Is there really an Osama bin Laden ?\n\nIs there really a fool out there who believes that a bearded man, spending time in the caves of Afghanistan by doing Namaz five times a day with comrades who don't speak a word of any language other than Arabic or Poshtu, sitting in a country which in 2002 didn't have ISD or internet could realy coordinate a suicide attack from three places of USA to two different targets, all synchronized to split-second accuracy, evading the FBI and so many other intelligences, and nobody found a trace of this all-time-great military management network which surpassed even the Japanese during the world war II ?\n\nSure it was not the work of some US-inhouse fanatics, whom the Government can not catch and so should have a myth to cover up the failure ?\n\nAnd now this man is giving a monthly update of his tirade using the federal spokesperson as his own ?

What does it matter if it was 10 or 6000000...The fact is the war is based on a lie...perhaps its true most of the killing is Muslim against Muslim but we put put the fuel on the fire because we were told by experts that this is exactly what was going to happen! We did not listen and some of us are still not !\nWhen will it stop?..When the American people take to the streets and say no more killing in our name!!\n\nI also hope that some Americans stop harassment of our foreign\nvisitors when they have a grammar or spelling mistake....There is often more courage in their questions than our Answers!

David, glad to see you are thinking well at such a young age!\n\nIraq had nothing to do with terrorism before the invasion.\n\nIn fact, had Osama bin Laden been in Iraq prior to the removal of Saddam, he would have done everything he could have done to kill him as well.  Osama was not trusted or liked by Saddam.  Fanatics are a threat to all nation's, not just free ones.\n\nThe terrorists that bin Laden leads were OUR ally in the Afghani war against the former Soviet Union.  We trained and supplied them during that conflict.  That is why they are so effective at attacking us now.\n\nThey didn't turn their attention towards us until we placed a permanent base in Saudi Arabia.  That base, in Riyadh, was near Mecca and Medina, two of the holiest cities in the Muslim faith. They saw it as an affront to their faith that infidels (Non-Muslims) were so close to those cities.\n\nThe Iraqi battlefield has degenerated into civil war and insurgency, not necessarily terrorists.  \n\nIf we were occupied by  foreign force, we would be doing anything we could to repel them.  That is the part the current administration doesn't understand.

Most Muslims are at the breaking point suffering these murdering monsters that destroy in the name of God.\n\nThe United States, (providing we have non-lib leadership) along with the other nations and peoples of the world that want peace and freedom, will not allow the jihadis to prosper.

Simply because these being killed are Muslims and Arabs, people protest for animals and call for animals rights , but not a condemn to what is happening in Palestine or in Iraq or at Lebanon few months ago...\n\nAmericans wonder why these "bad" Muslims bomb themselves ?\n\nThe answer is : Thanks to the American -made-motives.

well its kind of a two sided war. You see, it must be traced back to the source. When the Russians invaded Afghanistan, Usama Bin Ladin as well as Ahmed Massoud (pardon me for spelling mistakes) defended their territory in a combined effort. After that Usama returned without a motivation and needed to pursue further ventures, while Massoud formed america's greatest ally-The Northern Alliance. Then it was that Usama learned of a man(cant remember the name), who was leading forces against the united states. He claimed that america lacked culture and religion and needed to convert to islam. Throughout the clinton administration, there were numerous threats of attacks and who can forget the first WTC bombing in 1993? Then it was in 2001 that WTC was bombed again which eventually led to the events that have evolved into the war today. Even i am no supporter of violence, but you must remember that we cannot rule out who is responsible for the conditions today. Go do some research.

Bush administration is following wrong policies.\nThey may not be on a crusade but all their present targets are unfortunately Muslims who are rich in natural resources but far behind in technology, hence an easy prey.\nIn the ultimate analysis/conclusion USA will never win since their stance is based on in-justice, inequality and double standards.

