supposedly the number three man on the al qaeda totem pole.

you can't tell me that this isn't another cheap trick to terrorize the stupid and play on their worst racist fears all to cover up bush's plummeting popularity in the polls.

fucking bizarre how stupid they think we all are.

1. Strangely like Marilyn Manson

I wonder if they're the same person.

2. Don't forget Time's "OJ" pic

where they darkened him to make him more menacing . . .

Gotta demonize . . .

5. Call me Bill Frist but...

It looks like he has Vitiligo


Vitiligo (vit-ill-EYE-go) is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin, the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose and genital and rectal areas), and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball) are destroyed. As a result, white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. The hair that grows in areas affected by vitiligo usually turns white.

6. i did see a photo of him from better days

on the t.v. machine. he didn't have that discoloration, and he was in a suit looking chipper. but he don't look to spiffy here.

4. Is that guy alive?

Looks like he's been on ice for a while, thawed out and doctored up with a little makeup.

7. Thank god, they only get the high level guys. Everyone's a general

[Dawgs]

8. Can someone explain why he is the number three guy?

It just seems like it would be really easy to say somebody is the number three guy when we've never heard of him.

Unless someone can tell me otherwise, I'm calling bullshit on this one.

Just think about how many times we have seen a Bin Laden video... maybe once in the past two years. Conveniently it was just days before the election.

9. very persuasive, very cost effective, millions are convinced

maybe it is true i don't know, just saw it on the t.v. machine.

but look how easy it would be. take a particularly nasty photo of a scary menacing swarthy dark skinned sinister batman enemy type and give him an equally scary name, and simply say that he is the number three henchman for a shadowy criminal terror network and put it on the most powerful propaganda delivery device ever made, t.v.

that's what some of us think is happening here. and has been happening for several years now.
