Web site: Bin Laden to release Israel message

NEW YORK — Osama bin Laden, who has threatened to extend al-Qaida's terror to Israel, will release a new Internet message dealing with Israelis and Palestinians, a terrorism monitoring group said Thursday.

The announcement of the impending comments by the head of al-Qaida was posted on Web sites often used by Islamic militant groups, the SITE Intelligence Group said.

Bin Laden's statement, "The Causes of Conflict on the 60th Anniversary of the Establishment of the State of Israeli Occupation" and will be addressed to the "Western peoples," SITE said.

Israel has been celebrating the anniversary of its independence, but the occasion has also been mourned by many Palestinians as a reminder of their uprooting.

The Internet message _ expected to appear within 72 hours of the advertisement _ will be bin Laden's second this year and the seventh since the start of 2007, part of an overall increase by al-Qaida in the pace of Internet statements.

In a December, the terror leader offered an unusually direct attack on Israel and stepped up al-Qaida's attempts to use the Israeli-Arab conflict to rally supporters.

"We intend to liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea," he said, threatening "blood for blood, destruction for destruction."

Israel has warned of growing al-Qaida activity in Palestinian territory, though terror network is not believed to have taken a strong role there so far.

This came out today. They buried it and gave it 30 seconds in the middle of the news hour. Meaning, another bogus tape of Bush propaganda. Scare and fear, big bad bin ladin is coming to get you!! The boogie man Bin Ladin.

[PioneerKing]

AMAZING HOW THOSE bin LADEN MESSAGES SEEM TO CROP UP AT THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TIME FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

near the end of the summer there are going to be all kinds of alerts and messages just like in 2004, the republicans will resume their fear tactics to draw Americans to vote for them once again and, once again months after the election Olbermann or some other savvy journalist will find out the truth behind the scare tactics and Americans will realize that they have been lied to by the republicans. unfortunately by that time the addlepated manchurian canidate will be president.

[segsig]

His messege should be "Vote McCain", it's in their best interests! Continue the policies that have driven our economy into a hole, has morally bankrupted us and shredded our own Constitution, and made enemies for us throughout the world.

[SarahLee]

His message? Vote Obama 08 !

[CrazyDemocrat]

Bin Laden is dead !! Heaven only knows where this message came from !!

[zendem1]

Of course there's a new BinLaden video on the way. The GOP is in trouble isnt it? It's an election year isn't it? Osama Bin Laden is the national spokesperson for the Republican Party. Wonder if he'll be wearing an American flag lapel pin on his fatigues?

[ClaudeZachary]

I hope its a video, can't wait to see the new "fake" Osama's make-up & wardrobe

[ErnestineBass]

Cue "The Boogeyman".

[BPCentrisAmerican]

I forget, wasn"t he the guy who planned 9-11, which I saw in person in NYC on 9-11? Bush didn"t catch him yet, dead or alive? I guess he doesn"t think about OBL much anymore, you know being busy with Iraq all. Tap dancing on the Whitehouse steps, begging the Saudis for oil and going to Israel to drag domestic politics into the international forum. George is busy man you know, he had to even to give of Golf.

[GunneraGirl]

should have given up Gulf.

[orianna]

So what now... does Bush have Bin Laden in his pocket?... has Bin Laden been in hysterics over the US dilemna?... is this just a fabrication?.... somehow a threat of terrorism is the most expected happening as we near the elections... what for it... check it's source... and most likely, be prepared to stay the course with courage and not try to hind behind our bully politicians who will pretend to protect you.

[jeffp26]

Bring it on!!! We got a cowboy president who promised to kick Bin Laden's A$$.

Oh yeah, I forgot he promised that in 2001. What happened?

[snobama]

wonder if he will give a shout out to his namesake ... ..

[nutty4tahoe]

C'mon, Nation! How can we as a collective group be so gullible and short-sighted? The dumbing down of America by the current administration is the only tool they have left that seems to be still working so of course they'll keep trying it. It's worked so far! Wake up and smell the coffee. Remember, Shrub doesn't spend much time thinking about bin Laden by his own admission. Why? Unless you haven't pulled the wool off your eyes yet, you should be able to figure it out...

While in Italy recently I was watching the worldwide version of the BBC and CNN. These are not the watered down versions we Americans see, the world view is quite different. The Europeans and Australians I have met in my travels cannot believe how out of touch and apathetic Americans have become. They call us "fish" because we seem to "swim in schools" just following behind and doing whatever someone else is doing, unthinking. They are chagrined that we just seem to be stumbling through life, that we have gotten so desensitized to our surroundings. They can see that as long as we have our big trucks and SUVs, our remotes, our celebrity idolizing and our beer, we think we're on top of the world. Well, we have met the enemy and it is us, not bin Laden who is just a smokescreen.

[GhostintheMachine]

The only time Americans get upset is if they can't get to the mall or catch the latest gossip about Britanny. Remember the brave Americans who have and are risking their lives.

Armed forces day is tommorrow.

Here"s to the men of the red, white and blue;
Whose patriot"s hearts burned high ...
To the women who served us on land and on sea,
Some even in the sky.

I"d like to say, "Thank you, that we"ll never know
The outcome if you had not gone,"
And to tell you, "I"ll never forget your deed,
As long as my life lingers on."

For, I was a child, when the great war came,
And you just a dozen years more.
Some of you fought on a distant beach.
Some died on a foreign shore.

