Why isn't this news a major headline?

Edited on Mon Sep-01-03 09:55 AM by Kbowe

"Allleged tape from Saddam"
"Saddam denies involvment in Jajaf bombing."

Should be a banner headline on the major networks but it is not.

Full text of Saddam's speech: 9/1/03

8. I agree

CBS has been the only news outlet even feigning objectivity. "Useless Today" on the other hand has been worse than Faux.

Too bad. I used to respect USA Today. No more.

6. Ever since the Fat Osama and Al Qaeda hurts puppies tapes

The various releases of the US Disinfo office have been received with increasing indifference by both East and West, media and public.

7. I don't get it

it looks bad for him to be involved in political hits so he issues a tape saying 'its not ME'.

so what ? would you expect him to tell the truth on something like this if it were his idea ?

this is a non-event.

9. I get it. He really had nothing to do with it!

If he had, it would be a wonderful way to instill more fear in the minds of Iraqis for him to claim that he did it. Muslims would not bomb Musliims at prayers...not even Saddam would do this...no Osama. But who would? When you come up with that answer you will know the truth.
