Mike's Blog Round Up
By Mike Finnigan Thursday Sep 06, 2007 10:00amShakesville: Publicity shy, cave-dwelling killer Osama bin Laden, without a release for nearly three years, is scheduled to hit the charts again with a new video in which he plans to show off a new beard style to go along with what many are calling a new "funky-fresh" call for Jihad.

Scwanshtuker.
One thing is certain this country is not going to be the same Ol' USA we bacame accustomed to since the end of WW2 this next century.
Everyone is going to die off and it's going to be all new players in whole new ballgame.
The Grepse of Wrath
Was a nice run while it lasted.
Sounds like the White house is mounting a major PR campaign to ramp up to this. Nothing like a good dose of Osama Bin Boogeyman to make Americans scared enouigh to approve some more wars and hand shred up another chunk of the Constitution.
They can't find him, but there seems to be a lot of "pre-release" chatter for his next blockbuster.
Hell, why don't they attach a special intro segment with Dubya saying something like "if what you see next scares you (and it SHOULD) then please support my War in Iraq and also support my new "product" due for release in 2008 - the Iran War!"
***This important message brought to you by our sponsors Blackwater, Exxon, Bechtel, and Halliburton remember kids - it's cool to fuel! ***
I can't believe a word of anything this administration says. Can any of you remember when they have spoken the truth about anything of importance?
OBL releases a new video.
Will he be wearing lots of bling, gold capped teeth, striking arthritic looking poses, while hot pants wearing hoochies grind their junk filled trunks into the camera lens?
And by his photos, it looks as though our favourite boogeyman has found 'Just for Men' at some stop and rob in Tora Bora.
Or black Rit dye.
Bin Laden has to be going through a midlife crisis. Now that he's dyed his hair and beard, look for him to be riding a nifty little brand-new sportsdonkey!
Ha ha - when does OBL's new video DROP? ( here's a clue - when the CIA releases it from Langley )
OT (does that matter here?) But I wanted to share some good news.
Check it out: Senate votes to repeal Global Gag Rule on family planning:

See how your Senator voted. Strange, but although 41 opposed, they didn't hold up the vote on cloture.
Does anyone really think obl is still alive ??
It really could'nt be that they are just bringing out the boogie to keep the insanity going, could it?
listen this will never end until the oil companies have bled Iraq and the US to death!!
Dood @ 10:
Precisely. I don't know anyone who is actually still fooled by those faked OBL videos anymore. They've been thoroughly debunked as being fake, and now they're just getting lazy about it. That pic they have out on the net now isn't even close to looking like OBL, his nose is different, the beard has been dyed (they have Just for Men in Afghanistan?), and I guarantee you when the video is released, that it will show him using his right hand to make gestures with. (He's left handed if you didn't know.)
Lovely timing again by the way... a new Zogby poll shows that 51% of Americans want a new investigation into 9/11, and then next week they're having a massive 9/11 truth event in NYC. Not to mention the massive failings of the situation in Iraq, which were shown by the GAO report. Oh, can't forget good ol' Larry Craig. Nothing will take the media off of real stories like an OBL tape.
Go out online and Google "Fake bin laden tape" and look at the first few links. The CIA must think we're all idiots or something.
Hey, why did Osama's video go straight to the CIA instead of him releasing it on the internet? If he wanted to get a message across to the American people, he knows better than to send it through our government.
That just doesn't make sense.
Dood @ 10:
Precisely. I don't know of anyone who actually falls for those al-queda tapes anymore. They've been thouroughly debunked several times now, and now the CIA is just getting lazy about it. The pic that is on the web from this new video shows a man that doesn't even look like OBL anymore. His nose is very different, he's somehow found "Just for Men" in the Afghan desert, and I'm sure once the video comes out, it'll show him using his right hand to make gestures or write. (He's left handed if you didn't already know that).
Go out on google and type "Fake bin laden video" and check out the first few links. I'm not just making this stuff up here...
Curtilingus @ 14:
Because he is an agent of the CIA?
Breaking news! There will be no Iraq Report! Who could've seen this coming? Do I need to keep holding my breath?
http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070907/NATIO...
So let me see if I have this right, the new tape is already in the hands of the CIA? I thought it was expected to be released soon by whomever made it. How did it get to the CIA? Did someone hand it over? Mail it to them? Email it to them? How did it get there?
Weaseldog @ 16:
maybe this is the real reason-found this clip at DU.

miss_kitty @ 8:
REEEEEEE-jected!!!
Patty, I watched the video that you linked and now I'm sitting here crying. I don't which I feel more, sad for what this country has become or afraid of what this country has become. Never in my life did I think I would see something like that on the streets of America.
Tony Snow's replacement?

thanks for the link weasel dog. Iraq report is just an oral given in front of class. No assignment in writing to turn in.
petraeus will be graded on presentation and elocution, but not content.
Curtilingus @ 22:
Yeah, I'm not content with it either.
Which will sink lower today the stock market or the administration's credibility?
thanks for the round-up Mike!
also, might i mention a documentary i saw this past weekend: No End In Sight.
it was very well done, and extremely informative. i mention it b/c jerry paul "it was him!" bremer wrote an op-ed about the disbanding of the iraqi army that seems to be *prepared to be shocked* chock full of mis and disinformation (see, lies).
see the movie, if you can, and NEVER let bremer be forgiven for his failures.
Bremer did not fail. he did just as he was instructed: sabotage the rebuilding of Iraq for continued unrest in the middle east.
Could you imagine where we'd be if Iraq really was stabilized four years ago? The US wouldn't have any excuse to be there or to march into Iran and Syria.
Iraqs failures were planned and coordinated by the government. You have to try to fuck it up this bad.
pissed off patricia @ 20:
Patricia-sorry if I upset you.. I only hope that the news media pays attention to the lose of free press and speech and the one news person arrested files charges against the dc police. We will see what happens on September 15th.
How obviously convenient for the Rethugs. that they picked this particular time to show a Bin Laden tape sending a message or threat, even though Americans get that it's only another meaningless terror scare.
Some fine debunking there. And there can't be enough when it comes to the White-House authored "Petraeus" report, and all Bush and Pentagon war reporting.
The Weekly Whip-Around
Yesterday and today are damn good Round Ups.
The chimpy factor plays well in calculating how well the "surge" is going. This bullshit has to stop.
