Breaking News: Bin Laden Lacks Credibility. Posted by Patrick Barry

Hopefully Spencer is wrong, and Obama's speech in Cairo tomorrow won't amount to a rebuttal of Osama Bin Laden's world view.  As sparring partners go, I doubt very much that Obama could top Dubya, and I'd just as soon not see him try.  I do agree though that the tape cries for a smack of some kind.  Take UBL's transparent attempt at styling himself defender of Islamic justice in the Swat valley.  From the LA Times:

In the tape, the speaker accuses Obama of ordering Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari to "prevent the people of Swat from implementing the Sharia law by fighting and killing them through bombings and destruction.

Nevermind the fact that Zardari actually signed a law implementing Sharia in Swat.  Let's leave that aside for now, and turn to the purported UBL tape from March, in which the speaker called for newly-elected Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed to be "fought and toppled."  Really? So Sharia is good in Swat, but bad when its promoted by a documented Islamist and supporter of the Islamic Courts Union, with acquiesence from the U.S.? That seems like a pretty clear demonstration that the man hasn't the slightest bit of interest in advancing Muslim causes, apart from using them as a foothold to antagonize the U.S.

I for one am glad we've dispensed with the days of going narrative for narrative with this clown.

I would be greatly surprised if Obama even so much as mentions Osama Bin Laden's name, or alludes in any direct way to these purported messages from him.

I don't think that we can realistically expect that there will be an international investigation of the murder. It might not be bad to postpone the election by a week or two. Any more than that could cause some concern. I would hope that Bhutto's party is already underway in choosing another candidate that people would know and trust.
