An audiotape aired by Al Jazeera is said to be of Osama bin Laden threatens French troops held hostage by the al Qaeda network. The recording of bin Laden threatening France being authenticated as being from him by intelligence experts as al Qaeda holding seven French hostages, two in Afghanistan and five in Niger. Osama Bin Laden, the terrorist, has been on the FBI most wanted list since 1999 along with other fugitives. This new threat against France comes the same week that a report from The Pearl Project confirms that Khalid Sheik Mohammed beheaded Daniel Pearl, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, killed in 2002. French President Nicolas Sarkozy met with officials from the Foreign Ministry to discuss the new threats.
The message on the audiotape demands that France remove it’s troops from Afghanistan. For the past several months, there has been increased ‘chatter’ about al Qaeda launching an attack against France, as well as other European nations. In the past two months, police raids have arrested about two dozen suspected terrorists in Europe, including many in Sweden and the UK. On several occasions, major French landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame cathedral were closed. Police and military presence in Paris and other cities has been higher.
A number of terror plots have been disrupted which were aimed at the United States, too. The tactics employed by al Qaeda seem to be varying. Large, ’spectacular’ attack plots are being replaced by less ambitious, but still deadly ones. Increased turmoil in Pakistan, where Bin Laden is believed to be hiding, may also be directly related to al Qaeda operations.
The new audiotape where Osama Bin laden threatens French troops was aired by the Islamic news service, Al Jazeera. Specific threats against seven French hostages being held by affiliates of the al Qaeda terrorist network demand that France pulls out of the military coalition in Afghanistan. No official statement in response has been made as of yet by President Nicolas Sarzoky or by the French Foreign Ministry. Increased ‘chatter’ of attacks in Europe which led to numerous arrests recently may only be part of the picture. Recent unrest in some nations of the Sahara Desert, like Tunisia, may have support of al Qaeda. In Gaza, a French Foreign Minister was attacked after suggesting that an Israeli soldier being held by Palestinians should be allowed a visit by the Red Cross.

Obama Bin Laden (sorry, I am fantasizing that I work for Fox News, getting all that money, you know) is like Snowball, a once real, now mythical figure hiding in the background the powers that be can use to continue to stoke the fear and whip up the hate that gives them power. Terrorism always has the opposite effect from that which it intended. Deliberate people know this. This is why the Right only talks about murdering liberals, and allows crazy people to do it for them, rather than taking action themselves. I, for one, am tired of Osama. But I am only one.

Klo – take 2 of the blue pills and 1 yellow. You obviously have been taking 2 yellows and 1 blue. We have talked about this before.
Is McCain still here spouting his nonsense?
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:38 am
Wait.
Hasnt Bin Laden already threatened the whole western hemispere and Europe ?
January 22nd, 2011 at 12:54 pm
You figured us out Klo-less. Us righties talk hate for liberals so the crazies among us will do our bidding and wind up in a rubber room.
We’re waiting Klo-less!!!

How long will OBL be with us? Did he ever really exist at all? Or was he invented during the 80’s by the CIA?
January 22nd, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Klaatu…
You okay man ?
January 22nd, 2011 at 2:38 pm
I think Klaatu and Klo ought to get together. They might become great drinking buddies!

Very funny. How old is Osama now? Do you remember Charie Wilsons war? Do you remember who the Muja-hadeen was? Do you remember who Americas arch enemy was during the 80’s?
The Muja-hadeen is now the Taliban.
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Maybe I’m the same person as Klo…
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:19 pm
WOW! A threat from this filthy piece of garbage. If he is so righteous then show yourself for one good clean shot. Maybe he is too busy wiping himself with that bare left hand again!
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Why would OBL waste time threatening the French? Isn’t France already subjugated to Islam? It’s practically a Muslim country now.
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Obviously, Klaatu, you do not spend much time watching foreign news. France is provoking a lot of anger in the Muslim world with their recent ban on burqas. Not to mention all the riots that were going on in Muslim communities a year or so ago.
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:38 pm
BTW, Klaatu, not all of the Muja-hadeen became Taliban. Most were local tribal warriors. Some went on to form the Northern Alliance, which was fighting the Taliban and al Qaeda.
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Maybe not. I am more concerned with what is going here. By here I mean America. I am more concerned with creeping Sharia here in the States. I am aware that France banned the burqa. But I would say that Islam has a better foothold in France than it does here.
The French don’t seem as willing to fight.

