Al Jazeera edited out Osama's complaints about Al-Qaeda's setbacks

"Osama bin Laden doesn't seem nearly so cocky in the unedited version of a videotape aired on al-Jazeera, complaining that the manhunt against him has hampered al Qaeda." From the New York Post, with thanks to Uncle Jeff:

October 31, 2004 -- Osama bin Laden doesn't seem nearly so cocky in the unedited version of a videotape aired on al-Jazeera, complaining that the manhunt against him has hampered al Qaeda.

Osama bin Laden's newest tape may have thrust him to the forefront of the presidential election, but what was not seen was the cave-dwelling terror lord talking about the setbacks al Qaeda has faced in recent months.

Officials said that in the 18-minute long tape — of which only six minutes were aired on the al-Jazeera Arab television network in the Middle East on Friday — bin Laden bemoans the recent democratic elections in Afghanistan and the lack of violence involved with it.

On the tape, bin Laden also says his terror organization has been hurt by the U.S. military's unrelenting manhunt for him and his cohorts on the Afghan-Pakistani border.

A portion of the left-out footage includes a tirade aimed at President Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, claiming the war in Iraq is purely over oil.

The tape also sparked some concern that an attack aimed at disrupting Tuesday's election may be planned.

But those who have seen the tape have said there was no specific information regarding an attack.

Just as terrorism takes place across state borders, and cannot really be identified with any particular regime or state, Al Jazeera, as the chief propaganda vehicle of the Jihad, and of Muslim terrorism, cannot be linked to a single state for punishing (though Qatar does offer it a place for its headquarters).

Since Al Jazeera clearly is not merely a satellite news channel, but a propaganda outlet, responsible through its lies and nonsense in the deaths of more American soldiers than would otherwise be the case, everything should be done to put it off the air, or lessen its appeal.

One possibility suggested previously was to find a way to prevent its use of a satellite -- and from now on no Arab network should ever again be permitted to rent, or own, a satellite -- by disabling that satellite, or interfering with transmissions. That is a technical matter, and perhaps it is impossible.

Another solution: ostensibly private hackers, unconnected to any government, might be able to introduce onto Al Jazeera broadcasts material that would offend Muslim viewers -- for example, pornography that would suddenly interrupt a broadcast, so that the family that is just settling in for a quiet and sedate evening of watching rants against the Infidels, and the occassional decapitation, will be so offended by the surprise intrusion of an Orange County production, or something from the Reeperbahn, or perhaps Paris where the production values may be higher -- that will offend those Muslim womenfolk, and the family hour in front of the television just won't be the same. Western governments did whatever they could to win World War II -- and all sorts of cunning, and all sorts of tricks, were necessary. This is no different. And where governments fail, Infidel hackers may step into the breach. We cannot stop the presses in Riyadh and Cairo, but we can stop the satellite channels, such as Al Jazeera, from penetrating world-wide, including the 180,000 households in the United States said to receive their news and hence their worldview, from Al Jazeera.

'A portion of the left-out footage includes a tirade aimed at President Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, claiming the war in Iraq is purely over oil. '


Now why would they edit that out? Is this not Designed to hurt Bush? Or is someone at Al-Jazeera smart enough to understand the concept of Negative Feedback?

We shouldn't get satisfied until OBL is dead or captured. Zawahiri and Zarqawi too.

Here is what is really going on from men on the ground in Iraq!!
Letter to Families - Dated 19 October 2004