I"d hate to forget those heroes of old,
From the 'War to end all wars'.
Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm
Proved that men fight evermore.

God, help us all when brave men say,
"Not today. Let"s just wait and see."
For, tyrants come in so many ways
And I"ve heard of complacency.

When integrity falls in the dust by the way,
When conviction fails to command,
When there"s no one to bugle or carry the flag,
What will become of our land?

So, here"s to the heroes and heroines true!
Here"s to the brave and the free!
With my hand on my chest as the flag passes by,
I remember what you did for me!!!

[jadez]

bin laden is dead.

everyone knows it.

[Marlyn]

Yeah. I wonder if they will use that same puppet as before with the black beard?

[rbspickles]

I was thinking a Ouija Board.

[Mark701]

A new bin Laden video right as Obama closes in on the primary win. What a surprise.

[sd4peace]

WOW what a coincidence, this guy's timing is impeccable! I'll bet if he knew how beneficial these "messages" are to the Bush Administration and the rest of the fear-mongers, he would stop.

I mean its like he is a tool being used by the Neo-cons and their allies. Good thing they are going ALL OUT trying to find this guy.

[Marlyn]

"I mean its like he is a tool being used by the Neo-cons"

No, no, the Neocons wouldn't fake another bin Laden report, would they?
Oh yes, they would.

[Hare]

As tragic and traumatizing 9-11 was for us, it is nothing compared to how tragically destructive this administration has been to our country. Conspiracy theories apart. How come we only hear of Bin Laden at the convenient time for this administration to continue its grip on our fears? How many times are they going to CRY WOLF and how many times are we going to believe them?

The WTC was very handy for Bush and his team to do what they have been doing. Take away freedoms, spy on us, dismantle the constitution, control us by fear. We fell for Iraq and killed so many innocents. America's image around the world sucks. Where is Bin Laden and the ones that actually supposedly hurt us? yet, look who and by how much our top leaders have benefited from the chaotic war torn Middle East? The Saudis and the rich are doing splendid while average Joe's living standard seems third world.

The worst part is; Are we more secure/safer? Do you feel safer now than after the attacks? I don't. If somebody wants to hurt us they will, and I am not talking about foreign terrorists. For some reason I cannot get out of my head that Bin Laden and Bush were good friends/partners and the families still visit /do business with each other. Some say Bin Laden =black sheep of the family but the government had no problems when he was working with them against the Soviets.

[Marlyn]

"I cannot get out of my head that Bin Laden and Bush were good friends/partners."

NO, of course not. But what IS happening is that the Bush propaganda machine is USING bin Laden to justify their actions. Osama bin Laden isn't doing it. In fact, he wasn't even involved in the planning of the 9/11 attack. He was told about about the plan and gave his blessing. That is all he did.

The real enemy is the Taliban in Afghanistan.

[speakingtruth2power]

BushCo's first Treasury Secretary has stated and written that the need for spying on

US and to invade Iraq was discussed in Cabinet and Security Council meetings as

early as February of 2001, A FULL SIX MONTHS BEFORE 9-11!!! GROK THAT!!!!!!!!!!

[mistlesuede]

Amazingly transparent coincidence that Shrub makes his stupid political remarks in Israel right before "another Bin Laden message" this time mentioning Israeli issues? Give me a freakin' break.
Just where is OBL? In Dick Cheney's residence using movie studio equipment?
C'mon people. WAKE UP!

[Shelly1970]

Right on cue.

[adavis08]

Does this sound familiar? This philosophy sounds like the tactics being employed now.

The phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile:[2]

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[3]

[MenopausalMick]

Just an interesting side quote with NO correlation to this subject other than Bush attempting to quote history yesterday and oh¦umm perhaps the breathlessly awaited Ladle Laden at "Em tape:

...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

Reichsmarschall Hermann Wilhelm Göring

[AERO]

From the grave.

[GravitonX]

Why do we have 150,000 troops in Iraq and 15,000 in Afghanistan when we know Osama is somewhere on the Afghan-Pakistani border?!!!

[adavis08]

Where is Bin Laden? Probably in Saudi Arabia making tapes and convieniently sending them out when the NeoCons get in trouble or danger of losing their hold of fear over the people of this country. The release of this tape now after W's comments yesterday is too coincidental to be taken seriously.

[biwee]

The same people who are sending us a new OBL message are the same people who are behind the crimes of 911. If you believe a 100 ton Boeing 757 crashed into the Pentagon, where is the wreckage?? Did those two massive jet engines weighing tons, and fabricated with special metals, just vaporize?? The 911 Commision report is a lie. Just ask Zelikow.

[gregjones]

They are also the same people (aka Bush Regime) who had the so-called 'military experts' on cable news pushing for the Iraq War (some 4500 appearances) and giving false information to the American People via cable news ( the accomplice) which Arianna is bravely trying to get the story out. America has been duped for close to 8 years. But thankfully, we're waking up ! Keep in mind folks....when this invasion ends.....a loooooot of people wil stop making big money. (Halliburton,Blackwater,etc.) Not to mention THE OIL !

[thegreatgiginthesky]

At least he is questioning the government. What are you doing?

[landmine]

I simply doubt all these messages all these years are really him. Especially now.
Just too convenient, don't you think?
He's going to post a message that helps bush and israel, just when they need it to support their invasion of iran.

he administration and israel tactics have been smelling bad for years. This smells no different.
