Osama Bin Distractin

Updated to include the new video and the new poll.

The day after the first national poll showed that 70 million Americans support a new 9/11 investigation, and 55% of Americans disapprove of the way in which the media has covered questions surrounding 9/11, what does the mainstream media do?

They covered the poll, and apologized for their terrible coverage of the evidence that 9/11 was an inside job or allowed to happen on purpose! Finally, it only took them 4 and a half years, but they've finally started reporting the truth!

Uh ... no. Instead, all of the major networks are ignoring the poll and instead running a story about how Osama directed 9/11. Specifically, the top story at all of the MSM websites is something like "Osama bin Laden says Zacarias Moussaoui had nothing to do with the 9/11 terrorists attacks", that Osama directed the 19 hijackers on exactly what to do, and crazy old Moussaoui wasn't one of them.

How convenient of Osama to distract attention away from the poll. What a helpful chap. It doesn't matter that the Osama videos about 9/11 are fake, according to scientists and top Bin Laden experts, or that he is dead, according to Israeli intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, and other sources.

And whether or not he's dead, it doesn't matter that the CIA met with Bin Laden 2 months before 9/11. And Walter Cronkite, America's most trusted newsman, must have really lost it when he said of a previous Bin Laden tape:

"I'm a little inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, he probably set up bin Laden to this thing...."

Don't look at the man behind the curtain, folks.

Osama Bin Distractin, once again.

Update: They did it again. Hours after a new poll showed the majority of Americans want Congress to investigate Bush and Cheney in connection with 9/11, a "new" Bin Laden video appears.

I watched CNN

They are waiting for the US government (i.e. the CIA) to confirm it is Uncle Osama. If the CIA told me day follows night, I would sit outside on the balcony until 7:00 a.m. to check. Why would any thinking person want to believe the CIA on anything to do with Islamic terrorism?

In October 2004 Uncle Osama gave a great pro-Bush speech. A couple of months later Buzzy Krongard said "Hey, let's not catch Uncle Osama after all." A few months after that Alec Station, which was actually trying to catch him, was disbanded. Does this not worry people in the mainstream?

Start at September 12, 2001 for Uncle Osama's post 9/11 career

On the other hand, I have to hand it to the people who prime the pump for Uncle Osama. Last year they did really good by planting a rumour he was dead in a regional French daily. This year they got in just about every media, just by announcing they would launch a new video. Way to go! Next time get his beard the right colour and you are home free.
