You Heard About this Bin Laden Guy?

He demands that cartoonists be handed over to him for trial. What's that? A god complex, he thinks he has judicial jurisdiction over the entire world?
He wants a Holy War in Sudan? That is the best he can do? He lost Afghanistan, he lost Iraq, so he is down to friggin' Sudan? Loser. Even the idiots in Hamas are running away so they won't be associated with him. Update: Even the foreign minister of Sudan is dissing this guy!
And the Democrats are pissed because we can't find him? It took 5 years to find Eric Rudolph and he was hiding in the US! Get over it.
Bin Laden has jumped the shark. The US needs a new arch-fiend to battle. One that we can respect for his cunning and resourcefulness. Not a loony hiding in a hut on some god-forsaken mountain somewhere, scared of his own shadow, waiting for that final Hellfire missile to scream down at him.
Update: OpFor says Bin Laden is jealous of Iran and is looking for a battle that it can actually win (i.e., genocide against unarmed African villagers).
Update: NY Post: Counterterrorism analyst Steven Emerson said, "It seems on this tape as though he is afraid of becoming irrelevant." OBL is also described as "increasingly isolated and desparate."
Update: Tigerhawk has fun:
Al Qaeda drew a line in the sands of the Sunni Triangle, and the United States Army and Marines walked right across it. First, al Qaeda tried to kill Americans, per bin Laden's orders. It largely failed. Then al Qaeda went after America's allies, and succeeded only in turning public opinion against itself in every Muslim country it attacked. After thirty months of battlefield defeats and political embarrassments, bin Laden won't even mention Iraq in one of his rare public utterances, and he rallies his troops to fight a war where American soldiers aren't. How humiliating. How delightful.
