Bin Laden & Al Qaeda
Where al Qaeda operates, who's been caught, how they're financed and a timeline of attacks on Americans.
The SITE intelligence group said the al Qaeda leader will discuss Iraq and the group the Islamic State of Iraq, a longtime foe of the Iraqi government and U.S. forces.
SITE, which provides counter-terrorism information to government and private groups, said the announcement of the impending message was posted to Islamic militant Web sites Thursday.
The posting said the message - titled `The way to contain conspiracies" - would last 56 minutes. It did not say when it would be released, but such ads usually precede the actual message by one to three days.
The authenticity of the posting could not immediately be determined. But SITE said it was signed by As-Sahab, the production branch that releases al Qaeda messages. The Internet message did not say if bin Laden's statement would be in a video or just audio form.
The message would mark the sixth public statement by the terror leader this year. Audio or video communiques were sent over the Internet on Sept. 7, Sept. 11, Sept. 20, Oct. 22 and Nov. 29. A video on Sept. 7 was his first in three years and was issued to mark the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Al Qaeda has dramatically stepped up its messages - a pace seen as a sign of its increasing technical sophistication and the relative security felt by its leadership.
The terror group has also been campaigning to reach a broader audience, announcing that its No. 2 figure, Ayman al-Zawahiri, would respond to journalists' questions sent over the Internet. The deadline for the queries was Jan. 16.

See all 227 CommentsI guess Bush needs his bogeyman to keep the American people good and frightened.
We are much more willing to give up our god-given freedoms and rights when we think Osama''s going to get us.
I take it both of you clowns have been to Afghanistan?
100''s thousands dead
can''t bush put this
babay osama to bed ?
"gunownerdan or FloydZepp
I take it both of you clowns have been to Afghanistan?"
Have you?
Are you happy that GW Bush decided to divert our military away from their real mission of finding Bin Laden?
Are you happy that Bin Laden is still free 6 years after GW Bush told us he would him to justice?
Are you happy that GW Bush once claimed that he doesn''t care where Bin Laden is and that he wasn''t a priority?
Now if OBL says he was the supplier of MLB steroids... now THAT would be some news to watch!!! ^^

When someone claims that Bin Laden is dead ya''ll LIBERALS start stomping and snortting and going-on about why President Bush ain''t concerned about Bin Laden.
Lucky for you LIBERALS that God decided to fasten your head facing to the front on your neck, or ya''ll would kill yourselves with self-induced whiplash!
Dumbarse, pea-brained, wanna have it both ways, Liberal fuggin'' lemmings.
screw u 2 - old faart!

As usual, the Great Emperor Bush II has no time to think about the ravings of Bin Laden or anyone from Al Qeada, especially since he can''t find him after looking for him for a few years. Critics of the Emperor wonder what he would (or wouldn''t) have done if he had been Emperor when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on 12/7/1941?
At any rate, the Great Emperor Bush II has more important things to worry about, specifically how and why the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre TWICE this year!!!
SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!
He doesn''t believe dubya''s rhetoric any more than most of us do, apparently.....

Maybe that''s why dubya never even mentions bin Laden any more after promising to get him "dead or alive", eh?
Re: "The SITE intelligence group said the al Qaeda leader will discuss Iraq and the group the Islamic State of Iraq, a longtime foe of the Iraqi government and U.S. forces."
And how would the folks at the SITE Institute know what "Osama" is going to say in this new "message"?
And why is it so important for Western media to offer advanced promotion of the "releases" from "Osama" and others?
Simple. The SITE Institute is most likely producing these tapes, along with their partners at IntelCenter, as a mechanism for justifying the continuance of the moronic and self-defeating war, and as a method of smearing the opposition.
Ooga-Booga!
Be a good American, and don''t forget to wet yourself over the pending message from the scary sock-puppet shown in the graphic!

