Well he says it was a ruse to make people think he was feeble and couldn't move. Though he thinks if he was in the home of a prominent Pakistani official, he'd get the treatment he needed. I do think though that if he was by a major population center someone would have found out something.

thats what so special about Teheran. Its in a police state(much more controlled society than Pakistan), and it has (more or less) secret tunnel complexes.

"Kidney failure" might have meant any number of illnesses. It may be that he had prostate problems and a secondary urinary tract infection. Antibiotic treatment along with something to relax the spjincter of the bladder can work wonders for that. He might also have been eating too many aspirins. If that condition is caught early enough just stopping the aspirin can reverse the condition. It may be that he has diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Getting those conditions under control can stabilize renal function. Not every kidney disease leads to the need for dialysis.

Maybe his Pakistani doctor gave him the kidneys of one of the hostages.

This is a very appropriate time for this, the american public will feel terrorised and vote Bush in, and the circle will continue to turn. [shrugs] It was kinda predictable considering how close the election was running. I think its going to be many years before this scenario will be laid to rest.

well according to that bbc documentary that has been running over the last few weeks, each needs the other to keep their cause alive. I'm not saying they are in cahoots together - they really do want to kill each others 'side'. But its become a bitter irony that without the other each cant hope to win the 'hearts and minds' of their respective people's approval(bin ladens group has failed on numerous occasions to get the popular uprising he wanted in various countries around north africa and the middle-east).
It would almost be funny - except i just cant take the image of dead innocent men,women and children(!) out of my mind, from both sides

It's interesting that the US media agencies actively spread the message of bin Laden. Israeli security services have always suggested that terrorists should not be getting an easy opportunity to make themselves heard. All bin Laden has to do is make a videotape, and it gets aired, with US sources providing translations, airing parts of it or it all, etc. Whereas it might be more sensible to just submit the tape to the authorities and all - no advertising of bin Laden on TV.

Oh, and the search for Osama concluded in a complete failure, despite the announcement earlier this year that "his capture is imminient". It looks like the US has no idea of where he is, at all. And I somehow don't think that he's hiding in a cave all day, I believe he is living pretty nicely in a "friendly country". Could be Iran, very likely, heck, even Russia or China. Asia is a big place.

I do believe this tape IS a code, it's not really a "secret" code as much as it is a signal

The part about Bush reading the whole goat story was very detailed, I think that's the go signal.

Let's hope everybody stays safe this weekend.

NOT CATCHING THIS GUY IS SO INCOMPETENT

I firmly believe that this administration has absolutley NO IDEA where he is hiding.

The more I think about it the more I think that Bin Laden wants Bush for four more years.

Fact of the matter is, at the moment the GOP have the easier job of spinning this because, quite frankly, it affirms the war on terror is still pertinent and Bush is the incumbent, while Kerry cannot be seen to be capitalising on an enemy's word.

So while Bush has the easier job, why didn't Bin Laden actively challenge the GOP line? Moreso, why did he affirm that the war on terror is an extremely important issue? The reason is quite obvious really. While Bush continues to go off on overseas field trips, anti-US hatred is stirred up and they look for their leader, Bin Laden, who is apparantly quite cosy because of Bush's incompetence. Bin Laden gets more recruits, will be safer for four more years at least while he has support, and the US will fall into a state in which its armed forces simply cannot keep up.

Brilliant strategy really.

As crass as I feel spinning this back to "how it affects the election," I think at the very least Bush has to feel somewhat relieved that this has now pushed the missing-explosives story off the front page.

I think everyone is trying to see this in whatever light supports their candidate. Spinning it around in their heads until their opinions are only confirmed when in reality this video is as important as any of the others. Meaning not worth a ****. But if it makes everyone feel good then I suppose it's ok.

Nothing specific mentioned, though from the language it is probably recent. He didn't rail against the afghan elections which I think is interesting considering the argument hes trying to make here.

also, they held back about 4 minutes of it, saying it "wasn't newsworthy".

Idiotically I declare a war I can never win, against the great Ted Striker.

I remember his input into the great and venerated econ threads of yesteryear and I am loathe to criticize, I feel I must though. Ted Striker has taken his status of popularity from 'I would hit it' and soiled it the muck of partisan politics. So it is with a heavy heart that I must
