Osama, bo bamah, bannana, fanna, fo mama. Fee, Fi.....

Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden called on the Europeans to stop helping the United States in the war in Afghanistan, according to excerpts of a new audiotape broadcast Thursday on Al-Jazeera television.

AND THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO TELL YOU!

Here's why!

Osama said a whole lot of other stuff on Al-Jazeera TV but the point I'm trying to bring up is this................ If we really want to marginalize Osama bin-Laden and people like him, then anything they have to say should be totally ignored!!!!!

Let him spout all he wants to on Arab TV but don't give him a soapbox here in the West.

Please, whenever you get some new tape on Al Queada or bin Laden or whomever, just throw it in the garbage.

Let there be a giant vacuum where these guys once stood and it will soon become apparent that they can't manipulate Western public opinion because let's face it boys and girls, out of sight is out of mind.

Let the army and the spooks and the diplomats deal with these nut cases but don't give them a free ride in the media.
