The new Osama video

September 7, 2007 By

This is the portion floating around the internet:

And, while the mainstream media is missing it, there is a significance to the dyed beard.

UPDATE: If you really find the ramblings of a madman to be of interest, the full 25 minute version of this video can be found here: http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/189307.php

UPDATE: Seems the full 25 minutes is now available on Google Video:

    New Osama video seems yet another forgery. Everyone needs Osama alive:
    terrorists as symbolic leader and the US Administration – to avoid
    scaling down the war on terror.
    Obadiah Shoher rightly notes (
    http://www.samsonblinded.org/news/osama-commemorates-911-1114 ) that
    new Osama talks like a leftist university professor. I like Shoher’s
    analysis. No way a terrorist leader like Osama would use a speechwriter. Osama is famous
    for his rhetoric.
    Also, in the tape Osama both threatens America with attack (by
    “proving” Americans polytheists) and offers (yet another time)
    long-term coaching in Islam.
    But his dyed beard makes me cautious. Islam’s mujahedeen dye their
    beards before battle.

    Actually, I think Allahpundit over at HotAir is on the right path. The video is legit, Osama is alive, but he’s not doing well: http://hotair.com/archives/2007/09/09/shenanigans-in-the-osama-video
