Op-Ed by Kevin Barrett

As a Ph.D Islamologist and Arabist I really hate to say this, but I'll

it anyway: 9/11 had nothing to do with Islam. The war on terror is as
phony as the latest "Bin Laden tape."

...The trouble is, it's all based on a Big Lie. Take the recent "Bin
Laden
tape". That voice was no more bin Laden than it was Rodney Dangerfield
channeling my late Aunt Corinne from Peoria. I recently helped

a
previously unknown bin Laden tape, a real one from the early 90's, back
when
he was still alive. I know the guy's flowery religious rhetoric. The
recent tape wasn't him.

The top American bin Laden expert agrees. Professor Bruce Lawrence,

of
Duke University's Religious Studies department, has just published a

of
translations of bin Laden's speeches. He says the recent tape is a

and that bin Laden has been dead for years.

Ersatz bin Laden tapes, "verified" by the CIA, are nothing new. Every
"Bin
Laden" statement since 2001 has been blatantly bogus. The last we heard
from the real bin Laden came in his post-9/11 statements to Pakistani
journalists: "I stress that I have not carried out this act, which
appears
to have been carried out by individuals with their own motivation...I

already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the
United States...I had no knowledge of these attacks..."

Then on December 13th, 2001, as George Bush was whining about the
"outrageous conspiracy theories" that were spreading like wildfire, the
first and shoddiest of the "Bin Laden speaks from beyond the grave"

appeared. The video's sound and picture quality were horrible. It

a
big guy with a black beard, doing a passable imitation of bin Laden's
voice,
claiming foreknowledge, if not responsibility, for the 9/11 attacks, and
chortling over their success. The trouble was, the big guy clearly was
not
bin Laden. He was at least 40 or 50 pounds heavier, and his facial
features
were obviously different.

The "Fatty Bin Laden" was widely ridiculed, and I have yet to meet an
informed observer who considers it authentic. (If you haven't figured
this
out yet, go back and look at the images from the tape, and compare them

other images of bin Laden.) But the media let the fraud pass without
asking
the hard questions: Why was the US government waving this blatantly

"confession" video in our faces?

Perhaps due to the widespread hilarity evoked by "Fatty Bin Laden," the
next
"Osama from beyond the grave" message had no images--it was an audio

delivered to al-Jazeera in fall, 2002. The CIA verified it as authentic
and
then got a rotten egg in the face when the world's leading voice
identification experts at IDIAP in Switzerland reported that "the

was recorded by an imposter."

Every "bin Laden" message since then has been equally phony. They are
released at moments when the Bush regime needs a boost---and the

media goes along with the fraud. Remember the bogus bin Laden tape that
made headlines right before the 2004 presidential elections? ...Walter
Kronkite, bless his heart, opined that Karl Rove was behind that tape.
But
the rest of the media just kept pretending that the Emperor was clothed.

And the fraud continues. Last week's "bin Laden tape" has been

by
America's top bin Laden expert--yet the US media keep right on holding a
transparent fig leaf in front of the Emperor's crotch! Professor

believes that this phony tape was designed to distract world opinion

the horrific massacre of Pakistani civilians by an errant CIA drone.

it
may have another, more sinister purpose: to prepare public opinion for
another false-flag 9/11 style attack designed to trigger a US-Israeli
attack
on Iran.

As our top bin Laden expert Professor Lawrence informs us, the real bin
Laden, who insisted he had nothing to do with 9/11, has been dead for
quite
some time--probably since 2001. The fake messages have been fabricated

al-CIA-duh to support the Bush regime and its phony "war on terror." It
is
time for Americans to rise up in revolt against the fake-terror masters
who
are looting American taxpayers, torching our Constitution, and

nuclear Armageddon.
