Bin Laden's Back...DON'T LOOK!

Last week, we were treated to Ayman al-Zawahiri's message:

Have I not conveyed? O Allah, be my witness. Have I not conveyed? O Allah, be my witness. Have I not conveyed? O Allah, be my witness.

Gee, God sure is great, isn't he?

Speculation that Zawahiri's words are code to signal an attack is being bandied about.

To heighten anxiety, we have new images of Osama bin Laden's mug.

CAIRO, Egypt -- A new al-Qaida videotape posted Sunday on a militant Web site featured a short, undated clip of a weary-looking Osama bin Laden praising martyrdom.

The bin Laden clip, which lasted less than a minute, was part of a 40-minute video featuring purported al-Qaida fighters in Afghanistan paying tribute to fellow militants who have been killed in the country.

Bin Laden glorified those who die in the name of jihad, or holy war, saying even the Prophet Muhammad "had been wishing to be a martyr."

"The happy (man) is the one that God has chosen him to be a martyr," added bin Laden, who was shown outdoors wearing army fatigues and looking tired.

Have you ever heard a report that said bin Laden looked well-rested?

He's always said to look tired.

Maybe bin Laden isn't happy. Maybe he should follow his own advice, be a martyr, and GET HAPPY!

The authenticity of the video could not be verified, but it appeared on a Web site commonly used by Islamic militants and carried the logo of as-Sahab, al-Qaida's media production wing. It was not immediately clear when the video of bin Laden was filmed.

Bin Laden was last heard from in a July 1, 2006 audio tape in which he voiced support for the new leader of al-Qaida in Iraq and warned nations not to send troops to fight a hardline Islamic regime that had recently seized power in Somalia.

Sunday's video, dedicated to Muslims who have left their homes to fight jihad, included a series of animated scenes showing green fields overlaid with Arabic names written in gold, representing Arab fighters who had died in Afghanistan.

Following one such sequence, the self-proclaimed leader of al-Qaida in Afghanistan appeared praising his fellow fighters.

"Your hero sons, courageous knights have left to the land of Afghanistan ... the land of jihad and martyrdom, answering the call for the sake of God to kick out the occupier who has desecrated the pure soil of Afghanistan," said Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed.

What?

Bin Laden is upset about us occupying Afghanistan?

According to the Dems, our problems stem from having U.S. troops in Iraq. That's what has ticked off the Islamic world. We could make the terrorists like us, or hate us less, if only we bugged out of Iraq.

The Dems always are quick to say that we belong in Afghanistan.

Well, bin Laden doesn't think so.

What now, Dems? What's the plan?

Whine about Scooter Libby? Yeah, that's the ticket.

...At the end of the broadcast, images of the Sept. 11 attacks were shown, and a voice could be heard saying, "In a few days, the crusaders' landmarks were flattened."

That's a nice touch. Very thoughtful.

If al Qaeda didn't put out images of 9/11, we'd never get to see them.

Our media have determined that it's wrong to show the planes crashing into the towers. It's wrong to show the towers crumble. We aren't allowed to see that stuff. Too upsetting.

The lib media, as mouthpieces for the Democrats, don't want people to get angry again. They want the memories to fade.

We aren't even supposed to talk about the specifics of the attacks UNLESS the topic is how Satan Dick Cheney and the Bush administration orchestrated the terror; or like Ron Paul says, that the U.S. is in "great danger" of the government staging an attack.

Other than cases like that, the images of 9/11 are strictly off limits.

All those weak on terror Dems and those limp so-called Republicans like Chuck Hagel, Richard Lugar, and John Warner want you to forget.

Russ Feingold has worked tirelessly for nearly six years to undermine the PATRIOT Act.

The New York Times pushes ahead on its crusade to undermine programs that protect the nation and go after terrorists.

Yes, as al Qaeda ramps up its propaganda, the Left and the spineless on the Right want you to dismiss the terrorist threat. They don't want you to focus on Islamic fascists that are plotting to kill us.

The real threat, the real enemy is Dictator George W. Bush.

Loons like Barbara Boxer think impeachment is the answer.

A loser like John Kerry prefers to spend his time blocking Bush's nomination of Mark Green to be ambassador to Tanzania rather than deal with terrorists. Keeping Green out of Tanzania is what's important to Kerry. Sure.

All these distractions and obstructions from the Left and the warnings from al Qaeda continue to flow.

Nice work, libs. Very nice.

Al Qaeda thanks you.
