I have no idea what the lyrics in this song
are saying, but visually, it’s hysterical.

A Tale of Two Tapes
While US President Barack Hussein Obama was delivering a speech to the world’s Muslims from Cairo, a tape from Osama bin Laden was circulating through the media and on the internet.
A man’s voice, reputedly that of Osama bin Laden, intoned the following:
“Obama and his administration put new seeds of hatred and revenge against America. The number of these seeds is the same as the number of those victims and refugees in Swat and the tribal areas in northern and southern Waziristan. This way, Obama proved that he’s is walking the same road of his predecessors to build enmity against Muslims”
Another audio tape. Uh-huh, right. How about a video of the guy, al-Qaeda?
Is that a problem? I think it probably is. < Our Osama bin Waldo article.
Obama’s speech, on the other hand, was delivered in person. Though worldwide reactions to the President’s speech did vary, the average response to it has been positive.
Here’s the US President’s speech (55 min, 45 sec.):
Has anyone else slipped and accidentally referred to Obama as “Osama” — or vice versa?
Mea culpa. Sorry Barry.

Attempt on Life of Former Iran Prez?
Violence mars Iranian election campaign

Campaign offices of an Iranian presidential candidate were burned down on Monday night, as it was revealed that a former Iranian president narrowly escaped an assassination attempt last week in the run-up to the elections.
One of the intended passengers for a domestic Iranian flight on which a bomb was found on Saturday was former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami, the Iranian daily Sarmayeh reported on Monday.
A bomb was discovered on the plane 15 minutes into the flight from the southern Iranian city Ahvaz bound for the capital Teheran. The plane turned back to the airport in Ahwaz, where authorities disarmed the bomb.
It’s probably a safe bet that it will be blamed on
the Ahwazis of Khuzestan. No one has yet claimed
responsibility for the plot — and no one likely will.
About Iran and the Iranians
Someone just wrote to ask me what I’ve got against Iran.
I wrote to ask what he meant by that and he replied, saying, that I seem to have a lot of material on the blog that could be considered anti-Iranian or anti-Muslim.
So, this is probably a good time to address the issue.
I am emphatically pro-Iranian and pro-Iran. Not the government bigwigs, but the guy running the fruit stand; the bakery; the neighbourhood taxi; or the woman getting her kids off to school in the morning; the young girl dreaming of her wedding; the young poet, whether she is writing about music… or dancing about architecture.
Iran is a big country, with over 65 million people spread over an area about one-fifth the size of the United States. It has a brilliant culture that has woven itself together (with strands from many faraway places) over thousands of years. It has, at various times, made great strides in science, design, mathematics, human rights and political thought. I just don’t happen to consider the past 30 years of its history to be its crowning renaissance. And I think that most Iranians would—even if reluctantly—have to agree with me on that.
As for being anti-Muslim: Anyone who can remember to give thanks to G-d five times a day is all right by me. The Lord Eternal is my Rock and Redeemer, too.
The crew presently running the show in Iran are not evil because they are Muslim. They are misguided because they would risk the whole world to advance their theological interpretation of the Mohammedan scriptures. They see “their way” as the best exemplar of the will of G-d (Allah), which is intrinsically arrogant.
The reigning political cabal in Tehran bears strikingly resemblance to a sophisticated doomsday cult that would harness the national pride of its people and the broader surety of Islam in service of its own self-declared objective of hastening the appearance of the Messiah (al-Mahdi) by bringing the world to the brink of absolute chaos.
And that’s just not fair to the guy at the fruit stand. Not to mention the rest of us.
Azerbaijan Tries Embassy Attack Plotters
UPDATED: June 11, 2009 4:30 p.m.
The two Lebanese suspects (Karaki Ali Mohammad and Najmaddin Ali Huseyn) were traveling under Iranian passports and had planned multiple attacks. According to the Jerusalem Post today, Azeri officials have reported in the media that the suspects are members of Hezbollah and have ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and al-Qaida. Hezbollah has vowed to avenge the death of its terror mastermind Imad (no relation 🙂 ) Mugniyeh, who was blown to bits in a car-bomb explosion early last year. No one has claimed responsibility for the blast.

BAKU: Two Lebanese and four Azerbaijanis have gone on trial on terrorism charges in Baku for planning an attack on the Israeli Embassy in Azerbaijan’s capital, an official said Monday.
The trial, which began on May 27, is being held behind closed doors and has been adjourned until June 10, a spokesman for Azerbaijan’s serious crimes court told AFP on condition of anonymity.
“According to the indictment, the citizens of Lebanon … arrived in Azerbaijan under orders to commit acts of terrorism,” the spokesman said.
He said they were “connected to” the Lebanese Shiite resistance group Hizbullah and the Sunni Al-Qaeda network…
