'Bin Laden' attacks Arab leaders
Source: BBC News

A new audio message said to be from al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden accuses moderate Arab leaders of conspiring with the West against Muslims.

Bin Laden, who has been America's most wanted man since the 9/11 attacks in 2001, also renews his attacks on Israel in the recording attributed to him.

It was broadcast by the Qatari-based TV channel al-Jazeera which did not say how it had been obtained.

Correspondents say the voice sounds similar to previous Bin laden tapes.

1. Actually he's probably calling out ALL Arab leaders
Since, well, all of them have sold out their people in exchange for big bucks and defense projects from the West

4. Bin Laden Is dead
Has been for at least 8 years now.

"Correspondents say the voice sounds similar to previous Bin laden tapes".

Is there proof? But who needs proof? Certainly not the American citizens. We believe everything our government tells us. Nothing to see here but fear. The boogieman is back. Another reason to re-investigate 9/11.

We will do our part to keep our country from fucking up the mideast, just don't fuck with us.

20. If he's going to fuck with someone, I'd rather it wasn't us. Let's get off
our oil addiction as quickly as we can so we don't have to get up in their face, and so they won't have to get up in ours. If they want to quarrel among themselves, that's their business.

the less oil we need, the less important the politics of that region. It's time we look inward and clean up our act.

bin Laden wanted us out of Saudi Arabia, we did that. It's over, let's get the fuck out of their land and let them settle their differences.

11. At least 8 years?
You mean he died when Clinton was prez?

I thought he was almost caught at Tora Bora in late fall 2001, 7 1/2 years ago. Were they just carrying his casket?

22. we're being defrauded on a massive scale, by cowardly sissies
rightwing reactionaries. In order to defraud a nuke armed society, the USA/West, the pig must use the popular media to create false understanding of truth, they must fukk up the truth, and the news media does this. The problem is- we need a news media (press) and the freer the better, but the pig exploits free press to , for example, publish the cartoon about Barack the Monkee being shot so the 'stimulus' bill needs new promoters etc. it's common knowlege that a) the people are being defrauded and b) the mainstream newsmedia is complicit in the fraud and c) the newsmedia is by/for special interests who cannot stop self destructive behavior... iow, we need to BAN rightwing media from public airwaves. Or else the planet will die...period

14. He's either dead or Bush failed to get our "biggest enemy."
Bush didn't produce a body so that says he failed regardless.

I believe he's dead and Bush didn't bother to produce a body to keep a boogieman out there.

10. Very troubling ...to be sure
These people (spooks) operate outside of all laws and are so deeply undercover that even the CIC or DCA may not know who or what they're up to.
I do know that they like turmoil and can do great harm.

Glad to know I'm not the only one worried about this bunch.

21. I have it on good authority that Osama is hiding amongst Iran's centrifuges.
High-level sources. That's all I'm willing to say. I wouldn't lie to you. Neither would your government.
