The original story:

Al-Jazeera TV: A new Osama Bin Laden Video? - UPDATE

Late yesterday afternoon we began to get reports in from sources expressing pure anonymity that Al-Jazeera Television is currently in possession of two new Bin Laden Videos. Our source a Journalist overseas with direct contacts into the Al-Jazeera organization has indicated that Al-Jazeera TV was instructed to air one of these videos following the results of the US Elections.

Our source indicated that one of these videos expresses Osama Bin Laden issuing "Congratulations" to Senator Kerry, while the other tape portrays Osama issuing "A clear Threat and Warning" to the United States for re-electing President Bush.

As soon as we began to hear these reports, we immediately contacted Al-Jazeera Television. Our phone calls were ignored for a good portion of the evening until finally we got through. Al-Jazeera is keeping "whatever they have" very hush hush. They haven't confirmed or denied these initial reports of having another Osama Bin Laden video. While these reports may end up leading nowhere, one does not find it hard to conceive that Osama Bin Laden may believe it is in his best interest to warn the United States for not following his "Message to the People" Speech.

If Al-Jazeera were instructed to air this new tape, one would likely see it aired on the popular Arabic News Commentary show, "Today's Harvest". This show airs late night during Ramadan and is roughly around 4:00 PM EST in the United States.

While it is not clear and concise as to who won the election, it is safe to assume that President Bush has won re-election. If Osama truly wants to back up his word of "Leaving the security of the States in their own hands", then it isn't hard to believe that Osama may have already given another tape to Al-Jazeera TV expressing his new feelings towards the US for re-electing the President.

Whether or not Al-Jazeera TV is actually in possession of a new video is still up in the air. Our sources tell us they are, and Al-Jazeera hasn't denied it yet. If this story develops, we'll keep you updated.

And the new, updated story:

Al-Jazeera in possession of new Osama Bin Laden 'Message'

We have confirmed with both overseas sources and sources inside the United States that Al-Jazeera is indeed in possession of some form of new Osama Bin Laden Message. This message is more than likely a new video, threatening America for re-electing President Bush.

We have been informed by sources asking to remain anonymous that Al-Jazeera has agreed to embargo the new Osama Message for another 24 hours. More than likely this is due to the pressure of the US Government to not air this new tape.

TrackingTerrorism will have more details on what is said in these new Osama video(s), as more information is being delivered to us via courier later this evening.

I'm sure Bin Laden is celebrating; this guarantees him a steady supply of recruits, as well as an administration that will never actually locate him.

This is the truth.... that is if Osama was all about taking names and kicking ass.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Osama is nothing but a modernday bogeyman that the neocons could care less if we captured or not now that Bush is reelected.

 

[xsarien]

AMERICA IS SAFER! STAY THE COURSE! FREEDOM IS ON THE MA---Oh, fuck it. I'm going to bed.

I hope, beyond all else, that nothing ever happens. But if something does, and again, I hope it doesn't, the Neocons will have reaped what they've sown. You don't get rid of the beehive by going at it with a baseball bat.

 

[ErasureAcer]

I still think NK is the bigger threat. But if OBL can wipe out some morons who voted for Bush, you wouldn't see me crying. Hopefully OBL takes it easy on the Blue states. Thankfully I'm in one and voted for Kerry.

 

[Idle Will Kill]

You people are delusional if you think who won the presidential race really changed whether Osama was going to try and attack America again.

 

[MetatronM]

If Al-Jazeera were instructed to air this new tape, one would likely see it aired on the popular Arabic News Commentary show, "Today's Harvest". This show airs late night during Ramadan and is roughly around 4:00 PM EST in the United States.

Is it wrong that that made me laugh?

 

[Socreges]

That's alright, America. You elected Bush for just this reason. He'll keep you safe.

 

[Lambtron]

But if OBL can wipe out some morons who voted for Bush, you wouldn't see me crying,

Jesus Christ. "They didn't vote for my canidate, so it's no problem if they die!" Good chain of thought there.

 

[ErasureAcer]

I have no idea what Osama is going to do. We'll see if attacks Kerry states or not. If he truly wants peace, I'll think he'll them slide and go after the morons who voted for Bush.

We could have peace, if someone like Kucinich were in office who didn't fuck up foreign affairs like Reagan/Bush Sr and Bush Jr/Cheney have. War is not always the answer....we could make peace with Bin Laden but we never have tried. Because we know he'd ask us to get out of the mideast and we're too stupid to do that.

It'd be funny if Saudi Arabia had bases on American soil...and then fucked around with the political climate while here, as they stole our resources. Yeah, I'd bet we'd be real happy.

Put yourself in his shoes.

 

[mashoutposse]

Now that the election is over and things can once again be evaluated with an open mind, it is becoming increasingly clear that OBL simply wants the softer of the two in office. It's hard to regroup when you have the most powerful nation in the world breathing down your neck.

I think Bin Laden has been watching too much Fox News.

You don't have to watch Hannity to determine that the guy who defers more often to diplomacy is likely the lesser of the two evils.

Sucks that this guy might have the same general opinions that I have... Ah well. I hope all of the old people who voted Bush back in are seeing something great in him that I am overlooking (or something that bad in Kerry).

 

[ErasureAcer]

I don't even like Edwards one bit. This has nothing to do with candidates but everything to do with keeping people accountable for their actions. Bush supporters elected someone they thought was moral and in the process elected someone who is weak on defense. At the end of the day though, is BUSH STATES that elected Bush. They should pay the cost of his looking for worms in Texas while people like Bin Laden are planning to harm the country. Kerry supporters should not die for Bush's stupidity...PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Makes sense to me...hopefully Bin Laden agrees.