I would like to know how they manage to always get advance warning of whatever he is going to say.
yongamerica,
Re: "Remember how you seemingly froth at the mouth insisting al Qaeda isn''t in Iraq?"
I recall pointing out that these releases from "Osama" look like obvious fakes to me, and that there is not a single item of verifiable evidence that demonstrates the presence of "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq", but I don''t remember "frothing" about it.
Re: "Well here is your illustrious leader giving a rallying speech to your brothers at arms."
I don''t know how you got the impression that former(?) CIA operative, and probably long-dead Osama, was my leader, but I certainly don''t follow him, nor would I follow the sock-puppet black propaganda in these fake "releases" from SITE and IntelCenter.
It does sem as though these propaganda tapes are pretty important to you though. Why is that?
Re: "Be sure to take notes so you can let us know how they are doing over there."
The disgraceful and unjustifiable efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan have been mounting and crippling defeats for the U.S. so far, and this is plain to see for anyone who has been paying attention over the past several years.
Re: "Terror Monitoring Group Says Al Qaeda Leader Will Discuss The Islamic State Of Iraq"
This seems to indicate the nature of the "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq" ruse right in this heading. Notice that the "Osama" sock puppet is preparing a message about "The Islamic State Of Iraq" and NOT "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq", as this latter group appears to be a Made-in-USA hoax, aimed at demonizing the perfectly legitimate armed resistance groups in Iraq, and supplying a justification for the illegal war against Iraq to continue, where no such justification exists.

Fornicario,
Re: "I would like to know how they manage to always get advance warning of whatever he is going to say."
You are not alone. I think that many of us would like to know the answer to this question.

ozilot,
Re: "I fail to understand how anyone, let alone fanatics, would follow a coward who spends most of his time running and hiding!"
Agreed. This appears to be among the reasons that the Bush regime is apparently contracting these ridiculous messages from the SITE Institute and IntelCenter- to leave us with this impression.
The Democrats seem to be eager to promote this ruse, since they see it as an opportunity to slam the Bush regime''s "failures".
As usual, the reactionary Democrats are playing right into the hands of the Bush regime, once again.

Possibly because he''s demonstrated that he is able to outsmart the world''s best intelligence agencies year after year after year?

How pathetic and telling that the remaining handful of Bush regime dead-enders see "al-Qaeda" everywhere they look, and insist that those who do not cower in fear of these fake tapes, or who do not support the Bush terror network, must be "al-Qaeda".
This is a good example demonstrating why these bobble-heads are so easily fooled.
Hi "formrusmcsgt",
Did you know that one of the total of TWO PEOPLE that comprise the entire SITE Institute, is an Iraqi expatriate named Rita Katz? Did you know that her father was killed by the Saddam regime for being an Israeli spy? Did you know that this woman graduated from Tel Aviv University, and that this entire 2 person "Institute" has only been in existence for 5 years?
www.siteinstitute.org/mission.html
In light of this, does this "Institute" sound like a reliable source of information?
Right, everyone who doesn''t agree with you is a "Bush Regime Dead Ender."
You are living in the land of make believe. I don''t support Bush. But I''m smart enough to know that the world of terror Bush talks about is out there.
Just sit safe in your little home...

About as reliable as anything that has dubya''s moniker associated with it.

Re: "But I''m smart enough to know that the world of terror Bush talks about is out there."
But not smart enough to avoid being fooled by a black-bearded, digitized, sock-puppet of a long-dead former(?) CIA operative, apparently.
formrusmcsgt,
Re: "About as reliable as anything that has dubya''''s moniker associated with it."
Agreed. Happy New Year to you and yours!

So, they can get accurate detail about videotape plotlines, yet no useful data on saving lives? Reminds me of an expensive TV Guide.
yongamerica,
As I have mentioned many, many, times before, I am not a supporter of Islam, of Judaism, of Catholicism, of Hinduism, or of any other religion/cult.
I suspect that this does not/will not matter to you, since smearing the overwhelming majority of us who are dissenters and critics of your mass-murderous and anti-American/anti-human Decider, is the only trick remaining in your otherwise empty sack.

Again we can note that there is never, ever, an author named in the articles relating to these fake "Osama" and "Zawahiri" releases from SITE.
Why is that?
