Iraq is new battlefront against US, says tape

A taped message purporting to be from the al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden declares for the first time that Iraq is the new battlefront in the jihad against the US.

US investigators were on Sunday examining the audio tape, in which the speaker threatens Americans, British and all those who assist the US administration in its occupation.

Now, is it just me? Or does this strike anyone else as being odd... I mean, Bush says this, and Osama agrees... Thus far Bush has met many demands by Osamsa (primarily moving the US military out of Saudi Arabia) and now it seems they're working in conjunction again. :tinfoilhat:

1. how convenient that (once AGAIN) Osama and Bush scratch each other's backs

just in time to help sell the misAdmin's new Iraq justification

so tell me this, Bush, you f*cking dumbass: now that Osama is calling Iraq the new terrorist battlefront, can you STILL say the Iraqi people are better off??

:shrug:

3. lol, but that's just cra-zeee...

but just to be safe, let's not pay too much attention to this, Bush might get mad at us. It weakens our resolve and give pause to our friends...

4. Question

Would it benefit Bush more to prove Osama dead or to manufacture fake audio tapes of Osama threatening Americans?

5. I think this tape answers the question...

bin Laden is much more useful to Bush roaming free and making tapes that support his policy of endless war. Who wants to bet that Syria will be the new front by this time next year?