 

[Fresh Prince]

To be hoest why go for America when he can go for a 'soft' target allied with the US elsewhere.

Like I posted in the election thread

“Just wait till they are Chinese military bases in America in 30 years time”

It’s just hypothetical but I don’t think you guys would take to kindly to you’re new masters?

Unfortunately, most of the good targets are in Kerry states.

Anyway, according to D. Cheney and the guys on conservative AM radio, we shouldn't even be worried about another attack... We re-elected Bush, remember?

 

[ErasureAcer]

Attack FLORIDA. This is all their fault from 4 years ago anyways.

Someone pass this on to OBL.

The next time Ann Coulter says something about bombing the New York Times headquarters, I better see you replying "Right on, baby!"

check this. Attack Ann Coulter first.

 

[Socreges]

No doubt that Kerry seems to be a diplomatic, cooperative man. Though the notion that he would treat terrorists in such a way is bogus. There's no question that Kerry would have continued what Bush started and even try new, potentially more effective avenues. Everything short of invading hardly contingent countries, I mean.

lol...the pies missed, though.

You know I never thought I'd ever feel like this but I would not mind if you died in an al-qaida bombing.

those guys were just amateurs. Osama has professional pie throwing training grounds, except in his pie pans he has napalm.

As much has I hate that whore trick bitch, I wouldn't want her to actually die.

Tremendously and thoroughly humiliated? I could go for that.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Why would al qaeda want to attack me? I'm against Bush. If you haven't realized yet...Al Qaeda operatives are in the USA...they could be placing bombs in people's houses and blowing them up, blowing up bombs on buses and whatnot...but their attacks actually have reasons behind them. WTC, Pentagon, USS Cole, obvious targets that serve a practical purpose. If history is a good indication...they'll be after government, military, financial targets once again. Their war isn't against average Joe Jane America. It is against the American Government and the braindead assholes who elected that government....or so I believe.

Now the question is...did you vote for Bush? Because maybe then you will have to worry about your house being bombed. At least moreso than mine.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Death is to strong to wish upon anyone. The only person who I could wish that on is someone who kills Americans, destroys America's foreign reputation, destroys our financial backings, and spews lies indefinitely.

I'm pretty sure that al-Qaeda wants ALL Americans dead...Republican, Democrat, Independent, you name it.

Maybe not you as an INDIVIDUAL Democrat, but they won't go out of their way to single people out.

 

[Fresh Prince]

ErasureAcer has gone off the wall. He can't be a joke character l because he's been openly Liberal too long.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Hey, we're all trying to heal. Lots of Democrats and liberals are devastated by the election. Now is a time for healing, EA included. Let him cope, guys.

Except that Ann Coulter stuff. She's a joick.

i thought bush was gonna announce that they captured osama within a week before the election? what happened guys?

Absolute absurdity.

 

[Willco]

Osama doesn't care if Bush or Kerry is elected.

DON'T ATTACK THE BLUE STATES WITH THE HIGHLY POPULATED CITIES!

... You people are idiots.

I think you're both wrong. IMO the right answer lies in the middle.

The targets are carefully chosen and not random. The targets attacked so far have been institutions. But if the goal changes from "strike the enemies base" (ie. Pentagon, WTC) to "terrorize their people"...then it's plausable you'll see attacks in crowded shopping malls and sporting events.

The war is against the government, you are right in that EA (and the notion that it is "absurd" is wrong), but they can use your own death as part of their war. If you were in a theatre and it was hijacked and you were used as ransom, though you are not the target of thier war, you will be involved in it and a victim of it.

Nascar?

 

[Socreges]

What makes this PARTICULARLY funny is that you voted for Bush, but apparently wanted Kerry to win! Man, I thought that was remarkably stupid then, but applied to Erasure's (bizarre) logic it's just hilarious.

 

[CrimsonSkies]

Should I give a crap what a dude in a cave with a mental disorder thinks?

I also think anyone who even suggests people should be bombed for voting for Bush should be banned from this site. I'd like to see the reaction if the flip had been said. You couldn't handle it.

You people live a sad life.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

"BRING 'EM ON!!!"

 

[DJ_Tet]

well, seeing EA get banned, who didn't see that one coming miles away? Simmer down dude.

What qualifications do you have to diagnose Bin Laden with a mental disorder?

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Did EA really say he wanted Bin Ladin to attack a red state for the election?

Jesus Christ man, I don't like bush either, but I don't think people in Florida should die because of it. Thats like something Ann Coulter would say.

 

[Ghost]

goddammit why couldnth they have leaked this BEFORE the election.

Put yourself in his shoes.

Haha, he likes Kuchi. That guy has fallen off the face of reality some time ago. This is why the dems keep losing lately, their nut jobs are more outspoken, and more insane.

 

[Baron Aloha]

I actually think Osama wanted Bush to win. Everyone knows that everytime Osama puts out a tape or when the terror alert increases it helps Bush. Osama knows this as well. Bush's policy of invading other countries helps further his (Osama's) cause because it allows him to recruit more people. Furthermore, Bush's tax cuts and increased spending are bankrupting America. This is one of Osama's primary goals. Afterall, the WTC was chosen as a target because it represented the center of our economic strength.

Just my $0.02.

Oh and here's something I came across today that made me laugh (sorry if old):

 

[Scoobert]

Photochops are fun.

 

[DarienA]

How can we still be getting Osama tapes? I thought Bush said he would find and kill Osama and that he was a high priority target?!?!?!