Hello again, after a long hiatus. Last 6 weeks or so have been busy as we worked to establish the new battalions in their areas of operations and worked to get the "old' battalions home. 3/7, 2/7, and 1st LAR are all safely home and on their block leave period. 1/7, 1/23, and 3d LAR have assumed their battle space and continue to perform superbly. The enemy, as e expected, is surging as we approach the U.S. and Iraqi election period and enter Ramadan. Enemy activity in this AO has picked up, to the enemy's etriment. They are not very smart, and when they decide to come out and fight, are easily killed. His patterns remain the same as we saw in April: ove 50-150 terrorists into a city or community, use terror and intimidation to assume control, kill and maim local citizens, get his picture taken with hs RPG and AK-47, then wait to see himself on the evening news.
Interesting side note to ask how often you see pictures of these guys posturing and how often you see pictures of them fighting. Then compare that to how often you see pictures of U.S. servicemen fighting and how often you see pictures of them posturing. Provides a good metric for who is winning this thing: the enemy postures when the cameraman is present, but when it comes to fighting he is the most base of cowards. You don't see many images of these guys fighting because they're too busy hiding or running once the fighting starts. They're much more comfortable beheading innocents. Side note also demonstrates how, with the best of intentions and within the rightful bounds of our constitution, the press becomes unwitting collaborators in the enemy's information operations campaign. This is a
fight for the will of the American and the Iraqi people. He targets the Iraqis through murder and intimidation; he targets you through the images.
Anyway..we have fought him well in a number of engagements over the past week or so. TF 1/23, 1/8 and 2d Force Recon Co performed magnificently in
an operation in the city of Hit that killed 30 or so terrorists without harming an innocent Iraqi and restored both security and governance to a city taken over by the bastards for a 72 hour period last week. Of greater significance, the 503d Iraqi National Guard Bn fought as the RCT-7 main effort, were the first
ones into the city, and remains there today providing security for the community.
The enemy chased out of Hit moved into the city of Rawah about 50 miles west, TF 1/8 and an Iraqi Army Unit hunted them down there, killed 10-15
more and restored that community to its citizens. In other parts of the AO, Iraqi police and National Guard and Border Police have fought off numerous
attacks on their own...in my mind the most striking example of the progress we continue to make across the AO. The enemy cannot maintain this surge for
long: the Iraqi people are rapidly tiring of him, the Iraqi Security Forces are fighting back, and we are killing them with stunning regularity. He
surges in order to influence the American and Iraqi elections; when both proceed as planned, his efforts will begin to crumble. We now have 2 police
academies, 2 ING training academies, and 2 Iraqi Border Police Training Academies operational. We continue to see the fruits of these efforts in
The increasing professionalism, confidence, and competence of the Iraqi Security Forces. Firefights are dramatic and make the news; but where we are going
to win this is through the establishment of viable Iraqi Security Forces. It is a challenging road, fraught with friction, but every day we see progress.
Training ISF remains our main effort and will continue to be both our main effort and our ultimate ticket home with victory. The civil effort
continues apace also. Our most significant current effort is the construction of the hospital in Ar Rutbah..a $1M effort that will provide medical services to a
community currently 4 hours away from the closest medical care. Your Marines and Sailors continue to perform with courage and intellect in this most
complex and ambiguous of conflicts.

We are anxiously awaiting election day in the hopes that the media picture and national dialogue will transition from the subjectivity of politics to
the objectivity of national interest. Building a democracy is a dirty business-has been throughout the history of democracy from ancient Greece through the present day. Regard our national effort here through the prism of that reality. RCT-7 remembers the sacrifices of LCpls A. R. Boyles and R. Mateo, KIA 24 Sep 2004 vic Fallujah; Cpl. I.T. Zook, KIA 12 Oct 2004 vic Husaybah; Cpl W.I. Salazar KIA 15 Oct 2004 vic Husaybah; Sgt Owen, U.S. Army, KIA 15 Oct 2004 vic Husaybah; SPC J. Santos, U.S. Army, KIA 15 Oct 2004 vic Husaybah. Please remember their families in your prayers. Share your Courage. And stand fast.

Who has the tape? What unnamed "officials" are being cited in the New York Post? Has ANY source made a transcript of the WHOLE thing so we can all see it first hand? What is MEMRI doing about this?

Believe me, I am praying very hard for a Bush victory, but NOBODY in the Kerry camp will believe anything that was printed in the New York Post.

Bukhari:V4B52N267 “The Prophet said, ‘Khosrau will be ruined, and there will be no Khosrau after him, and Caesar will surely be ruined and there will be no Caesar after him, and you will spend their treasures in Allah’s Cause.’”

The timing is perfect,not only is CAIR Canada demanding Sharia-Law for all muslims in Canada but their website and other Islamic sites are fighting for the Al-Jazeera Arabic channel
while insisting it's fairer than the banned Foxnews channel and doesn't promye antisemitic
views as some people alleged.
The arguement for Al-Jazeera is that if a person is on the show to call for the killing of Jews,they balance the show by have a person explaining why you shouldn't kiil Jews.
I've seen how Arabs and Muslims define a balanced
debate,they want their 1 percent of the population
to get 50 percent of the media coverage,just as the number of Gay TV shows are higher than the
proportion in the population.
Canadian Islamic Org's that constantly protest
the littlest thing have a selective view of histroy,very few reports of Muslim atrocities against non-Muslims get theri attention bevause they claim these people aren't "true" Muslims and don't reflect the True Islam of peace and tolerance.
After the widespread support by Muslims for the President of a Islamic group that said on public Tv that every Israeli over 18 is a valis taget for murder by suicide bombers because of the draft system,I'm not suprised at the Al-jazeera censorship and the fact that the Police are stalling on charging the man with a Hate-crime that Muslims so desire when anything bad is said about Islam .
The fear of violence and terrorism is just another tool for Islam to force the practise on others by proxy.

Three cheers for impoverished Afghanistan, a country that went to the polls while OBL was hiding in it. Of course, it might just be the case that the al-Qaeda types know what the Afghans might do to them if, while voting, a bunch of them got killed or injured.

Concerning Osama bin Laden (better known as bin Looney Tunes)and his Message for Americans:


We, the American people, have a message for bin Looney Tunes: "Up your ass"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