It's funny how Al-Queda just happens to release videos when Bush is low in the polls, almost as if they are in league together because as we know, the american sheep are easily manipulatable by fear.\nAs for a previous comment of bombing them, we do that already and in the process kill women and children and many innocents but hey! they're not american so who gives a sh*t. \nThe latest announcement by Bush that there was a foiled attempt in 2002 is such a crock. He said they think the tower may have been a target. If you don't know the target, how can you say you stopped the attack - it's not logical.\nBush not only derserves to be impeached for the breaking of treaties, the illegal wars, the lies to the American people, the torture (where recently Bush Legal Advisor Mr. Yuu acknowledged that smashing a child's testicles to make a parent speak is an acceptable interrogation technique) but Bush should also be tried for high treason and convicted.

We tried to kill Castro in the Bay of Pigs fiasco under the Kennedy administration. At that point in history, he was a threat to the US because Cuba was communist and only lies 90 miles from our door step.  Kennedy's plan in the Bay of Pigs was to land Cuban refugees to kill Castro, but the plan failed miserably because as soon as the refugees land in Cuba, the local Cubans came running up and massacered them.  Thus, part of the answer to your question is that we haven't killed him because his people won't let us kill him.  Also, now we don't really see the need to kill him because he is no longer a threat.  The Soviet Union collapsed so Cuba doesn't have anyone to back it up against the US.  The embargos the US placed on Cuba have held him in check too because Cuba has remained one of the poorest nations in the world due to the fact that it can't trade with the US.  If you go to Cuba, you only see cars from the 1970s and things like band aids are rationed.  The US still maintains a watchful eye on Castro, aka Guantanamo Bay, but the need to take him out has subsided.

The USSR invaded Afghanistan, but never captured it as you claimed. That is because the United States assisted the Afghanis against Russia. After all, Russia was our enemy at that time in the cold war and the Afghanis had done nothing to warrant an attack. In return for our assistance, Bin Laden decided to bite the hand that fed him and turn on America in his quest to commit terrorist acts. Is it wrong to try to help someone and be a friend? Is it Americas fault that Bin Laden wanted to commit terrorist acts against us? Just goes to show that you can nothing to help these people. They are the enemy of the world. And you are a stupid jackass!

If the Iraqis do not really take responsibility for their safety (and quit aligning themselves with militias)?  You'll get a country that harbors terrorists.  And a less safe America.\n\nOn the same token, Osama Bin Ladin called for a fatwa against America because we built bases in "holy land", so there is no right answer.  We stay we lose, we leave we lose. \n\nMoral of the story? \n\nDon't start wars with countries that have little or nothing to do with terrorism, because then people use that as a rallying cry to recruit more terrorists (read the NIE).

No, my guess is that we've already found him and are monitoring him heavily. If it were publically annoucned that he was captured, then a LOT more people would want America to pull out of Iraq/Middle East. So I think we've found him, I mean, he's not really a major threat anymore. Did you see his last tape? It was a 'Oh well I guess I'll compromise and stop killing people if you leave Afghansitan and Palestine, but if you don't and you do find me, I will die a holy man.' the point is is that he is clearly beginning to fear his own death, so something's up.

Because we are in the buisness of killing or capturing the worlds greatest terrorist while in Iraq. Had he stayed more then 6 hours the US Army would have had to blow him up as the number one terrorist in Iraq.

Of course its bullsh!t...the United States government is responsible for 9/11. This video is crap, I don't even think its remotely accurate seeing as how Osama Bin Ladin is a fictitious character. First he's a threat, then Zarqawi is a threat and we forget about Bin Ladin only to come back to fearing him once the war is being critisized by more than just radicals.

First of all It's Osama Bin Ladin. He is just like u and me but more desperate, he had seen more brutality than us, has more money and a god damn organisation. He just like us hated when our brothers and sisters are hurt and killed without proper reasons but he acted differently. He just took a step a little further. He is said to be involved in 9/11 attacks. If that's true he did something really wrong. But to him it's fine coz America did and doing the same thing to his muslim brothers and sisters. Whatever it is, he shouldn't have done that. Now, there's no difference between him and America.

Because a failure in Iraq is  failure to America and our standing in the world will go down.  If we leave prematurely the entire world will see America doesn't stick it out to the end.  That is a position we as a country cannot have if we expect our allies to stand by us.\n\nBesides, we lucked up and got the moth to the flame effect there.  The terrorist have gone to Iraq to run us out.  They are now there for us to fight and kill, and it is better to fight them there than fight them here.  They have shown they have no intention of leaving us alone.
