Bin Laden Calls For War On Musharraf

Al Qaeda Leader Says Pakistani's Should Rise Against President For His Alliance To U.S.

(CBS/AP)  Al Qaeda leaders have railed against Musharraf and urged Pakistanis to rise up against him in past messages - but the call from bin Laden now may be aimed at adding weight to the rallying cry. The Pakistani president has come under four assassination attempts since 2002.

Bin Laden and al-Zawahri are thought to be hiding in the lawless Pakistan-Afghanistan border region, where many analysts believe they have rebuilt al Qaeda's core leadership.

Thursday's other video underlined al Qaeda's growing technical sophistication in its videos, interspersing al-Zawahri's speech with scenes from the Sept. 11 attacks, interviews with experts and officials taken from Western and Arab broadcasters, and old footage and audio of bin Laden.

The tone was triumphal, with al-Zawahri calling for attacks on French and Spanish interests in North Africa and on U.N. and African peacekeepers expected to deploy in Darfur.

"What they claim to be the strongest power in the history of mankind is today being defeated in front of the Muslim vanguards of jihad six years after the two raids on New York and Washington," al-Zawahri said.

The video included footage of al Qaeda's leader in Afghanistan, Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed, meeting with a senior Taliban commander. In contrast to past videos showing al Qaeda and Taliban fighters in rough desert terrain, Abu al-Yazeed and the commander were shown sitting in a field surrounded by trees as a jihad anthem played, extolling the virgins that will meet martyrs in paradise.

Abu al-Yazeed said al Qaeda's ties with the Taliban were strengthening. The Taliban commander, Dadullah Mansoor, vowed to "target the infidels in Afghanistan and outside Afghanistan" and to "focus our attacks, Allah willing, on the coalition forces in Afghanistan."

Another clip in the video showed Abu Musab Abdulwadood, the leader of Algeria's main Islamic insurgency movement, addressing bin Laden and vowing that "our swords are unsheathed."

Al-Zawahri called on supporters in North Africa to "cleanse the Maghrib (western region) of Islam of the children of France and Spain. ... Stand with your sons the mujahedeen against the Crusaders and their children."

He denounced Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for agreeing to an international peacekeeping force in Darfur, saying, "the free mujahid (holy warrior) sons of Sudan must arrange jihad against the forces invading Sudan in the same way their brothers arranged the jihadi resistance in Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia."

The video also included old, but previously unreleased footage of bin Laden, according to IntelCenter, a U.S. counterterrorism group that monitors militant messages.

The images show bin Laden, with a beard streaked with gray and white cloth draped over his head, in front of a map showing the Middle East and South and Central Asia.

He condemns Arab Gulf governments that have allied themselves with the United States, saying they have "sold the Islamic nation, colluded with the enemies of Islam and backed the infidels."

Gee, I''m really sorry Bin LAden hasn''t got the latest camera equipment, not to mention his electricity is probably not the best either. I know all of you extreme left liberals would love CBS quality footage. Maybe you could take up a collection and send him a generator ?

So many of you far left liberals have backed the wrong horse. What''s the matter - did you lose your $2 bet that Osama would win ?

So tell me, how do you explain the fact that nearly all of the bad aspects in Iraq are starting to reverse, if not 50-75% better ? Surely it wasn''t the Surge was it ? Nah, musta been vacation time for Al Qaeda.

So seven-pesos, swim back across the river to your homeland, prinzowhales go drown your Irish woes in another pint, and brianbwb - why don''t you tell us your plan up front. If it is plausable, I bet we could get you the money (obviously that''s your only motivation anyway.)

[prinzowhales]

Its good to see that Lambchop, Charlie Horse, Hush Puppy and the other sock puppets have new friends-- Osama bin TooFunny, Ayman al-NotToWorry. Perhaps it would be better if US intelligence turned their operation over to Shari Lewis''s daughter, Mallory--we see their lips moving every time Osama and Ayman open their mouths.

Notice the difference when a real professional puppeteer works a sock puppet...

In one of the Osama''s last performances his lips stopped moving a few minutes into his gig--do you really think these guys are going to make it in Vegas with a ventriloquist act where the puppets lips don''t move?! Good thing the CIA only plays to the mentally challenged supporters of the War Pig regime.

