#1 Is this a roundabout way of saying that maybe this nutjob is at room temperature somewhere in a cave in Tora Bora?

#4 "April or May" is probably based on the local conditions. Hard to say what year.

#5  Come on guys, we all know that they're both resting comfortably in a Paris suburb, in a villa owned by President Jockstrap.

#6 He can't afford to move an inch from the basement he's hiding in. He's pinned down and the next time he moves, it's over.

#7 A leading French terrorism expert cautioned Thursday against taking the latest Osama bin Laden video at face value, saying it was largely an edited collection of old footage and sound tracks that have already been aired.

It was necessary for a "expert" to say this? Any Schmoe could have looked at the footage and realized that it was recycled.

#8 In related news Elvis Presley has released a new tape. The tape shows Elvis is trim and young and healthy looking, indicating that he has been relaxing and clean of drugs since his 'death' in the 70s.

Al Jazeera experts think he is in or around Cuba (because of the vintage age of the cars in the film), or in a small Nevada town (because of the desert backgrounds, and casinos).

When asked for comment Donald Rumsfield indicated that it was likely that the footage was an outtake from the old movie Viva Las Vegas and that even if he was alive Elvis would be 68 years old by now.

#9 Bomb-a-rama, I can assure that so far french continous news channels such as LCI are broadcasting the tape w/o doubting its authenticity, and that the left-leaning I télé commentary add this is a coup and yet an another damaging blow to the US credibility.

#10 I think Jimi Hendricks has released 17 albums since he died (only one before he died). Maybe death was a good career move for OBL too.

#12 Anonymous, how could it a be a blow to US credibility when the US never claimed he was dead.

#14 Any bets that Al Jazeera pasted together the tape together themselves for a 'scoop'?

#16 I saw the video last night. "Deep Thoughts By Osama Bin Laden". Looked like him and his buddy were trolling some Pakistani rest stop for "new friends".

#17 It has to be a oldie. Bin Laden would never go out in daylight, especially when we have satelites, planes, and menm on the ground looking for him. We probably have men in Pakistan searching, but we won't acknowledge it.

#19 "Deep Thoughts By Osama Bin Laden"
Omg he has deep thoughts ? Just thought him as shallow as the other retards who think repression is a problem to be solved by murder . Lesson leant .. spent your inherited millions on being a stoopid fuckwit . If only I had millions to spend on my problems . First i would have a good diet and then feed the 5000 and pacify the situation blah blah blah , but i guess as he hadnt had a good stint in prison he wouldnt know that .
