ABC News reports that Islamist web sites have announced that Osama bin Laden will have a new message out in the next few hours or days. Apparently, Osama bin Watchin' CNN:

A new Osama bin Laden message from al Qaeda's as-Sahab Institute for Media Production is to be released soon, according to IntelCenter, which monitors extremist websites. Sites have begun to advertise a new message.

In his message, bin Laden will reportedly address events in Gaza and Lebanon. This message has been expected and is consistent with new efforts in 2006 by al Qaeda's senior leadership to be responsive in their messages to current developments.

This impulse comes from a deep-seated need to prove to his followers that Osama bin Breathin'. Whenever Osama goes off the air for more than a few weeks, rumors start to fly that the al-Qaeda chieftain has kicked the bucket. In order to combat the rumors, every few weeks Osama has shown up to pull a Fiorello LaGuardia and read the newspapers aloud, followed with the usual exhortation to kill all the infidels, death to the West, jihadda jihadda jihadda.

Really, couldn't the man just get himself a blog?
