RIYADH (Reuters) - President Barack Obama arrived in Saudi Arabia for talks with King Abdullah on Wednesday on the eve of a much-anticipated speech in Cairo the U.S. leader hopes will help repair America's damaged image in the Islamic world.

After an airport welcome in Riyadh, Obama traveled to King Abdullah's farm where the two men were to hold talks expected to cover the Arab-Israeli conflict, U.S. overtures to Iran and oil.

Shortly after Obama arrived Al Jazeera television aired a recording by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in which he said the U.S. president had planted seeds for "revenge and hatred" toward the United States in the Muslim world.

Bin Laden said Obama was continuing in the steps of his predecessor George W. Bush and told Americans to be prepared for the consequences of the White House's policies.

It's nerve-racking enough that he's going to Egypt without seeing the words, 'Presidet Obama', 'blast' and 'bin Laden' in the same sentence.

what a horrible choice of words in using the word 'blast'

That would indicate that Osama could be alive.

Otherwise, it's BULLSHIT!

The article is weak, at best.

On edit: babylonsister posted a link to a CBS article that says it was audio only. Reuters/WaPo sucks.

Stop calling Al Jazeera, and that fake Arabic accent isn't fooling anybody.

:spray:

"Is it Osama Bin Laden?" OR "Is it an Actor?"

Not unlike the TDK corporation? "We don't make Osama Bin Laden, we make Osama Bin Laden BETTER." :evilgrin:

PsyOps sponsored movie in the near future? :evilgrin:

IMO, Osama's corpse is continuing to rot in a cave somewhere in the mountains along the Afghani-Pakistani border.

However, even if Osama Bin Laden's body has been found, keeping this him "ALIVE" in the minds of the American populace is very useful for the Pentagon's ongoing propaganda efforts supporting perpetual wars.

It "sets the stage" - PRIMES the populace for ample fear-mongering potential, if, God Forbid, anything happens here in the States.

When you hear a threat which is "probably" made by bin Laden, just remember that he's "probably" dead. Also think about who benefits from your believing he's alive?

Very nicely done, Mr. President.

which I have highly suspected for a number of years.

Geez...

ObL is just a natural consequence of the Saudi Arabian Wahhabi fundamentalist Islam. Saudi oil money funds Wahhabi schools and mosques in Pakistan, Somalia, and other trouble spots throughout the Islamic world with the objective of converting all Islam to their fundamentalist version of Sunni Islam.

We should be allying ourselves with Shiite Iran in order to counterbalance the Saudis.

The Saudis created the monster and call themselves our "friends" (friends of our SUV-laden, oil addicted culture maybe, $$$$$).

You're out of your fucking mind.

Bill O'Reilly is to the Tiller murder?

I like the analogy.
