Groundhog Day II: The Vengeance
The London-based Arabic daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported that "information sources close to Al-Qaâida said that the organization, headed by Osama bin Laden, is gearing up for a big operation to coincide with Eid Al-Adha. The "holiday" falls on February 2. Word is thatâs when Osama will poke his head out of his cave. If he sees his shadow, four thousand more years of terror for the free world. "The information coordinator for the Sahab Institute, which is associated with Al-Qaâida, said that a new videotape of bin Laden will be circulated shortly before the holiday. He added in an interview with the Internet site Al-Anbaa [The News] that the videotape will surface in conjunction with âa great event that will shake the region.â Just like the Bill Murray movie: trapped in an endless loop of monotony. What good are threats when they arenât made good on? "The coordinator explained that he had an agreement with Al-Jazeera by which it was committed to broadcast any videotape that the Sahab Institute provides about Al-Qaâida. He pointed out that the Institute would sever its relations with the station if it refused to broadcast a videotape, and reiterated that âthe station is obligated to broadcast any videotape we send to it.â "If you donât show our propaganda anymore, we will be forced to stop sending it to you! Now, be a good little inflammatory Jew-hating network and put this on the air!" And so, yet another Al-Jismeera "exclusive." "The coordinator, identified by the nickname âAbi Osamaâ [Osamaâs Father], added: âWe duplicate and edit the videotapes of the organization in special ways, and then send them to news channels, including Al-Jazeera, in response to orders issued to us.â Osamaâs dad? Itâs a shame when a parent outlives his child, no? Also, nice slipup on dadâs part -- their method is to "edit" in "special ways." Itâs almost an acknowledgment that all these "new" tapes are made up of old footage spliced into tape of some other nutbag spouting threats. Guess Osama wonât be poking his head out of that cave after all. Unless they drag out whatâs left of his corpse. Posted by: growler 2003-12-11 |