I think the problem with many of the varied factions at war with each other over there is, who is “on our side” and who is not.
It seems that alliances can be shifted at the drop of a hat. To me, the enemy in the Middle East is not clearly defined.
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:56 pm
“It seems that alliances can be shifted at the drop of a hat. To me, the enemy in the Middle East is not clearly defined.”
Its easy to define the enemy.
If you stay away from all the PC crap.
Seriously, whern you ask if OBL even exists you lose a lot of credibilty, unless, and I hope, you were just jokin around.
“Klaatu”
Isnt that the alien robot from the sci-fi classic “The Day The Earth Stood Still”?
January 22nd, 2011 at 5:07 pm
@Micky
I think Klaatu was the humanoid. I’m not sure the robot had a name.
And yes, I am testing the waters a bit. I think perhaps Klo is the real deal, I however, am just a member of the disaffected proletariat under the steel toed boot of the current ruling class, led by Chairman Obamadinajad.
I can’t get away with that sort of thing on the one other blog I visit regularly, as I am too well known.
My humble apologies if I ruffled some feathers with my harmless mirth.
January 22nd, 2011 at 5:20 pm
“I think Klaatu was the humanoid. I’m not sure the robot had a name.”
Yeah, you might be right. I think the humanoid used the word in his commands. No biggy, just havin fun dude.
People make fun of my name in some manner at least once a week and they’re being original.
Dont go projecting yourself with an alias as Klo or you’re really asking for it around here.
The weekdays tend to be a little busier and more substantial.
Dont be a stranger.
No feathers ruffled here. Weve pretty much heard it all. No doubt, I’ve asked myself before, not if OBL exists at all, but why we havent nailed his ass yet as one might suspect by now maybe theres some ulterior motive for his continued precense.
January 22nd, 2011 at 5:22 pm
Correction…
…at least once a week and “THINK” they’re being original.
January 22nd, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Fair enough Micky. I just came up with the name on the spur of the moment.
Don’t know why it popped into my head, it just did. This blog is listed in the links on the other blog I visit, AWD.
Go Packers!
January 22nd, 2011 at 5:29 pm
Klaatu is the humanoid alien protagonist in the 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still and its 2008 remake. Klaatu is famous in part because of the phrase “Klaatu barada nikto!” used in the classic film and its re-use in the Bruce Campbell cult comedy film Army of Darkness, as well as many other films.
Sourced, Wikipedia.
BTW, the remake is horribly steeped in PC, regarding the global warming myth.
January 22nd, 2011 at 6:14 pm
Nothing like the classic originals.
Cant remember if I watched the remake, sounds familiar to a lot sci-fi these days seeing as how the gerbil warming crap is sci-fi itself, but what do you expect from Hollywood ?
========================
I’ve done the Bin Laden debate with moonbats justifying his sht and his freedom fighter misfits many a time in great detail and documentation starting from the crusades up until the N*zis handing down their doctrine to the Muslim Brotherhood up to today.
It gets tiresome to the point I cant be serious with anyone unless they truly realize these theological monsters are a freaking indiscriminate plague creeping into societies everywhere one way or another. My mother just got back from Denmark.
The little fckers are everywhere you go in Europe.
Not to discount decent peaceful Muslims(not that the general Muslim population couldnt be more proactive in the hunt for OBL) but the change in the demographic landscape was shocking for her who was raised there til she was 20 and has gone back every 5 years for the last 50.
For full disclosure, as an introduction to myself, I think 10 years ago we shoulda just dropped a few strategically well placed smaller nukes in Afganistan. But, hindsights always 20/20

It just amazes me how hard it seems to be to find one person. I personally do not go along with the Alex Jones’s of the world. A troll just recently got banned from AWD for non stop posting of infowars links and very abusive language.
You can’t reason with Liberals.
Civility=STFU in Liberalspeak.
January 22nd, 2011 at 7:06 pm
“It just amazes me how hard it seems to be to find one person.”
In all seriouness, after all the research I’ve done, debates, exchanges of info, it doesnt surprise me at all that we havent found or killed OBL yet.
My suggestion towards ulterior motives was slightly in jest and have never had any doubt these lunatics are serious and will never quit til they see to it that the majority of middle eastern states are no longer third world hell hole theological dictatorships.
As far as liberals go.
Some of the regulars here are not too unreasonsable.
But, thank God for free speech, or we never be able to see em comin.
Ciao.

Thanks Micky. I’ll be around.
