BIN LADIN WANTS EQUAL TIME

I've said it for years: Dictators and despots love the spotlight. When someone else gets too much PR, they lapse into a bad case of "dictator envy". For example: Kim Jong Il rattles his sabers in North Korea... then Ahmadinejad spews about driving Israel into the sea. Anything to get publicity.  Nasty competition.

In domestic craziness, we have the dueling videos of anti-America speech from Obama's pastor... and now an ANTI-Barack "minister".  So religion's in the mix this week, capturing the news cycle. That brings us to the Arch Terrorist.

Today Osama Bin Ladin issued a new audio recording, taking on the Pope. And offensive cartoons. In a strange way, merging all the current news and odd behavior patterns of the week so far.  See what I mean? Jealousy isn't pretty.  Next up: Expect a sequel from "Azzam the American", the traitor from Hemet, CA who is usually joined at the hip with Zawahiri.
