Al-Qaida said Monday that it will release a new video of Osama bin Laden presenting the last testament of one of the Sept. 11 suicide hijackers, marking the sixth anniversary of the attacks.
"Coming soon, God willing, the testament of the attacks on New York and Washington, Abu Musab Waleed al-Shehri, presented by Sheik Osama bin Laden, God preserve him," the banner read. It showed an image of bin Laden wearing the same black beard and clothes as in the most recent video.
So any well informed person should have a number of questions about these tapes and their timing. The first of course is who is making them? But if you are not as far down the rabbit hole as I am then maybe you just wonder, why now?
Because it is the sixth anniversary of 9-11? So what? If Bin Laden did not make a personal video for the fifth anniversary then why the sixth? And why make it when George Bush is having such a difficult time selling the Iraq war? Are we to believe that Bin Laden is a war supporter?
And then perhaps you wonder about why Al-Qaeda would hang onto this tape from Abu Musab Waleed al-Shehri for all of these years? I mean there were a lot of other times that this would have had an even bigger impact then at this moment. But it does, possibly help to justify our continued fear of Al-Qaeda and our fight against them in Iraq. Now doesn't it? And who does that help again?
But if you are trying to convince us that this is old footage of a dead 9-11 hijacker then why pick one of the so-called hijackers who have been found alive? Perhaps this guy was willing to make a tape for the fake Bin Laden in exchange for being left alone in Morocco.
I have to say that the Bush administration is getting extremely sloppy. Is it possible they do not have access to the Internet? Or do they just assume that none of us have the intelligence to double check everything that we hear? Well you are wrong on that second count assholes!