Bin Laden Calls For War On Musharraf

You mean that someone smart enough to evade capture by the "best military that money can buy", and the most corrupt CIA in it''s history, is also stupid enough to tip his hand and broadcast his intentions to the world?

If this story is true, then it is obvious that Bin Laden is still working for Bush, supplying him with justification for killing ever more people in illegal wars for his personal profit.

If Bush really wants Bin Laden so bad, give me half the reward up front, I could find him in two months or less. Then I want to be reimbursed for my expenses.

[colonieny]

Bush is a true Progressive: He wants to bring democracy and freedom to the people of IRAQ, who have spent a life time under the cruel dictatorship of SADDAM. Just like JFK !
All you cookie liberals are really off shoots of the red commies attempt to take over America inthe late 40 and 50s. Your teachers teachers were probably secret Commies! The things you do not know ! But, you go on without critcal thinking, just spewing answers based upon DOGMA, even when the questions and answers require deep thought and analysis. It is really odd .

[red164]

As long as Carl Rove is nowhere to be seen the American people should expect Bin Laden videos to pop up now and again, maybe Rove can get Bin Laden a segment on the Hannity/Colmes show.

Latest Bin Laden Tape: Another of the NeoCons'' "Greatest Hits

Why doesn''t any reporter ask the question, is Bin Laden really alive, because reports going as far back as DEC 2001 had him dead. So many oddities in the latest release also.

The September 7 video shows bin Laden dressed in a white hat, white shirt and yellow sweater. Krawetz notes "this is the same clothing he wore in the 2004-10-29 video. In 2004 he had it unzipped, but in 2007 he zipped up the bottom half. Besides the clothing, it appears to be the same background, same lighting, and same desk. Even the camera angle is almost identical." Krawetz also notes that "if you overlay the 2007 video with the 2004 video, his face has not changed in three years--only his beard is darker and the contrast on the picture has been adjusted."

the audio edits. Krawetz says "the new audio has no accompanying ''live'' video and consists of multiple audio recordings." References to current events are made only during the still frame sections and after splices within the audio track." And there are so many splices that I cannot help but wonder if someone spliced words and phrases together. I also cannot rule out a vocal imitator during the frozen-frame audio. The only way to prove that the audio is really bin Laden is to see him talking in the video," Krawetz says.

Another bin Laden video was released on September 11 was a still image of the black-bearded bin Laden

Old BL better leave musharraf alone. He is the only one protecting him.

[ajmarine1]

LOLOLOLOL AJMarine! Surely if Bush told him to say all that stuff, there''''d be a speech error in there SOMEWHERE! (just kiddin''''!)

Posted by sbbm

Yes, Bush is not the best public speaker I have ever heard, but Joe Biden(SP?) could give him a run for his money with some of the things that come out of his mouth.

[patriotic9]

Why is Bin Laden still free to build Al Qaeda, plan new attacks and even be so bold as to put out press releases? We are borrowing billions from China and pisssing it away in Iraq while Al Qaeda is growing in power and influence. Why?

Posted by micma at 06:39 PM : Sep 20, 2007


Because bush said "Saddam Hussain is the man who once tried to kill my DADDY".

Tell me again how this is an (insert whisper her) inside job?

Didn''t you know, Bush told him to say all that stuff?

They got a weekly show now?

[missingamerica]

Don''t sweat it, Gen. Musharraf. My President told me we''re fighting all the terrorists in Iraq so they couldn''t fight us over here; certainly they don''t have any to spare to make your life miserable.

[feelfree1]

More CBS pooaganda about "al-CIA''da", I see.

Was it IntelCenter, or the SITE Institute that sent you this idiotic garbage?

Re: "The video was released Thursday on Islamic militant Web sites and first reported by Laura Mansfield"

What is the name of this alledged "Islamic militant" website? Why are they allowed to maintain a website, if they are truly "terrorists"?

How do you know that this Laura Mansfield is an "expert" on anything, other than BS? Because she said so?

###

At any rate, whether it is Zawahiri, bin Laden, the Beanie Babies, or Abu-Mossad-al-Zarqawi brought back from the dead, again, to deliver this message, I whole-heartedly agree, that the nuclear-armed military dictatorship of Pervez Musharraf is a very dangerous menace, and needs to go.

Would CBS please hire a proofreader?
