Via Stop The ACLU, Rusty at The Jawa Report has the staight deal about some confirmation from a jihadi website of this

DEVELOPING STORY: Federal counterterrorism officials are analyzing a posting on an Islamic forum Web site that warns of "a special gift" to be given on the sixth anniversary of Sept. 11, FOX News has learned.

The warning was posted Sept. 2 on a site frequented by radical groups and said in part that "there will be a special gift coming on the day of the blessed invasion of Manhattan."

Federal officials told FOX News they are trying to determine if it might be a specific warning or just part of broad chatter that has been heard during the last few months.

Postings talking about "gifts" have been seen before in the days leading up to the anniversary of Sept. 11.

Joining the party a little late, was out playing golf under the freedom that GWB has provided.

Sounds threatening to me. And considering that I monitor a lot of this stuff, if I even think its scary, then I think that’s saying something. It may not be a direct specific threat about an impending attack, but it is a general threat. And it reminds us of exactly who it is we’re fighting.

If Rusty is worried, so should the rest of us. It begs the question, is all this referring to a new tape, or a new attack?

I’d suggest checking out all the trackbacks at both the Jawa Report and Stop the ACLU for more details and analysis.

Michelle M says Osama got a makeover.

42% of Democrats polled believe the new bin Laden tape will feature Ron Silver in a robe and theatrical beard extensions — and that anything that blows up from here on out is proof positive that Bushco is invested in keeping the phony War on Terror alive, even if it means planning stealth demolitions, or dragging Karl Rove out of retirement so that he can don his ninja gear, head to the East Village, and detonate a radiological weapon himself.

But 99% believe it is all some booga booga made up terra scare designed to drag the US into a facist state. Do I dare dumpster dive? I do, I do!

• Maybe it will become a holiday tradition like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. n/t
• Perhaps he and Petraeus can go out for drinks with bush afterward Funny, isn’t it, how Osama bin forgotten manages to rear his head each time bush needs to rally support.
• Hmmm…let me guess. We suck? We’re infidels? Oh hell, the suspense is killing me..
• I thought everyone knew that he’s living in the WH basement. They only let him out whenever GWB needs some help. (believe it or not, stuff like this is meant seriously)
• He’s Dead They’ll just regurgitate some clip they have of him, that was recorded 5-10 years ago.
• I agree. There hasn’t been a credible video of the guy since 2001. (there goes the leftard talking point about Bush getting Osama!)
• then again, this could be a MAJOR distraction from what…..Cheney and cronies are planning for a big October surprise.
  Nukes on B-52’s. Nothing to see here folks…
• I wouldn’t be surprised if the video is years old, and is being released by the secret government (Illuminati!!!!!!!!)
• the CIA is doing the final edit now…
• You do have to wonder..You do have to wonder if Osama bin Laden is even still alive or just another "puppet" for the CIA and the Bushes. This one not even a real one except on Memorex. Remember the Reichstag! (again, this is meant seriously. With a bonus Nazi reference)
• Who the hell is "SITE", and why is Osama getting wall to wall promo’s on every network? And why can’t they find him. Horsehockey – this whole thing is concocted. His family has been in business with the Bush family for 30 years. Osama’s brother was with Georges dad the day of 9-11. The last time he showed his face he said "vote for Kerry". It’s all part of the great game of war in which families like the Bush’s and Bin Ladens become wealthy beyond your comprehension.
• and afterwards CIA will declare the video ‘genuine’ in a matter of minutes…..and will also ‘discover’ the video was shot in IRAN…
• Osama might be dead, but even if he is deceased pretending he’s alive is one way for the jihadis to rag on Bush. The old "Nyah, nyah, you can’t catch me!" routine. It’s a good AQ recruitment ploy too,
  "The man the infidels can’t kill!" (So Iraq is not making more jihadis?)

Found on that thread is this picture which encapsolates the leftard position perfectly

Well, one position. The other is that we need to understand the jihadi’s and have a dialogue. Followed by surrender and dhimmitude.
