Bin Laden on tape, Canada at war

Well, there's another bin Laden tape. Maybe:

A newly broadcast audiotape believed to be from Osama bin Laden slams the West for cutting off funds to the Palestinian Hamas-led government and calls on al Qaeda followers to fight a proposed international force in Sudan.

In the tape, aired Sunday in part on Arabic-language TV network Al-Jazeera, the speaker repeatedly blasts a "crusader-Zionist war" against Islam, citing other activities in Chechnya and Somalia.

Uh, shouldn't we have caught this guy by now? (Sorry: snark, snark, snark.) This just shows yet again how completely insane this guy is (assuming it's him) -- and just what lies he'll tell to bolster his cause. Surely he knows there's no such "war" against Islam? Or am I giving him too much credit? (For more, see Steve Clemons.)

And in case you weren't aware, Canadian forces are now fully engaged in Afghanistan, facing Taliban rocket attacks and suffering serious casualties. We, too, are at war. But should we be?

  • Bin Laden is a lunatic. Why would anybody in their right minds avert from a life of comfort and wealth to go and be chased out of caves in remote areas of the world? That’s insanity. This video proves nothing but the fact he’s still active. All his rhetoric is pointless since he says the same thing over and over again with alterations here and there. I condemn this man and the actions that he and his followers have committed over the past two decades.
