Osama, Saddam, Powell and those new tapes

national | miscellaneous | news report Wednesday February 12, 2003 03:00 by ollie - Katalyzer

Al Jazeera get a tape 'of poor quality' with 'Osama' on it...Powell has a transcript in advance...strange. Osama goes on about Iraq : he says things like 'Hide in deeply dug trenches'...US shouldn't bomb Iraq' Powell claims this is proof that there is a link between Saddam and Osama. However ,it turns out ,the good people at 'democraticunderground.com' have saved earlier (ie a few hours ago) reports of the transcript...and in it, Osama claims the Iraqi people should rise up and overthrow Saddam! Judge for yourself: truth used to be the first casuality, but now truth is a permanent casuality in the endless war on terror ,so I ,like just about everybody else, doesn't fully know what's going on...

I'm just waiting for Prince Charles, Bishop Desmond tutu, Bob Geldof, Ralph Naider, Michael Moore , Anita Ruddock and, naturally ,the Pope to move to/holiday for a while in the Iraqi capital to make it impossible for bombing to begin...
