New Osama video seems yet another forgery. Everyone needs Osama alive: terrorists as symbolic leader and the US Administration - to avoid scaling down the war on terror.

Obadiah Shoher rightly notes (
http://www.samsonblinded.org/news/osama-commemorates-911-1114 ) that new Osama talks like a leftist university professor. I like Shoher's analysis. No way a terrorist leader like Osama would use a speechwriter. Osama is famous for his rhetoric.

Also, in the tape Osama both threatens America with attack (by "proving" Americans polytheists) and offers (yet another time) long-term coaching in Islam. But his dyed beard makes me cautious. Islam's mujahedeen dye their
beards before battle.
