Split Screen: Obama, Osama and the Teflon Statue
News that Osama Bin Forgotten arose from an undisclosed location to spin the media at the moment President Barack Obama arrived in the Middle East, the day after a statue to the Teflon President was enshrined, brought to mind another odd juxtaposition.



Osama bin Laden emerges to attack Barack Obama for ‘antagonising Muslims’
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article6426443.ece
Osama bin Laden emerged from the shadows yesterday to deliver a scathing attack on President Obama minutes after the US leader landed in Saudi Arabia to begin his landmark visit to the Middle East.
Bin Laden’s message came a day after his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, surfaced to attack the White House’s new incumbent. Middle East analysts say that the two tapes indicate growing concern in al-Qaeda’s leadership about Mr Obama’s arrival on the world stage when their influence over the increasingly splintered terror network is waning.

Analysts observed that al-Qaeda’s lifeblood was nurtured by anti-Americanism and Mr Bush’s War on Terror. Now the terror network is faced with a US leader whose father was Muslim, whose middle name is Hussein and who is taking a firm stand against Israel over the building of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Polls show that Mr Obama is far more popular in the region than Mr Bush ever was.

"Reagan campaign met secretly with Iranian officials to delay the release of the hostages until after the presidential election."

"Iranians who were guarding the hostages had their stopwatches out, they were waiting for a particular moment to let those hostages run into the field of vision of the photographers who were all there waiting to take their picture .... "

11/11/1991 Larry King - The Reagan-Iran conspiracy - interviews Larry Sick, author of October Surprise, former Ford and Carter official.

"Release the hostages to the Republicans and you will be rewarded."

"The evidence indicates that the Iranians arrived in early October, really wanting to release the hostages rather quickly, in three or four weeks and were persuaded to hold onto them even longer, and I don't think that's fair.... In a thing like this, it's worth sticking your neck out, b/c if people get away with it and they think they win, and nobody calls em on it, it's just going to mean somebody wants to do it again and somebody has to say something and I'm saying it for better or worse."

"Ironically their freedom flight out of Tehran, with cries of Death to America surrounding them, came at almost the same time that American the Beautiful was being sung at the conclusion of President Reagan's Inaugural."

App. 7:30, Walter Cronkite:
"Good Evening. 41 minutes after RR was sworn in as this country's 40th president, the American hostages in Iran began their flight to freedom."

2. Yep - amazing how the timing always suits the RWs
The cover-up of the Bhutto interview is mind-blowing particularly since she was assassinated shortly after.

In searching (looking for split screen I remember from RR inaugural) found Moyer's "The Secret Government" on Youtube.
