Where's Bin Laden and Waldo?

"Osama Bin Hidin's" New and improved voice message as Terrorist Frontman for al-Qaida states a Holy War against Israel and it's allies, Yadda, Yadda..makes me wonder if the Howard Hughes of the Terrorist Underworld is indeed alive.

I for one seriously believe health plagued, diabetic "Osama bin Hidin" took a well deserved Desert Dirt Nap long ago.   Osama in the past, never saw a camera he didn't like or would walk past, without a benovelent wave of his snot encrusted finger.  So why in the past few years the only tapes of him are voice recordings complete with a decade old photo?  How come no Live Video Recording?
One reason, he is deader than a doornail, most likely in Paradise being routinely sodomized by a thousand former suicide bomber male virgins, pissed at him for telling them that Paradise was full of horny female virgins.

Al-Qaida like any Terrorist group desperate for funding, keep the myth alive in order to remain viable.

Al-Qaida, once a force to be reckoned with in the 1990's and early 2000 was a small group of terrorists, began to grow exponentially, due to it's popularity where it seemed  like Grunge Rock Culture, anyone with a gun or zippo lighter would proclaim they were al-Qaida members, much like some in the US when trying to impress a date in a bar, proclaim they are Navy Seals, or CIA, only to later impale themselves with a cocktail sword, and cry like girly men when a real Navy Seal or returning Iraqi War Veteran in the bar opens a Can of Whup Ass on them. 

Certainly similiarities can be seen with these Chicken Chested Wanna be al-Qaida Poseurs, who much to al-Qaida's surprise and dismay, blow themselves up and their friends to Paradise in their attempts to try and figure out what the "Pin in the Grenade is for?"

Certainly an embarrassment to Osama and his small group who wanted quality control and some semblence of professionalism in their terrorist activities and felt their trademark  name was being "Sullied and used in Vain" by anyone with a tent and a few tires and a swing rope was calling themselves a al-Qaida Terrorist training camp.

Perhaps al-Qaida is feeling irrelevant this past year, with their status being eclipsed by other well known Terrorist groups, such as a younger group of Suicide Bombers, the Taliban, Hamas, Iraqis factions and other Islamic Groups stealing the Limelight from them.  So, in order to try and remain in the spotlight on the Terrorist World Stage, al-Qaida, much like long ago "aged one hit wonders"  grab a tape recorder, sing a few tunes, interspersed with current lyrics and rants to make them sound "Relevant and Pious" and shop around for air play.  One wonders if even Israel is taking notice of al-Qaida anymore, when more pressing terrorist issues are at hand from other factions.  Of course al-Qaida are not above taking credit for unknown terrorist acts, especially successful ones.

Yep, Osama as frontman, is dead and dessicated,  and his al-Qaida backup singers may soon be joining him into bargain bin obscurity.
