New Bin Laden Audiotape: Desperation Time
October 23, 2007
Osama bin Laden released a new audiotape yesterday, and although it received little coverage in the mainstream media (somewhat predictably, given the disastrous and tragic wildfires currently raging in California), it was extremely significant. Here's more from CBN News:
Osama bin Laden called for Iraqi insurgents to unite and avoid divisive "extremism," speaking in an audiotape aired Monday and apparently intended to win over Sunnis opposed to al-Qaida's branch in Iraq.
In the audiotape broadcast on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden said insurgents should admit "mistakes" and that he even advises himself not to be extreme in his leadership.
The tape appeared to be in response to moves by some Sunni Arab tribes in Iraq that have joined U.S. troops in fighting al-Qaida members, as well as other Sunni insurgent groups that - while still attacking Americans - have formed coalitions opposed to al-Qaida.
Read it all. At this point, it's undeniable that Al-Qaeda in Iraq is reeling. Click on the viewer above to watch my analysis.
