A newly broadcast audiotape believed to be from Osama bin Laden slams the West for cutting off funds to the Palestinian Hamas-led government and calls on al Qaeda followers to fight a proposed international force in Sudan.

It's just his way of letting everyone know he's still around. The man has no real influence anymore, other than as a mouthpiece for radical Islam. His command and control of global terror operations is all but gone since we've killed or captured most of his staff, frozen many of his assets, and destroyed his bases of operations. It's hard to wage global war when you're stuck in a cave in the Middle of Nowhere, Pakistan.

Palestinians voted a new party into power. Hamas, labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S., now holds a majority of seats in parliament. The abrupt reversal has created new turmoil in the Middle East.
According to final results released, Hamas won 74 out of 132 seats in the Palestinian parliament and Fatah won 45.
Many residents seem angry at the Fatah movement, which they said had done nothing to improve their lives over the past 10 years.

Bin Ladin, when caught, needs to be rapped by a hog, and beat to death with a honey roasted ham. That way he is too unclean to recieve his 70 virgins.

Hamas was democratically elected in free elections. Will we seek regime change for democracies now? Perhaps install a friendly dictator like we did in the recent past in other nations???

The Hamas party take over is similar to what type of partys are gaining control in Iraq as we speak. "The party for Islamic revolution" is the most powerful party in Iraq right now - and is backed by Iran.

If they gain power in free elections that we helped orchestrate, what can we say? Will we then destroy a freely elected Gov. that our soldiers died to help create?

Tough questions that must be addressed now ,,,, or later. Dismissing the possibility will make it more likely to occur(.)

You just won't quit, will you? Anything to make the administration look like jackasses, right? Our soldiers died so that the Palestinians could vote? Where the hell are you getting your news? We went to Afghanistan and Iraq, not Gaza!

I don'tcare how democratic an election is--if murderers are the ones elected, that doesn't mean they get a free pass. I'm glad the Palestinians exercised their inalienable rights, but if they keep supporting terrorists, we're going to keep cleaning up after their mess.

If you were a virgin, would you want to snuggle up to some modern-day cave man? [&:]
