Osama, the CIA Agent
It's fairly sad that I think that this tape was released more in time for the "report on the surge" than some bland 9/11 anniversary nonsense. Osama is still a farce, working for our government and stoking the flames by saying things (paraphrase of course):
"I can't believe you'd elect that Bush fellow a second term, you're like totally wrong for doing that!"
"That gave him a mandate!"
"You should totally become Muslims and give up that Jesus fellow, he's a douche!"
What impeccable timing this Bin Laden fellow has, following on the heels of the announcement that the Bin Laden Group reaaaaaally doesn't like Osama and they've severed ties and pinky-promises they aren't his BFF let alone his relative. Bin Laden's tapes also manage to hit the airs in time for the '04 election and swing that vote as well as come in time for essentially an announcement that will be dour in terms of the war in Iraq which will face much opposition in the Senate for the first real time.
Amazing. It's almost like it's a propaganda game with the opposite intent. Hmm, fishy? Yes.
