Interesting Ben Laden Tape theory [Tinfoil hat though, but interesting]

[AnIndependentTexan]

RUMORS...here and there on the net saying that Bush
and CIA? were setting up a DOUBLE, including plastic surgery
of Bin Laden. Maybe to use in a pro-Bush tape? or..
to be CAPTURED. Big October Surprise.

Could be Bin Laden got word of this and
MADE HIS OWN TAPE. ?

1. Plastic Surgery did pass through my mind because he looked healthy

:tinfoilhat:

[elehhhhna]

2. good one. why not?

3. Bush Rove and Cheney are shitting their pants right now

crazier than shithouse rats they do not know whether to shit or go blind. They cannot make an October surprise happen or work to save their lives or their sorry anymore. Everyone on the planet is totally inured to their bullshit (with the exception of a few reptilian-brained fascists and fundamentalist nercophiles and drooling braindead idiots).

Everything that worked before from Adolph to Sharon is no longer working for the Bushes anymore.

TYhey are crapping their pants like dysentary victims (which is fitting since they gave the world the Holocaust and many dided of dysentary in the camps).

Shithouse rats are dangerous when the shithouse is about to sink in its own mire, though, and will gnaw through their own babies to escape the sludgely death.

Be aware.

36 hours to go.

4. The tip of Bin Laden's nose looked too round to me.

I remember his nose being Romanesque.

It's the syntax that bothered me the most... like a Bush* stump speech.

5. I talked to someone today who thought that it is a Rove

operation, like Walter Cronkite, but this person said that OBL was an animation. Disney does OBL! I don't see it.

I also don't think that Rove would have OBL stating that he doesn't hate us for our freedoms, but our policies. That's why AQ hasn't hit Sweden.

9. A Conan O'Brien skit with the moving lips etc.

like he used to do to Big dog.

THAT is what it looked like to me.

Computerized lip movements on a green screen (like Rob Corddry on Jon Stewart)

[amandabeech]

23. Good grief.

I can see it in my mind's eye and it ain't pretty!

[archineas]

6. to add to the tinfoilhatting...

i think the nose on the guy looks fake, myself. frankly, if the tape were faked, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

7. If this is indeed OBL on the

tape, then I am convinced that OBL works for for *.

Otherwise, it's a hoax. Either way, it is awfully convenient that OBL pops out just before the election to change the subject from missing weapons to terra-ism.

22. It really could be bin Laden

I wouldn't put it past Osama bin Laden putting out a tape merely to satify his own ego. No matter what happens, people are going to claim that his tape influenced the election. Isn't that something that a meglomaniac would aspire for -- to be able to have an influence in the elections of the the leaders of the most powerful nation in the world. Personally I don't think he cares who wins, because he probably believes that the US middle east policy won't change very much.

8. bin Laden is a CIA op

he's been on the payroll since we supported him while the Russians were in Afghanistan.

So you might say the CIA has a trademark on bin Laden's image. ;-)

[Philosophy]

10. Did any of you actually listen to his speech?

If Rove wrote the script I seriously doubt he would have had OBL mention the "My Pet Goat" incident.

[AnIndependentTexan]

11. remember he has done that in the past with other candidates

[Philosophy]

13. Huh? I think you missed my point.

Why would Rove write a speech for OBL ridiculing *, when if his point was to inspire fear in voters to drive them to support * it would have been much more effective for OBL to just threaten us?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

14. Just Stop It!

Making sense, that is.

15. sympathy vote and pity

Karl Rove sent out fliers with bad stuff about his own candidate and then blame the challengers camp. They were caught off guard and didn't know how to respond. His side won that time. I believe it is in Bush brain

[MatrixEscape]

12. You know ...

it's bad enough that people have to be wary and critical when it comes to government disinfo, but Rove-Bush have managed to botch things up so well that all they have accomplished is to create more distrust and even paranoia.

Rove's dirty trick tactics worked when Bush was going for an Incumbent Governor. It worked well and that was mostly the fault of the public for being easily duped by negative propaganda.

Rove thought that would work again, but I was told that historically, attack-mode negative campaigning does not work for an Incumbent. Since Bushista has NOTHING positive to run on, what else could they do? Rove's one-track mind is probably doing more to lose the election than we could have hoped for.

Overkill is overkill. They overdid it big time and so Rove's Achilles' heel is his strategy itself. It stands out like a sore thumb. Who could help but notice it is much more of a tactic than factual observation?

16. ... Karl Rove propaganda scheme? LOL.

No offense, but some of you on here have too much time on your hands and need to be a little more realistic about the world. Go outside, get some fresh air. Step away from your computer...

[MatrixEscape]

17. What was that supposed to mean?

The next time you join a discussion, perhaps it would help not to be condescending and trite ;) It might be a waste of your own time.

Thanks, and welcome to DU!

[Utmost Certainty]

18. I apologize

I just have a pretty strong disdain for this tinfoil hat stuff.

[MatrixEscape]

19. Accepted ...

Well, at least the thread warned us it was going to be tinfoil, ey?

Oh, and where does one find good ol' tinfoil these days? Aluminum seems to prevail. LOL!

[AnIndependentTexan]

20. that is why I gave a tinfoil hat warning, but said it was interesting

[Utmost Certainty]

21. I understand

but then when I see people not taking it with the grain of salt it was meant to be, it can become a little bit infuriating.

[AnIndependentTexan]

24. but questioning is what we do best at DU

Sometimes it takes questioning to get a better understanding. Have you ever look at Bush Brain? I've heard a lot talk about it here.
