1. I'm trying to figure out why they bothered to release this.

[Veronica.Franco]

4. To belittle OBL ...

he appears small, self-absorbed, and pathetic ... the video makes him human and UNgawd like ...

[uppityperson]

6. I am amused at hearing on radio about his being a frail old man. 54 is Old man?

It is to make him appear pitiful, weak, pathetic.

17. Confirmation of The Real Bin Laden(TM)

without the gory trophies.

That's my guess anyway. A good move, if thats the case.

[dipsydoodle]

18. Apparently

they knew that al qaeda had them too and they wanted to get in quick before they were released elsewhere.

2. He was a messy guy.

Every time I see video of the residence I think... Osama didn't clean much.

[Veronica.Franco]

7. and he had THREE wives with him ...

guess they don't do windows ... ;-)

12. Sure it's messy...this was his 'Man Cave'

[chill_wind]

3. Ah yes. "Living high off the hog" in his $1mil luxury palace.

Isn't that what they told us? His followers would be so resentful and envious if they could see his digs?

5. I don't think that power strip is code.

8. Sarah Smith of Channel 4 (UK) summarized this and others

9. Too bad he couldn't afford a big, flat screen TV.

He'd seem much more imposing to himself.

[drokhole]

14. Is that a CRT?

It looks like it has a bulbous screen, but I thought those 'flickered' when they're recorded?

[Tanelorn]

10. Come on Osama you have the remote ,change the channel this is borrrring

[Tanelorn]

11. At minute 2 you see a calculator with a printer tape. I wonder what he was

calculating. Was he taking an accountancy course 'when this
all blew over'?

[JJW]

13. Some mastermind monster

He was such a supposed threat to the nation, however apparently can't even afford a decent TV.

No war ships, no fighter jets (not even a single prop plane or drone), no WMDs, no tanks, no army.

[AmericaIsGreat]

15. Well as far as ships, jets, tanks

Bin Laden has always been proud of being kinda old fashioned. In past videos he has mentioned how America has all these weapons and the mujahideen with an AK and some grenades are still kicking their ass. This is great propaganda/motivation.

[pettypace]

16. No doubts this is authentic?

The youtubes are 90% in that direction.
