack and be martyred,
then attack again and be martyred,
then attack again and be martyred.’

Those are the words of Osama Bin Laden in a short clip from a longer As Sahab video obtained this morning by LauraMansfield.com.


http://www.lauramansfield.com/sho301-tn.jpg

The Bin Laden clip appears to be a short portion of an older video of the Al Qaeda leader speaking to his followers about martyrdom. There are no indications as to the date when the clip was filmed.

Bin Laden is shown dressed in dark, with a camouflage jacket, and a dark cap. He has a ring and a watch on his right hand, and gestures freely with both hands.

In the clip, 50 seconds long, Bin Laden says:

The seal of the prophets and all messengers (reference to Prophet Mohammed), prayers and peace be upon him, wished this status.

So be alert, be wise and think.

What is this status that the best of mankind wished for himself?

He wished to be a martyr.

He himself said ‘By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to attack and be martyred, then attack again and be martyred, then attack again and be martyred.’

So this whole broad life is summarized by he who was inspired by God, the lord of the heavens and earth, praised and exalted is He.

This glorious prophet who was inspired by God summarized this entire life by these words. He wished upon himself this status. Happy is the one who was chosen by god as a martyr.

The remainder of the video includes various clips showing jihadist fighters reading their final wills, as well as statements from new Al Qaeda in Afghanistan commander Abu Yazid.

The video surfaced on jihadist forums where similar Al Qaeda statements have been released previously. It is branded with the As Sahab logo. No subtitles were provided.

The video clip can be downloaded here. A copy of the full video has been sent to subscribers.

Nothing suggests that this is new footage LA. If OBL was alive and healthy his punk ass would be all over your tv.

[NYBronco]

If OBL would love to be martyred does he understand the need to come out of the dark and damp cave he hides in?

[Bronco_Beerslug]

Nothing suggests that this is new footage LA. If OBL was alive and healthy his punk ass would be all over your tv.Why is that? I'm pretty sure he isn't in good health and hiding out is what he has to do to survive.
If OBL would love to be martyred does he understand the need to come out of the dark and damp cave he hides in?I'm pretty sure that's not a problem for him no matter what happens to him.

He's been in the same area for 6 years now though I'd guess, maybe the same cave, who knows.

I'm pretty sure intelligence has better resources for figuring out the age of the video.

Take a closer look. Not only is there the same mountain slope in the background on the left side of the frame, there are the same leaves dangling overhead. It is the exact same shot.

[Meck77]

Well it's pretty clear that LABF was wrong in that there is new video of OBL. Yes there is new footage released but no evidence to suggest it's a new video based on a date, information on the video etc.

In fact I'd say since they haven't released any new clips may mean that he is either dead or unable to be filmed. If he was fine why wouldn't they just release a clip of OBL with something that proves he is indeed alive to rally his people and take a shot at Bush at the same time?

Seems very logical to me.

[Chupacabra]

I would hope so if a 21 year old college student sitting at his computer utilizing google and common sense just did.

[Meck77]

Well if there was any doubt why 9-11 happened the quote below confirms it. For some reason people are afraid to draw that conclusion but he said it in his declaration of war on America back in 1996 (under Clinton btw) and he's gone on record again. We are stuck fighting a war for Israel. We got sucked into Gulf War I by protecting them against Saddam's scuds and paid the price again. What's next? Another 9-11? Something bigger? And for what?

Read the quote below. This isn't about Bush. It's about our country being manipulated over and over again fighting other people's war. I think the omane represents a good cross section of America and every time this point is brought up in this forum there are several people who say "This isn't about Israel, We need to defend Israel because they are our friends, or something really stupid like Iraq is about oil etc". No people we are in this war because what OBL keeps telling us. Read it one more time. He's been saying the same thing over and over since 1996 but nobody seems to listen or want to believe it.




In another section, The Sunday Times said bin Laden warned that any country siding with Israel would be a target. "The war is between us and the Jews," the paper quoted him as saying on the tape. "Any country that steps into the same trench as the Jews has only herself to blame."

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

Oh, and BTW:

If you look at the wording of the headline, it's clear that "Bin Laden appears in new al-Qaida video" could mean the video is either "new" as in "newly-produced" or "newly-released."

You don't need proof bin Laden is alive. You need proof bin Laden is dead.
Otherwise any statement released with the claim it is from bin Laden
is accepted as fact by the jihadists. You show the body and you have
proof the video is a fake.

Report: Bin Laden Already Dead
Wednesday, December 26, 2001

Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.

"The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead," the source said.

Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief.

About 30 close associates of bin Laden in Al Qaeda, including his most trusted and personal bodyguards, his family members and some "Taliban friends," attended the funeral rites. A volley of bullets was also fired to pay final tribute to the "great leader."

The Taliban source who claims to have seen bin Laden's face before burial said "he looked pale ... but calm, relaxed and confident."

Asked whether bin Laden had any feelings of remorse before death, the source vehemently said "no." Instead, he said, bin Laden was proud that he succeeded in his mission of igniting awareness amongst Muslims about hegemonistic designs and conspiracies of "pagans" against Islam. Bin Laden, he said, held the view that the sacrifice of a few hundred people in Afghanistan was nothing, as those who laid their lives in creating an atmosphere of resistance will be adequately rewarded by Almighty Allah.

When asked where bin Laden was buried, the source said, "I am sure that like other places in Tora Bora, that particular place too must have vanished."

ORANGEMANE ROAD TRIP! If no one turns him in for $25 million, what makes them think a guy making $100 a year will NOW take the 50 million because 25 million just wasnt enough. Some day one of these terrorist will want to get turned in for the money so they can buy a nuke. Wouldnt that be ironic to pay to stop the possibility of a nuke attack and they take the reward money to buy just that.

[codeman]

Fifty Mil for a dead man! I'm sure there is no way they will pay if you have a decomposed body and that's all that's left of the dude if that. He could have been incinerated by the Thermo-baric bombs dropped while he was hiding in Tora Bora.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

Fifty Mil for a dead man! Geeezus, the U.S. governemnet doesn't even know but since someone posted a Fox news link about his death he's dead.
You can speculate all you want but you or NO one else here knows....

I'm just projecting due to the fact that nothing new has been seen from him for years. Everything has been taped and from the looks of the very few tapes that have been shown do not tend to seem credible, a mix of old videos at best.

Think about it, OBL was one of the biggest video whores of all time. He was always spouting his jihad against America. The guy's ego would not let him step away from center stage for a minute.
