Quelle surprise !

With Mossad, at least we all know where we stand.

They do exactly what it says on their tin.

I'm curious as to the deafening silence of a certain global terror supremo on the latest edition of Israeli murder . . .

Has he lost interest do you think ?

Who could have imagined!

His silence was deafening and you knew, deep down, it couldn't last.

Didn't you ?

Osama's that is, not Obama's.

US: Apparent bin Laden tape shows isolation

US: Apparent bin Laden tape shows isolation AFP/IntelCenter – This photo provided by IntelCenter and taken from As-Sahab shows Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House on Wednesday declined to authenticate a purported audio message from Al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden but said it appeared to be an effort to stay relevant and raise money.

"It appears this tape demonstrates his isolation and continued attempts to remain relevant at a time when Al-Qaeda's ideology, mission, and agenda are being questioned and challenged throughout the world," said spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

"This also looks to be an effort to raise money as part of their ongoing propaganda campaign," said Johndroe, who underlined "I won't speak to the authenticity of the audiotape, that is for others."

A US counter-terrorism official, who requested anonymity, told AFP: "There is no reason to doubt that he (bin Laden) is alive and that he does play a role in directing Al-Qaeda efforts, particularly at a strategic level."

The recording, highlighted by a US-based monitoring service, came less than one week before US president-elect Barack Obama takes office January 20 and inherits the global war on terrorism that President George W. Bush launched after Al-Qaeda's September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

Obama's transition team declined to comment.

"The United States promotes an alternative, hopeful ideology while continuing to partner with over 90 countries to pursue terrorists wherever they are," Johndroe said.

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack echoed the White House remarks that it demonstrated bin Laden's isolation when he ends up criticizing Muslim clerics, Israel, the United States, the US president-elect.

"It's just another propaganda effort," McCormack added.

"I also take it as a sign that Al-Qaeda has largely been driven from the heart of the Middle East, Iraq... in that fight," he said. Critics say Al-Qaeda only entered Iraq after the US-led invasion in 2003.

"Yet, it is also an indication that Al-Qaeda and bin Laden are still out there, and that continued vigilance ... to protect against the threat that still exists is required," he said.

In his first recorded statement in eight months, bin Laden demanded a holy war against Israel in revenge for its deadly Gaza offensive, the IntelCentre service said.

In the 22-minute audio recording entitled "A Call for Jihad to Stop Aggression Against Gaza," Bin Laden called for a holy war to restore "Jerusalem and Palestine," IntelCentre said.

The Al-Qaeda leader slammed Arab and Islamic governments for their response to the Israeli onslaught in which nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed, at least 292 of them children.

He also discussed the likely policies of the Obama administration in the face of the global economic slowdown in further proof of the recording's recent date.

The tape was posted as part of a video message which carried a still of Bin Laden and the logo of Al-Qaeda's media arm As-Sahab.

It was his first message since May, when he slammed Western leaders for taking part in celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the Jewish state.
