Osama's Son's Wife: We Want Osama To Talk To Bush

Osama bin Laden's son, Omar, appeared on the Today Show this morning, along with his wife. In what was surely one of the more bizarre interviews in awhile, Matt Lauer asked Omar what he would do if he knew his father's location. Would he turn Osama in to the authorities? As it turns out, Omar would not. However, Omar's wife got to the heart of the matter, chiming in with the mystifying claim that what she and Omar really want is for Osama and President Bush to meet and hash out their differences. Only then, she says, will the violence cease.

Watch the video from the Today Show below, and tell HuffPost whether you think Omar bin Laden is genuine, or just desperate for attention:

HA! I'm pretty darn sure Bush has already talked with Bin Laden on several occasions. They have obviously worked out some kind of deal whereby Bush leaves him alone so Bin Laden can spew his terrorist garbage to feed the Bush propaganda machine's FUD. Bush is the ULTIMATE terrorist, and I doubt Bin Laden had much if anything to do with 9/11. IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB.

The Bushes and the Bin Ladens actually talk on a daily basis. I believe it's called Carlyle Group board meeting... ;)

[gurukalehuru]

Actually, the woman is absolutely right. Conflicts should be talked out, wars should not happen.

[Wiredwilly]

What bullshit. " Omar " doesn't KNOW where his father is ?
Dry that out and you can fertilize the lawn with it. These Elitist want a tribal council between Warlords. Sorry, it's not the year 1200. I believe The Founding Fathers, Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin would suggest they bring it up with The Congress of the United States. The PEOPLE will bring Peace, something most billionaires don't understand. It's because of a kind of mind that lacks basic primordial confidence and requires submission or control. The Founders saw through that and empowered the PEOPLE to be Free to think for themselves. The Founders basically gave the finger to Monarchs, Kings, Queens, Princes, Sheiks, and Emirs. Tyrants of all shapes & sizes could basically kiss the illustrious Mr. Jefferson's butt. Mr. Bush & Mr. Bin Laden are obsolete. It's time the PEOPLE give up on these zealots and think for themselves. I have no idea what really happened on 9/11, but I do know if people on both sides were thinking independently and not taking the advice of fools it wouldn't have happened. Apparently the World has forgotten the lessons of Nuremberg. This whole fiasco is utterly unnecessary. Bin Laden , Bush, Bandar and Huessin couldn't bring Peace if you put in a bucket. All they do is blow things up and Pontificate. They are basically spoiled ego maniacs, immature children unable to admit error, put into power by the family money, desperate to silence the opposition because that's the only way they can keep up the charade. To bring Peace requires intelligence and humility, qualities the Bush and Bin Laden families seem to have replaced with Oil.

Osama (bin Laden, that is) is going to issue a Fatwa on that woman for running around half-naked like that. Has she no shame????

[HumeSkeptic]

lol. How does she know that they haven't already talked, at lest though intermediaries, and worked out a deal?

In a general sense, talking an negotiations never killed anyone. It is never a bad idea. I'm all for it.

[WilliamWallace]

I'll bet they're ok with the cash though ;)

[MaverickModerate]

They are indeed quite naieve, but well, if pathetically intentioned. Imagine what it must be like to be the son of someone who is represented as the greatest evil since Hitler.

Accident of birth is nothing Omar could have controlled, but to his credit, Omar rejected his father's movement and ideals. He should not be demonized with all this undeserved vitriol.

I pity him. So should we all

[Vinquus]

Aw gee, if only my misunderstood mass-murdering Dad could just meet the incompetent US president we could all hold hands and sing "kumbaya". Crawl back under your rock Omar.

That woman is starring in the TV series 'Prison Break' isn't she?

Maybe it's her identical twin sister, I don't know...

Nice intension however totally naive. They sound like my girlfriend who seems to think that Bush and the like just don't understand. If only she could sit down and explain that his actions are destroyning the planet and making life miserable for millions, they will see the light. In reality he is an initiated minion to the club of 19th century, reptilian-mined arses who have not evolved like most humans on the planet. They would rather break the system and bankrupt it before parting with their cash. Everything that was spoken negatively about this destructive man-child is true. When a man is selected and placed into power by fellow hairy-eared trolls(benito scalia) against the will of the people, a man whose toughest day of his life was waking up in a hotel suite with a coke hangover, this is what you get - a living nightmare that has only just begun. I look forward to the day I may piss on his and his VP's grave.

[thehand]

It looks to me like he has been talking to both the Bushies and Clintons. Both let him get away with killing 3000 Americans.

Spare me

What the Hell, - they're practically related through their family business ties.

This country has never been sicker.
