New Bin Laden Tape

Osama Bin Laden, terrorist and international bogeyman released yet another post-9/11 tape yesterday.

In it, he offers the heand of friendship to Americans if we'll just stop supporting those pesky Israelis. Good luck, Man.

In the video, Bin Laden tells the American people that they have the power to stop the war on terror, all we have to do is work toward changing the white house's policy on US-Israeli relations and punish those who are in charge.

Geeze. Does this guy see what we're dealing with here at home? We can't decide if we're going north or south on the simplest of domestic issues, and he's putting out a call to action on foreign policy?

Who is Bin Laden's PR guy? Seriously. Right now, Israel/Palestine controversies have been put on the way back burner. If the guy wanted to strike any kind of cord at all, he would have hit current hot buttons, like health care and the economy.

The truth is, in the end, Bin Laden has to get his act together if he ever wants to be a strong political force in this country. Drop the whole Israeli platform and weigh in on something we really care about, like whether or not it's okay to yell at a town hall meeting. Until then, Americans just aren't going to take you seriously, Osama. Sorry.
