Showdown? Osama Challenges Obama…

By PUMA Pundit on January 14, 2009

I don’t care who is in the White House, what I do know is that Osama has outlived his welcome on planet earth by probably 40 years… ABC

In a direct challenge to President-elect Barack Obama, Osama bin Laden questions whether America “is capable to keep fighting us for more years” in a new audio message attributed to him Wednesday morning on an internet website.

 

A senior U.S. official told ABCNews.com, “There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the tape.”

 

It is the first time bin Laden has been heard from in seven months and puts to rest speculation he is dead. The al Qaeda leader’s last audio message was posted on May 18, 2008.

 

“This is part of their ongoing propaganda effort to appear relevant by commenting on current events,” the senior US official said in dismissing the significance of the new tape.

 

Bin Laden makes reference to Vice-President elect Joseph Biden, quoting him as saying “the financial crisis is bigger than we expected” and the al Qaeda leader counsels patience in continuing to fight the U.S.

 

“The majority of the U.S. people are happy to get rid of Bush, Bush left for his successor a heavy heritage, the hardest part of heritage is guerilla wars,” bin Laden says.

At times I feel like it's just me against the world...

    If the homeland or any of our interests, embassies or US citizens abroad are attacked again, start packing all your millions. You are going back to Chicago with all your corrupt friends. You will need more than 95% of black support in 2012 if you fail to keep US citizens safe!

    Let’s see… the logic is, if Bin Laden attacks the homeland or any of our interests, embassies or US citizens abroad, the the people who voted for Obama will blame…Obama? That doesn’t make ANY sense. If the U.S. or its interests are attacked again, people will look back and say, “Damn, if only we hadn’t screwed around in Iraq, we could have been fighting those who attacked US!Now who WAS it who led us into Iraq…Sadaam, no…Shia, no…, Sunni, no… I know, it was G.W.Bush and his Neo-Con(artists) buddies!

    If AlQuada attacks us again under Obama’s watch, the people who voted for him will blame Bush and all those racist republicans. If we are not attacked during Obama’s presidency, the people that voted for him will assume we are safer because of the Messiah.
    What would have happened if Hussein would have never been taken down? Over 80% of Americans approved regime change in Iraq…Americans celebrated with approval when Badghdad was taken in less than 3 weeks. Americans celebrated with approval when the Saddam sons were killed. Americans celebrated with approval when Al Sarhawii was killed. American celebrated with approval when Kabul was taken in less than 2 weeks. Americans celebretaed with approval when saddam was captured by the glorious 4th Infantry Division. Americans celebrated with approval when free elections were held in Iraq and Afghanistan.
    Americans made fun of Iraq Information Minister when he said Americans forces were defeated.
    Where was Obama when all these events happened? Oh yea…voting present in the Illinois State senate!
    History is not made with speeches but with strong actions.

    CORRECTION: The majority (SHIA) were celebrating! Not the U.S. The U.S. kicked ass of a weak litle army. We are still fighting the insurgents.

    LAUGHING IS CATCHING:

    Remember who was laughin when G.W. stood in front of a sign that read “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”??? WE ARE STILL THERE!!!

    You can’t erase history. All the hate and Bush kicked Kerry’s butt in 2004. Americans approved regime change in Iraq. Americans approved military intervention in Afghanistan to help the Northen Alliance. Obama was voting present in the Illinois State Senate. Bush had the higher approval ratings of any president in history. You cant erase that. Cry all you can. Bush’s approval ratings started to go down after the Katrina mess and the extended tours of duty. Remember that Carter won big in 1976 BUT Reagan kicked his butt in ’80. Enjoy your Obama momentum. In 4 years a black president will be yesterday news.

    “CORRECTION: The majority (SHIA) were celebrating! Not the U.S. The U.S. kicked ass of a weak litle army. We are still fighting the insurgents.”

    FYI: Sadam built the biggest and best equipt Army in the middle east besides Israel. That is widely known. You are just a NONSENSE. I think you were sad when our Armed Forces under Bush kicked axx over there.

  • Also2

    If Bush winning by 2% is “kicking Kerry’s butt”, what do you call Obama winning by 7%?

    I wouldn’t want to. Just so that you are informed: A president will have high approval ratings at the start of a war (GHWB had high ratings too)especially when it appears the country is at risk!

    Once again, so you are informed, to say you are the best of the worst ain’t saying $H!T. Also, I would put my money on the Egyptian army over Saddam’s Army anyday (better arms and training)!

    Your last statemant is just your normal Carmelo B.S.

    This is one of the worst NONSENSES you have written in this blog:

    “Once again, so you are informed, to say you are the best of the worst ain’t saying $H!T. Also, I would put my money on the Egyptian army over Saddam’s Army anyday (better arms and training)!”

    You are a complete NONSENSE. Your lack of historical facts is just amazing and entertaining. Egypt have never had a first grade Armed Forces. Their forces were almost distoyed during the war of the 6 days in 1967 against Israel. And Egypt had Syria and Jordan as allies! In just 6 days Israel kicked those countries asses!
    The only country in military superioriority besides Israel in that zone has always been Iraq!!!
    You need to read some military history! The US backed Iraq against Iran. Iraq could destroy Iran in 1979 but the US intervined and they engged in an 8 years conventional war with bad loses for the Islamic Shia Republic! At that time the Islamic Republic was more dangerous for the US than Saddam. They sent the pro American moderates to exile(Do you remember the famous Shah???) You are a total chaos man(or woman). Read wakopedia!
    The Iraqi Republican Guard was the best equipt security force in the Middle East!
    You can put your money that Egypt’s army is superior than Iraqi Security Forces NOW. But 12 Years ago, you would have lost your underwears!

    Stop your NONSENSE!

    The Egyptian Army is still years behind Israel, Turkey, Greece, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia! Now you might not only lose your undewears but your life!!

    Read some Military History please!

  • Carmelo Junior

    You can take saudi and Greece out of that list. But Iraq under saddam would have kicked the Egyptians any day.

  • Happydaysarehereagain

    Carmelo,

    Once again, you said a whole lot of …nothing. While Iraq was using outdated and used junk we gave them, Egypt is far superior. Oh yeah, BTW the U.S. was backing Israel.

  • Carmelo Junior

    Outdated junk we gave them? Think for a minute. Iraq invaded more than 200 Iranian miles. Do you think they can do that with outdated junk? You would love this crazy would still be in power threatening other countries and shooting at our planes.

  • Happydaysarehereagain

    Carmelo, get a grip on reality, please. You are NOW talking about 2 backwards countries who are only recently removed from fighting on horseback.

    Personally, I don’t give a damn whether or not S.H. was still alive. He didn’t bother me at all. I think most Americans felt that way. I’m sure I could go quite a long time without meeting an American who has personally faced a tragedy due to S.H.

    As for the no-fly zone! You’ve got to be kidding, right? We cut this country into pieces ruled their airspace, and you thought war or ground troops were an appropriate action to hit-and-run terrorists who take pot-shots at planes? I bet their are a lot of widows, kids, and parents who don’t feel the same way as you Carmelo. If that was SUCH a good idea…why did H.W. go all the way?

    Carmelo, when you fly by the seat of your pants and wear your heart on your sleeve, emotion takes over, not logic. This leaves you at a loss. Sorry.

    Osama is more PATHETIC too but he recognizes character flaws that he can play off.

    That is why we need someone with firm convictions and principles such as Sarah Palin as CIC.

    In 48 months America will sweep her into office in a landslide!

    Go Sarah 2012!!!
