According to MSNBC, we will be treated to the fat Osama.

[Fridays Child]

Pete Williams says a still picture on a radical Islamic web site, "one that has announced these videos in the past," shows an Osama "who appears to have gained some weight" and is sporting a "newly-darkened beard."

What. Ever.

[Kutjara]

1. I guess the old actor wasn't available.

He's probably in summer stock or something.

[w8liftinglady]

4. LOL..I can't wait for SwampRat's rendition of the "fat Osama"

[htuttle]

19. I heard this new guy won the "America's Next Top Terrorist" show

[graywarrior]

2. He and Lou Dobbs have been dipping into Grecian Formula

[Fridays Child]

LOL!

Yes, they have! :rofl:

[Warpy]

3. "Newly darkened beard" = OLD footage, doctored up

Islamic militants aren't into Grecian Formula.

[graywarrior]

9. Bwahahaha. That's right, they aren't.

[frylock]

33. no play for mr. grey!

[htuttle]

5. It's kind of like on the old Rosanne TV show...

...when they swapped in a new 'Becky' and expected us all not to notice.

[seemslikeadream]

8. They did!!

:)

[Mnemosyne]

17. They switched Becky?! omg!

12. I wonder why so small? Is this all?

In reality I'd expect a lot more than a thumbnail. Maybe it's still the beta release version.

[hlthe2b]

13. On the contrary, I believe they can (and have made this shit up)

That is a small pic, but it does not look the same to me..

[nebenaube]

16. I've been wondering about this and would like other opinions...

[Mnemosyne]

22. Nah, it's

Saddam.

Or one of his super special doubles!

[Fridays Child]

20. I'm sorry but that beard had to have been rented from a costume shop.

The beards on mall Santas look more realistic than that one.

[Deja Q]

10. Too much McKFC, is that why? I thought only Americans were fast food junkies...

:crazy:

[Rick Myers]

11. I hear he will announce...

15. So, this was FOUR years old, rather than TWO years old.

Because FOUR years ago he was FAT, but TWO years ago, he was thin, and on death's door as a dialysis patient.

In the middle of the desert.

In a mountain cave.

Living by the sea.

Frolicking in the autumn mists.

Land of Hannah-Lee.

18. Dear God-please let Keith Olberman cover this tonight!

[Demintheusa]

Surely the dems will trounce on this!? :shrug:

[Fridays Child]

25. If this "Osama" says anything about being connected to the so-called al Qaida in Iraq...

...we will know beyond all shadow of doubt that he's a fraud.

[spanone]

27. justin tyme...fear...more surge....fear....more surge.....

Rita Katz, director of the SITE Institute, a Washington-based group that monitors terror messages, said bin Laden's beard appeared to have been dyed, a popular practice among Arab leaders.

IntelCenter, an Alexandria, Va.-based group that monitors Islamic Web sites, said the video was expected within the next 72 hours, before the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 suicide hijacker attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Serious question.

[Bolo Boffin]

[Fridays Child]

[Bolo Boffin]

32. Yes. n/t

[wildbilln864]

36. Al Qaeda means "the base"........

which was started by the CIA!

[Berry Cool]

31. Of course I do.

Every September 11th he comes down the chimney bringing bombs for all the good little American boys and girls. At least that's what the Republicans say.

But seriously. Yes. There was one before 9/11, there is one now (unless he really is dead). It's the hype that's phony.

[frylock]

34. Yes n/t
