Bush: Preparing My Legacy

You may or may not be a big fan of President Bush, but you will have to admit that this latest satire from Mark Fiore is more than a bit entertaining…

We are sharing it with you this evening just as the other legacy fanatic, Osama Bin Laden is rumored to be preparing to address the American people within the next 72 hours with a new video just in time for the anniversary of the “Invasion of Manhattan” as al-Qaeda prefers to call it…

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

“I think it works for their (al-Qaida’s) benefit that he looks young, he looks healthy,” Katz said.

The announcement and photo appeared in a banner advertisement on an Islamic militant Web site where al-Qaida’s media arm, Al-Sahab, frequently posts messages.

“Soon, God willing, a videotape from the lion sheik Osama bin Laden, God preserve him,” the advertisement read, signed by Al-Sahab. Such announcements are usually put out one to three days before the video is posted on the Web.

IntelCenter, which monitors Islamic Web sites and analyzes terror threats, 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. — AP
