Osama Bin Laden-Explosive Politician

That new tape by Osama bin Laden is real, according to the CIA. It made me think, because all the people he criticized, that he's really just an explosive poltican.

By that, I mean, he criticizes world leaders and he has his own agenda. That would be kind of making him a politican (not to mention he has a rather large backing and financial support). And the explosive part...rather explains itself. He is a terrorist.

The CIA also claims that this is the first Osama tape in a while that does not have a call to arms. That's good news. But of course, he's airing his message, and that's never good. (Seattle Times- "The tape is more about his own audience, about getting himself re-elected as the head of the movement, than anything else," said Winston Wiley, former CIA deputy director of intelligence.)

That's a very interesting look at it, and I'm inclined to agree.
