1. OSAMA BIN LADEN Live or Memorex? Only Allah knows for sure.

CAIRO, Egypt - Osama bin Laden will release a new video in the coming days ahead of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks in what would be the first new images of the terror mastermind in nearly three years, al-Qaida’s media arm announced Thursday.

Analysts noted that al-Qaida tends to mark the Sept. 11 anniversary with a slew of messages, and the Department of Homeland Security said it had no credible information warning of an imminent threat to the United States.

Still, bin Laden’s appearance would be significant. The al-Qaida leader has not appeared in new video footage since October 2004, and he has not put out a new audiotape in more than a year, his longest period without a message.

One difference in his appearance was immediately obvious. The announcement had a still photo from the coming video, showing bin Laden addressing the camera, his beard fully black. In his past videos, bin Laden’s beard was almost entirely gray with dark streaks.

We haven’t heard from Osama in quite some time. I’ve been under the assumption that he’s been pushing up wildflowers in Pakistan. I guess maybe he is alive.

In any case, it will be more of the same democratic talking points from Al Qaeda.

Senators Clinton, Schumer and Reid, you have a Mr. Osama on line one….
