"I don't know where he is, I just don't spend that much time on him."

From the BBC: Another Osama Tape
The West's moves to isolate the new Hamas-led Palestinian government prove it is at war with Islam, a tape attributed to Osama Bin Laden declares.

The tape also described the situation in Iraq and Sudan's troubled Darfur region as further evidence that a "Zionist-crusader war" was being waged.

The recording was broadcast by Arab satellite TV al-Jazeera on Sunday.

If confirmed, it is the first message from Bin Laden since January 2006, when he threatened more attacks on the US.


Lessee, things are going even more to shit for the right, and it seems we can't be distracted totally... oh, look, another Osama tape! Be afraid!

Oddly enough, there isn't much in the way of threats in this one. Maybe I was wrong - maybe they're NOT traslating these with political gain in mind.

Anyhow, I'm not making massive judgments on this one beyond the fact that these tapes always seem to come out when the right is floundering.
