Osama bin Laden, founder of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, best known for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, makes a new audio threat as President Obama begins his tour of Islamic countries.
Terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden reportedly issued a threatening statement against the United States Wednesday, shortly after President Obama arrived in Saudi Arabia on a trip aimed at improving relations between the United States and the Muslim world.Al Jazeera, the Arabic television network, broadcast a statement reportedly from bin Laden in which he accuses Obama of continuing in the steps of former President George W. Bush.
Bin Laden said Obama and his administration "have planted seeds for hatred and revenge against America," according to a Reuters translation.
The tape was broadcast shorly after Obama arrived.
On Wednesday afternoon local time, Obama landed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and participated in an arrival ceremony at the airport. Later, the president is scheduled to attend a welcome reception with King Abdullah at the king's farm.
Obama will fulfill a campaign promise when he travels to Cairo on Thursday to speak in a major Muslim capital. The President hopes to repair relations between the United States and the followers of Islam in the wake of intense anger from the policies of his predecessor.

I am no longer convinced that he is even alive.
I do not like Bin Landen nor his threats, yet he is right about one thing here, being that Obama did not provide the changes the world was demanding (or hoped to see) from the US.
Especially in the Middle-East.

Paschen, thank you for reading, commenting, and for the recommendation. Even though you are not alone in thinking that Osama bin Laden is not alive, there are some who believe he is. View "Purported bin Laden tape slams U.S. role in Pakistan". (CNN video/analysis).

The article is very interesting, I could however not view the Video for some reason.
The article refers to the taped voice as the speaker making clear that there are doubt about the real identity.
at 10:11 on June 3rd, 2009
Thank you, Paschen. I assume you mean the video I provided in the comment section. There is a commercial prior to its airing -- I just checked again, it is available.
at 10:12 on June 3rd, 2009
Yes, the link in your comment.
at 10:18 on June 3rd, 2009
Please try again, Paschen. I just checked and the video was there -- again, there is a brief commercial before it --

Interesting Video in deed. Thank you. We will have to wait for the experts to say one way or the other.
at 11:16 on June 3rd, 2009
You are very welcome, Paschen. Thank you!

Nobody believes in Osama, nobody believes in the official version of 9/11, but why in the world they still use this myth as an effective political instrument?

proto, thank you for reading, commenting, and for the recommendation.
"Nobody believes in Osama, nobody believes in the official version of 9/11, but why in the world they still use this myth as an effective political instrument?" Perhaps because the majority do in fact believe it.

The power of these myths makes so hard for me to understand today's America. I cannot figure out what made a nation with strong liberal and democratic tradition so easily controlled by the second-grade fabrications which they at times don't even bother themselves to cover up well? Or maybe the existence of these myths is justified by some long-term benefits? Anyways I'm here in Russia is not in the list...

proto, I like to refer to it as "the indoctrinated mind is blind" syndrome. Too, it is probably the case that "...the existence of these myths is justified by some long-term benefits?"

I think Bin Laden is dead.I really do. As for the threats to the American President they should be taken very seriously for I believe there are more Bin Laden fanatics out there waiting for their day of glory to kill the President.Lets just hope his security is bullet proof.

Jazz, thank you for reading, commenting, and for the recommendation. Personally, unless I see a body, I have to go with the notion that Osama bin Laden may still be alive. I do agree, however, that this alleged (or any other) threat against President Obama (and Americans in general) should be taken very seriously.

Isn't this Saudi citizen supposed to be in late stage kidney failure? I don't think that the Osama has to be alive. The hatred that he has spawned will live after him.
at 12:01 on June 3rd, 2009
Barbara, thank you for reading, commenting, and for the recommendation. I wasn't aware that it has been alleged that Osama bin Laden could have been suffering from late stage renal kidney failure. See Osama bin Laden: A dead nemesis perpetuated by the US Government.

Pure evil, hell will deal with him
at 16:34 on June 3rd, 2009
Whether he is dead or not...There are and have been fake tapes pawned off by the US White House as authentic...when clearly the guy in the video is not binLadin... No one believes the US anymore....Obama is laughed at....he's but a puppet to the Bush skeleton which still controls the occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan....
No wonder people in other countries want their own security by getting the Atomic Bomb...
Osama binLadin has never been the problem....it is the US who is the problem...who offers nothing to the World except their military force and death threats. And then they claim to be a legitimate government...
