wow....new bin laden tape
shmokes:
I wonder if this will have any effect. I'm sure you all know by now that Osama bin Laden has released a new video tape, presumably hoping to affect the outcome of the election.
Here's an excerpt that could be important:
"We had agreed with the (the September 11) overall commander Mohammed Atta, may God rest his soul, to carry out all operations in 20 minutes before Bush and his administration take notice.
"It never occurred to us that the commander in chief of the American forces (Bush) would leave 50,000 citizens in the two towers to face those horrors alone at a time when they most needed him because he thought listening to a child discussing her goat and its ramming was more important than the planes and their ramming of the skyscrapers. This had given us three times the time needed to carry out the operations, thanks be to God...
Santoro:
I'm sorry, I am not sure how that excerpt will have any importance whatsoever.
Could you please elaborate on your point?
Are you implying that because Bush didn't drop the child's book and run, you agree that he somehow enabled the terrorists? If yes, the fact that you are lapping up this stuff like a kitten to milk is truly alarming.
This video was a taunt, a signal for the cells to engage, or possibly an attempt to negotiate. In either case it helps W.

JoyMonkey:
I don't think that Shmokes is agreeing with what Bin Laden is saying, but that is what Bin Laden is trying to say. The tape has no relevance to anything, Osama is just trying to make voters freak out before the election over nothing.
Crazy Cooter:
I honestly don't think it will help or harm either candidate.

Agreed. It's just there to intimidate.
